Quoted from pinballophobe:That is true. Trek from a strategic point is deep. But for the most part. It's just shoot the lit shots.
Where got u have to read the dmd for the house that u are battling
Ex stark. U can hammer the center all day and if u didn't know that u need to hit the left orbit to cash out. U would think u are getting massive points just by making the center shot over and over
Trek starting a missing is straight forward. Hit the left vuk or the away mission
Got if u didn't know or look up on the dmd. U wouldn't know u have to shoot the lane 3x to lit the house to battle.
I think it explains what to do really well at the start of the mode. Tells you what shots are needed and even how to collect them if that is part of the mode.
But, with the example provided. If you aren't looking at the DMD you wouldn't know that major points are starting to be available. What you would see is both ramps lit to be shot. After hitting 3 ramps it will light the orbits (to collect) which also tells the player, "maybe there is something else I need to shoot for". I agree that it's not intuitive by any means but it's got some pretty good clues.
Quoted from DaveH:Pinside sort of roils with threads about a game, and I'm guessing this one was at the top when he commented. And I'm totally fine with him not liking the game and posting about it. I think the critique is that new games can be hard to understand, and I agree with it.
Agreed, and I'm really trying to not be argumentative. My feelings about it was just that it was better meant for a different thread.
