Audition Global

Dance Jam
Anyone heard of it or played it?

Dance Jam Website

looks pretty fun, i am gonna try it (if the webpage ever loads for me.) lol. and if i can register :x

edit: i registered but the client is going at 4kbps :x so it could be awhile. hahaa.

Another generic dancing game, hooray!
That voice saying "perfect!" really annoys me = =
It just looks pretty...samey. How many dance games can you play before they get repetitive? Why make another one when there are so many better ones out there?

On a better note, I do like the look of the characters.

i finally got to play this (the download speed was abysmal, took over 2 days to dl an 800mb client) and i have to say....it was COMPLETELY worth the wait xD the song list is awesome (well, in my opinion), it's about 90% kpop, with DBSK, BoA, Suju, CJSH The Grace, etc. and you're given 100k DJ$ to start, which means you can get any outfit you want and have tons of money left over...the gameplay is really fun once you get the hang of it too, i'm addicted to this game in a way that i haven't been addicted to any game since when i first started playing audition xD so i hope more people will try this game out, it's really really really fun XD

the other awesome thing is, if you play on the broadcasting stage, in the majority of songs you'll see the video for that song playing on the screens behind you xD so i got to drool over the dbsk guys a thousand times already, lmao.

Do the clothes last forever? Because in most games like this I've tried they don't (with the exception of Audition, obviously...)
Edit: (signing up) lmao, why do they want my blood type and star sign? Hmm...time to take a nap while it loads ~_~

yeah, i think they do...i didn't see any time limit, and they aren't that expensive. the only thing is, i think the game is still in closed beta so i don't know if they will wipe eventually from cb to ob...but even if they do....it shouldn't be hard to get the clothes again, i usually get 240-360 DJ$ per game and each clothing item is only like....2.5-4k lol.

let me know when it's done downloading for you, i've been playing against indonesian people and haven't been kicked or anything~ but it'd be nice to play against a go audi person XD

Will do. ...See you on next week! xD

I haven't finished registering yet. If it takes too long to load, it gives me an error so I have to go back and do it again.
And I bet downloading the game will take even longer for me...@_@

x.x i know the site takes really long to load...i don't remember it erroring me when i signed up though....so i hope eventually it goes through for you x.x

the one good thing is, i was worried that since the site and client took SO LONG that the game would be horribly laggy...but i haven't experienced any in game lag thus far XD so that's something positive XD

edit: my first gameplay vid for it finally uploaded XD i did dbsk's o jung ban hap....cause everyone needs more dbsk hawtness in their lives, right? xD

Finally signed up, it kept whining about my game/web ID...
Is your game ID the name of your character in game? Since I kept getting an error about it, I changed it to...something rubbish >.>

And I'm glad it's not laggy :x I mean, I never lag on my own on foreign games but with other people its a different story.

It's downloading! Yay! Estimated time left: 90 hours. Boooo. (Well, it keeps changing, but its all over two days anyway)

Edit: I may as well ask, how do you play then? :3

hehe, it's fine, it took me awhile to figure it out on my own, even with looking at the guide on the site XD

basically, in the center of your screen you'll see 2 bars with blocks of 3 colors: red, blue, and yellow. The bottom bar is what you need to hit immediately to keep your combo, the top bar is a preview of what's coming up after you finish the current bar. In most cases you'll get a break between each bar (like in Audi) but sometimes 2 bars will run together with no pause...you'll know because when there's a break between each bar, the top area will be temporarily blank....if it stays filled, you know that you're not going to get a break between bars.

And to hit the keys, when the indicator moves over the boxes you just hit the right key: for blue boxes you hit space, for red boxes you hit right shift, and for yellow boxes you hit space and right shift together. the boxes are also positioned differently on the bar depending on their type, blue ones are up top, red ones are down at the bottom, and yellow ones cover most of the bar, so once you get used to it, you can pretty much hit them without thinking just based on where they're placed xD

sorry if my explanation is a bit complicated, once you play for yourself you'll see how it works better XD it's actually pretty easy to pick up ^^

edit : i think i remember picking my character name in game xD at the create your character screen.

I think I understand, from watching the video and your explanation...thank you xD

And at the moment the download says 109 hours. D:< I think I'll take a break from the computer, 109 hours is a little too long for me to sit in front of the computer for...:3

lol yeah....i was going crazy waiting for mine to be done....also, are you using a download accelerator? it won't help a lot but it might make it go a bit faster...

I am indeed.
It said 192 hours left a few minutes ago
But I know that the speed might change and the estimated time isn't always completely accurate...
Well, mainly I'm just hoping it's not >_> It's back to 109 hours left, anyway...

yeah, hopefully it will speed up a bit....i've never understood why some games have such slow ftp servers....it's like they WANT people to get frustrated and not download their games XD

I know! It's one of the biggest reasons that I've given up on so many games...If it wasn't the weekend, I would have given up on this, too.
The speed is a bit random at the moment, but it's always pretty slow = =;
