Quoted from kpg:

How long have you owned it for?
I'll tell you, for 3 months straight I loved it.. put hundreds of plays on it between my wife and I. I had a lot of fun playing it, but I kept thinking how much better I'd love it when the code matures. Then I saw the code wasn't maturing, but causing frustrating bugs - then another update would fix those bugs and introduce more.
Once I realized that the code that shipped on it was pretty much done and that was that, I started to realize just how shallow of a game it is and it wore off very quickly after that. Well, that and the fact the dumbass Slimer mech stopped working half the time.
But really, is a killer game - but the longevity of the code is very weak which loses its luster quicker than other games. IMO of course!

i'm on your side with most of your ideas...

let's just admit that your analyse about GB is for sure (how could it be different ?) biased by all the probs you get with this pin, your love for it was going from very positive to just... hate it

my situation was much less critical than yours, but at the begining i'd also lost faith when i see that my (1st) GB was ghosting... i was very disappointed
than not sure if i have to accept a refound or a new swaped GB, finally goes for that 2nd choice because my positive feeling was good about the overall game (including initial code which was already "advanced") and win against the fact to simply forget all about that pin

than i have to resolve all the small gameplay tweaks (which was easy)
and than for now, only the not finished code seems to remain my only frustration (i'm one of the most active here to push D in the back ! lol), but even if i had doubt and quite get my GB being swaped these last weeks, i've finally not did it because again, got faith on something was coming
and yes it came ! not may be still what i (we) was (were) waiting, but today i believe Dwight is still on it, reading/listening to us, and/or just having his own ideas

than, to conclude : theme is great, sound is fantastic, artwork is a blast, design (after tweaks) is good for sure... if later code can match all these, GB will be a masterpiece

Quoted from kpg:
