Wow that Kilroy sure did own you with them big word, Cutriss.

At least I think he did. I'm too dumb to understand them big words and logic.

I can't tell who you're making fun of. I could speculate using reason, but based off of evidence of your previous posts you hate speculation

If Konami were smart, they wouldn't kill ITG (or at least not yet). There are still many people who are loyal to that game and would still play it. If they use that to their advantage, then that would mean for money in the future for them.

A VCR is the product of technology, itself a product of the greatest achievements of the most biologically complex lifeforms on the planet. A rock is mundane, common. It's only potential value is to be melted down by human beings for the scarce elements in it, like gold or iron. It doesn't even neccessarily have those things in it. Gold can be used as a semiconductor in a VCR, sure, but even sand could be made into silicon for the circuitry in electronics. A VCR may be hollow but at least it has a purpose. What can a rock do by itself? Last a million years before becoming dirt? A VCR might be hollow, but it has value. It can take on a purpose. A rock has to be destroyed to fulfill its purpose, and not even because the rock has any value. Its because the rock gets in the way of what's valuable and constrains it within iself. A rock is a barrier to value, completely purposeless and with no redeeming value.

Is it a large enough number though that Konami would make a profit after their investment in the product, though? Because the arguments I've heard so far suggest that ITG players, as "hardcore" players, represent maybe 2% of the market.

You must be broken, as expected. VCR's don't last long and are being replaced(as if they haven't already) with newer technology that keeps growing smarter and able to understand more information, as you fail to do so. What I was trying to get across is that Cutriss, as a rock, has been around for a long time and knows what he's talking about because he has an understanding of how things work, while a VCR has only been around for a short amount of time and is already fading away, not living up to the capabilities of current technology.

Now we're arguing about VCRs and rocks of all things? Not to mention the incoherant mess that is the post above mine which is trying to capitalize off a cute simile made a few posts ago that has lost all novelty.

I'll feed the dying fire of discussion some rampant, unfounded speculation: I think, if anything, Konami's acquisition of the rights to In The Groove will allow new DDR games to capitalize on some of the innovative ideas from RoXoR that were likely not used until now because it would be very bad to be seen as drawing inspiration from what Konami considered an "inferior product." I somehow doubt we'll see any large increase in the number of Challenge charts in DDR games, and I doubt we'll see another release of In The Groove, part of DDR or no. However, I also don't think Konami would let a pile of rights to a somewhat niche yet popular (within its niche) franchise go to waste. However, I think if anything, SuperNOVA's shown that Konami is trying to appeal to the crowd that wants harder material. They got chewed out by another crowd: the one that wants lots of Xepher style 9's and 10's, and in the spirit of that I think they are heading to a direction of utilizing Challenge more. It might be wishful thinking, but Konami has really been listening to fan input, despite what naysayers would love to believe.

A rock has much worse memory than a VCR. The best it can hope for is some savages to draw cave paintings on it. Then it has to be in a secluded location where the paintings won't weather off instantly. If a VCR breaks, it's covered by warranty. Sure, something better might come along that trumps it, but it still serves a purpose. It's still more valuable than a rock.


On subject, it would be nice if nothing else to see 3+ arrow patterns in DDR.

This thread went from dead-boring to mildly amusing once Kilroy started defending VCRs. And since that's what this thread has come to, here's my contribution: a VCR would break if you threw a rock at it. I win.

Also, I figured out what annoys me more than people who just whine: people who act like they know what's going to happen and look down on everyone who doesn't agree with them. I think this thread needs to be locked until we hear more about what's going to happen to ITG, if only to silence these people. At this point, are there really any relevant things left to talk about?
