LOL well we know why you posted that...
This is a STEAL! I think it will take a while before people realize how awesome this game is, like Hobbit. Get one now before the price starts going back up! They aren’t building too many more of these, the BOM is too high!
Man the gossip crew seems really to have knocked this game around. Mark my words, it will be a hot item once they shift over to Oktoberfest. Think about it - the people who are commenting on it negatively have played it a couple times on location, not set up properly. The ones who own it, are ecstatic. Blows my mind.
Quoted from thirdedition:If you hit the shot just to the right of the left orbit it should send the ball over to the stage.
And you can hit it from the left flipper. It took me a few games too, but man all of the shots are dialed in now. I am just not getting where the “geometry” stuff comes from.
I am not a very good player either, so I know it’s not a skill thing. I will say that the game is not very forgiving for the new player. But man the updates have been awesome the past few months. The modes are really fun (“man from beyond”, “bullet catch” especially), I think there’s 6 mini wizard modes. It’s not my game, and I ain’t Selling mine, I just do not understand the negative comments.
Quoted from PinMonk:It's a fantastic strategic game. The geometry is fine. The reason seasoned players have a hard time with it is it's not a cookie-cutter fan layout, and their muscle memory does not work, so they brick a lot of shots, but even when they do, they at least get a seance letter.
It's a great game in a collection precisely because it's so different and has a slower more strategic style of play. It still does great on the route I help with. We moved it out to make room for Munsters, so I get to enjoy it at home until the next location for it is chosen. My son hadn't seen it in a year and was blown away by how much the software has improved since the last time he played it.
Nailed it
Quoted from rai:Agreed, a for sale thread is not a place to wander in and give a negative review of a game.
Especially when the game kicks so much ass! Buyer will love it. BE SURE you set it up precisely! 6.2 pitch not 6.5. Makes a tremendous difference
Quoted from hlaj78:One very nice backhand shot in this game from the right flipper is a bank off the C standup straight into the stage. That debunks two of the observations listed above.
The inner loop (catapult) is also backhandable - but you do need to be precise. Takes a bit of practice but you can make it consistently.
