Time for my two cents, I guess? O: Probably nothing you haven't heard or seen before, but here's another opinion on an X machine in the MI area. :] Just for future reference, I guess. I went out to the GameWorks an hour or so away from here today, and tried X. Just, y'know, to see if it was THAT BAD.
It wasn't. I don't think I'll be playing it more than the Extreme and SuperNOVA and PIU machines there, but it was playable. I don't get stellar grades consistantly, but getting Ds all the time was kind of not cool. The lag was there, but I got used to it. The problem is that it was there in the first place, but....
The pads....Eh. They were okay, I guess. Since June.H described the pads as "Relatively working", I'd say that's what we have over here, too. The only times they really were just terrible was on a series of really fast notes, and on freezes. Oooh, boy, those freezes. >_> I had to stand on one foot and put all my weight on the arrow to get it to hold. Now, I'm a pretty tiny girl, but even the local Extreme, with pads that've seen better days, register the notes better than that.
On the nitpicky side, the cab was kinda...plain to me. Is it just me? I was looking forwards to all those LED lights. But the screen is nice and big. :3 The machine was loud enough for me to hear [and there's a PIU right next to it], so that was good. But, um, the arrows [the pictures of up, down, left, right] seemed to be..moving if I hit them the right way. That kinda frightened me. This was the only time I've felt like I was going to break a machine, and a 105 or less lb girl should -not- be worried about that. ._.
It's a shame. =/ I really loved the songlist, I found a few new songs I enjoyed in my two-game [3 stages each] run...But beacause of the pads, I don't think I'd spend a lot of my money on it when there's a PIU, Extreme, AND a SuperNOVA in pretty good condition just a few steps away. I shouldn't have to pay more for a machine that preforms like an old one. I'd give it somewhere around a 3/5....Great game, bad machine. </3 so sad.
The e-amuse slots got me stoaked. I'd probably play it once or twice more when [if? >>] that gets up and running.
It's cool that it looks like the problems are getting fixed though. :]
