Let's not throw things down RoXor and Redoctane's throats!

IMO - RoXor/RedOctane did an excellent job doing this for us. We need to quit doggy about loading times ... errors ... this and that ... come on guys ... give RoXor and RedOctane credit and kudos for the job that they did! They are great! How do you think it makes them feel to come onto here and read everyone doggy about their product that they worked their asses off to create. Do you really think it's going to inspire them to bring out future PS2 releases for us? I'm not saying that RoXor/RedOctane shouldn't know about the bugs in the game, because they most certainly should to help them in the future, but poopy .... let's not throw it down their throats.

Instead of saying "The loading time SUCKS ...." .... you could say "Hey RoXor/RedOctane .... the loading time on this game is rather poor, and I think in future releases it would be beneficial to find a work-around to solve this issue"

Instead of saying "This game sucks because all of the music is censored" ... you could say "Hey RoXor/RedOctane" ... we don't like how the music is messed up because of censorship, and I think on future releases it would be beneficial to up the rating a bit to bring us the original music rather then censored music"

These are just a couple of the most common complaints .... there are quite a bit more .... but it's pointless to doggy about it ... if you want future ITG releases for PS2, then help RoXor and Redoctane with their errors, rather then slamming poopy down their throat.

Once again ... this is MY view ... MY opinion ... I'll probably get flamed for it ... but quite frankly I don't care

.... Also please note, this is not intended for any certain individual. Thanks.

So, in other words, you're saying a really horrible game like In the Groove PS2 can seem really good if you overlook all the bad stuff about it.

Sure, Conan for NES had you press the down button to jump, had disgusting monster design, terrible graphics and sound (even for that era) and luck-based fights against bosses, but other then that it was pretty good!

There really isn't anything that hurts the gameplay, the arrows look good, and the movies look good, and it's very fun to play. The movies in the background also don't effect your vision on the arrows, which is one of the problems some of us have when we play DDR (Trip Machine is one of them).

Setting that aside, this is a very good chance for RedOctane and RoXor to see the flaws in the game, and fix them if they end up coming out with ITG2 for PS2 in the future. It does NO good to sit there and complain about the game left and right ... if you don't like it, that's fine ... but what good does it really do you to come into a forum and say 'ITG SUCKS BECAUSE THIS AND THAT.'

This is their first PS2 game, and I really look forward to seeing another one.

Well the save corrupt thing doesn't bother me because I'm not a score whore... haha

See they have provided a code to unlock everything again in the event that the save is corrupted... or I'm at some friends house and forgot the memory card...

Anyway about the censorship... who cares? It's just a few words that really don't effect that gameplay at all... so STFU and play ITG!

I think people have been making a largely fair evaluation of the game, so I really don't think a "Calm down everyone!" thread like this was really needed. It's always the people that have problems that vocalize the most, and by and large, the problems haven't been a big deal. The load times are surprisingly long, but they don't bother everyone, and some of the people that are bothered by it don't really have any other reason to complain.

So, I guess, basically what I'm saying is - This isn't as big of a deal as you think it is, so don't worry about calming people down.

People, calm down. In the Groove for the PS2 is AWESOME. Sure, it has really long loading times. But honestly... it is quite obviously WORTH IT. The game is fun. Fun, people. Isn't that why we wanted this game in the first place? We got what we wanted! I'm happy!

And you guys should be too.

Hold on. That assessment wasn't unfair in the slightest. I'm not saying In the Groove is bad, but it's not fair to say that people can't or even shouldn't complain about the things that ARE wrong with it.

It was fair for people to complain about the problems that plagued DDR Extreme US, so why is it not fair on THIS arcade port?

And as far as I've read, the majority of the people here haven't been saying "This game sucks," so bluntly. And the people that do have valid complaints. Why is it fair for you to say how much you like the game and NOT fair for other people to express contrasting opinions on it? I think that's awfully lop-sided if you ask me.

Because the fact of the matter is, with all the delays that Roxor had in releasing the title, they had plenty of time to get things right, so if they make such glaring errors, I think it's perfectly alright for people who have shelled out 50 bucks to voice their complaints about it. I think YOU'RE the one that's being unfair by telling anyone that doesn't agree with you that they should just keep their mouths shut and listen to what you have to say.
