GuitarFreaks11th/Drummania10th unfair?

Megamanny · 02-25-2007, 05:29 PM

So, I've been comparing GF11/DM10 to all the other mixes currently available.

And it appears that if you have GF11/DM10 you pretty much got jipped? Because a good amount of all the revivals are accessible only through e-amuse where as the others are already unlocked save for a few new songs and revivals as well?

Or maybe its just me....

It's not just you.

DM10 without e-amuse gets real boring real quick. The old songs available are either too easy or too hard which makes it a pain in the ass for intermediate players like me. It can't be upgraded without a hard-to-find hardware update and no arcade would bother downgrading it.

I dunno, I mean yes it is stupid that Konami made all that stuff e-amuse only, but I think the default songlist has good choices overall. But then the arcade I go to that has GF11DM10, I only go to once a week or so, so I don't really get bored of it.

And it does have Super Shomin Car, hahaha

yeah, I think it's a pretty crappy mix. i can usually only play about five bucks in a DM10 before i get bored.

It was the first mix I played.. so I love it. The pink it just so attractive...

AdamW · 02-26-2007, 02:14 PM

first mix i played too, but i still don't like it :P

The nostalgia!! The nostalgia!!

I think 11/10th was the first time I saw a different Guitar Freaks Arcade machine, and I always assumed V3 was probaby the only thing I'd see (it held true for a couple months), so I was actually delighted to play with it. I've got a good impression of it here. It did seem like a stripped apart version of V3, but that didn't stop me from going "OMG Cool! They've got this song, and this song on here too!"

We have a GF11th at our local arcade sitting by the GF/DMV linkage. Even though it costs half the tokens to play, I never touch it.. but I'd still say that it's my favorite "theme" out of all the mixes so far. The music, the pink, the creepy guy from "Get It All" pointing at everything.. I love it.

GF11/DM10 is great solely because Ono did the system music.

aeriyu · 02-26-2007, 07:26 PM

I have to agree with checkrox there -- including the 11/10 theme had to be one of the better decisions Konami made w/ regards to their CS versions

Strangely enough, one of the arcades in Vancouver has three different types of mixes (11/10, V2, V3), all of which are session-enable... EXCEPT V3! ARRGH!

AdamW · 02-27-2007, 03:28 AM

i keep telling them to swap the V2 and V3 over, maybe one day they'll listen to me.

Xythar · 02-27-2007, 07:04 AM

If it has all the songs from DM 9th on it then that'd be good enough right there... that's one of my favourite mixes. I don't understand why it'd be boring, half the time on V3 I just play stuff from the 9th/10th folder anyway because I've played the Vs to death already.

Actually, I'd love for our arcade's second machine (an 8th) to be upgraded to 10th because I'm getting awfully sick of 8th. But I think it needs new hardware so I doubt that's ever going to happen.

DizzyBum · 02-27-2007, 09:43 AM

The arcade in the nearby mall has DM10th. Aside from the fact that the new songs are for the most part very boring, there aren't too many good old songs to play, aside from the Lv90+ stuff that's been around for five mixes or so. And some of the best songs are locked away forever in E-amuse. I had tons of fun with their 9th when they had it, but 10th got old fast.

Also doesn't help that the machine's snare and cymbal are pretty much shot -- the cymbal is completely dead (with a nice post-it informing you to play on Auto-Cymbal), and the snare won't register unless you use a heavy stick or bang it really hard. Sigh.

Kei.SG · 02-27-2007, 09:44 AM

I don't recall 10th needing new hardware...only from V onwards...

And well...I still find 10th fun...it's got Kago, Ukifune, and the likes...and it's 5 minutes from my home...compared to V3 with e-amuse, which is like 20 minutes but takes forever to get to your turn thanks to the long queue...
