On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Ontamarama and 10 being IIDX 14key? I play expert level DJ MAX, so I say come get some.
I SUCK at Project Diva though. Expert is terrifying.

From the videos I've seen it's nowhere near the insanity of IIDX or DJ Max expert.
I would say that it's below Project Diva too seeing that it's not a random spew of button sequences on the screen.

Did you guys see that P4D pre-launch event? There was some guy who almost perfected a super hard song.
I had no idea what was going on but it looked really cool, the notes even disappeared and stuff.

Owning a Vita and not playing DJ MAX is illegal in most of the continental US.

I would love for Rock Band Unplugged to be on the store for the Vita. I love that game.
i'm not bound by your jurisdiction

DJ MAX is the only game I know that sold so many imports that they actually added an English language option to the sequel.

Wait, are you talking about the PSP games or the Vita one?

The very first DJ MAX Portable. Portable 2 had an English language option that fully translated everything, even the missions. Shockingly well, too. This was also in Clazziquai and Black Square.
Clazziquai even had a dub voice when you switched for the missions. Never seen anything like it, probably never will again.
ouendan sold so many imports they made a whole new version for the west!
it bombed!

Moral of the story: stick to what you know. A for effort, though.

Ah alright. I missed out on the PSP so I got into the DJ Max scene pretty late.

Hard is really unforgiving at first, you really can't mess up much. I'm just starting to play tracks on All Night and it doesn't seem as bad as the jump from Normal to Hard.

P4D isn't hard because of the incomprehensible spew of notes that games like Project Diva throw at you, it's hard because they give you so little margin of error. I've read that on the hardest difficulty, missing a mere 4 notes is enough to prevent you from passing, let alone getting a high rank. In that sense, it's sort of like some of the more devilish Ouendan songs that require dead-on precision to pass (like Believe in Ouendan 2 or Jumpin' Jack Flash in EBA).
Yep, and I prefer P4D's method of being difficult compared to Project Diva f's, which is pretty much about rushing to hit as many notes as possible on higher difficulties if you're just looking to pass. There's room for both, though. And modifiers are there in P4D to make the experience all that more interesting for a chance at getting an increased percentage of P$ and score at the end of the song.

Do modifiers affect score?
If it follows the Project Diva model it should just increase the P$ payout.

That's why I've always preferred the Ouendan and Rhythm Heaven series over PD and Beatmania. They rely more on quick reflexes and good rhythmic skills rather than how much visual data you can process in a split second.
Yeah, that's why Ouendan on easy is actually harder for me than on the hardest difficulty, because on easy you need to play by the eye and not by the ear.
I think this is also why I play P4D with the note speed on 7. The default speed of 4 is good, but I perform way better when the notes move quickly so I can interpret them better in rhythm with the music. The note speed of 1 is so sluggish that I feel like I need to pay attention to the notes way more than the music.
There's a modifier which is absolutely crazy (well, they kind of all are) that makes the notes move at an absurdly slow speed in a way that a whole bunch become stuck together on the screen. +10% score and +150% P$ for that one.

Modifiers affecting scores is pretty cool - not something I'm aware of other games doing. In DJ Max all the modifiers do is make it more humiliating when you lose to someone using them in a vs match.
How many can you put on at any time? Could you use all challenge modules or is it limited to 2/3 maximum?

Any number you want as long as what they do don't contradict each other. Same for power ups. Items from the "Power Up" column (except for one) will reduce the percentage of your score and the P$ you get at the end of a song. "Game Settings" will do the opposite.
Any number of items from both columns can be selected to adjust the way you want to play, adjusting your score and P$ variable accordingly. I can set up 6 modifiers for a +40% score and +410% P$ bonus; I can set up all the power ups minus the one to get a -70% score and -150% penalty; or I can mix both for a -30% to score and +260% to P$.

They'll probably upload it. Why not, its free advertisement after all.
Expect it in like 3 weeks or something.

I think PV 2 will remain bluray exclusive and we'll get a different trailer soonish.
how i change note speed
It's cheaper than import it, not bad. I'll probably do it, thanks.
Edit: I guess I can't use my actual credit card and I have to buy prepaid cards, can I?

Been listening to the P4D soundtrack, and man, the remixes of Reasoning, Who's There and Borderline of Madness are all amazing.
I imagine that you can't actually dance to any of these songs of course, but rather they play during the game's story.

Combo seems to be the main factor that determines score. In order to clear a song, you need to end it with the indicators at the top being at least green.
ah, i keep tripping up in the last 30 seconds so that's probably why its wrecking my indicators
