Forum Overview :: Short Dumbledores :: FWIW I feel much the same way about DDR

[quote name="Noi Dau Don"]which is essentially a schmup rewritten to be played on a dance pad, right down to the motherfucking boss battles. I don't like schmup schmups because I get too tense playing them. DDR is so physical that I can't get worked up mentally without instantly rechanneling the excess brain angst into feet of fire and subsequent l-dopa rush. Scoring is all on consecutive hits + bonus based on consec hit count running at end of song, so if you fuck up at the beginning it's not nearly as big a deal as if you fuck up in the middle or end. There are modes with point-item-like features but I do not personally bother with them. 8 different people have shown up to tell you that schmups suck. I think it might be more that there's just so friggin much tension for so little reward and most people don't want to be that uptight recreationally, whereas a mellow and relaxed lady like yourself has less of a problem with it. There is no solution to this problem. Sorry~ ^_^[/quote]
