i am curious on your thoughts on ruri tunes...I personally like it quite a bit but it definitely makes it harder to binge through chapters as i get tired of playing the same 7 songs lol. I also wondered how they'd keep it interesting, considering I'm only on ch 12 and am dreading having to go to 30 with the same songs on the same normal level

OH BOY OH BOY ANON IM ABOUT TO BE SO ANNOYING >:D

On it's own, I like Ruri Tunes! I love the gameplay and the chibi characters are so cute!! But as a whole... it just doesn't work. Ruri Tunes is a rhythm game that's awkwardly shoved in, then forced to be important in a completely different kind of game.

Outside of mini-games or events, rhythm games aren't a thing you can just slide into your unrelated game with no warning. They're a genre, after all. You can't just put one into a visual novel dating sim, make it the defining factor of gameplay, and think players who never would've expected nor voiced want for it to be happy. It'd be like if you wanted to play a board game, but after setting everything up, found out that you have to play a first person shooter to determine how many spaces your piece moves. They clash, it's awkward, and most importantly, a lot of players don't like it.

Luckily, I enjoy rhythm games, so Ruri Tunes isn't that much of an issue to me. But it is to a lot of others. I've even seen some people say they've dropped Obey Me because of it. And I get it!! Ruri Tunes is incredibly time consuming (though the devs have clearly stopped caring about that, since non-VIP players can't skip event dance battles in SWD without using devil points), repetitive (as you mentioned, anon, they only have so many songs to use), and not to mention disability unfriendly! If you're going to make it mandatory, at least do something like D4DJ and include an auto mode!! It's like Solmare hates making money or something.

And the worst part about this is that there's genuinely no way to change Ruri Tunes (at least, no ways I can think of) without either making it the center of the game or pushing it to the side entirely. In rhythm games like Bandori or Enstars, you can actually ignore the story and only focus on the songs. You can do this in D4DJ as well, but thanks to the auto mode, you can actually just view the game as a visual novel with a rhythm game mechanic. If the devs were determined to make a full fleged rhythm game in Nightbringer, they should've done something like that. But because they were too afraid to let go of SWD's clunky ass story and gameplay shoved together deal, we got an "evolved" version of dance battles basically... for the worse.

TLDR: Don't mix two drastically different game genres together, unless it was intentional (and advertised as such) from the start. You'll make some people happy, some more people just okay, and a lot more people dropping your game.

#anon im so sorry #ik there are games out there that combine dating sims and “combat” #like sakura wars (2019) (i think. i barely know anything about it) #but those are properly advertised as such #and don't just come out of nowhere #AND DONT HAVE THE FUCKING. DROP THE OG GAME AND ABANDON ITS STORY SHIT #nightbringer's not like other girls #oh my god ive been typing for an hour #uh. #play d4dj #from me #asks #obey me #obey me nightbringer

If you don’t see me or hear from me at all next week this is why. Gonna be grinding day and night to get enough points for the 5* Mika. I will not rest until this card is in my grasp >:{

Also I think one of the funniest things in the world is the fact that Shu is my favourite character and I say that I’m a Shu-P but I have WAY more Mika cards than him. Like my luck with Mika is so much better and it drives me insane!!! Literally the other day I randomly got “in the shadow” Mika while pulling for the “sun kissed ruby” Nazuna…

I wish I was joking. I am rattling my cage bars for just one 5* Shu… pleaaaaaasseeeeee

Anyways wish me luck cause I WILL cry if I don’t ATLEAST get the 4* Shu for this event. Acanthe is one of my fav songs and I’ve been so excited for this event ever since Valk became my fav unit. Plus their outfits for these cards are so cute!!!

#enstars #ensemble stars #enstars mika #enstars shu #mika kagehira #shu itsuki #perennial hermitage #enstars event #also if anyone sees this and also likes Enstars (and is 18+) dm for my friend code!! #I also play Sekai and D4DJ if you wanna add me on those 2!!!

[natsmagi]

user natsmagi have u ever tried getting into d4dj...... ? plesae. i got this random thought in the shower a few days ago and im DYING the d4dj fandom needs more artists THEY HAVE CANON LESBIANS PLEASE

OHHHHH I HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED D4DJ!!! ive never looked into any of the characters though and i dont know anything about the story...!! iirc doesnt the cast feature college aged characters?? bc i feel that demographic doesnt get tackled very often so thatd be very interesting to see!

TBH ive been thinking of occasionally just drawing one big collage of various characters i enjoy outside of enstars (but im lazy and the brainrot is like SO severe) BUT WHO KNOWS!! IF I DO DECIDE TO DO IT MAYBE ILL PICK A D4DJ GIRL I THINK IS CUTE!!! OR MAYBE THE LESBIANS BC GOD KNOWS THEY DESERVE TO BE SEEN!!!

