Quoted from Rarehero:

I play great! Being a great player is irrelevant when a game is designed like garbage. Trudeau needs to design better at pinball. Too late on this title, though.

Holy hell. I know this is your thing but you sound like my mother-in-law badmouthing her ex after the divorce. We get it, you two don't get along. Time to move on.

Quoted from o-din:

If he didn't have this to bitch about, he would be double and triple bitching in all the other threads he's bitching in.

I think some bitching is good and healthy and generally like his posting but the GB thing just seems like he's trying to get a rise out of people. Hmmmm....maybe I fell into his trap.

Quoted from Hawkeyepin:

It's too much FUN not to!!!
I don't care if I need to buy a center post or adjust the outlanes.
I like the challenge of it, it's speed/flow, lights sounds etc.
I don't care if it's a Stern and not a boutique pin. To me it's a great pin!
As long as the playfield is ok, everything else can be adjusted.
I almost talked myself out of it by focusing on a few bad reviews then I thought "I'm throwing in a shaker and hitting the gas pedal!!"
If I focus on bad reviews, I'd never have ANY pins.
Buy what you like right?

I think it's a great game. It definitely has its days where I play a few games and I just can't handle being punched in the noots anymore so I walk away or I play another game. But for the most part when it's set up right and you have a gonzo game it's the most exhilarating rush I've had playing pinball for 35+ years.

Edit to add: I bought the center post, played three games with it and give it away. Not for me.

Quoted from Rarehero:

It's my schtick! Isn't it fun!?!?
No? Alrighty well it's out of my system. I'll shut up about it.
Maybe

I'll believe it when I see another GB thread pop up (give it 10 mins) and you're not in it. Not holding my breff.

Quoted from DaveH:

Okay, who brought the dog? Having to play and defend a linear game has them irritated?
Look, I 100% agree with Rarehero on GB. Every copy I've played does nothing for me. However, I'm glad the OP got the game he wanted. Just because I don't like the game doesn't mean he can't. Today he has that exciting "first day" with a new game in his house. That is almost always a blast. Enjoy the game!

I do admit if I never have to hear "ok who brought the dog" again, I'd be a happy man.

Quoted from Hawkeyepin:

One out of four games I actually do pretty well! I've managed to get high score for storage facility but the record high on the pin is INSANE! It's going to take awhile to crack.

Yeah 1 in 4 sounds about right for a good game. The good thing is your idea of a good game keeps sliding higher. I still throw up scores occasionally that my dog could probably beat.

Quoted from wtatumjr:

If I put $1.00 into a pin and got 3 SDTM's I'd hate it too. Or you're having a great game and the ball hops the lane and
you lose your ball. So it's understandable to get pissed and never want to play GB again.
The fact is you can put about $40 in plastics and fix all this (I agree it should be done at the factory).
The owner's realize what a great game it is...or can be. It's a great game to own, maybe not so good to put quarters in.
I'm very pleased with mine.

I totally agree. If it's not dialed in, as with all games but especially GB, it's no fun. I played one on location where the left scoop puked the ball right down the middle every time. Who wants to play that?
