Love the honesty!

Coming from someone who just picked up the game yesterday... Uh oh. It definitely needs more code in it. I'm still learning the rules though. GLWTS!

The Q Ring dialogue while he is playing the slot machine is THE most annoying dialogue I have heard in a modern stern. There are no rules. No goals. And no cohesiveness. That being said… George Gomez understands all that and it will eventually all work together. It shoots really well. The left orbit is fun. The shot between the ramps is difficult. And it is fast. I am sure in 6 months it will be worthy of a top 20-30 pin.

Spot on.

Aside from needing a lot more code, what’s already there is about exciting as watching paint dry.

Zero fanfare or excitement… modes drag on forever making you hit way too many lit shots… uninspired clips and audio… unbalanced scoring (enjoy your 5 million points for actually completing the required 50 shots in 60 seconds!)… terribly bland user interface.

That said, I’m a big fan of the shots and have faith this steaming mess will be cleaned up eventually. Whether it’s months vs years remains to be seen haha.

I'm hoping this is a stranger things, hobbit, or bm66 case. It is fun watching code develop over time.

GLWTS

I had XLME that was a similar proposition although half the price when new. But Lonnie is not great at least not early code maybe it'll get better.

So you're both saying you think it may be shit code when the normal skill shot gets you 250k points, meanwhile the super skill shot gives you FOURTY TIMES that by hitting the Q scoop? Have a 10 minute ball, hit a million lit shots, play a MB, and have 8M points at the end of it. Meanwhile I can hold the left flipper on plunge, upnudge at the right time, and beat your score without flipping, and walk away from the ball? Lol, and we expect any better from a Lonnie game, why???

Just curious...what is the Q Ring dialog?

Lol!

Just think of one of those 1960’s chatty Kathy dolls. You know the ones where you pull the string on the back and it repeats one of like 5 phrases.

Now that’s a great ad!

The worst Stern I ever purchased was a Munsters Pro...lasted 3 months. Would have been gone sooner, but the CPU died and I waited for a replacement before I was able to sell. Lost $400...no biggy. A Dwight's Dud...

I have a feeling the 60th is also going to be a huge let down. Will play it next week and see for myself.

Hard to believe FF (a band license I should give a hoot about) puts all the Bond versions to shame! They can't all be winners...

I can't speak to the Hobbit... but I own a Stranger Things and BM66 and they are two of my favorites.

Stranger Things shoots 1,000,000x better
BM66 has probably the best code of all-time. I think it was Lyman's masterpiece.

Hoping that Bond is able to duplicate Lyman's code is probably a reach

Bond for sure is a huge disappointment. The lack of code on release is shocking. I have some faith it will get there though.
Stern shoots themselves in the foot every time they release games with such poor code because sales drop off quickly when word gets out.
Then by the time the code is good they stop production of the game. Weird business logic.

eh, i dont think .87 means much, there are lots of dots between that and 1.0
each iteration could have lots of additions.
I've listened to them on a few streams now where they talk about their plans for code and a lot more is coming.
I'd give it some time personally.

Let me give you a positive boost for potential buyers.

I agree with the Lonnie assessment. But Mike V and Gomez will make sure this game gets finished to its fullest.

You sold BM66 too, that was a game in MUCH worse condition when it came out.

Anyone considering this game and likes the theme you won’t be disappointed long term and this is now priced where it should have been.

So I agree, don’t hesitate to take advantage of this guys mistake.

There’s parts of that game not even a software update can fix.

I appreciate the honesty, but the asking price doesn’t really match the raw hatred and desperation of the copy.

Should be like $10k!

Somebody put this guy out of his misery. Seems like a real opportunity for someone to get a bargain.

He might even throw in a pitchfork to seal the deal!

Road trip to Ohio not in the cards for me.

Wish you were closer, for 10k I'd come get it

Some bargain...just like Ultraman! Best thing I ever did was sell that turd before opening the box...best $1,250 I ever "lost".

This game might go from turd to meh, but it ain't going from turd to great. No way.

I played and couldn't believe the shot on the left side. The ball actually hits wood before landing in a scoop. Its the hologram area. Pretty underwhelming and a huge waste of space.

Cargument is perfect here, and a lot of used car managers, still don't get it!
"First loss is the best loss"

I thought I was listening to myself talk for a minute, I have the exact issue...once something pisses me off like that, I'm done with it for good. Sorry for your loss on this, I love a good deal but I feel like you may have it right and don't want to risk it. LOL

already have one. I get it though. There were plenty of those same feelings for TWD and BM66 early too.

I took a bath on TS4. Didn’t even unbox it. 1st time ever for me

GL. You will sell it soon at this price.

The marketplace is gonna be inundated with all these high priced pins. Too much $$

One of the biggest Distros just told me that “sales in general aren’t good” and that TS4 was the “worst he’d ever seen”.

Yeah, Lonnie is infuriating! STH ended well though with same team

although I agree with most of what Your saying I think this is still a good game and potentially a very good game.
Your kind of tanking Your own sale with the brutal Honesty.

Not a ton for sale yet because we don’t want to lose our ass now when it will get better later. Right now it’s an absolute mess of a game no disagreement. Worst stern in some time.

Eh, I’d make the same argument about Alice Cooper at the beginning (I dogged it BIGTIME) but damn the code matured nicely and made it fun to shoot!

I never in a million years thought I’d be passing on Bond, passing on Toy Story and buying instead a Foo Fighters pin. And yet here we are.

Savage!

Quick! Somebody buy this steaming pile of shit! This guy is bleeding out.

It’s been 37 minutes
Time for a price drop!
