What do you prefer? Fun Songs or Difficult Songs?

[LibertyCabbage]

Hey folks, been playing DDR for a few days and readin forums and whatnot.

When you folks choose what songs to play, do you choose the songs that push your limits or do you play the songs you have the most fun with?

I ask cause i noticed that a lot of the really tough songs, are not that interesting as far as music goes. Its either super fast headache stuff or some really weird menacing sounding stuff. I want to push myself, but the songs i like aren't the fastest stuff out there.

What do you go for?

I mainly do songs I enjoy now and just do them on a harder level. I started on beginner and did all those til i got bored with them then moved up to light mode. I havent been playing that long so i can only do up to 4 footers and some 5's and doing anything harder right now is really annoying to me because some of them go so fast that i cant hit any arrows on target no matter how hard i try.

I've been playing since day after Thanksgiving and I finally moved on to Standard songs two weeks ago. I attempt to do the lights, but I find I only enjoy the higher foot ones. If I am playing to get in shape I do difficult songs, songs that require more work. However if I am bored and just playing or I have friends over I do fun songs. For DDR Max I love Rhythm and Police as well as Healing Vision: Angelic Mix. They are both fun and a good work out!

Just wanted to let people know that i moved this topic to the Chit Chat Section because it fits better here

as for my opinion on the topic...

i would rather have fun then be able to do a fast song.. i have been playing since 1999 and still am nothing more than trick (standard they are calling it these days)

I would rather just get up and dance... i get some real dance moves into it... and just have fun!!

[DevilHunterWolf]

Well, my opinion really can't matter since I love every DDR song. I play them all. I have fun with all of them. Even the Max songs (300, Unlimited, etc..) and those survivor songs (Trip Machine, Paranoia, etc...), It's not quite the same fun, but I enjoy the challenge and the music. And that in itself, is fun. That's what I think.

I prefer Hard Fun songs lol. Like memories ^_^ <333 that song. Pretty much any song that has a rythem type of thing. Like that on maniac or I feel or something like that ^_^. On maniac of course lol.

[rapmasterdragon]

depends. (i always play on heavy) sometime i just like to play some disco-like songs (maximum overdrive, spin the disk, ect) if im in a good mood. if im in a bad mode, then i play harder songs (the twilight zone, insertion, sakura). it all depends on my mood

[dancin' fool]

I really prefer melodic songs, which does make it harder to really push my limits, since they tend to be the easier ones. I wish I could get more good music for my playstation.

[quadrollersk8r]

Right now i prefer songs that sound pleasing to me rather than going for those that are fast/difficult. then again I am just now starting out with ddr, that might change in the future. It also helps that I have near 4,000 songs to choose from, there are a few hundred I like to play over and over. havent tried about 3,000 of them yet.

[MainMor]

I play on work out mode and I will start out playing the fun songs and the I will slam into the songs that push me to the point I have renamed one song to "Mother *self censored*"

[quadrollersk8r]

LOL, thats funny. I hate when they make some songs that I like mandatory 9 or 10 footers so I can't play them, maybe someday when I get down to like 180 pounds I could do them.

[MainMor]

lol... there is this one song... dont recall the title off hand... Its all in the air. I am jumping all over the place... jumping here and jumping there.

By the time I am done I am about to curl up in fetal and asking mommy to make the bad man go away.

That one song makes my cuss like a sailor...lol, but I do it anyways for the intensity.

;D

[quadrollersk8r]

yeah, I know to look at the graph to see which has a "acceptable" amount of jumps in it... don't want to spend the whole song in the air... bad bad bad!

[Elegantly Wasted]

I love difficult songs.. It's more challenging.. It's fun.

[jrd]

Challenging songs cus who cares if the song is fun, if it becomes too easily, you're going to get bored with it sooner.

[psmo290]

I usually do songs that might push my limits. I do song like max 300, maxx unlimited, sakura, paranoia surviovor all in a roll just to see how i can keep up. It increases my stamina so i like it

[MainMor]

I did something like this last night... I did all the really tough ones back to back...

I about collapsed at the end...lol...It felt real good though, my calves were burning by the end.

[psmo290]

yeah, it's a great feeling isn't it? I wish i can do more but my body just cant take it.

[MainMor]

You got that right, I just want to keep groovin to the beat...but its impossible...lol

What do they say? The spirit is willing but the body is weak?

[psmo290]

that's exactly what i would say.

hey! i'm a junior member now, that's a surprise
