I love my GBLE. Sure I needed the outlane/post kit to add because hell, I want to enjoy it and let my family enjoy it too. It's still really difficult. Too many airballs. Slimer "over registering". I emailed Chas to ask how to best adjust, but I really don't have an issue with the code.
SKILL SHOT:
The skill shot choices are fantastic. You can choose which ladder you want to climb. I love it. I have MET and it's great, but the skill shots kind of stink compared to GB. So do my IJ. Hey wait. Come to think of it, I'd rather have GB-like choices any day. I love the fact that you can earn 10% of your score with a proper skill shot too.
MODE "LADDERS":
Honestly, I don't have a problem with it. This isn't "Road Show linear." Start with a different ladder, if you want! The way the scoring is structured, I don't see how they could randomize the modes within a ladder. WBTD requires 3 shorts and is worth 21MM max. As you go up that ladder, other modes require more shots and a worth more. If you randomize, this is now all out of whack. I don't mind it.
POPS:
OMG the Gozer pop can keep the ball up there for approximately 26 minutes. That might be a little exaggerated. Could be 24. They should've caught this. Nudge it out if you want.
SLIMER:
I love how he's integrated. With the outlane fix, I don't have ghost target drain issues. I'll have to adjust him b/c he's over registering, but no biggie. His butt hits the captive ball top a little but just barely.
CENTER LADDER MINI MODES:
It's a big plus to have this secondary ladder of mini awards/modes to work towards. You can not even start a mode, but work up towards mass hysteria, which as a wizard mode, sucks. The flippers reversing is too much. It's over way too quick.
MAGNASLINGS:
I can't believe these were the things we were all worried about and turns out, they're one of the best things on the game. SO much better than the PRO. You might have a pro that is playing well, but the cheap drains must be frustrating. LE/PREM is better.
PLAYFIELD ISSUES:
No ghosting here at all. Clear is great. Every insert looks fantastic. Received the game 5 weeks ago.
It must be a nostalgic thing for STARS, but for me, hitting 5 shots and wailing on a spinner is not very fun. I'm really happy with GB so far.
