Was this the highest point of the genre?

As long you're referring to 3.95, then yes.
StepMania5 a shit.

My friend is obsessed with the Miku Playstation games. To me, as an old school Stepmania and DDR fan, it's whack shit. I guess I just couldn't keep up with the genre, because it looks fucking retarded to me. I used to AAA plenty of songs on heavy, but this new stuff is all over the place.

>>376426558

I'm still on 3.something because the newer ones are an incompatible direct X mode with my designated DDR computer (old graphics card with S-Video out for a CRT)

I was thinking about getting the new versions and moving my DDR setup to my flatscreen. What's so bad about 5?

>>376426558
Basically this. Any stepmania post 3.95 is an abomination. Sound synchro fucking sucks and also multiplayer.

Themes > Usability
Nut then none of the themes ever made it out of beta either and all the SSC cunts who highjacked Stepmania for their theming bullshit left.
A few of them had high-profile tantrums over the fact that no one cared about anything post 3.95.

>>376426895
I can also attest to this, the sysreqs for the same damn game increased more than tenfold, Stepmania5 needs a reasonbly modern machine to play in sync, 3.9 plays on my old G3 iMac...

I miss my Stepmania days
Playing heavy and oni songs on a dance pad was fun

I guess because 3.95 was perfect?

Nothing left to improve.

What is the best way to play this? Played at an arcade once and been in love ever since.

personally I just play it on PSP. You could hack a wii and import the taiko controller, but i heard it's not that good for advanced players.

>>376427964
we can only hope that the Switch version is good

>>376427309
Can't wait for taiko on the switch. Only used stepmania for finger mashing stepcharts and C650 speed.

I wanted to play with the drum controller. Looks like I'm shit out of luck unless I get rich overnight and import the arcade cabinet.

I think Bamco doesn't sell them either, only rent. You'd have to go second hand and hope it won't break down in a week.

Welp. I can always learn the real thing, I guess.

If you tolerate keysounded arcade music games that run on windows, you don't have good rhythm.
