Unless you live in a medium sized NBA arena, the fog machine that comes with it will flood your room anyway. :)

That's what I noticed the most, that they either changed the stage or changed the way lighting works, cause everything is super dark now, it's hard to make out character's faces unless they're in the light. And the UI still looks like it's early, early pre-alpha, the gems don't explode they just kinda *poof* away when hit and, frankly, the notes are ugly, just solid colours with no borders around them to shape them.

Urgh, I want to like this game but the look of it is really turning me off, it's just so unpolished and half-assed. The first game looked better than this, and that was the one where you couldn't tell HOPO's from regular notes.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
You clearly don't want to like the game if a really early build of the way the notes disappear is turning you off. You're telling yourself you want to like it and finding really nitpicky reasons to not like it based off an incomplete product.

I actually got a little stressed watching that video, just imagining myself trying to explain all those different highway backgrounds to people in a party setting haha. Like, my friends never even fully grasped the fact that you don't have to hit the green note at the end of a drum fill. This one's gonna confuse the hell out of them!

Hence all the "It'll sound good no matter what you do!" pitching and design...

...but yeah all the visual language going on in there will probably throw people for a loop and telling them "just ignore it" might not help.

Maybe they need an "easy/party solos" setting that yanks all the suggestions out and leaves it blank like the dev hack?

I wonder if they'll have a "freestyle solos on/off" option, if you want to have the old fashioned solos in the game instead.

I'm looking forward to drum fills, I wonder if they'll have similar freestyle options.

Babe Magnet

Not only will they almost definitely have that option (they had it in 3 with the drum solos), but in the video they briefly talked about having a way for you to decide whether or not you want a custom solo or the authored solo while you're playing the song itself.

Yep, the toggle for authored/freestyle solos is right in the overshell options. You can even change it mid-song if you want to freestyle over one solo but not another.

I'd guess it's because of the disco beat on the hi-hat. That tends to skyrocket the difficulty rating on drums.

if you watch the old custom chart, it's got some really tricky-looking sections

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1-J-Nl9Cyw

I'd probably rank it like 5 dots because the segments aren't really that long and are mostly just fills, but I could see the argument for it being devil heads

They must have used a different mix, I can't see a reason why the source we authored the chart for can remotely be devil heads material.

Disclaimer: I'm not much of a drummer. I play on expert, but most songs in the impossible tier are outside of my ability, particularly anything that is super fast.

There is a disco beat, but the kicks are pretty weird, and the song is just brutal in general. There's one fill in particular that I just kind of look at and laugh. It's definitely not that high just because of a disco beat. Listen to the chorus carefully and you can pick up a bunch of subtle poo poo the drummer's doing pretty well. It's really fun (and I can't pass it).
