No love for Pump It Up?

[sworddestroyer]

PIU owns DDR bcuz:


- Harder


- Better music


- Banya >>> then um... what was it... Naoki?


- 5 >4


-Background movies that arent crap


- More songs


-More classical remixes


- No obno guy going 'Oh yeah' or 'You got em' in the middle of your songs










PIU did NOT copy DDR. There was a 3 month difference. PIU just got screwed byDDR going to America first.

I'm more into DDR and PIU:ITG. I just can't get used to the 5 panel setup; gotta love those 4 panels. Quints in strange positions don't appeal to me. PIU's song selection sucks as well; went through all the songs, only found about 2 I liked. Never played the thing again.

PIU:ITG is better than DDR though. Sexier songs, sexier difficulty, sexier graphics, sexier pads, sexier machine. ITG = sexererer than DDR.

i hate when people call itg 2 "pump it up: itg 2," it makes me wonder why andamiro made roxor cabinets in the 1st place, and you cant really say that piu has a bad song selection because there is such a wide variety of music unlike itg which is pure electronica and ddr which is either a variation of maxx or some cheesy englrish(mix of japanese//english music, often japanese with some english words)

[nforcer06164]

Okay, DomDom, I didn't want to get into anything here, but you've crossed the line. I don't take kindly to people that shoot off their mouths and fling insulting remarks when they don't even know what they're talking about.

1. The official name for ITG2 is "Pump It Up: In the Groove 2". God forbid somebody calls it by it's real name. Most people still call it ITG2.

2. Andamiro is making money by making the cabinets for Roxor. Andamiro gets to put their name and series on the game. Andamiro gets to take business away from Konami and make it their own profit. Now why would Andamiro make cabinets for Roxor?

3. The ITG series has as wide a song selection as PIU. YOUR problem is that you fail to realize that the most danceable tunes are genres related to DANCE, which includes electronica. Some ITG songs are NOT related to electronica; however, they're very much underplayed. I wonder why....

4. DDR has A LOT more variety than just "some version of maxx", because the Max series did not appear until 6th Mix.

5. We know what "englrish" is, except there's no "l". And you, my friend, are wrong. "Engrish" is the common misuse of the English language by the Japanese. What you are thinking of is J-Pop, which is quite plainly Japanese pop music, which is quite far from "Engrish."

I hope you've learned, DomDom, that shooting off your mouth like that will have you end up eating your words. Posting your opinions is fine, but don't post your opinions so arrogantly. Also, make sure you really know what you're talking about before you say it.

Wow this topic is old.

But yeah PIU still rules the end.

[Ahijado]

Pump, in my opinion, is better than didder...
Exceed 2 is great, my current lineup is hibi (hard, x2), winter (hard), get up! (hard, x2), fiesta (crazy, x3)

if anyone lives at georgia state and would like to play, talk to me

[Demon_Of_The_Comet]

I've never played PIU, i've been hooked on IIDX as of late. Is it played on pad? I remember some guy playin Pop'n on vid. XD

[Moogy]

Of course it's pad. It's a dancing game.

[Risq]

Of course it's pad. It's a dancing game.

Para Para Paradise is a dancing game and it's not pad.

[Moogy]

your a genius

Re: No love for Pump It Up?

PIU certainly has some advantages over DDR and the 4-step concept. The song list is much larger (100+! for console) and has real unique videos, compared to the trademark star characters of every single mix. They also include letting you watch and listen their soundtrack once you finish the particular song (finally) and enjoy the music. What they need to modify, though, is the Home Mode. It feels just like Arcade Mode, but without a life bar. No removing notes, no adding beat or metronome, no tempo changes, unlike ITG. One of the few things that really separate PIU from DDR and ITG and other dance games is PIU having more Korean and pop music (and a lot of classical) over Japanese. Not necessarily bad, but it's a change from the more mainstream DDR. I'd say, get PIU because they sell it at GameStop for $29.99 with pad compared to the usually more expensive DDR.

[Dragula219]

Re: No love for Pump It Up?

Where I live it's all about Pump.

There is no DDR machine in our only arcade, Only PIU and ITG. And Nobody is ever on ITG.

PIU has so many more step patterns where you can't look at the screen unless you double step, making it more difficult and better for free-styling.

Re: No love for Pump It Up?

I really like PIU.DDR players are nothing compared to PIU players.People who start playaing pump it up before ddr will later be able to pwn ddr.Pump it up has better songs.And they sound so good that it makes you want to put the songs in your mp3 player.Its all about Pump it up!!!
