Weird eject on the right?

You sure those are drops on the left?

Might be stand ups

#2141 4 years ago
Quoted from Diospinball:

Wish I had your kind of money to only have it for a month and then get rid of it.

Calm down, put yer shit back on bro.

He's saying 1 month ETA not 1 month lifespan.

I think.

The video has taken my 24 hour old opinion of this game up a notch.

Following dis one closely for a bit

Quoted from iceman44:

Guys, I gotta say, i have a new pinball machine and its been in my house for 3 years.
The GB code update created an entirely new pinball machine.
Should we thank Dwight and Stern after 3 years? I have no idea but the game now is so great. I've been playing it all night.
Munsters can be updated?
Gotta give credit where credit is due. Despite all the negative BS, some of which is warranted, Stern pinball still creates some amazing pinball.

True Ice

But I'd rather have owned something fun for the last 3 years.

I put Elvira on my wishlist. Which is really just a list of games that I wish to eventually end up with solid QC & code.

Hope to see this evolve into something great!

(I am jealous you're getting this game)

#3176 4 years ago
Quoted from Diospinball:

Yes, but there has been no innuendos as of yet... And very little of Elvira's sarcasm.
Please note... I'm in for an LE. But, again. They better put more of the Hostest with the mostest into this pin.

You're buying an incomplete LE and now you're saying Stern better do this/that?

You lost your leverage to make demands & the ability to complain later if you've already bought.

A good example would be GOTG. Songs were added only after errbody griped & refused to buy. I think.

(not picking on you)

#3179 4 years ago
Quoted from Diospinball:

Well... I got a choice. Either get the best art package and support pinball and themes I like... Or the pinball hobby instead of growing shrinks and less pins get made... Which mean less themes I'll like...
Sure, I wish this started off like the new JP pin. As that game looks amazing. But, I don't like the JP theme. I hate those movies. They are BORING to me. I love dino's but, to me... They're too family friendly and I prefer more carnage in my movies... So while as awesome of a pin. I'm a theme guy.
And I'm there with you. I hate games shipping with incomplete code.
But, nothing we will/can do will change it. If we all stop buying pins. Then Stern and all the other companies will go bankrupt. But, I do think we can voice the changes we'd like to see... Because I think they'll take some of what we say for consideration.

Careful.

Munsters LE sold because it had "the best art" until no one bought B&W premiums.

IMO Stern wont go bankrupt if sales slow. They will work harder to regain market share by improving code, qc, innovation, value to buyer, etc.

#3183 4 years ago
Quoted from Diospinball:

And at first I thought B and W prem was ugly and dumb... But, the more I see it. The more I think the color is gaudy

Agreed. I think the B&W is the best art package too.

Quoted from Diospinball:

Well... hate to say it... I work hard for my money dude. I'll buy what I want.

Weird time to flex the "my money" rebuttal as I'm likely an Elvira buyer myself just pointing out demands made in a forest of a forum after the fact may not be an effective strategy.

#3300 4 years ago
Quoted from wolfemaaan:

People with money will buy them, people that don’t have money will complain about them crunchin on rice cakes.

There's some truth to that.

But... Space, code, QC and unmet expectations are the driving force behind most unfulfilled pinball purchases IMO

I will not buy an unwanted pinball machine. Even when the SP500 is @ 3000 pts. Which is why I dont own games I dislike

So it ain't all about limited resources.

Elvira is a possibility for me. It's part of why I'm here. Can't wait to play one & decide! JP looks cool AF too!

#3302 4 years ago

Also.

IDGAF if Elvira is in her 60's. She looks great, I dig the character she developed & the way she carries herself outside the role.

An 8ball of nose Alaska & a night with Elvira is more than most pinball nerds could handle. Haters

Dang, that LE above my post looks TIT!

#3337 4 years ago

Can y'all start a new thread to bicker?

I don't really agree or disagree with either camp. Both y'all are sorta weird & stretching shit.

Plus I only like arguments when I'm included.

#3472 4 years ago
Quoted from GamerRick:

Wow. Anyone that updates to the new code let us know please. I love looking at my machines in attract mode. I just can’t imagine they would intentionally leave that out. The whole point is to attract players to play on route when no one is playing. That’s why they have attract mode. Just very odd.

That's the cost of buying early bro

#3488 4 years ago
Quoted from yancy:

No attract mode, lol. That's a new low for underbaked code. Does it at least have end of ball bonus yet? That was missing on the reveal stream.

Buy early, suffer early

Buy late, get complete code & new artwork options!

If sales slow on Elvira they will make a new art package covered in Elvira titties

I’m holding out for the cleavage edition
