>Go through the trouble of downloading and setting up 100GB of arcade data>Immediately stop giving a fuck about it after I set up BMS and figure out it's just 100x better especially music-wiseWhy are the fucking fanmade versions of Bemani games always better it's like this with ITG tooThe only thing you could say is worse about BMS compared to IIDX is less emphasis on scratch but even then it's just barely. The way IIDX handles Hi-Speed and SOFLAN is so atrocious compared to BMS. And beatoraja runs uncapped unlike IIDX where you need a supercomputer to run a 2D game at 120FPS and no higher since it's capped at that
Shit bait. BMS timing is ass cheeks. Charting quality is all over the place. Dead links to all your favorite songs you want to download. Setting offset sucks in BMS. Random crashes. Only saves when you quit the game without crashing.

>>738711201Jesus, that looks terrible.What the fuck happened to Beatmania representing the pinnacle of aesthetics with each and every iteration?
>>738713075The transition to HD eliminated much of the sovl essenceThough some of them still look okayThe last three games probably look the worstHappy Sky is definitely the peak of the series' aesthetics
Is beatoraja good yet?Call me shallow but honestly the biggest appeal of data compared to sims was presentation, but I've also not touched BMS in 10 years and haven't been actively playing IIDX since copula/SINOBUZ
>>738714643LR2oraja Endless Dream is what you wantIt's beatoraja but with LR2 timing windows and in-game song downloading, as well as loading large folders of songs much faster.So beatoraja is not good, but that version of it is the best BMS player by farNote that the default skin ModernChic kinda sucks shit. There's a lot of better options though, best looking one is probably WMIX + WFIX
>>738714784I'll check it out, thanks anon
