Donkey Konga

Me too, Mzo. But I'm sure that would bring back the horrors of finding an official set of Sega Samba Marraccas. *shudder*

First Movie

not really interested in the genre what so ever, but it seems like it would be fun if that's your thing.

[dog$]

Maybe you should try playing one of the games in the genre that isn't DDR so you could, y'know, give your opinion some merit.

[Johnny Nighttrain]

hmm....fair enough. not gonna happen though. im sure the games all share the same basic idea, just different methods of input.

oh wait, i did play Drumania. yeah, i just don't dig the genre.

[dog$]

Oh you did? I didn't hear about that.

What was your problem with Drummania?

[Johnny Nighttrain]

it's just...meh. it's not so much that i think they suck, i could definitely see how one could get into the genre to the point were they go to tourneys and shit, it's just not my thing.

[dog$]

Uh, ok. Well, what would the game have to do so that it -would- be "your thing"?

[Johnny Nighttrain]

alright dude, you can stop fucking with me already...

but to answer you question...a game that requires full on breakdancing...that would be about it. aside from that...who can say no to head?

[dog$]

I'm really not trying to fuck with you, it's just that you're overly dismissive of the genre and I could never figure out why. So I'm just trying to get at the why, and not just a "well I don't like it so FOAD" answer.

Like you mention Drummania and say meh, right?
Well what's it supposed to do? Tougher songs? Easlier? Less pads? More pads? Dual bass pedals? Better interface? More licenced songs? That's what I'm getting at.

[Johnny Nighttrain]

hmm...ok, i'll put it this way. fuck, i don't even know why im gonna open up this can or worms, but if i really wanted to play something that consisted of hitting something at the right time, then i'd rather invest $2 into a Simon machine instead of paying $1 for whatever random bemani game at the arcade.

my ex-girlfriend tried to get me into it, and i gave it a solid chance. they just don't apeal to me. my only interest in the genre goes as far as watching tournemant play for comedic purposes.

if im at the arcade, i'd rather play just about anything else.
