Re: So apparently people are mad that Stepmania was on AGDQ
Yeah, I pretty much concur with just about all of your points, Arch. If any rhythm game by Bemani is to be popular, that's in the hands of Konami, and their business decisions haven't been all that great lately.
Re: So apparently people are mad that Stepmania was on AGDQ
Wow, I had no idea the IIDX community was so bad. I guess I've just missed that side of things all these years I've been playing it. Then again, I think the only "community" I interacted with was on the Outphase forums, which is super small.
Re: So apparently people are mad that Stepmania was on AGDQ
See, the thing is I actually really like IIDX. Like I just received my order of 7th Style in the mail yesterday.
But damn, if SM doesn't have it beat in all the areas that matter--especially for newer players. To be blunt, I probably wouldn't be playing IIDX if it wasn't for SM even though I had heard about it before coming here to FFR. Still, I don't let the fact take away from my enjoyment of IIDX and neither should anyone else.
and I FOR DAMN SURE don't let my enjoyment take away from the sweetness that was Staiain ripping those charts up. I think that is the most tragic part in all this: You can basically claim that the man made thousands of dollars that go to save fucking lives just with the power of spread alone and we are barely talking about that.

well you have to look at the reasons why each one does it otherwise it's an appeal to false middle
I've been somewhat involved in nearly every major rhythm game community except osumania -- ddr, iidx, itg, pump, guitar hero, o2jam, djmax, pop'n -- they're all fine with the exception of IIDX and Ohio/Midwest DDR purists (who are possibly even worse but that's a separate rant)
Re: So apparently people are mad that Stepmania was on AGDQ
please enlighten me about ohio/midwest ddr+itg purists I want to hear more about that or at least the pointed in the correct direction to find out more about that

just imagine astronomy before the copernican revolution but replace astronomy with music games and the earth with ddr/konami
Re: So apparently people are mad that Stepmania was on AGDQ
it's like on top of really cold weather, rarity of good food, fucking up national elections and annoyingly good football teams, you have the most obnoxious ddr purists who dragged their feet harder about the competitive scene's bar usage than alabama about interracial marriage
it's like there's a hyperbolic time chamber at cedar point where everyone enters to spend 2 years becoming the most annoying people you've ever met
