Well I could maybe do Dignity... if you pretend it doesn't have M runs or half its triples.... I just don't like a lot of jumps, so stuff like What Do You Really Want kind of makes me mad.

Why i quit ddr for itg (i blow at piu)

1. Dedicated cabinets are awesome, the sound quality is amazing in comparison to a ddrex cab.

2. Dedicated cabinets are awesome, the pad quality is amazing in comparison to a ddrex cab.

3. Roxor actually LISTENS to it's own fanbase AMAZING :O!

4. USB support is wicked AWESOME!!!! No more bringing a digital camera to the arcade again.

5. USB support is wicked AWESOME!!!! No more disliking the stepcharts that are horrible because you can get your own!

6. Rolling freezes and mines. Originally i hated rolling freezes but now i am starting to like them (especially 1 footed ones

)

7. Percentage Grading: No more "Lolz we both got an AA were both teh same lolz" when one person has 45 greats and the other has 5.

8. Doubles Premium: Something that arcade owners are actually willing to do for you :O!

9. It's so hard LOLz teh timing windows

10. It's so hard LOLz 15 fttrs!!!! wth?

small reasons why ddr is better

1. More space to put ur stuff (ITg cabs have like no space to put ur keys, cell phone tokens, water bottles and shout, wtf?)

2. "Creative Stepcharts"- *supernova comes out* well i guess that part's over

3. LolzBBQ i ned a fird reason *insert 3rd reason*

4. 6-panel mode- well i guess that's over too

That's all

I left DDR for IGT because of the gameplay and style. The songs are catchy (well, most of them), theres no annoying announcer always trying to start a conversation with you, and the graphics are more friendly on your eyes! I still do the DDR machines from time to time because there are some songs I cant just forget about, like R3, Saints or Rhythm and Police.

I gave up DDR in favor of ITG at the end of 2005 for these reasons:

1. DDR is too old, too obsolete. Not enough options to keep in par with ITG.
2. Songs are too cheesy. I'd rather be dancing to real techno/hardcore than the kiddie eurobeat crap.
3. Not enough hard songs. The few 10s in DDR are nothing compared to the likes of Determinator, Pandemonium, HotN, and VerTexÂ² in ITG.
4. Graphics are becoming dated. The same old DDRMAX noteskins are being used in SuperNova. Don't we get tired of seeing these after so many years? At least ITG has Robot noteskins.
5. Lack of new originals in SuperNova. From what I heard, it's nothing but a bunch of songs from arcade and home versions of previous mixes as well as Beatmania songs. ITG3 is getting new originals.
6. The announcer is rather annoying and the dancers are distracting. Couldn't we just forget about these idiot dancers and announcers and get on with the real deal, dancing to the music?
7. DDR has lost its lasting appeal. Too much of the old stuff too long. ITG pretty much keeps the challenge fresh by adding something new to each version, like adding rolls and Survivor Mode in ITG2 and single-roll stepcharts in ITG3 (hello, Esperanza).

Have you guys tried making DDR more fun? Try throwing in your own handplants. Be creative. Maybe learn how to freestyle. You guys could still get a lot of fun out of DDR if you make it fun. I recently started getting bored of my bowling ally's unlockless DDR EXTREME, so I'm making it more fun. Also, have you (and I'm only directing this to some of you, who will remain nameless Mostly Harmless) tried Oni courses or double mode yet? Those are a lot of fun.

Throwing in random hand plants and freestyles only makes you look like an idiot.

I didn't really have reasons for quitting DDR for ITG. I just stumbled upon ITG, liked it, and enjoyed it more than DDR.

I still play DDR once in a while, but only for Doubles and Oni courses.

I don't get all this ITG bashing. The music is good, better than a lot of DDR stuff, and not everything is hardcore techno (although if you don't like music that's GOOD for a dance game, too bad). It presents more of a challenge, and the expert charts aren't "not fun". The timing windows are more strict in normal gameplay, and you have an accurate % of how you did.

Not having fun? I don't think turning off mines is a big deal if you're not even getting 90's anyway. Hands, mines, and rolls are different and fun.

Complain about ITGs many mods? Mess with them some day. Ever play 5-option or whatever on DDR? Play ITG.

Konami obviously doesn't listen to their fans. Don't argue with "oh, but there are soo many crappy people who like pop" when Konami could release HARDER songs than one or two 11s, and the newbs that play the game probably won't care for it's existance, and won't quit the game because there's like five hard songs or something. 10s+ don't have to be crappy songs with a crazy BPM.

Wow... I can't believe this isn't locked yet. The very first post was basically flaming DDR and now it turned into a DDR vs. ITG vs. PIU thread.

Call me an old fart, I was raised by them, but, DDR beats everything because:

1. It is the original.
2. The only reason it doesn't have hands and poopy is because generic copyright code loopholers create dance games to get in the business too, and must have new gimmics(?).
3. The music is better, sorry but Japanese(?) music is just better to dance to than ITG crap
4. Konami put hard work into creating this game and other companies bought it to cut and paste the programing into their own game.

Not to smash PUI, it is a mock up, but not completly, is fun to play and is uniqe in its own ways

I seriously do not get how you people can dislike ITG. I remember my first time playing it. It was a perfect working dedicab. I played it and immediatly realized that it was a gift from God to the earth. It's just so much fun, what with all the hands, mines, rolls, and all that other ITG goodness.
