So apparently people are mad that Stepmania was on AGDQ
Seems there are a slew of folks who think that it should have been IIDX or DDR representing the rich history of music games <.<
I don't see what the issue is, but how do you guys feel? I think the fact any music game was on there was pretty neat, but others are arguing that it doesn't help the Bemani community to show off a fan creation that thrives on pirated music. Thoughts? |

If they wanted a different rhythm game featured they should've done it themselves.

as in, they think something along these lines: "if someone who knew what music games existed could have contacted an AGDQ person to do a music game, well then of course they would have wanted IIDX on there, it's obviously the hardest." very few of them will be able to wrap their brains around the fact that it's equally difficult to be the best at SM despite its four key layout. they think that increasing the complexity of an activity = increasing how hard it is to be top-tier at that activity. so, seven keys and a wrist/elbow movement will necessarily be harder to them. while it's true that the *potential difficulty* is harder since peak note density is harder, but no one is at that point. as long as there's a skill ceiling for either game -- and there isn't -- winning will be extremely hard in both activities. but they will never understand this. their time investment in this community (and the fact that, for many people, their entire social circle is the community) means that they can't imagine IIDX *not* being the hardest (it isn't; BMS has harder 7k charts), the "highest quality" (this is an arbitrary goal as countless debates in SM have proven) -- whatever excuse or outright delusion they have to tell themselves to justify their money/time they will. it wouldn't be so frustrating if it weren't so clearly self-deluding. this is the same kind of thought process that keeps people from resistance training because weights are for 'meatheads', just applied to a single game and not an activity. it's ridiculous. |

Re: So apparently people are mad that Stepmania was on AGDQ
I keep hearing bemani and ddr...
I represent Taiko and I hereby declare nuclear war against StepMania. We will drop billions of cute Taiko don-chan faces all over your asses and totally break all of your keyboards when clearly all rhythm games should be played with gigantic drums and drumsticks. We will revolutionize rhythm gaming. Just you wait you caucistic chimpanzee nose sucking dickbutts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, in all honesty, rhythm games are rhythm games, Stepmania just happens to be the simplest one to perceive in my opinion. The only reason other communities suddenly show up and pull big machos is solely because everybody equally feels the need that their game should be shown off as much as Stepmania, when by nature, all they fail to understand is the simple fact that Stepmania is the most general rhythm game you can play. It overlaps with every single other rhythm in one or another element because it's a fucking rhythm game. Once people check more rhythm games they will get across games like IIDX; it's not like everybody who witnessed this is fucking blind and doesn't stomp upon other rhythm games because rhythm games are rhythm games and rhythm games all share similar properties. Isn't that right PEOPLE OF RHYTHM GAMING COMMUNITIES. I'm not even sure why some communities have gotten this isolated from each other, it really seems like everything around rhythm games is just a gigantic dick sucking contest where everybody from a community shares stereotypes about other rhythm games they think make their rhythm game superior. Isn't this almost borderline racism??! I really do not understand why specifically IIDX is being so fucking salty. The only explanation I can come up with is because there either persists a high level superiority complex among the IIDX community that makes it superior to StepMania where they think IIDX is like the best fucking thing ever and everything else is absolutely ass and needs to go suck cock, or their communities suck so much that they've become so jealous about the SM community having people like Staiain willing to actually PULL THIS OFF in the best possible way I could have imagined for the profit of actually not just making StepMania more popular but also other rhythm games. BECAUSE RHYTHM GAMES ARE RHYTHM GAMES RIGHT? It absolutely makes my balls boil. It's seriously as if everybody is in different sects and wants to kill each other once one of the inferior sects suddenly makes it to the top. |

Re: So apparently people are mad that Stepmania was on AGDQ
Well I am familiar with the IIDX community, and I understand that they may feel slighted at the fact that IIDX continues to remain as a niche/underground game, while thousands of people will now be familiarized with Stepmania. It may even lead some of the general public to mistakingly assume that Stepmania/DDR is the heart of rhythm gaming in general. I myself would not want that sort of misrepresentation. But as mentioned many times already, the IIDX community should take the initiative to represent the beatmania series by applying at AGDQ - and I encourage that, as well as other rhythm games.
It doesn't help that many members of the IIDX community are known to make incredibly distasteful posts on forums. This is especially prevalent when you ask a very opinion-oriented question...many are ready to assert their views as facts. I think MixMasterLar knows very well which specific community I have in mind. I'm willing to bet that some members were the same ones that were posting on 4chan glorifying IIDX.

- a proprietary game by a large corporation - that cannot adjust to changes in competitive play for risk of losing profit - that has the majority of its home versions playable only by owning a PS2, and only one on PC - that requires a significant dollar investment to play the majority of songs - that requires a significant dollar investment to play on a standard competitive device (i.e. an arcade controller) - that requires *even more* money to play its harder modes on a standard competitive device (double) - that is promoted almost exclusively in japan - that is culturally *extremely* japanese -- the text or layouts are not designed to make sense to anyone not from japan - that cannot be changed to make sense to people who are not this audience - with a community that is extremely antagonistic toward anything mainstream music game - and a community that allows no adaptability for promotion to new audiences - and a community that is actively antagonistic toward even custom charts yeah, IIDX being popular is never going to happen. you'd think IIDX players would realize this and not care. I never expected this to happen to Stepmania, because that's what any reasonable person would have told you. I'm still extremely skeptical that much will come of this popularity boost. yet the IIDX fanbase seems to think it could still be a mainstream game somehow; they have a sense of how esoteric and alienating their game is, but so many are dumbly deluded into this idea that normal people will just... think the way they do, by default. it's unreal how bad the audience awareness is in this crowd. but then, can you really expect anything else when the community doesn't engage other communities and they tend to be the kind of people whose entire circle of friends is also the same people who are in the community for the game? they're in a social bubble of people who have extremely poor social awareness to begin with. |
