is this game better on a DS or pc? i wana make sure before i play it on here.

[MetalFoxy TheKiller]

anyone?

I only played on PC but I think they're basically the same content-wise except there's more costumes on DS, but just pointless seasonal ones or something. Nevertheless I'd still recommend PC because ♥♥♥♥ consoles.

so on the DS u get more items?

I know that the PSP lacks the rhythm bar that's present in the PC version, but I don't know whether the DS has it.

[MetalFoxy TheKiller]

hmm.. psp.. that brings back memories. but i just wanted to know if pc has more stuff in it

[Quint the Alligator Snapper]

PC version is definitely better than PSP version.

I don't know about DS, that's the thing.

Also you can mod the PC version, if that's a thing you're into.

[MetalFoxy TheKiller]

modify? o.o er, im not tech savvy :(

I believe the main differences between the two are graphics and controls, I'm gonna assume you mean 3DS when you say "DS" as this game as far as i know never received a DS port. I played and beat the 3DS version. Just like the PSP version the 3DS version lacks the rhythm bar, i don't know why as they could have put it on the bottom screen. Graphics are definitely lower compared to the PC version but still looks good other than the choppy character animations, Controls are just as good as PC as long as you're playing on the "NEW 3DS" on the base model 3DS you wouldn't have free camera movement so i can imagine it wouldn't feel as good. as far as levels go they both have the same amount of levels, as for outfits i wouldn't know as i didn't bother collecting them when playing.

i have a 2DS xl

[Dan The Man]

The 2DS XL works good too since it has the C stick the game uses for free camera movement. Also the 3DS version keeps a solid framerate too, i'm guessing it runs at 30FPS, aside from the choppy character animations i mentioned earlier it runs pretty smooth, Though for some reason it costs 5$ more then the PC version. I bought both versions of the game when they were on sale two months ago.

I've heard that the PC version also runs at 30 fps and someone made a mod to make it run at 60 fps.

I heard that too, i can never seem to tell much of a difference between 30FPS and 60FPS when i play games, but i do use MSI afterburner to monitor FPS when playing games and it shows the game running at 60FPS, Steams built in FPS monitor does too so maybe the game was updated at some point.

Haha, you too? Same here. I got people yelling at me for not being able to see such an "obvious" difference, last time I said that.

I suppose it's more apparent for polygon-based games, but for sprite-based games, which constitutes a significant chunk of what I play, it's less of an issue.

ohh so i guess the 2DS xl version and the pc version are the same huh. so it doesnt rlly matter?

Or alternatively, it could be a fake 60 FPS, like the game Zwei: Ilvard Insurrection uses (although that was done by a different publisher). In that game, the programmer fudged 60 FPS by having the game duplicate it's 30 FPS.

So with that fudging in place, FPS counters, like the ones you cited, report that you are getting 60 FPS, even though you are only actually getting 30 FPS.

To be clear: I'm not sure that Gurumin is doing the same thing. I don't know either way if it is or not.

But my point in this post is: just because FPS counters list 60 FPS, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are truly getting 60 FPS. In cases like the one I just described, you are getting 30 FPS which is nevertheless misrepresented by your FPS counters as being 60 FPS, even though it really isn't.
