What's your favourite music game?
Can be rhythm games, or whatever really.
Bonus points for if they let you use your own music.
Rock Band 2. Absolutely perfect.
>Amazing setlist for all sorts of people
>Great online
>Fantastic DLC
>Cool daily challenges
>Fun campaign mode
>Great UI/menus
Best plastic band game, hands down. Shame what happened with 3 and 4.
GH3's the best guitar only game. Also Audiosurf 1's pretty good, 2 was a good idea marred by shit; nobody wanted to play your shitty surf mode.

This is the only game which tempts me to get a VR headset.
It looks fun as fuck
Probably Pump It Up. DDR is great, too, but the music selection in pump it up is just too good
>>338182716
This is the only game I still use my vive for.
>>338183005
Is it as fun as it looks? It looks like really good excercise which I'd actually enjoy.
Beat Hazard is probably my favorite.
>>338183042
Its very fun, my only problem is that the dev kinda cashed in on VR and bailed, its not as flushed out as Audiosurf 1 and 2 and I dont think he has plans to update it with some needed patches. The system itself is fucked as well, as purple shield blocks both colors as well as purple, so people stand there with purple up and get the #1 spot on all songs.
>>338182203
I'm having a lot of fun with crypt of the necrodancer lately, playing it with your own music is great.
Also when it comes to rhytm games pic related will always have a special place in my heart.
I've put hundreds of hours into the first Audiosurf over the years. Is the second one worth it?
>>338182203
Guitar hero 3. still the tightest and best Guitar hero.
Should have done Guitar hero: Iron maiden.
>>338183110
I tried that but it felt like it had no correlation to the music being played.
>>338183591
I'd say so. It's basically the same as the first but a bit more intense and with a lot more custom stuff.
Gitaroo man
Patapon
Rhythm heaven
MOTHER 3 (Fuck you it is.)
Are some of my faves in no particular order
>>338182203
The one that everyone else hates.
I dunno, I like how there's a lot more movement than most rhythm games. I like that there's some degree of precision required as well as timing in order to perform well. Most other rhythm games just bore me to tears.The song catalogue is shite though, way too much weeb trash.
freQuency back in the day taught me that all that crazy electronic music isn't all that crazy to begin with, you just gotta layer things one by one.
14-15 years later and now i own a bunch of synthesizers and drum machines.
still gotta pick up the new amplitude.
Real talk for a second. I don't understand why people like Project Diva. I'm not a huge fan of Vocaloid music but there are a few songs I like. I just can't get into the game itself, feels like the rhythm is fucked up somehow, and timing is really really hard to get.
The music game I'm playing the most right now is probably Starlight Stage which isn't very difficult but still.
>>338182203
Audiosurf is about the only one I really like because well, it's not much of a "press a button when it's in the right position style" rhythm game.
Since I suck at rhythm game and never really liked replaying songs enough to get properly good, I didn't really get into them. And I found stuff like Guitar Hero to just be silly and clunky.
I love that feeling of "riding" on the music that Audiosurf gives me and you never really get that with most rhythm games I've played.
>>338184135
Can you actually find some good music for it somewhere? I mean it could be an okay rhytm game if all the songs weren't japanese shit.
are there any good rhytm games on steam?
is Sentris good?
>>338184550
Doesn't help that they are laggy as all fuck, well on the PSP at least.
I really wanted to get into it when I was a weeb, but never could because of the mediocre gameplay.
>>338184586
Pretty much this.
Audiosurf is great for people like us who are incompetent at rhythm games.
>>338184626
You could use the beatamap listing and check all languages except Japanese, and uncheck anime. Should filter out the vast majority of it.
Symphony
Shmup with levels made by music itself? Yes please.
Can't wait for it's sequel.
>>338182203
Rez
>>338185215
>Implying that's a unique thing
Beat Hazard wants a word.
Audiosurf made me realize just how few high tempo songs I listen to.
>>338183451
That's a shame. Honestly, it's the sort of thing I think VR is made for, rather than what some people are trying to push.
>>338185465
For me it was the exact opposite. Loads of the things I thought were more relaxed were still vertical thrill rides.
>>338182203
Riff racer
O2Jam
The original PC Online game version and not the watered down mobile version
>>338185215
>>338185431
Any of those allow you to import songs?
Find all these generic electronic beat type songs to be really boring.
>>338185571
Riffffff Racer!
Gitaroo Man
Project Diva and Rock Band are also great depending if I wanna go full weebshit or play more "normal" music.
EBA's pretty fun but I kinda hate Osu. I think it's just because it's EBA without any of the presentation and style and I mean, that's like 75% of the game. That and the game simply doesn't feel right using a mouse compared to a touchscreen.
>>338185431
Beat Hazard is more like a seizure-inducing Asteroids (which I don't consider a real shmup).
Symphony on the other hand is vertical shmup like Giga Wing.
>>338185640
Yes
>>338185769
Which one of them?
ULALA'S
SWINGIN'
REPORT
SHOW
>>338185797
Both
mudda fucking gitaroo man, guitar hero 2, patapons, project diva f, dj max and technika tune, rhythm heaven, elite beat agents
>>338184550
I'm in kind of the opposite boat, I never really cared for vocaloids at all but the game just hooked me instantly. If the rhythm/timing feels fucked up then it might be just your screen or something (unless you're playing on the handhelds themselves). I will say I think (been a while since I played any of them) the rhythm is focused on the vocals more than anything else though, at least in some parts of the songs.
>>338185862
Neat. Thanks.
>>338182203
Rift Racer and Melody's Escape are both fantastic games

