Quoted from bub2010:I've mentioned in the PAPA thread that I found some games I never thought would be great are and others that are rated high and perceived great....not so great. I personally like LOTR better than MM for a sort of similarly themed game. I tend to like less popular tables regardless of price. Part of going to PAPA was to see what I thought of XX game. To each his own.
Exactly. Although I've been a fan of MM (among others) since it came out (played a super-restored MM when I bought my WPT--it was so smooth it played like a video game version), some highly-ranked games just don't make my list of games I want to play, much less own (TZ and STTNG at the top of this list). OTOH, games like WPT and Mars Trek are killer imo; SST is another fave. Many people won't even consider these. I also love classic Stern games, with cool layouts and drop targets everywhere. And I am not a fan of all the cookie-cutter "fast" fan layouts that are ommon these days; many people want nothing but this type of game. I love EMs and SS games with odd layouts and interesting ball dynamics.
So yeah, to each their own.
