Quoted from RGR:lol for a bunch of so called pinheads I find it hard to understand how you could whinge about this game considering that has so much more than any DMD Stern ever released.
"having so much more" does not necessarily mean it's fun. For that, we'll have to wait and see. As I've already cited, TSPP probably "has more" than any other stern and most williams, and the game is not at all fun.
Great rules can transcend a crappy playfield(LOTR) and that is something that will not be determined until this game gets explored and played.
LOTR playfield is actually quite good and has lots of flow + difficult shots. Both ramps flow to the flippers as does the ring shot when mode start is not running. The orbits can also flow, depending on situation.
The Invisiglass can be purchased separately. I also think the LCD "may" add some glare and that is why I ordered a piece of it along with my Standard version. If there is no glare, I can use that piece of glass in another machine.
I realize that PDI markets this as non glare glass. But its really not. It's ultra clear and the machine looks like it has no glass. But bright light from the backglass and DMD glare *just as much* as regular glass. It's not for glare prevention. The colors and overall view of the machine pops and looks amazing, though so don't think it's useless. You want it
I figured they added the invisiglass to the LE because they found the glare was bad. But what about the non-LE machines?
I think they did it because they really want to provide huge value to the collectors. That's what JJP has been all about from the start. I doubt there'll be many mods for this game. It'll come loaded.
I'm in on WOZ and am excited by what I see overall for this game. I am however expressing an opinion that when I look at the playfield layout, in my head, I'm seeing TSPP layout. Add to that the designer is the same one for both games
Yea, exactly right. Not only the designer, but the programmer. Basically the design *team*. I am pretty excited for WoZ but knowing that I despise TSPP finding it absolutely miserable and no fun, I hope I'm not disappointed by WoZ.
I am positive that if you truly wish to bail now, Jack will accept that decision and refund your money.
I am very worried, but not planning to bail. Hoping that I can sell off a HUO almost new LE for close to what I paid after playing it a bit if I hate it. Of course, if I do play one somewhere and hate it before mine arrives, I will try selling off my spot then.
Given that there has been nothing good since 2003 (LOTR) and for about 15 years excluding that game
This is an absolutely ridiculous statement. Spiderman is absolutely loaded with toys, flow, and some of the best rules ever in any pinball game. Elvis (I sure hate the theme) has a ton of flow, ton of toys, all metal ramps, nothing is cheap on that pin. Pirates is another game loaded with toys and definitely not made on the cheap end (unfortunately not much flow). Tron is extremely fast, fun, and a great looking machine. Haven't seen ACDC premium in person yet, but it sounds like it's actually great also.
I would fully expect a stop and go game. Easy to understand, easy to shoot and telling an easy to follow story line with a final setting on that left mini-playfield. Again, assisted by that big a** TV screen, which, I believe, for 95% is not showing information for the player.
Pretty good point. I guess they actually *want* a stop-and-go game to really show the LCD off. Otherwise, (like a DMD) you will hardly notice it. At least JPOP is putting his LCD in the playfield area which indicates you can expect some flow still. I wonder how future JJP games will run. Nordman is pretty good with flow. Whitewater, demo man have great flow.
