Sound Voltex Exceed Gear PC (コナステ) review

[@Neardayo]

song packs are expensive af tbh

[@xChallengeAcceptedx]

Yeah I told myself I'll just buy a pack a month until I have them all. Seems manageable that way.

[@riewo]

*laughs in iidx 50 dollar packs*

[@bdown_hbunz]

As soon as I get $200 saved, and a few months to wait after, I'm getting a controller to play sdvx cloud on pc. Started playing not too long ago and I've just been hooked on it! I only have one video playing on keyboard and it's SOOOOOO weird feeling

[@JessePaark]

What controller did you get

[@khetchup]

Kinda crazy how they went from gravity wars right to exceed gear blew my mind when I found out

[@atlasvoidx]

All I really need now to fully enjoy it is a rotating monitor stand. It's such an amazing upgrade. I just have to wait cause I don't have the money for the subscription or a new monitor stand rn so I'm just playing kshoot mania

[@atlasvoidx]

The cabinet at my round one is so poorly managed , two of the buttons don't light up anymore and the knobs are very loose and wobbly

[@helmnobu]

both round1 locations where I live in the US now have two VM cabs, and it is amazing. hopefully they get better maintenance than the old cabinets.

[@RsVs2304]

the things you said about cabinets in america applies even more in Australia, i live in a rural town and i only think i have ever been to an arcade once and it was just ticket machines.

[@Hay1tsme]

My only real gripes with it are cost of the song packs ($650 for all songs, plus con, plus $15 a month is a bit daunting...), the fact that you can't use it to unlock songs on AC anymore, and no multiplayer. Other then that, I agree there really is 0 reason to go to an arcade if you only want to play Voltex. From what I hear it even plays/works better then the D word haha

[@sespis2r]

Theres song packs? How do you get them?

[@basilgaming313]

the konaste version is optimized to work for regular pcs. the D word is made specifically for arcade cabinets, which ofcourse would make konaste better.

[@nateranda]

iirc for the old version of sdvx cloud there were a couple songs given to infinite course members every month that aren't in any song packs, is there any way currently to get those songs again? Also, what is my best course of action if I want to play the 19s and 20s without spending a ton of money on the song packs? Thanks a ton for the review

[@svkitten926]

I've heard people (like neardayo) have considered getting groups of people to all chip in for a monthly sub with all the packs? I'd look around to see if anyones willing to share an account with packs for cheaper Regarding the infinite course songs, I don't think they're available right now (azaela/reverenced flower/bayonex/etc) but konami will eventually reactivate the event

[@Hstudiosproductions]

Are Arena Points available on pc?

[@gaalxystar1873]

It's insane how we can use valkyire effect and s critical on 60fps at the home version now...

[@mr.thammisses6119]

how do you buy the subscription? It just keeps taking me in circles and it wont let me pay for the pass?

[@rexerdouble]

if you purchase sound packs do you still need to pay the monthly subscription to play?

[@dubstep298_tetradct]

yes

[@colli_n]

yo how do i connect my yuancon to it

[@tonydiazist]

but how do you get it???

[@xuanbachpham9752]

All I need now is they unlock the EAC version for international account (Non-Japan account). And I want BEMANI to come to Vietnam.

[@MadMageddon]

Question, do you have to have a subscription to link ur account?

[@akyura00]

the omori soundtrack gave me chills XD

[@gamerelt3246]

Can I ask some problem...? I discovered that I cannot safely download the SDVX Exceed Gear exe file Do we have a proper way to deal with this problem?

[@MooncakePuff]

it’s a false positive

[@sweetgenius933]

it's a false positive, don't worry

[@Vincus]

Is there any disantvantage if you play on PC? Also how can you unlock the other modes like light and blaster start? right now I only have Skill analyzer and Normal start

[@gaalxystar1873]

On the pc verison there Is no hexa driver, omega dimension, and blaster gate. Your only option is to buy song packs which is expensive but worth it imo

[@incongruous4]

If you don't stream yourself playing then there's really no reason to play official version over a cracked hdd rip. Cracked ver has all 1700+ songs, all navigators and all current arcade content unlocked from the get go and even has muliplayer. Best of all it's free. But again, legally iffy so don't livestream yourself playing it or go around talking about it in some circles.

[@covershade3660]

@@incongruous4 you mind giving me a start on where to get this?

[@Vincus]

where can you get this version?

[@RealSkyDiver2]

@@incongruous4 there is NO cracked version idiot because it’s an online game -.- you’re talking about unnamed sound voltex clone and all the songs on it are hand charted, not direct rips

[@sampletext02]

Yeah, it's cool to have the game whenever you want, but paying what I believe is over 600 USD to have every song available is ridiculous. It really spoils what would otherwise be a really great game for a lot of people.

[@svkitten926]

It's a fair point, but a counter point is that even if it seems pricy, if one is serious about getting into the game then it is far cheaper than paying credits at an arcade. USC and KSM converts aren't a bad option. There's also a lot of songs that are unlocked by default, the only stuff that's locked behind paywalls is omega dimension/hexa.

[@FlamingGnats]

Can I ask how you stream/ record the game and make it watchable for people with the game being in portrait rather than landscape?
