Things I hate when i introduce a noob to beatmania

[m335h73r of PBJ]

I like how music gamers think that there are enough music games, and bash all new ones being released as if they were the next madden installment.

Heh

You gotta love being amused at various peoples' perceptions on music games.

They range from intelligent and commonsensical up to idiotic and one-sided.

Indeed

You gotta love the power of perception

Well I have good and bad news.
I brought IIDX to school and played it cause we have a certain program cause we can. but anyway

Good thing:
Some of the people really liked it they said yes it was hard but it was quite new and interesting and would wanna play again

Bad thing:
Fags like to be fags and say. I like guitar hero more cause there are less buttons cause this is too hard. and then someone said while i was playing of all things. "Be like a normal person and play guitar hero."

Ok I'm glad at the cool people who were interesting who were the ones who barely play guitar hero. but those people who had said that to me got me a bit angry. It was so retarded to say that acting like they know anything. I will admit there is the great different genre's and I admit they can be compared to a certain level. but when people try to spit out the words "rip off." or "normal person would..." then that really gets on my nerves.

Yeah man, I bet that sucks about those people, but it is cool that some were interested. I guess like I said, some people are never willing to open their eyes to the world around them. These people are unlikely to change so accept it and try not to be angry with them, I am sure that they like stuff which we think is bollocks... each to their own!

[Stepfreak101]

Yes I am very glad people were interested sadly only like 3 people. Two or more people were like Play guitar hero or its better. and just half of the people stood there trying to talk about how good i was. (Im not that good it just seems that way to them.)

What?

What!?

WHAT!?

AHHAHAHAHAAH.


In all seriousness, "GH RIPOFF" is far less frequently used around my area, since nobody really plays rhythm games except the Asians at the Arcade (I swear, I saw a completely gothic guy, not even asian, in the arcade playing Murmur Twins on Drummania, he had painted pale skin, eyeliner, black lips, S&M style clothes, goddamn, he was scary looking to say the least)

So the most annoying thing about introducing new people is how they whore out songs ALL. THE. TIME.

At first when I got my sister into it, she would whore out the tutorial song on GOLD, now she plays nothing but WELCOME [n].

My cousin is still whoring out the GOLD Tutorial song.

And my mate Tim, 5.1.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.1

everyone i've shown IIDX to thought it looked really hard and thought the music was amazing.

At the arcade, you only really have to play Snow Storm to win a crowd over to the music.

Snow Storm is outstanding and there is so much to it, the repitition is minimal.

Regrettably, I cannot tolerate playing a full length song in Guitar Hero/Rock Band. .. Have you TRIED Paranoid on Drums? It is fascinating how boring it is. Redundant. The Dragonforce song is almost 8 minutes but the variation is fantastic so that is an exception.

Oh if anyone even says the words GUITAR HERO you can just play "I am beatmania! you are whatmania?" to shut them up

lol if we're talking about videos.

"How do you enter a rainbow?"

Lol how do you go to heaven.

Those videos make me laugh.

Anyway those people who love beatmania make me feel so much better than the people who don't. Infact when one of my friends remembered one of the songs it made me happy that he liked the kind of music. I will bring it again to a new group on Friday and see how it goes. If anybody just spurs the word guitar hero in a negative way towards beatmania or me I'll know who to take my anger out on.

Remember IIDX FTW
people who actually try it and like it are awesome in my book.

It has a sort of socio-political theme into it.

That's one reason why it's one of my fave Akira Yamaoka songs (apart from his trance music songs).

Lolz

Is that really a reference to Second Heaven?

Whoa

I never knew that (as I never ever focused much on the BG video).

Now that you mentioned it, I guess I better check it out for myself.

Damn, you gotta love them engrish quotes

Karaoke Revolution is a ripoff of American Idol the game.
