Since I don’t really have any time to devote myself to one shooter these days, I tend to play Bemani games, if I find maybe 30mins in the evening to play videogames.

I’m not really good at these type of games, but I find them very enjoyable for some reason. So after a few weeks of not playing, today I finally played some Beatmania IIDX again (6th style). IIDX is one of the most brutal games ever created, it seems like the ultimate challenge to me. If you thought it was difficult to get into Ibara, try playing IIDX, you won’t clear anything even after hours and hours of playing.  Seeing Rubbinnexx clearing V on Expert at some german Bemani meeting was one of the most impressive feats I ever saw.

So for myself, I finally got the Clear on Colors (Radio Edit) on Light7 today and cleared my first two diff 6 songs on Arcade mode. Right now I’m missing maybe 4-5 Clears on Light7 and everything on Arcade with diff 6 and above is simply ripping me apart. Right now I’m only playing for the Clears, getting an A or better is just not my cup of tea. I can’t see myself getting any better at this game, but I guess it’s all about persistence and willpower again. This game is just so much fun, I’ll just keep playing it till forever.

Regarding Dance Dance Revolution, I can now consistenly get a B on Max 300 (no bar, of course), but I’m not really motivated to jump around when it’s like 30°C outside.

EDIT:

Just got a Full Combo on Starmine Light7, yay.
