Yeah, they are rating Anothers in Happy Sky. And some of those are ass-destroying.MonMotha wrote:Do realize that Happy Sky re-rated everything on a scale out of (IIRC) 12. So a 7 on happy sky isn't a 7 star "rape me up the ass with a pineapple" that you might expect to find on an older version, and don't even get me started on flashing 7s/8 stars...
Of course, the old scale changed a bit, too, as time went on. Pretty much all the Bemani games have done this. An average 35 on pop'n music 12 is notably harder than the average 35 on pop'n 8. I'm pretty confident IIDX has done this as well. That said, there's supposedly a few songs on the newer IIDX versions that NOBODY has passed on 14k Another.
The US version apparently uses the Happy Sky rating system, rather than the old one. I've been told that at least Happy Sky is now rating anothers, too. Then again, most people interested in beatmania USA won't be playing another difficulty for a LONG time

I must say, that part ammused me. Hehe, round keys...IGN wrote:Things might have been a bit easier were the keys simply circles instead of rectangles, helping to separate the look of the controller from a keyboard a little more.

He's obviously playing it on beginner or at the most maybe some 2-3 stars on L7 if 30 notes is at all significant. His complaint about randomly placed notes matches this. Especially on beginner mode and really easy L7, some of the notecharts are stripped down so much that they don't really make sense anymore. The problem is that playing 7k is, well, difficult. I'll admit that IIDX notecharts do sometimes have oddly placed notes - perhaps he'd prefer Pop'n style notecharts more. IIDX seems to concentrate on placing parts on keys in a manner that would be like setting up a synth board, while pnm tends to just create notecharts that are designed to be fun while still keysounding things (but in patterns that don't always make sense from a keysound point of view).IGN Review wrote:...you can literally skip the first thirty notes, nail the last section of the song and wind up passing the track.
