Music/Rhythm games that DON'T feature guitars - Page 4

You know what was a great rhythm game? Bust-a-groove! It was a wacky breakdancing game for the PS1, and it got a sequel or two. You put in DDR-style commands to bust out moves, and if you did well enough you got an awesome solo section. There were even secret dances obtainable by deliberately putting in different commands to what the game tells you to do. Not only that, it was made by none other than Enix, before they became Square-Enix.

Dudes charisma is over 9000. I was thinking about doing one of those real life EBA videos, and totally considering using Makes No Difference as the main dance model.

Anyway, I'm just posting to update you on my EBA progress: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!

Once you beat EBA you need to get Ouendan. I've beaten EBA. I'm still stuck on Ready, Steady, Go! on Hard on Ouendan though.

Ok, so I've tried about 30 times now, and Jumpin' Jack Flash is just punching me in the face over and over. I can full combo up until the second chorus, but then it all just falls apart right there. I haven't even made it to the third part. *cries at ineptitude*

I believe you should direct your attention at my signature, R|Я. You know the truth now.

The thing that makes Ready Steady Go so irritating for me, is not only is it hard, but you have no choice but to rewatch thirty goddamn seconds of intro clip every time you restart. Throws off your groove like whoa, and that's a long level in the first place.

My recommendation is to make use of the "replay" feature when you fail, so you can see if you're hitting too slow or too fast, or check out a recording on line that may help you hear what the actual beat is supposed to be.

Boy, I had a hard time beating Jumpin' Jack Flash and just getting a B ranking out of the ordeal on easy mode with the easiest agent.
Now I'm playing with Agent J and boy, I am not looking forward to it.

Also for the record I've owned EBA for, what, close to a week now? And I still can't get higher than a B ranking on any difficulty level and with any song. And the strange thing is prior to this game, I was often told I did have a keen sense of rhythm.

Kim · 06-09-2009, 09:52 PM

Dude, don't even worry about the rankings, you probably won't start getting A's and whatnot until the hardest difficulty, and that's mostly because if you aren't doing well enough to get an A you will fail the song.

Yeah, but I'm also a perfectionist, and I'm not happy about the fact that I still miss at least a few beats entirely in every song. Even on easy mode. =(

Dammit EBA, I will master you one day!!! Even if I fail all my law school courses, I will still conquer you!!!

Kim · 06-09-2009, 10:42 PM

On the hardest difficulty, you can fail a song without missing any beats. In fact, it is very easy to fail without missing beats. Think on that for a moment.

Solid Snake · 06-09-2009, 10:47 PM

WHAT.

...How...how can you even possibly compete?
