I think GOT has the chance to have one of the best mini playfields ever. Very few mini playfields have as many shots and inlanes, the first ones that come to mind are FG/Shrek and that's a mini ball. I love mini playfields and all the good ones recently have been single flipper (pending TBL and WOOLY). Not to be negative but if this sucks, it could destroy the entire game, but I have faith in SR.

REALLY hope this is like AC/DC where the premiums are the games that I usually see on location, not the pros...

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

I understand the shortcomings of Art

Don't be down on yourself, you didn't do anything to design it.

Quoted from Wamprat:

I am also positive that I have just about lost all interest in Stern and won't bother buying any more NIB games from them anymore.

Why? This doesn't look like a systemic problem, it's one disaster of an art package, we don't even have the same people working on every game at Stern. Metallica has one of the best art packages in pinball recently... on the pro of all things. Plenty of other recent pros haven't been scrapped to the bare wood either.

Quoted from T7:

LOL - Like others have said, look at previous New Game Threads!!! The general reaction is almost always the same -> boy this sucks!!! Pinside has a very critical audience for sure.

The consensus was positive when/as AMH (Ghost Squad), TBL, WOZ, and WOOLY were revealed. I can't remember but did the Magic Girl reveal even shut people up in the thread for a while? We sure don't hate everything by default. We're just hipsters who hate the mainstream.

My favorite comment is "Greg Freres would crush this" though, someone complaining about WoZ art.

Creating a better playfield requires more than a weekend of work and Photoshop skill and isn't something anyone can fart out, that's exactly the point. A great playfield shouldn't be able to be mocked up in a few hours if it were a labor of love and effort. Aurich has gone over this. When we see Aurich's playfield art we'll see what a playfield looks like when true effort from a Pinsider goes into it.

Quoted from Aurich:

Or I'll get my balls put into a vise after doing a bunch of bitching and then putting out something people think sucks.

I'm willing to bet you deleted at least one gradient.
