about some of the songs that comes with F2nd

Didn't really notice that personally. One of the songs felt kind of like a vocaloid rap song which might have thrown you off. Once you hear them a few times it I think you'll be able to hear the melody a bit more. Plus the songs with constant BPM changes might also be throwing you off a bit but I like them since it adds more of a challenge IMO.

 

Well, remember that these are edit version of most of the songs, some intrumental parts are missing, the sound on PS3 is far below a regular stereo sound system, what are these 5 songs ?

 

ouch ._. 2 of the songs you mentioned as noise were my favorites -_- and peace of mind's intro is just building up the good part ;p i found out there was an english version of it.....and that one REALLY is noise though. paradichlorobenzene has rhythm imo, it is more vocal though, not instrumental. Different tastes for everyone i guess. honestly i can't really name a song i disliked though.

 

I was like wtf, too.

wtf how can something so unearthly perfect exist and where has it been all my life

 

Honestly, I was disappointed with this game. Perhaps I was expecting more of the older songs to appear, but yes... I have to agree that nearly all (if not all?) of the new songs are really noisy and I didn't really like them.
I thought that it was because many of the new songs were from new artists, compared to the earlier games.

Also because the game has become so difficult for me to play, that now I am horribly biased. >_>

 

First thing: If you want more older songs to appear, then you should really play the older games and not rely on the recent games because it's going to be boring as hell. Really. Therefor all the DLC so far are ALL from previous games which starts to pisses me off, since I want to see new songs (they seriously continues with their poll. if they are going to release all DLC off from the poll, I really am not going to be suprised anymore of any DLC contents).

2nd: You still have to think about what the majority in Japan thinks about the new songs that has been included. Otherwise those songs wouldn't have been in game. YT kinda is not a good advice to check the popularity but NND does (at least what I guess.).

3rd: I really can't count that many new artist in this game... Wasn't PDf having more new ones ...?

Then the last thing that bugs me is the difficulty. I honestly must admit, that PDF2nd is still way to easy compared to Extend. Especially old songs got seriously easy replaced with either star notes or simple and always the same pattern. And I still won't accept some note placement in Luka Luka Night Fever and Ura Omote Lovers where the beat doesn't feel right compared to extend. It just sounds wrong (or songs that started though but ended up easy, see SPiCa -39- or Paradichlorobenzene).
But maybe the major problem that I am thinking of is that the difference between Console difficulty and Arcade difficulty is totally high. And I really wished since PDExtend that the difficulty would increase in the future but got disappointed every single time ...

Sorry btw that I am picking your post XD" For some reasons I needed to post on these opinions :<

 

I already have the first two games. I bought them, twice. Why? My UMDs have developed deep circular rings and all of my PSPs are too worn out to be repaired properly. I've spent quite a lot on repairing the 3 of them, and only one is working passably now... and it isn't my main one that has the PSN content.
I could just settle for playing the PSP games on my PSVita, but I do appreciate better graphics too lol.

I don't know why, but it seems like you took me for someone who was hoping for the whole game to be filled with old songs. Nope, I wasn't expecting that.
I was actually just hoping for more content that I could enjoy, which somehow ended up being more of the older songs because they fit my interests because the new ones didn't really appeal to me.

In the end, it was as you suggested... I ended up playing all of the old games that I had. :/
Ah well, I still have PDA to play with. Not too bad, I suppose... except that the costs are high.

But what the majority thinks (which I never cared about) doesn't represent what I think, hence my comment.
I was just never interested in super loud music.

I saw this thread as being about our opinions on the content of this new game, and not being about what it actually is.

I might be wrong here, but I thought that I saw more unfamiliar names in F 2nd. It's possible that I'm wrong because I didn't get to play much on my PSVita, ever since I started on my mandatory enlistment to the nation here. :/

Extend was the first game that I ever played, and in the end I was still able to do better in Extend that F 2nd.
Usually, the star notes usually hurt my performance because I am somehow unable to get my timing and the pattern right. In PjD f, that wasn't really a problem because the worst that one could get was just FINE.
Since they got rid of that, it led to me getting an infinite number of SAFEs, SADs and WORSTs. :(

Just so that we're clear, I'm not even talking about EXTREME here. I am now struggling on even HARD, and could originally barely pass on NORMAL.

Yea, like my other friends who simply treated me like a new player from 2012 to now, you could give me the standard advice of just practicing more. But then at some point, I decided that enough was enough, and that I shouldn't have to struggle so hard just to have fun.
Basically to say, I did give up and became horribly biased.
