Default Re: DDR X2

X2 isn't bad, but DDR has really fallen out of favour since ITG appeared. Some of the songs on X/X2 are great, and there are a handful of interesting charts, but I'm mostly interested by more challenging charts, and Konami seem not to know how to make charts that are hard and fun anymore.

If you do that it'll be the worst decision you've ever made (assuming that the US DDR:X cabs have similar specs to the EU ones).

We only have a handful of DDRX cabs here in the UK, and they're not *awful*, although the pad design is really lame compared to older styles. Love the cab design though!

The downside is that if you upgrade a DDRX to a DDRX2, the hardware of the X can't handle X2 and you get the most godawful problems on the machine. To give an example, I'm a player who can pass 15s on ITG and SDG 10's all day long on DDR, and here's what happens when I play in time to the music on an upgraded DDRX2. It started a little off, and got worse as the song progressed.
