Quoted from HighVoltage:That's the thing though, LoTR has longevity in its favor. It has stood the test of time. Maybe JP will too, but it hasn't proved it.
They were neck-and-neck for a while there, but LoTR is starting to pull ahead now. I think I'll leave this thread open and keep an eye on the race.
I owned it for eight, but really should have moved it on after four. It's a sweet pin for sure...but the ball times where killing me. Horrible multiplayer machine. My Dad and Brother absolutely refused to play it with me. It taught me that I tend to prefer games that are fast and furious.
Quoted from Daditude:I love the journey. It's an incredible game, deserving of all the accolades.
I actually agree with you. It is deserving, and I get why it's so beloved. It's just, for me, JP is more "fun".
Quoted from PBFan:Ball times can be a bit long but there are a lot of settings that you can change to help with that. Take your outlane posts out and set your tilt properly with a single tilt warning and make the multi-balls harder and disable extra balls - then watch your ball/game times drop.
This discussion has been had many times. LOTR is a journey...so you can't handicap the settings to make it harder. I mean, you can, but then you never get anywhere. It's all about the journey. The problem lies in that its a HUGE ass journey! Which is great...once or twice...maybe three times. After that, I got hesitant to turn the machine on for fear I might be playing one game for well over an hour (had one game go just over 2). So if I set it up super hard I couldn't get anywhere (and who doesn't want to at least see "There and back again"?), and if I kept it factory I might (might) get caught up in a super long game. Again, it lasted a long time...but got played less and less as time went by.
What's opposite of LOTR? Iron-Man! I swear if I can play that game longer than 5 minutes I'm having a HUGE game...personally, I love that!
Quoted from yancy:Wow, I just broke an actual tie between MM & AFM. Can’t go wrong either way.
This is a much closer call to me than JP vs LOTR. Both are all-time greats. Both are fun/funny games. If I could only pick one to own I'd pick MM...by a hair. Destroying the castle should get old...should...shouldn't it?
Quoted from AFM95:A quick FYI - once voting ends tomorrow night, I will get the next round up and running afterward as quickly as I can. Voting in the championship round will end Monday night at 10pm EST/7pm PST.
Also, I'm looking for a little feedback from Pinsiders: For the championship round, should I hide the poll results and publish them Monday night when the poll closes? My thought is, if it is a potential blowout, see that over the next three days would take the fun out of it. Also, a good mystery always drives speculation.
Thoughts?
I'm all for it...keep it exciting until the big reveal.
Quoted from TheShaft:Is it really that close between MM and AFM that 74 voters couldn’t pick between the two and left it blank?
It could be. I know it was a super close call for me.
Quoted from o-din:Anybody that takes me seriously and gets butthurt because I don't like what they do should know better by now.
These greatest of all time threads do strike a nerve though. I'd spam the shit out of the pinside top 100 if it would just go away.
"The o-din doth protest too much, methinks
