applause cause and effect

[Resolute]

in ddr, does the crowds cheering and booing effect your play? for me, its almost inevitable that i will get an AA when they do. in itg, im not as good because no one cheers. are others this way, or am i just a pity whore?

on the home versions, when the game does it, it is annoying, so i turned it off. i think a cheer would be great , and a boo would make be want to get violent with machine.

...as for gameplay, not affected(wouldn't be if i already do my best at the arcade, if the machine cheered...wouldn't make a difference...if machine boo'd, i'd wait until the song ended, then say to the machine, "you know what, i hayt yew."NO!!!! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!!!!!!!!

edited because i didnt know if you were talking about an actual crowd or not

I'm pretty sure he means the in game voices such as "100 combo" or "I was almost Dazzled"; not an actual crowd of people.

yeah i mean the in game cheer, because when most people do it that watch, either they are retarded and think that being able to put quarters in the machine without help is amazing, or they are scoffing because deep down inside, a little kid is crying because they cant do it. i hate when real people are like "nice try", then i want to eat them

DDR Crowds: It doesn't really matter to me because i don't really notice it, I'm too busy focusing on my gameplay. DDR is sirius bisnss


Real life crowds: I do a ton worse when people are all like "Oh wow that's amazing!" or whatever because i usually try to do better, but end up missing steps and doing worse .

Nowadays i don't actually get real crowds. Instead I get the sarcasm "Lolz ur so good Lolz but u can't bet my cousin's brother's aunt's uncle's half-brother's son's stepchild who lives in Antartica who broke his leg that isn't even here in the arcade or isn't even relevant to ur playing etc. etc. " or Me: *fails song* "Lolz u failed u missd sooo maneee arowz lolz i can AAA dat Sheet" umm... no .

Any voice that comes from the DDR machine needs to have an option to be turned off because it's completely pointless and makes the game sound even stupider.

^ Agreed.

I like the combo voices because it always get amazed when you get 500+ (which I've only done at home). But the cheering is loud and obnoxious, and some of the things the announcer says are really dumb.

Is it bothersome enough to actually affect gameplay? No. Is it still stupid? Yes.

Actually, the applause can sometimes partially obscure the beat, at least for me. It happens in places where the beat or the music is very soft - for example, the beginning of Sandstorm on Max US. Once in a (rare) while, the applause will occur in a soft part of a song and hide the beat just enough for me to get a Great or two (this probably happens because I don't usually play visually).

IMO, the announcer and background sounds are pretty useless. I don't need a recorded voice to periodically yell my combo number at me. I'm glad ITG doesn't have an announcer, applause, etc.

Totally agreed.
I mostly find them annoying on the home version.
But only because im too lazy to turn it off.
In the arcade i don't think it's much different then the public noise.
