VxJasonxV is a badass.

All you other people must want to feel important talking about things that have been talked about before.

p.s. "Oh no! I have to wait xx.xx more seconds for it to load, WHYYYYY!!!!"

I've got a gripe. Event Mode and failures. If you fail a song in Event Mode, it doesn't drop you back to the song wheel. Nope. It drops you alll the way back to the title screen. I'm used to DDR style event mode that always drops you to the song wheel, no matter what. I found this aspect infuriating to the point where I'd just force quit songs once I'd failed to immediately take me back to the song wheel.

I don't see what the fuss with the load times is.. a sharper interface takes longer to bring up. It's definetly nothing worse than what you'd find in most RPG/action games, why should a rhythm game stand out?

People are just spoiled on DDR's quickness, I think. Higher quality takes longer, that's all, and I've no problems with waiting around a few extra seconds for it.

I found the event mode thing a bit frustrating, but I just consider that a way of inspiring me to not fail. :P

Just a quick question. Was it really specifically Roxor that handled porting ITG to PS2? I could have sworn they outsourced the process to another programming company/team.

Regardless, it's ok to call a spade a spade. The load times are absolutely rediculous, although the game is still playable. Nearly instantaneous load times and dynamic screen transitions go a long way in giving a whole game a more polished presentation. Complaining about these programming issues and other bugs is the best way to let Roxor know they need to be more careful next time. Look at the drama over DDR EX US. There were a number of problems that fans went ape(bleep) over, and lo and behold, most of those issues appear to have been rectified with DDR EX 2.

Hey, about the loading time, does anyone has an old PS2? Mine takes like 30 seconds just to start a game.... I'm just wondering if it's gonna affect the gameplay

having to wait 30 seconds for a score screen would really suck

Another bug:

If you're playing on Event Mode, your scores/unlocks won't save unless A) You manually save in the Options screen or B) you fail a song.

Hey folks - after a bit of testing, I discovered my problem with hitting buttons during game mode. It turns out that I had the settings on dance pad instead of controller.

However, there's still an interface problem here - I've got a controller in slot one and a dance pad in slot two. Unfortunately, there're no options to determine P1 and P2 input seperately - it's all or nothing on that front. Luckily I've got only a four panel (and pushbuttons) dance pad, so I'm able to keep controller play on.

As far as the triangle thing goes - I apologize. It turns out that Triangle only instant-quits during the song select menu. I extrapolated, and, well, was wrong. Sorry. I'll concentrate only on confirmed issues in the future.

hmm I don't have a problem with foot codes since I play PIU... but as far as sorting goes... it isn't really neccessary with anything below 110 songs... 70 songs without a sort option is fine with me... hell.. none of the USA home versions of DDR really need the sort option... If Konami made the graphics for a song more noticeable like they are in PIU games you would be able to identify your favorites from their title image/background video
but with DDRs generic backgrounds (with a lot looking similar) you don't really notice them... Pop n Music has graphics that fit each song so you can pass by a song by at a high speed and catch it without sorting (well thats all in Japanese anyway and I can't read it... haha)
