Rhythm Game Megathread v1 - Don't stop moving to the funky funky beat - Games

I'm surprised this isn't a thing yet (or it is a thing and it's so buried that I can't find it.) [B]Quick Summary[/B] This thread is all about Rhythm games. You like Rhythm games? Post about it. You got an insanely high score? Post about it. You are so incredibly frustrated with this one song and that one note just won't hit? Post about it. [B]What is a Rhythm game?[/B] It's pretty self explanatory, but for those that do not know a Rhythm game is a game in which you have to "tap" along to the beat of the song to get points. The most well known example of a Rhythm game would be Guitar Hero or Rock Band.

Added that and the rest to the list. [QUOTE=Franke_R!?;43936064]only donkey konga is real [img]http://puu.sh/6YEcC.png[/img][/QUOTE] I remember playing this in a shop once, that's the only experience I have with it. It's a shame the Wii version never made it out of production, I can't see how they would have failed to make it amazing.

I stilll have my copy of donkey konga an the kongas that came with it laying around, it's a fun game but the songs do get old pretty quickly.

Let's get some videos in here, post some crazy clips of people getting insane scores on insane songs. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xToUukZq-24[/media] I think this was the video that made me buy this game, it's just so intense and the joy in his voice when he gets past the tough parts and completes the song. It sums up for me why rhythm games are so great. [QUOTE=Franke_R!?;43937788]I stilll have my copy of donkey konga an the kongas that came with it laying around, it's a fun game but the songs do get old pretty quickly.[/QUOTE] I'd consider buying it myself but at this point I know it will get old fast, and I am sure the set is rather expensive to begin with.

[QUOTE=Frustration96;43938044]I'd consider buying it myself but at this point I know it will get old fast, and I am sure the set is rather expensive to begin with.[/QUOTE] I think it's around 10-30 dollars on ebay which is quite cheap. The songs get old after a couple of hours yeah but it's great fun and quite addicting if you're playing against a friend.

I was expecting it to be around £50 but I might just have to get it now...

..Where's Stepmania/FFR/DDR on these lists? Come on, guys! Some love for the old besties! [url=http://www.stepmaniaonline.net/]Here is a great website[/url] to get everything you might want relevant to Stepmania, including setting up the [i]networked gameplay[/i] that comes with all versions of Stepmania, in order to play with your friends.

no beatmania? no djmax?

so like are we merging the osu! thread with this one? i was wondering if we should turn osu thread into general rhythm game thread for a while now because there's really not much to talk about. and you've already made this one, sooo [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GGXdx3Z2yc[/media] this song sucks my keyboard sucks my webcam sucks my fingers suck

I used to play that really shoddy GH clone for the PC. Am I alone on this? I forgot what it's called. Anyways, I moved from that to osu! and never looked back.

Sweet, a rhythm game thread. I really want to buy a dance mat to play DDR or StepMania, it would be great exercise. Too bad; living in a studio apartment, I don't think it would go down well with the neighbours.

[QUOTE=Alice3173;43944221]Does Audiosurf really count as a rhythm game?

Me and my friends at school would play it during study period whenever we got the chance tho. [QUOTE=Alice3173;43944221]Does Audiosurf really count as a rhythm game?

I heard it was really bad though.

I'm terrible at rhythm games, donkey konga and rocksmith are the only ones I am good at. Playing a hard song on a real guitar/bass is easier than doing that shit on guitar hero's expert mode.

[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;43946652]I'm terrible at rhythm games, donkey konga and rocksmith are the only ones I am good at. Playing a hard song on a real guitar/bass is easier than doing that shit on guitar hero's expert mode.[/QUOTE] I am also really bad, though I can feel myself improving quickly as I practise. For example in Cytus at first I was struggling to get S ranks on the really easy songs, but now I'm struggling to get S ranks on harder songs and the previous ones I have gotten Million Master (absolutely flawless) on. So that's reassuring as I grind my teeth when I fail for the umpteenth time to get this one note right.

Might as well ask here. I've really been enjoying DT on osu! recently and I'd like to find some more songs that are around the level of Shotgun Senorita [Hard] on DT mod. If anyone happens to know any, shoot 'em my way pls [editline]17th February 2014[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nH3AkGKA6k[/media] also did this streams suck eh

[QUOTE=PrivRyan;43946612]Well, you collect notes? It's something I suppose. Audiosurf 2 is on early access. I heard it was really bad though.[/QUOTE] Maybe the puzzle modes are a bit more rhythm based but in general the game doesn't feel like a rhythm game to me, it just feels more like a music game without the rhythm aspect. Same with something like Symphony though I would argue that's a little more rhythm based personally. And Audiosurf 2 doesn't suck per se. The dev just changed it a lot and last time I tried it more classic modes such as ninja mono didn't feel right. I haven't played since Christmas though so maybe he has changed that. (Hopefully he has in fact.) And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Audiosurf shouldn't be listed here or anything, I just question it being labelled as a rhythm game is all.

Audiosurf is as much a rhythm game as beat hazard is a rhythm game.

In Audiosurf though the only thing the rhythm of the song really affects is how fast you go. In Beat Hazard it tends to affect everything from your weapon speed to how many enemies spawn.

But that still doesn't make either of them rhythm games. They're arcade games based on music but not rhythm games.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;43955426]But that still doesn't make either of them rhythm games. They're arcade games based on music but not rhythm games.[/QUOTE] Er, what? That's what I've been arguing this entire time is that I don't think they should be classified as rhythm games. :v:
