Why ITG is stupid.

[Nezeru]

After having skimmed this thread (I admit to not currently having the time to examine every post), I have yet to see a convincing argument regarding why ITG is stupid. Seriously, you picked Sunshine Expert? Do you honestly expect someone to make an expert chart using only the rhythms provided by the vocals?

If you want to make the claim that ITG is stupid because of its stepcharts, here are a few prime examples.

1. Lipstick Kiss Expert. Not much needs to be said here, it's just a terrible chart.
2. Sunshine Hard. This chart is completely retarded. Every step goes with something, but that doesn't mean that it makes sense.
3. Determinator Expert. Lots of people will disagree, but the 24ths are unnecessary.
4. Go 60 Go Expert. I actually like this, but the teal notes don't go with the music.
5. Disconnected Disco, all difficulties. This is just a godawful song, and the charts aren't much better.
6. VerTex^2.

Now, with that being said, I still claim that ITG is vastly superior to DDR. Reasons:

1. There are more modifiers and more courses. ITG has far better stepcharts, better music, a far superior screen (don't even get me started on how much SuperNOVA sucks, just look at the capitalization in the name) and a better machine in general.
2. DDR stepcharts are all predictable and have almost no difficulty to them at all. ITG at least provides a challenge to everyone. You may not like some songs, but you can't argue that ITG isn't harder than DDR.
3. ITG allows you to continue playing a song after you fail. This is perhaps the nicest improvement over DDR.
4. ITG is newer and fresher. DDR has been out for years. ITG provided innovation when Konami was lacking. On second thought, Konami has always been lacking in innovation.

That's all I have time to say for now, but I'll probably revisit this thread in the near future.

EDIT - Response to Lamoc: A lot of songs that have low BPMs are difficult. Robotix does not take skill, it's probably the easiest 11 in all of ITG. VerTex is probably the easiest 12. Just because the BPM changes and the maximum value for BPM is high does not make a song difficult. Euphoria and Bloodrush both have less than 160 BPM and are among the hardest five songs in ITG.
