Holy shit.. people are really on a next level with this game now. Really fun watch and happy to see rhythm games getting some exposure!

Re: Guys, I got StepMania into AGDQ!!

Ended up going live just a bit too late for me, had to give in to sleep about an hour before this went live and I haven't had a chance yet to sit down and watch it yet, getting off from work in a couple of hours.

Still, it was just fun to read through all the build up hype and the reaction that went on in here while I was asleep (all 250 posts that happened just during that O_o). I feel really bad missing this live though =(.

Re: Guys, I got StepMania into AGDQ!!

my favorite part about this whole thing is seeing 3 new stepmania streams on the ffr home page from players i never heard upon waking up

then taking a shower and making breakfast and returning to find them playing LoL, minecraft, and CoD

apparently there's a bot some people use which changes their current game to whatever the most popular game is
i don't get why anyone would do that

Re: Guys, I got StepMania into AGDQ!!

also lol@those iidx retards complaining. IIDX showcase would be much more boring (I played it for more than 10 years now I know it k), what they need is LR2 bms showcase.

This Stepmania run is still perfect though.

Re: Guys, I got StepMania into AGDQ!!

This is what happens when I'm friends with rhythm gamers on Facebook. I get people linking to posts like this saying it's how they feel:

And really, this post just entirely comes off as the usual rhythm gamer entitlement because their favourite game wasn't showcased instead.

Re: Guys, I got StepMania into AGDQ!!

The biggest thing that has been said as a point is:

If you thought that a different rhythm game such as IIDX or pop'n or LR2 or w/e should have been showcased, then you should have gotten someone to offer it up to AGDQ.

Games Done Quick is not done on an invite basis, but is completely voluntary, and you have to go through the process of putting up your segment and hoping that it goes through selection. Thinking that this is a "slap in the face" is pretty much disregarding all the work that Staiain did to A) get stepmania into AGDQ, B) travel all the way over to the US to showcase this, and C) the fact that there's literally no downside to the extra exposure that stepmania gets - it definitely doesn't negatively impact any other rhythm based game. I don't think we ever said once in the stream that stepmania was representative of all video games. I even introduced it as a "DDR Clone for the PC" not "the best rhythm game and only one that should have been showcased in AGDQ".

//minirant

seriously though, i hope that people who were complaining about not having a different rhythm game showcased, or that it "wasn't impressive compared to other games", then go use this as a platform. Staiain set a massive precedent, getting a fucking rhythm game into a speedrunning marathon. We all know it's possible, so instead of complaining and feeling insulted, choose to feel inspired. Also, who cares that you didn't think it was impressive. We raised over $10,000 dollars during our 30 minute segment, and the second highest viewcount of AGDQ history, right behind mario maker which was yesterday. And if you look at the graphs of viewer count, mario maker spiked at the beginning, then dwindled below 200k. stepmania literally climbed higher and higher throughout the whole entire segment.

Complaining about stepmania being showcased can be equated to complaining that 10,000 dollars were donated towards preventing cancer. take a step back and look at the bigger picture, won't you.

Re: Guys, I got StepMania into AGDQ!!

motherfuckers will start drama about anything. try to get a showcase if you're that butthurt. probably best not to spread this stuff around, i'm sure people would love to fuel this fire more than it needs

edit: ninja'd but yeah what yoshl said

also lol@those iidx retards complaining. IIDX showcase would be much more boring (I played it for more than 10 years now I know it k), what they need is LR2 bms showcase.

weren't you one of the top 14k players at one point?
lr2 showcase would be sick. at some point it'd be totally incomprehensible tho lol
