Drained for the P3 should be added to the list.

Quoted from Aurich:

I'll probably never play one, I don't think I know a soul who owns a P3 and I find the entire LCD screen concept somewhat baffling all these years later, I've never once actually enjoyed playing on it.

Ayce Gogi in West Hills has a Weird Al. Might be time to give the P3 another chance, there's a lot of creative people working on games for it.

Quoted from Aurich:

I just fundamentally don't believe in the concept of the P3. I've played it multiple times, multiple games, and nothing has ever changed my mind.

Fair enough, it's not for everybody. I really like the P3. I have had great fun with the games I have played, there is a great community of people around it and I love that it allows anyone to create games for it.

Quoted from Aurich:

The graphics are what they are, some are okay, a lot are ...look they're mostly not great, let's not pretend otherwise.

I guess if blockbuster 3D video game style graphics are your thing then you are going to be disappointed but I love some of the artwork and graphics that people are starting to create for the P3. Nick's latest game shows the kind of quirky and niche artwork styles that games for the P3 can support because they don't have to appeal to everybody. For me, having a playfield LCD means you have a larger canvas on which to create graphics.

Quoted from Aurich:

The real issue is I just don't want to be flipping over an LCD. I don't like it. It's not why I play pinball. I have a garage full of arcade games, I own gaming PCs and consoles, I can play video games whenever I like. When I play pinball I'm there for the kinetic, analog, physical experience.

Again, I'm actually the opposite, I find non-P3 pinball boring now because I find that I don't become immersed in the game as much as I do when playing the P3 and the options for exploring the narrative of the game are so much more limited without the interactive playfield display. This is probably what I find most exciting about the potential of the P3, it is so much easier to communicate a story that a player can become involved in (and also to tell the player how to progress through that story). This means that types of pinball games which can be created for the P3 are much more diverse and the goals of a game can become about so much more than just scoring points.

Anyways, that's just how I feel about it, I certainly don't expect everyone love the platform like I do. In fact, I have sold all my non-P3 games. If you have tried it and don't like it that's fine, I just think it's a shame when people (not you) dismiss it outright without first getting to know the system a bit.