There are two types of videogames:
There is Beatmania IIDX, and there is everything else.
>>338185965
>Rift
*Riff
>>338185215
is the song selection UI still garbage?
last time I played you could only chose songs from a blanket list of all mp3s on your hard drive and at best sort by artist
>>338185965
Hm, Rift Racer looks like a complete ripoff of Audiosurf even down the aesthetic.
>>338182203
I always really like Amplitude and Frequency for the PS2. The new Amplitude is really good but doesn't have create a song mode.
Other than that I played the shit out of Britney's Dance Beat.
What ever happened to rhythm doctor?
>>338184678
I tried the PSP version and the PS3 version and honestly wasn't impressed. As far as the PS3 goes at least I have Shiny TV, which is actually pretty fun and simple.
Also, if I get a western music itch I've got Phase Shift loaded up with pretty much the majority of songs available for Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
>>338185903
I did play on the PSP. I could check to see if there's a synchronization option in the menu of the PS3 version, I haven't actually done that because I thought it was like the PSP version, which I also had trouble getting into.
>>338186027
>tfw there's a Konami Bemani controller sitting in my closet for years, being unused
>>338186135
Its not
It controls nothing like Audiosurf and you don't hit the beats of the song, you have to avoid obstacles and occasionally drift.
>>338186230
PS2-USB converter and Lunatic Rave 2.
Thousands of BMS songs out there to play.
It's been my daily routine for years, and I'll keep going until my body physically cannot do so.
>>338183565
Any recommendations for music for necrodancer?
I mostly listen to vocal stuff, which id imagine is kind of shitty.
Also mods? Anything good there?
>>338186230
I've been interested in Phase Shift, where do you even download songs? Last time I tried to look everything was either taken down due to copyright or hidden behind tons of forum walls. I might not have been looking in the right place, though.
Also is there a good amont of content not from the retail games? I've played through most of those already.
>>338186560
not him but I had a good time playing the game with some sonic rush music.
Rez
>>338185215
How's it actually respond to music? Last shmup with custom soundtracks I played was Space Invaders: Infinity Gene which while looked awesome and had a cool campaign didn't respond to music pretty much at all.
Rez
Pls don't fuck the sequel up
osu!mania and stepmania
Is audiosurft 2 actually any better than 1?
>>338186412
I could also use Arcade data or play the PS2 games on my CRT but truth is I just SUCK at bemani. I wanted to try Pop N' Music but there's no home controller and I didn't want to ghetto up a keyboard or something.
>>338186649
Frets on Fire (which is what people used before Phase Shit) forums have a thread that's being updated with pretty much every song from the franchise. The guy is not done yet but there are a lot of songs to get. There used to be everything for Frets on Fire but it got taken down. There also used to be a good amount of custom beatmaps but nowadays they are rare. Stick to the "official" beatmaps and be done with it.
>>338182203
I played the shit out of audiosurf 1. Does 2 add anything interesting or is the only addition that dumb-looking surfing dude?
>playing the casualfest that is mono
>not playing double vision ironmode by yourself
>>338184135
remember when renard wasn't full tumblr
I've really been into Deemo lately. It's incredible how touch controls + no lanes feel intuitive in a DDR-like game after getting used to it, I don't think I could go back to old control schemes after trying it out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eThoazvS8_0
This shit looks ridiculous
>>338187154
That's a bit disappointing but at least there's the official tracks I haven't played, like GH: Metallica stuff. How does it handle differences in charts like for GH and RB drums (5 lanes vs 4)?

