I don't know about soft pads but as for games just get a ps2->USB and download all the DDR packs itg packs as well as mungyodance and the rest of the fully charted or partially charted packs that are at the level play you want/can do

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Oh cool. People might hate on me for this (no idea what people consider the "amazing" DDR games in general) but the DDR I have is Supernova 2 (PS2) and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Has some songs from other versions included in it (Eternus is actually on here wtfff) and you can actually edit the songs that they have into your own chart if you want something harder or whatever or something. Also thoroughly enjoyed ITG1 if you're into that.

No idea what to suggest for pads, just don't get the flimsy one from Gamestop at least.

Edit: Carlos' idea is amazing

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

I will probably do just that. Thanks!

However I still need to figure out a good pad. ARE there any metal pads that are quiet? Can anyone recommend anything?

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Assuming you're still in an apartment or whatever I would imagine that even soft pads would be too loud, my dad was always complaining about mine >.> (Apartments definitely quieter than just a house but still, you're gonna be hitting that thing pretty hard)

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

the biggest problem i've found was that without like, the weight of a metal pad, (and even on a cf that i have, on carpet), it'll slide like crazy by itself. a pad with foam inserts does well, and feels well. Back in high school, a friend of mine had one of those pads with inserts that made the arrows stick up a little further than the other panels, making it a lot easier to play even with slidage

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

if you want i can make a torrent of all the pad packs that i have that way you don't have to go pack hunting like i did

this is everything that i have right now.

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Luckily I don't have carpet in my apartment so that is hopefully not an issue (it's all pretty much your typical parquet wood flooring that comes in many apts here).

The pad with foam insert was what I was wondering, since it's pretty quiet to play on barefoot. Only concern is if I'm too heavy and my stomping pisses off the person underneath me.

Wayward Vagabond: Wow, that would be fantastic. O.O I hope that isn't too much effort?

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

its all about how you step on the pad that matters really. when i was playing with my foam pad in my apartment you could hardly hear a damn thing and i was 280 pounds at the time.
i was also playing and passing DDR 9's and 10's

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Which foam pad did you use?

Also I just found Precision Dance Pads -- anyone have experience with these?

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

i used the hard foam pad that came with my ddr extreme 2 for the ps2 lol. i have no experience with any third party foam pad sadly

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Maybe I'll get both? Omega RX pad and the foam pad -- apparently both can be used barefoot and both are relatively quiet. I just hope it's not my STOMPING that's the problem, eek. I'm like an elephant in a stampede when I do anything other than walk.

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

land on the front of your feet and roll towards the heel for maximum quietude

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

Duuuuude I was just coming to this forum to ask about those pads lol. Buddy of mine says that Stepmania.com and other random sources give it a thumbs up over the 7 months they've been out. The 9-panel one is also pretty cheap considering it's metal and nine-freakin'-panels. If you get it, tell us how good it us

Wayward Vagabound: Needs more ITGRebirth XD Also y u no haves Xioa's Original Touhou Pack? Shit was fun yo (Although Gpop makes great files and Lunatic Dance was a great pack all around. His Vocaloid one is also killer IMO)

Re: So I want to get a DDR pad and game

I decided to buy an ITGX pad from Precision -- seems pretty damn perfect from what I am reading/watching
