The guy is obviously a hater.

I do find it extremely amusing that he is worried about the little kids though. Sexy Planet and Insertion are vulgar nono.gif. Little kids can't see that. Yet he is mad because witchdoctor is in the game. So bad stuff is bad for little kids, but stuff meant for little kids, stupid ass songs like witch doctor, are bad as well? I LOVE CONTRADICTIONS!

It's called main-stream. This guy has clearly never heard of Bemani before.

Hmm... Insertion has the woman moaning sexually in the middle of the song.

1/10 replay value huh? If that is true, would we all be here posting and playing DDR like every week?

Hm, this person seriously never tried out the other modes, which makes the game much more interesting than just arrows going up the screen.

Quote:
I select a song, and arrows move. I then press the arrow with my foot. This monotonous gameplay gets very old very fast, and nothing is done to spice it up. The most exciting function in gameplay is where you must jump to hit two arrows at the same time.


It is just combinations of arrows that makes it interesing.

Quote:
Not only that, but you humiliate yourself in front of the whole arcade.


I don't care, it is fun. Besides, you lose yourself while playing.

Quote:
Songs feature a remix of the classic song ''Witchdoctor'', the most annoying song in existence. However, even that is overpowered by the song ''Freckles'' which is downright scary, featuring the lyrics, ''I want to knock them down the stairs.'' Several of the songs have hidden groanings and gruntings that should not be heard by children. Songs like ''Sexy Planet'' and ''Insertion'' are not fit for children who would walk around the arcade.


Okay, what topic do you want the songs to be about? Being a white rapper? I find the song Witch Doctor really cute and catchy!

Quote:
Part of this is the other player's fault. Since there is only room for 1 set of people on the dancing stage at a time, everyone has to take turns. This catastrophe of a setup leads to people putting quarters on the machine face while waiting for you to lose. They then take the machine after you die, and you will not get it back for another 10 minutes, if 1 or 2 people go. Sometimes, it's more, sometimes it's less. But waiting to play a game that lasts 30 seconds (for you) is not amusing, and not fun at all. This game falters heavily in that


If this game is so lame, like you say, why will there be a line of people?

Quote:
This game is alright the first couple of times. For reviewing purposes, I played the game through several times, playing at least 25 songs and watching at least 20 people play. However, if I wasn’t the reviewer, I would have not attempted to go on a stage and flail my feet around. Great, I can step on an arrow, how about 2 in a row? It seems easy, but it is quite difficult, and losing in front of a crowd is no fun. In short, this game isn't even worth a shot, you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere.


Again, it is the combinations of arrows that makes it fun, not just because you can step on them 2 at a time. What about many more arrows? What about many arrows right smack-dab next to each other that will be a challenge for you to read them? What about getting all the arrows on perfects and get a really neat score and have people cheer?

This guy obviously have not played DDR to the MAX yet.

I find this funny because (Kinda in correlation to the subject)

There was another thread made about someone hating on DDR

http://www.ddrfreak.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=66004

and well all I have to say about that review doesnt change for me in this thread.

"Let the man think what he wants" Nothing is going to change that obviously from the things that have been said from this, and well...let the man say his words."

Because honestly I dont think that his opinion is going to stop the millions of players worldwide.

I think this guy's problem with the game is that he never found any of the good songs. Despite the fact that he went through 25 songs (or so he claims). But his main problem is that he can't handle losing in front of people. Everybody loses once and a while and it's not always fun. Live with it!

If you think that's bad check this review out

http://www.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/review/R54160.html

He says that Extreme is by far not the best mix despite the fact that he admits that he admits it has the biggest song list.

I think the hilarious thing is that on the main review page, he lists the game as having 'seven arrows'. If the red flag wasn't up by then... laugh.gif

I see these kinda people in my arcade all the time. I usually watch them for a minute, then kick them out. E1.gif The only difference between this guy and the ones in my arcade, is that this one has a keyboard and free time to doggy about stuff he did not and cannot understand.

The most amusing thing to me is that he thinks the game is bad for little children because of some explicit female noises...... Yes, and we all know that all of the other games in arcades have nothing explicit at all in them.... this is one of those people who thinks sex is bad, but violence isn't. Should we not let kids hear Herbal Essences commercials, either? or listen to umm.... any popular music on the radio? (So much music now is about sex. It's retarded, but that's not the topic.)

Man, if I were gonna go by this guy's logic, then I wouldn't let little kids in an arcade at all. ever. WHY? Racing Games lead to street racing! Fighting games lead to fighting! Shooting games lead to gun violence! DDR leads to sex!(Yeah right, I wish). And what about those ticket games kids play all the time? HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE SIN THAT IS GAMBLING!

Some people need to lighten up. That guy is one of them. Stupid Joe Lieberman wanna-be. :-P

MORE LIKE LIMP-WRISTED REVOLUTION. Yeah, I really care about some song about a RETARDED BUTTERFLY that sings like it's on HELIUM and someone is FINGERING IT.

if you are the kind of BRAIN-DEAD JIZZQUAFFER who likes to DANCE and be GAY in FRILLY UNDERTHINGS while listening to MUSIC THAT IS ALL PROBABLY ABOUT PENISES, then you will probably like DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION, and you will certainly also like MEETING OTHER GAY MEN FOR ANONYMOUS SEX IN BATHROOMS. In Japan.


hahaha.... at least in that review the guy is kinda funny.....

Actually, it says "JSP", but it could very well be JSB cause he's funny as anything and that sounds like something he would do. :-P
