Why ITG is stupid.

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

The arcade I go to the most often is Gattiland, and they only have an ITG machine (well, and Pump It Up, but you get my point), so I guess ITG has a special place in my heart. = 3

About the only thing I don't like about it is the life bar. You can own the song but still fail if you don't get past a certain stream or set of steps.

News flash, DDR Life bar is 4x more unforgiving then ITG Life Bar.

As for the syncing, DDR has better stepped songs, thats always been my opinion. Though they did add a lot of jumptacular files making some songs really retarded. ITG has it right when it comes to difficulty and innovation.

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

ITG stepcharts are random as hell in the hard levels. If you want a hard chart the actually follows something play HotN or like, Anubis.

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

I prefer DDR, but I still love ITG.
And One False move expert is awesome, follows the music perfectly.


I HATE Dawn expert, its easy, but I dont like where those hands are placed.

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

rel, if you listen carefully, those runs on Sunshine do follow the music. You're listening to the vocals and not the melody.

Every song on ITG has some kind of flow to it. If you don't think so, you're not listening to the right elements.

Unless the song is utopia in which case your ears aren't superhuman enough.

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

I hate utopia, the timing at that one part is incredibly stupid.

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

There are some beepy noises in the background of Utopia that allow for such a chart to be made without regret. Can't say I like it, but whatever, I just don't play Utopia.

On the Topic of Sunshine: I guess everyone has their preferences, but why the hate? ITG Expert steps rarely follow lyrical progression and focus more on instrumental melodies. The idea of most Expert charts is to take the quickest-moving melody of the music and put a step on each note. They took this to a new level in many parts of Vertex² when they mixed two melodies and stepped both at the same time.

EDIT: I almost forgot to point out. ITG was created in the DDR hiatus some time after DDR Extreme was released. At that time DDR was extremely popular and people were starting to AAA PSMO. The solution? Get some fans together and pop out something that much more difficult. Add an extra tighter timing window, up the maximum difficulties, and throw in some extra stuff too. That is what ITG was meant to be. Something fresh for people who'd already destroyed DDR.

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

Well for one thing.. I can pass Sunshine. I just wish people who said I can't would stop being blind or atleast take their head's out of their asses.

And another thing.. if the bursts in Sunshine were meant to follow the vocals, then why doesn't the girl sound like Satan?

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

How many times do I have to say that the bursts don't follow the vocals? Listen to the melody, damnit.

Re: Why ITG is stupid.

Most of ITG's steps are illogically hard or just paddable keyboard files.

It might be the fact that I haven't played a really up-to-date version of DDR, but I have yet to see an actual lifebar. Maybe you don't know what I mean.

Oh nevermind sorry!
I read your post wrong. XD
It's disorientating having to play steps when the mind is locked onto the vocals.

Go to the "Options Menu".
Select "Game Options", and switch the "Game Over" option to "End of Song".
You still fail the song, but it doesn't cut the music.
On the older games (MAX, MAX2, Extreme U.S) Enabling "Event Mode" allows you to select a song after you fail one.
