If they got Ryan Renolds to do custom callouts, can you even imagine? Just the tilt warnings alone man...

"OW! F--k me!"
"Stop shaking the GODD---N GAME!"
"Yeah, touch it there..."
"Maximum Effort!" (Easter egg, Only triggers on a double danger without tilt.)
"Oops, looks like you blew the whole load!"

Past performance is not an indicator of future results.

Just remember how clunky that stupid black widow ramp is on Avengers.... and then just look at that shot through the orbit to the ramp. As many others have said, that game is going to have to be perfectly adjusted and perfectly level for that thing to work consistently. And IMHO, if it's one reject out of 25 clean shots, that's TOO MANY.

Say what you will, but there's PLENTY of games I've made over 25 shots to a ramp without a reject. FFS, on a LW3, I made 117 ramp shots...IN A ROW. Not kidding, and have multiple witnesses. STTNG, which is one of the most 'rejecty' side ramps of all time, I had so dialed in that getting Warp 9.9 was cake, but that one took a LOT of fiddling. Not something I'd want to repeat with a NIB? I've done 10+ in a row on Nu-Trek's side ramp, and that thing literally CLUNKS the ball down a few inches from your upper flipper...it's the antithesis of 'smooth'...but it works.

So yeah. 1 in 25 is too damn many, and the rent is too damn high on these new games.

I died before it did, haha. It was happy to keep awarding ludicrous amounts of points, but I got bored.

If you don't know the difference between having not made a clean shot or being rejected because of something that's just bad design or a faulty one way gate or things like that...you probably really haven't played enough pinball, or at least modern DMD or later pinball, and you certainly haven't ever fixed things like that on a game. I never EVER felt the Delta ramp on my STTNGs that I owned were 'clunky' but most people disagree with that? The difference is that I had the two STTNG that I owned tuned like a motherf...I literally spent hours tearing those games down, assembling, tearing it back down, moving the flipper alignments, etc until it WORKED, because it was a janky design that was prone to failure. But once dialed in? Doing those loops and orbits, getting 9.9 in one solid run is frickin' sweet. So who's right? Am I "cheating" by not wanting to play shoddily designed or maintained games? Nah. Are you entitiled to your opinion? Sure. Do I have to agree with it? 100% nope.

That cut-through shot on DP is going to be the same way, I practically guarantee that the metal lane guide will move at some point, it'll need to be re-positioned to make the shot reliable again. I'm not saying that will make it a BAD game, or even a BAD design, but it's a fact of pinball that THINGS BREAK, and I don't want to play a game on location that is prone to critical shots failing for any reason other than my own lack of skill. That's why I couldn't ever get into Avengers. The widow ramp shot was just a tiny bit too tight to be reasonable to shoot AND you were required to shoot it so many times to start Widow's vs. mode that it made the game unfun....well.....along with a lot of other things, but I could live with most of those. I can't live with a ramp across the middle of the playfield taunting me and sending back 70% of shots.

I wish I could go play it at local event today, but I'm at work. It'll have to wait, and I'll certainly report back once I get my hands on an actual game!

I've been so busy I haven't even seen video of the game yet. I'm an embarrassment to pinball right now. lol. Maybe tomorrow sitting around being lazy with my wife we'll pull up the dead flip video lol
