Post Your Controversial Bemani Opinions

Nah. OG PARANOiA is actually really good.

Then there's two Dirty Mixes, Rebirth and Evolution, which are almost the same song, but with a bunch of extra garbage samples and filters tossed in all over the place.

I feel the same way with Trip Machine honestly.. All the same crap.

Besides Phoenix.. thats a good one.

i don't know if it's really controversial, but:

NEWSPAPER (Vocal Ver.) >>>>>> NEWSPAPER
They made the right choice adding the vocals to it and scrapping the original

- Stealth is low-key the best mod in DDR. Memorizing entire charts is a skill that is not incentivized nearly as much as it should be.

- A lot of competitive DDR/ITG content is pretty boring to watch nowadays. Most score posts on social media have gotten old and repetitive too.

- official charts > custom charts

The flood of anime girls on my timeline makes me pine for the days of score posts I don't give a fuck about, ngl

---

I got your back man

---

that's somehow even worse because that song is fucking terrible

---

Sorry I can only pass certain hard songs right now because I got fat.

---

If we're talking about the chart, sure, but Konoko SLAPS as a song.

---

For like 17 seconds at the end when the dude stops mumbling and is just belting that shit out, sure. I like the chart, I don't care what anyone else's opinion on it is.

---

it do not slap. in any form. in fact, the song's rather insufferable to sit through in any game it's in. especially in ddr after they fucked with the cut. no thanks.

---

idk if this is even an unpopular opinion that matters but the IIDX menu UI is absolutely terrible, and being the only Bemani game that doesn't use unique graphics for each song it really makes it unpleasant to look at and navigate.

---

Yeah, the IIDX UI is sensory overload. Not a fan of it, despite how IIDX usually gets some of the coolest themes in Bemani.

---

I feel like IIDX's UI is overcomplicated to the point where it must be deliberately done. It's so poorly signposted that I'm convinced they think the game isn't SUPPOSED to be played by the regular public.

---

Is the UI really that bad, though? I get that it used to be a little obtuse, especially for new players selecting songs with nothing more than song titles and odd genre names to go off of, but to me, the most recent mixes feel really tidy--a song title, a preview, and the difficulties are really all you need. I get that the options menus are... involved, but the 'default' menu is pretty simplified, and I don't imagine the menus beyond that are particularly useful for new players anyway. (I mean, a new player trying to find hi-speed options might have a hard time, sure.)

Or maybe I'm just full of it. But I do know that my not-particularly-weeby husband has an easier time navigating through IIDX than he does DJMAX Respect (which, admittedly, is kind of weird) and it's certainly easier for him than pop'n, but maybe that's just a language barrier thing.

I dunno, the IIDX UIs are just cool.

I mean, have we seen SDVX UI? Barely anything there is explained and what it does..

---

I'm back for more

The concept of unlocking songs in rhythm games is archaic and should have been dropped long ago

IIDX characters > pop'n characters

The question of "are charts getting too hard?" focuses too much on the difficulty levels and not enough on complex patterns showing up more in lower difficulty songs - having recently gotten into Arcaea, I've certainly noticed the latter

---

The aesthetic of SDVX is in the top two reasons I don't give a fuck about it, so.

---

What you mean? It's explained perfectly well how to play on the Eamuse Website. In Exceeding detail too (in your favorite language)
