Beatmania is a shitty, boring game. That's why>>231621is completely unrealistic.
>> Kinako
>>231655

That's true. I couldn't even figure it out.
>> Z3r02007
>>231657

I figured it out, to some degree...

I couldn't pick up any sense of rhythm. I didn't know which sounds I should be following. It's the same with DDR, for me. It all seems random, and there is real pattern at all.

Guitar Hero, Elite beat Agents, games like those, however, actually have some rhythm one can follow.

My point exactly! Thank you! I've been playing fighting games in arcades since Street Fighter II!

There are a few pics of girls playing on consoles, but almost none of games playing at arcades (the only pic I have about that is the same as OP).

You guys must suck at Beatmania IIDX then. Learn how to play before bashing it.

I tried it but didn't like it (not too fond of music games anyway); the only music game I ever found entertaining was Drummania... and anyway most of the tokens I spend at the arcade go to lightgun games, shmups and bullshit-novelty-games (there was an excavator sim at the arcade, so repetitive yet so fun...).

Faggot troll with a faggot name who probably played IIDX once on 7 key and had his elite gamer pride shattered so badly he never played again.

Reasonable opinions. Getting a sense of rhythm in IIDX is harder since the notes often follow minor beats you don't even pay attention to (Another charts often follow most beats in a song) making it get rediciously complex very fast. Also it is a more abstract feeling hitting keys with your fingers rather then moving your feet or hitting drums, so it takes a while to "train your hands" to react automatically to notes.

Also if you want to see what I mean by "training your hands to react automatically to keys" look at the 2p side of this video (in the background)

He is playing a 400bpm song at 5x speed, there is no fucking way you can even think at that speed.

Ok, now we've just reached a difference of opinion. If you believe DDR has no rhythm, you are sorely mistaking.

I'd give it a second chance, but the only arcade in town went out of business. >_<

First I'm a troll, then I have a reasonable opinion? Geez, make up your mind. :P

Anyhow, I kinda see where you're coming from. I'm sure there is a sense of rhythm to Beatmania and DDR. I've played both games multiple times in the past. I used songs I was familiar with to see if I could pick up a rhythm. Problem was, I couldn't.

I think it comes from my main problem with both series. I don't feel like I'm part of the music. The music doesn't change or anything depending on my performance. I just feel like I'm pressing button to visual cues, nothing more. I enjoy game like Elite Beat Agents and Guitar Hero because they make me part of the experience. I feel like I am playing a guitar and I feel like I'm dancing because I command the music, not the other way around. Plus, the games actually punish you for doing poorly. If I miss a note in Guitar Hero, the music changes, and a sour note plays. Elite Beat Agents... well, that game is just plain brutal.

Look, if anyone enjoys the series, I have nothing against them. If you can enjoy the games, by all means, be my guest. Beatmania and DDR just aren't my particular cup of tea.

There are girls at the arcades,and not only playing DDR. There's a girl in my town that's kickass at KOF 2002.

People that say that girls don't play at arcades must be from USA, where no one plays at the arcades anyways.

Sorry, but Guitar Hero (and all music games) are based off of IIDX. I don't care that you like Guitar Hero more, but IIDX DOES have sounds that react to your key presses. That's what the whole game is, playing the music notes. It just isn't limited to one instrument like Guitar Hero, but instead takes over the percussion, bass, and whatever else the song has.

to all who posted the pics in this thread: you all fail for not sticking to the topic. now, i'm ready to get banned once i say this to all of you: YOU AMERICAN VIDEO GAMERS ARE NOTING BUT CHEAPASS (you just want to buy console, handheld and pc games so that you can't spend more cents just to play arcade games) AND LAZY (you'll just sit on the couch on your home so that you can't go to the arcades anymore) PUTAS!!! i'm not saying that you quit now on playing console, handheld and pc games but you should remember and stick it to your fucking brains that video gaming was started from the arcades so you better have a respect on it. but if anyone of you still playing arcade games and loving it, i salute you.

People who generalizes the Beatmania as bad or crap: Beatmania is not your cup of tea. Do u guys even have a clue how fuckin long does other people train to get used to that game just like fighting games? That's not even manly for you guys have the right to say boring just because you can't get into it, that's just being plain pussy. In the music game community it's serious business.

Anyone here plays doubles in IIDX?

Pulling off an IK or some insane super move is satisfying and produces many lulz.

Pulling off a perfect score in IIDX/Beatmania only proves you lead a sad pathetic existence.

Then again, we post on 4chan. All our existences are sad and pathetic.

Doubles is hard =\ I can only do like some 4 stars...

Nobody ever gets perfects scores on IIDX...ever. It's nearly impossible.

but in DJMax you can actually get a perfect score unless it's easy. The timing windows is much easier than IIDX.

There is no way you can objectivly say that IIDX had a bad music selection compared to other rhythm games. It's selection is seriously *huge* in the arcade cabinets, spanning over 14 incarnations with the game getting better every time.

It's been a rhythm game longer then any other, the entire genre seriously wouldn't exist without it.
