Theme matters quite a bit!
Look at Mustang....considered a great game - great tournament play, innovative code and strategy, etc...yet very few want one or own one...only reason for that is theme...
Look at BTTF or TMNT...both are very bland games - one trick pony shots, light on code, light on features BUT prices have been skyrocketing and you can't find either one....only reason for that is theme...
Quoted from HarryReimer:For me, its less about theme and more about how the game looks turned off as that is the state it is in the most... For me its gameplay first, great theme and artwork. it has to look great and play great. That said, MM, CC, WW, FH all games I would own in a second.. Dialed In is the best playing game I have played in quite some time.. I played it Expo for quite a while and loved it, the theme is actually a cool concept, its just the artwork I dont love....
I spent some time with Dialed In a 2 weeks ago at Free Gold Watch in San Francisco. LOVED LOVED LOVED the gameplay. Amazing layout, super smooth shots, great design, absolutely zero complaints...but I still have no idea what in the hell I was doing, why I was doing it, what was going on on the LCD, why there was a guy with a lightning bolt going back and forth ala Monster Bash...I just do not get it at all. That said, I cant wait to play more of that game.
