Most recent DDR players are spoiled- bottom line.

DDRGuyRazor

I remember playing the old a$$ DDR versions. He didn't have any of this 1x, 2x, 5x, BS- there was no Groove Meter, and if you think you're gonna get somewhat trippy, though still cool FMV sequences for the background, you're kidding yourself.

Let's not forget about Basic, Trick and Maniac- you couldn't just tap "down, down" on the pad, OH NO. You had to put in some long-a$$ code on the pad like "up, down, up, down, left, right...etc.." And if you didn't know the code to cancel out whatever you entered before, you were stuck playing that song with the mods you entered.

And the songs, alothough very good- there just weren't enough of them. Screw this Max 2 and Extreme 200-300 song list crap. In the old DDR's, you had about 8-12 songs, if you were lucky.

And don't forget the framerate of the original arrows- you had to guess when the lines would match up.

So, whenever you feel like complaining about how much the newest Max or Ex sucks cause it doesn't have Oni/Challenge mode or whatever, close your mouth, you spoiled brat- you don't know how good you've got it.

And your point is that you are better than me because I just started playing last year?

Uh, uh- that's not what I mean. I'm just saying that "back in the day"

although it was still fun, DDR'ers didn't have the luxuries that a lot of others did in 5th mix and the Max series- so if someone NEEDS to complain about how X- version sucks so much cause it's missing X-feature, they really should shut their mouths, cause it could be worse.

Yes, we newbies are quite spoiled

I couldn't agree with you more. Man, I have a tough time playing on those older versions.

Indeed. These shmucks have it easy.

Remember trying to learn things like Ninzaburo, orion.78 (AM-euro), and Romancu no Kami-Sama without speed mods and/or solo? And if you even thought about using a mod back then, it made you seem awesome, because they only made the song harder.

Man, some of you don't know how good you have it!

Why does everyone think mods are there solely to make a song easier? Don't forget there are mods like FLAT and X3,X4,and X5.

And yes,we may have it easier,but not all of us can be considered newbies just because we didn't grow up on Korean or 5th Mix. And the"Tap down down" thing..its called CONVENIENCE. I've gotten a few chances to play on older machines,and I see no difference so long as you know the right codes to change difficulty. Different backgrounds?So? And guess what..the arrows are still there.

Anything more to say about our new "a$$" machines or attitudes?

Yes, I just remembered the pranksters that would often come in and dump about 38 mods on you right before you picked your song, and on the older mixes, you couldn't just hold the start button to conveniently access a menu and remove everything. Instead, you were stuck with whatever mods were crapped on you.

And about your attitude, you're sounding a little miffed. Get yourself a Pepsi and relax or something.

i do think that the poster came a little strong but i started out with the original the year it came out [can't remember exactly when] and i struggled on it and was determined. Then after getting use to the original and then skipping konamix i went straight to max.... That version was like heaven from going from that original.... you guys are let me quote my self "lucky"

It's not like people who played 1-4 mixes can't play 5-8 mixes. Everythings starts out of decent quality and improves, just like the mixes. They are not worse or better they are just DDR 1.0, not we are at DDR 8.Xtreme and it will just continue to get better. In the future we will complain about how we used to have to hit down down to get to a mod. Now adays we can just mentally choose our mods and songs.

I think alot of you are missing the point that he was trying to make. He's not saying that the new mixes suck or that he hates the new mods or thinggs they changed. What he is saying is the he hates people who bi+ch and moan about nit-picky things. Sure it may be better, but how many things are worth forming a petition to get X little unimportant feature in Y mix. For those who care, the mix that I started on and had a good deal of my DDR experience on was DDR USA arcade mix. I for one am glad for certain features such as better framerate (blew me away first time i played on it), massive songlists, easy modifier entry and so on. I'm not afraid to use speed mods, nor do I scorn those that do. But just to reiterate, all he is basicly saying is that he hates people who try to raise an alarm over little, largely unimportant flaws.

Moral of the story:
Just don't get your panties in a bunch.

I think hes trying to say that "back in the day" it was pretty hard to actualy do good, i tried first mix it was so hard to get the notes right, its like if ur a second off ur screwed. But i also do think noobies think their all that do to the fact that they think your weird that ur a vitrin and can bust all the things that you can do but when they go on and fuk off they say itleast i have a life unlike you..its just dissrespectfull

I've been playing for bout 4 years or so, it isnt that much but its a long time to most people. I picked up a lot of things, but i never dissed the ppl who were better then me, i must have spent like over 1000$ in aracades and stuff just to get where i am.

When you look at other things everyone gets more spoiled, look at life for example, we never had the luxuries when we were lil, no comps and stuff but now look at these kids wearing their baggy clotehs wit their bling blings and acting all cocky. Its just how it is and it will keep getting worst.

OHH NOO!!!

I've been playing almost 2 years and people who started after me are better.. QUICK! I need an excuse! is it cuz i'm white? No.. Stupid? No...

I KNOW! I'll blame the Updated Versions of DDR and the newcomers who play them!

I'd rather listen to an idiot Bash DDR than you Put down newcomers, DDR is dieing in most places, the more it grows the better!!!