I'm sure there's other Popn controllers out there.
Personally I never saw a need to play Popn while IIDX exists, but still, either way, everyone sucks at Bemani for a while until you make the focused intent at practice and developing skill.
I'd find a way to do it and just treat it like an instrument. An hour per day, no matter how badly you play. You won't suck forever.
i play a fairr bit of osu but after 18 months i still dont know if i enjoy it
>>338187565
Hope it's not another Dyad. Visually that game was great but the gameplay just didn't do it for me.
>>338186847
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/03/17/the-inspirations-of-rez-infinite-on-playstation-vr/
It's looking good. The new area looks like Child of Eden a bit. Now, if they release the trance vibrator with it, as a CE, it'll be perfect.
I spent many hours playing Frequency for PS2. Makes you feel like a god when you do the hard shit.
>>338187634
I tried downloading the demo but it doesn't let you play custom songs and the non-custom ones are pure shit.
>tfw your not too far from a iidx machine and your local d&b is getting ddr a next month
Taiko no Tatsujin.
Like it partly because of how deep the gameplay goes and how brutally challenging it gets despite the simple "two actions" control scheme, partly because how good and varied the music selection and notecharts are, with some extremely out of wack songs in the original music sections. Overall a very satisfying game that always has a good challenge on offer no matter how adept you get.
>>338187623
To be honest, I only play with a Guitar so no idea.
>>338187678
Dat price tag though. And yeah, I'm just not sure I'm ready to invest so much time in a single game. Pop 'N seems to be easier and also have good music.
>>338187928
I should try this out.
>>338188163
at least you get literally anything konami in the US
im a brit and the nearest pop'n cab is AMSTERDAM
>>338188175
>Taiko
>hard
You literally press A and B. Its one of the most casual music games out there, dont act like its got some secret hard scale to it.
>>338187213
Ninja Mono in Audiosurf 2 is ridiculous, it's insanely fast and full of grey blocks. You'd need fighter pilot reaction times to avoid everything.

N-No one talking about this?
I actually liked some remixes and Battle mode with someone else was fun too
>>338188569
Is it really that much more difficult than in 1?

Yes

>tfw I shilled out for a metal pad only to play for about 3 months until the spare pc I was using for it broke
It's heading into winter here so I'll probably fix it and get back into it again. Does anyone know of any decent stepmania 5 skins that don't suck ass for using with pad?
>>338188175
Wish I could play Taiko in an arcade. Seems like you need fucking stamina to play it.
>>338188271
I don't know man, sounds like a trip to me.
>>338188320
All of these kinds of games can be played down to sound trivial. In Guitar Hero you hold five frets and flick a strum button, in Beatmania you play a piano and scratch a turntable, in DDR you dance on four arrow keys. What is your point?
>>338189179
>click click click
Project Diva is fun, I dont care for the rest.
>>338186135
>>338185965
riff racer kinda sucks desu. The track generation doesnt really vary that much cause really what can you do in a racing game. The speed shit doesnt really work cause the game automatically adjusts your speed to match to the beat over time. Ultimately all you do is press drift on turns and go off ramps in a way where you do a flip. If the track wasn't flashing to the beat, you would not be able to tell it's a rhythm game.

Played it earlier this year while visiting nippon
It's pretty great anon, the sliders were annoying since the screen had heavy friction and I wasn't buying gloves just for it.
>>338189812
Shit, those guys know intensity, definitely keeping that on my radar now.
>>338189575
I just hope the PS4 port will have an arcade controller for sale.
>>338187042
The trailer says that it syncs better with the music, and now you can change the skins of the highway and the vehicle.So maybe...
So GHL was a shitty cash grab and RB4 was a huge unfinished mistake
What will I do with my life now that RB4 isn't coming to PC?
>>338191227
Start playing GuitarFreaks.
>>338191227
w-what's wrong with RB4
>>338182716
Thinking about picking this up since I got my Vive, need to go and get more music, though.

Anyone else played JamLegend?
The game was kind of unpolished but I enjoyed it.And then they sold out to facebook, RIP.

Beat Hazard ultra
was so happy when it released on ps3(100% it in a few months), was so fun
got it some months back on PC but havent put much time into it
i dont use any of the included music only music i like.
>>338185571
Riff Racer is fucking sweet so far, even if the procedurally generated tracks can be rather unfair sometimes depending on the song.
