What do you hate in DDR?

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

I hate the same way you do. The steps are usually easy, half of the time the same song is in it from another one of their games, and the game usually never differs from the other ones.

For instance, In the Groove uses their old songs again, but adds new ones. This makes it so you don't need to buy the first one to have those songs. Dance Dance puts half of their old songs in another new game, such as, like Spongy stated, Supernova. Blue Impulse(for Extreme) (I think) was in DDR Extreme 2, and they placed it in Supernova. They also placed MAX 300 Super-Max-Me mix in Ultramix 2, then again in Supernova. I just can't figure that out.

What I do now is check the songs in the DDR game before I buy it. This way, I make sure I don't as many older songs in it.

I pretty much hate it do to the fact old songs are in it from older DDR games.

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

I don't like DDR that much because there isn't alot of variety in mods, all of the songs have the same patterns for steps (pretty much) and are easy and mediocre. The note skins make it hard to distinguish what kind of note it is and actually play well, and the speedmods seem to have more of an effect than they should (this might be just the way I feel when I play, I'm not positive about this). Another reason is because they seem to underrate some of their songs. It's as if they're afraid to rate it over 10 feet. A song like Max 300 (which I can get a really bad 'A' on heavy on) is rated a 10. However, on ITG, I seem to be able to nearly get an A+ on some songs rated elevens, and the tens on the ITG machines are nowhere near as hard as a song like Max 300, which isn't even a boss song. I prefer ITG over DDR by a landslide. lol.

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

Well DDR has a much more strict step timing in ITG and the life difficulty in DDR is ridiculously high in AC versions, which would make it harder for you to pass 10-footers in DDR then some 11-footers in ITG. Also, DDR just doesn't seem to want to make hard songs now, and when they try to, they just do plain terrible at it.

I wish Konami would be more like Roxor. Why did they have to takeover ITG and cancel everything?

Intensez, Max 300 (Super-Max-Me Mix) was made in Ultramix 2.

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

Your arcade probably turned up the life difficulty. I know mine did, to like, 6. Also, QFT, the Fascination songs suck horribly.

Money.

86-89% would translate to roughly an A on DDR. AA would be like, 95+. Also, MAX300 is pretty easy IMO compared to ITG 10s, like Tension.

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

i dont HATE it but one thing that bugs me is that it some of the rythem, or how ever you spell it, arrows dont match so when your listening and the arrows dont match you miss </3 that pisses me off

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

Tension is the hardest 10 on ITG imo. The others are alot easier.

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

agreed

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

I'm an ITG player, but there is a DDR at my work that I play in the morning when I have to "test" the games (I'm a tech).

-First, the pad feels a lot different on the DDR compared to the ITG pad, I don't know why, I just feel like whenever I hit something, it doesn't register.

-Way too many songs and most of them are very easy to beat. I don't really have to set goals in DDR like I do in ITG (get a ***, or put records up in the top 10)

-Since I play ITG, I'm used to the solid NOTE color arrows, and even though you can change them in DDR to NOTE, they are see through and very annoying with the background and characters they have dancing (Yes I know you can disable characters and stuff, but it is still troublesome)

-The announcer is annoying as ****.

-I don't feel like I have as much control over the song like I do in ITG. I always have the DDR songs set way too fast or way too slow.

That's about all I can think of =P

Re: What do you hate in DDR?

Springs vs. sensors IIRC.

Because Konami is stupid and didn't include highscores for each song until SN, which still sucks.

Re: What do you hate in DDR?
