Alien. Was never a single flipping white wood in the entire years of development. Houdini at least had the excuse that the entire thing was done in 4 months, an impressive feat in and of itself. Even if I join the majority in not caring much for the end result that was quite a trick to pull off.

Fonts matter to me.

They may not to you, and that's cool, but I get to decide what matters to me, and bad typography irritates me.

Stern is barely figuring out what to do with their LCD, results are all over the map, it's hardly surprising AP is too. It's not the most important thing, I don't really like Iron Maiden's LCD much, but the game shoots great, so it's not a big deal. I don't even like the band really, I'd still own it. Because, again, it shoots great, it's a fun game, the physical part is nailed. The reason to play pinball.

If Houdini shot less tight people would forgive a lot more. To me it feels like there's one more shot than necessary crammed in, and I don't like how that feels. That trumps whatever is on the LCD.

I'm biased since it's what I do for a living, but I'm also informed because of that, and I think AP needs a creative director, to help them navigate the waters they're struggling in. Someone to bring the right eye to the art direction, make things consistent, spend creative resources wisely. But I doubt companies like AP really have the budget for stuff like that, everyone probably wears a lot of hats. Clearly they have engineering and programming talent, I just think they need another tent pole.

How do we know that? They aren’t making sales figures public I presume. ACNC we know the max on at least.
