How do you feel about the use of hands in ITG?

J. S. Mill

The last two options will be counted together, they are just different reasons. Poll follows:

I like Queen of Light and Twilight. They're fun songs.

Although I don't play them too often (due to many reasons such as poor sensors, etc.), they are a good idea. They're crazy fun and there definitely should be more of those songs.

Perhaps you can have easier songs that utilize hands too.

Hands are always a neat little thing to find in a stepchart. At least there aren't songs that are 100% hands. I like what RoXoR's done thus far.

Hands are what made me fall in love with ITG and i think it is important for Roxor to use more hands because it is so unique to ITG and makes ITG better then DD Argh! although ITG needed more hands, it seems like ITG 2 needed ALOT more hands. So i hope in ITG 3 they will add more =)

Hands are SO fun!!! I'm always looking for a song with alot of hands in it. I think there should be a little more in the game. But not too many more cause I would hate it if they got over used, cause than they wouldn't be fun anymore

Hands can be pretty fun, but sometimes, they can get a bit weird. Still, I do think they're much better than those dreaded mines that are too common and usually screw things up, especially when you're at home with the stupid corner buttons.

A player is considered good in my opinion when a player of a higher level comments about you or see's you triple A a song. Or if somebody looks up to you. Hope it clarifies.

They're fun but they read kinda poorly and if it's a hold it's nearly imposible to keep.

I find hands to add a very fun dimension to the game (even though I'm not very good at them).

They are one of the few things that make In The Groove unique for me compaired to DDR. I love them, they are "different".

I love hands. I also hate playing them. Why? Because almost all arcade owners suck at paying attention to the condition of the ITG machine, and you get 87 misses for every hand you hit.

I just don't like the whole concept of hands, I think they should be removed.

I think hand-heavy songs are a lot of fun, and for the people who don't like them, is it really reasonable to want them completely removed? There are very few songs themed around them and only a few scattered through other songs as it is.

LOL. As you can plainly see, I would definately like to see more hands used in ITG.

I think hands are a good idea, but it's way to easy to BS them with your feet. I'd like to see Roxor find a way to make people actually hit them with their hands. Until then, they might as well not be in the game.

Well, even if people BS them with their feet, it still forces a slightly different gameplay mechanic. As for forcing people, AFAIK, only doubles mode has been able to do that. Rolls were a sort of OK idea but I'd honestly like to see them replaced with a PIU-style hold. I imagine that would make it more difficult to BS hands in a double hold.

Could you explain the PUI holds? I haven't seen them.

Synaesthesia · Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2006 1:24 pm Post subject:

They're holds that increase your combo as you hold them (by like 1/8 notes of the song, or some other factor I'm not familiar with). Completely missing a PIU hold is like insta-fail (IIRC, you can hit the hold in the middle of it as the front has already passed so you don't lose the entire combo).

I voted that they're doing a solid job with them, but I want more hands. They're loads of fun.