#whenever d4dj ends up on my twt tl im pretty sure its just the lesbian couple being gay #which like. THANK GOD #maybe i will learn about them............. my little crumbs #im so lazy tho #ive also played proseka and hypmic bc duh #but again i am SO clueless abt literally everything #its kinda funny bc im really not an idol guy. i just love rhythm games AKSUHFAKUJSDGK AND THATS HOW I ENDED UP HERE #i didnt even intend to read enstars stories. but like 2 days after i started playing was when the wiki was like #“WE'RE BEING FORCED TO TAKE DOWN OUR TRANSLATIONS” #SO I WAS LIKE!!! FUCK NOW I NEED TO READ IT!!!!!!!! and now here i am. #anyway in hypmic i like jakurai ❤️ apparently hes killed someone. We love men in the medical field #in proseka i like shizuku ❤️ i got her on a “which proseka chara are u” uquiz. ths all i know abt her #and ofc in d4dj i have to side with the lesbians Who do you think i am #ask

I feel like mobile rhythm game players don’t get too much credit for what they’re worth. When u bring up mobile games to someone, they think of the crappy ads and Candy Crush. When u bring up rhythm games, the thing that 90% of the time pops into their head is osu. And when u tell them abt mobile rhythm games, they either assume it’s mediocre or a FNF clone. But let me tell u that mobile rhythm games…are some of the best shit that comes out of the rhythm genre. It’s also somewhat easier yet harder than PC rhythm games. Even if u can just use 2 fingers to clear any song, it still leaves my friends wondering wtf is going on in these. They had so many questions when I brought up the stamina bar. I can’t even describe what they felt when I told them stuff about the gacha, the teams, the extra support stuff (i.e. Bandori= Area items, Love Live SIF AS= accessories), etc. They may need tablets, pens, broken wrists or whatever shit they use, but we are leagues above their brain capacity to focus on more than one thing in rhythm games. Sometimes the live shows in rhythm games feel as if they’re in the background and not the main focus despite what they’re advertising. Basically what I’m saying is don’t be embarrassed bc all u play are mobile rhythm games. Just have fun and don’t let the shitheads saying ur not a true rhythm gamer if u dont play smth like osu get to u. And whenever u want to break their brains, just ask them abt full combos.

#love live sifas #love live sif #bandori #bang dream #project sekai #ensemble stars #d4dj groovy mix #rhythm game #srry if I didnt tag every rhythm game that applies to this statement #these are just the ones I play myself #and am mostly aware that others get shit on for #dont even get me started when I told them abt needing to unlock songs and the story modes #cytus ii #cytus 2

having thoughts about what makes an interesting idol rhythm game

#i can expand upon it but i think its mostly like. what's the gimmick it's using and how is it executing it #like enstars you have the 3d mvs that you can put whoever you want in and have different outfits to put them in #d4dj you have the dj booth layout that you play with and it utilizes it very well #hypmic is a rap based game entirely and also utilizes record scratching imagery in its gameplay #and then proseka and bandori. proseka's gimmick is very obviously like vocaloids #but in the game play its trying to be too many things and failing at all of them #they have some 3d mvs but the layout of the beat maps makes them like #not really. something i notice when i played it. bc the way they have the map layout set up it kinda grays out the video #which means you might as well not have it on. for enstars the lanes are entirely transparent #so you can see the mv clearly as you play if you have 3d mv on u know #and then like. idk the proseka gameplay just feels brutal. #mostly because it times when you lift off the hold notes and literally no other game does this #even games that use goods as combo breakers like hypmic dont fucking do that #also i do appreciate the flick notes in hypmic being just. flick whereever feels natural #helps a lot while playing to just flick whichever way you want #but anyway yeah i think proseka is relying too much on the vocaloid schtick and people just ignore the atrocious game play #like d4dj does straight lane better. hypmic and enstars are both ring lanes that do their gimmicks well #i do not like proseka can u tell #i didnt play enough bandori to really tell u whats going on there but i did not like the layout for their game #and its made by the same people who make proseka so like. no hope for me getting into it #anyway #shay speaks

[citrushomie]

Im gonna be honest I voted other on the poll bc I only play bandori and enstars and bandori legit hurts my thumbs and I didn’t think enstars deserved my vote

bandori hurtsssss and you have so many more fcs than me in bandori for sure soldier i salute you o7 i knew d4dj would be losing bc there is no almost no overlap with it and other mobile idol rhythm game fans i had to vouch for my bestie d4dj gameplay

#asks #i feel like if i keep going ill just be restating what i already say so much bc i dont have super deep opinions on idol rhythm gameplay #but just. bandori and enstars. why are you boring..... look and feel boring to me.... pjsk is at least a little different #d4dj runs with the dj thing i love the slider and discs and it has good songs and chart makers and its losing 🗣📢‼️ #i had a boston cream donut in the fridge and before i wrote this i got it and were in my room and now its like. melting with how hot it is #wgat else. i wish enstars didnt have the showtime in the middle of songs or whatever it makes me fall asleep bc i cant play with 3dmvs #thats it i need to stop thinking abt all these idol games hi may what are your thoughts just about anything 🎤 i think weather should end
