For those that have played JPOTC, how did the shots feel? Was the right ramp a feel good shot or more of nuisance since it goes to an upper pf everytime? What about left ramp, how’d that feel? Orbit shots? Upper flipper?

What If you have two games and only room for four, And have a budget of $15,000. Then, do you consider JPOTC?

DI + POTC seems like it will be a great combo. DI for flow and depth. And POTC for an unorthodoxed layout with stacking and breadth.

The bottom line is this...

So $500 from $10k for invisiglass, shaker, star consulation lighting, & color changing GI is not much of an exaggeration especially if shipping is not included.

Now $1500 (+shipping?) for the standard could be considered an exaggeration of $10k.

I’m trying my hardest to budget $10k to Pinball next year as I bought no pins in 2017. I really want a JJP game back in the lineup, but if I flex my budget just a little I could get an SW PRO + AC/DC pro. $8500 JJP gives me the option for a $2k SS pin which actually would be cool too, but hard to beat 2 stern pros IMO. This all heresay for now personally until the budget is balanced for my 4-pin lineup

This is probably not the thread but how do you like the hyperdrive? Personally, I really enjoy it but there’s a big BUT for me on it. The LE I played was a very clunky shot and bricked a lot. And unfortunately, on the videos I’ve seen of the shot dialed in and working smooth as butter from either flipper (which looked awesome), also had a few ball traps behind the fork ramp which resulted in having to wait for a ball search. So there’s two battles in this design, one is consistency and flow of the actual shot; and the other is ball traps with ball searches.

To stay on JPOTC topic; I’m not too bummed about the lack of movie audio queues, but I do hope they get A supporting role of audio to accompany Gibbs.

I'd love to see a stream of some players who understand the rules and actually blow the game up. I watched almost all of the rage tilt replay and it was painful watching only because every player that stepped up to the game, was their first time playing and it showed. As a positive to that stream, I found more enjoyment listening to the bearded brothers and lady (sorry forgot your names, watched the stream replay a week ago ) - but I did thoroughly enjoy the commentary and interviews especially from the girl, dammit I forgot her name was it Beck? Lol sorry

Anyway; game looks gorgeous and it does look fun. I just want to see someone stretch it's legs and show us what it can do. And I agree with others, it seems like a supporting narrative actor is needed, whether it be a barbosa type actor, female pirate, or jack sound alike.

All in all, I think we as potential hopefuls need to give it a little more patience, let it bake a little more in the oven and see what eric, jack, Keith and crew can do with this when it does finally release. It's still beta and testing guys and gals.

subscribed. looking forward to it.

So completely hypothetically speaking; after listening to the head2head interview with Eric (which was amazing btw) - it’s my thought that a lot of R&D, labor hours, programming, and $ are invested in the spinning disk toy. So for you guys that wish there were more licensed assets like the sound track and/or movie clips here’s a nice little would you rather:

Would you rather have that money spent on the licensed theme music and some of the movie clips with no spinning disk toy - instead just regular pf artwork in that spot. Or.....would you rather keep the spinning disk toy in all its glory with 200+ rewarding gameplay features and ball interaction and no additional license assets?

Me? I’d rather have the latter (keep the disk). In the end, gameplay rules and how the theme is integrated are all that matter to me. I believe they can (and will) integrate the theme very well without all these license assets a lot of people are complaining about.

And Eric, if you’re reading - house Martell sucks, it’s a grind and is even a little more riskier when lighting essential HOTK houses; house Tyrell and I’d even argue Baratheon is where it’s at of course, Greyjoy is always challenging and can be used for a nice 15+ bil game but that house is big risk/ big reward! Can’t wait to play JJPOTC, it’s on my radar and looks stellar - would love to get one, I just hope I can find room in my pocketbook

I just got to watch some of the test stream on jjplive. Watching and hearing this game be played by people who know the rules, looks amazing! And for those concerned about the music license, no worries - David Thiel nailed it...sounds intense, energetic, and not as repetitious as the theme music - in fact the main pin theme music sounds like the main movie music taken to another level. If I had to criticize anything, it would be that another supporting sound character next to Gibbs would help.

Otherwise, this thing looks great - can’t wait for Wednesday’s stream; and so glad JJP is going to have one or two of these in CA next month for arcade expo - look forward to playing after watching the tutorial. Well done and keep up the hard work JJP.

I've probably watched 3 hours of streaming between the buffalo crew and ragetilt on this game. I saw more of this pin in 5-10 mins that Eric played in the test stream than I ever did in any of those 3 hours. We will be in for a treat for sure on Wednesday. I'm not going to spoil any of the cool stuff I enjoyed, but I will leave by saying 'Arrrrrrrr'.
