timing is off?

Okay. The button press and sound effects are off-rhythm in this game.

Now... I like rhythm games, I play piano, and I think I have a fair sense of timing - my roommate, a drummer who's far better at keeping time than I am, agrees. Despite all that, I suppose it's possible we're both wrong, or we're just not that good at this game.

But. I feel like the button presses just aren't syncing with the music. Like the notes are just sort of awkwardly shifted towards falling a little before or a little after the beat - videos of other people playing (like this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMdXOSdIUm4)) make me suspect that it isn't just me.

So what's the deal? Why don't the notes seem to line up with the beat?

You're definitely correct, and it seems intentional. I too come from a very musical background. Also, you can tell really clearly when Auto Pilot is on.

I agree that there is a bit of an issue with timing. I find myself not paying attention to the arrows themselves and just focus on the music, and that grants scores that are generally perfect. Going for the arrows, though, is futile.
