Quoted from Mathazar:After more than a year since the last code update, and all the chatter and build-up since then, this is a bit underwhelming to me. Nice they added a ball save to Black Castle but this code drop is just being driven by the desire for Stern to add the Insider Connected feature and generate another revenue stream (with a couple of fixes and tweaks thrown in). The pessimist in me says that if it wasn't for the Stern Insider Connected feature, there wouldn't be a code update for SOR. Could you imagine the outrage if a new SOR code drop included ONLY the Stern Insider Connected feature?
Would love to be proven wrong....perhaps this is a restart of more regular SOR updates?
I for one am happy to see something come along with the insider connected feature. Honestly, I think enough people are interested in that feature that they could have easily gotten away with just adding it. The game is old (in the world of Pinball) now and so any attention is more than welcome as far as I'm concerned.

Quoted from Cheeks:Why is this game not well thought of?
I know licensed themes vs not, but most of what I see suggests this game is one of the lesser Sterns in recent years.
I had sort of written it off, but played a Prem at a friends a couple months ago and liked it. I found a really nice Prem for a good deal and took a flyer. Holy Shit this game is fun.
It’s hard and kicking my ass, but damn it is such a rush. Playing it way more than everything else recently.
Personally, I think the licensed themes vs. not is the biggest reason the game didn't sell well. If it was reskinned as "Star Wars" or something and the black knight was replaced with Darth Vader, and you battled enemies like Darth Maul or Boba Fett instead of the Hydra and Sand Worm -- I think it would have sold better. But honestly, I don't care how well it sold. I absolutely love it just the way it is. I personally love the fact that it's not a licensed theme. I enjoy the rockin' music from Scott Ian. I love the call outs. I love the enemies. I could go on and on. But owning it, Godzilla, Alien and Star Wars -- it's typically the favorite of guests I have coming over.

Quoted from NickBuffaloPinball:I'd say more, but I don't want to ruin the disappointment for anyone to experience first hand.
