Quoted from grimboys:I think Im going to go with Family Guy. I just want to thank you all for your opinions! Id still love to hear more opinions though between the two machines. Id also would like to know, with a good amount of you preferring Family Guy, why does it have such a low rating? Granted Im sort of new to Pinside, I would consider myself an intermediate player so I don't understand some of the hate for the machine.
It's really not that low on the ratings (they all can't be top 20 games ). But, games with really good and deep code sometimes get overlooked due to theme or layout. There's 2 things that play against FGY; 1. Theme 2. Mini pf - not too many people are a fan of both.
That said, I didn't like my FGY after the first month and understand the hate. Loved the show and comedy but wasn't feeling the pin. Then I learned the rules...then I tweaked the settings for getting to the mini pf and playing the mini pf. It all came together and I ended up owning and loving the pin for 4 years. So all in all, some haters just don't give it a chance. But it has an amazing rule set; It's awesome and you'll love it.
