gee let me think...

the people that own one want it to stay pricy and are going to say its great. Everyone else not so much.

I think its great looking and the they did a great job with the theme...

as a pinball machine it is turrible (and yes I had one and wanted to like it), one of the worst overall designs Stern has done and a waste of a good theme.

I dont know how people think a game that has to have mods made or massive code changes to make it playable is a great game.

It has 150 ball saves added to "fix" the code

Quoted from Aussiepinwiz:

Learn to play better!

Please... Im a good player and play tourneys here and there etc

The design on this game blows. Huge flipper gap and BS drains galore

I love hard games, this game is just not well throught out ( other than the art which is great)

had to be made pathetically easy to even be playable.

Quoted from seenev:

I guess this poll proves that the Rareheros of the world are indeed rare. The game is popular.

Its one of the most desired themes ever put out so of course its popular.

If you love the theme its going to be fun to play... doesnt mean its a good game.

There are many others just like this... cough Tron cough

Quoted from Utesichiban:

Yep. GB is one of my favorites and loaded by modern Stern standards (the premium and LE at least). The fact they also got the full license puts it over the top.
To fully appreciate GB, though, you need the premium or LE. This is one Stern where the pro feels barren in comparison.

Anytime all someone can say about a game is "how much stuff it has/its loaded" you know its not a good game.

Same can be said for most JJP games.

Quoted from Utesichiban:

I get it. You're a hater. It wouldn't matter what I said about it, you'd find something negative to say about my comment or the game.
I like the game and that is just one part of it. I dont really care if you don't. Different strokes for different folks.

Im not a "hater" whatever that means these days.

I am a fan who is annoyed they screwed up one of the best licenses they will ever get...

I did own one, and the game sucks, srry.

There is a reason people were selling off the pros after a while for 4k. All new code did was bandaid it.

Quoted from Utesichiban:

You are a hater because there are a lot of us that like the game despite your opinion on the topic. BTW, what are pros and premiums selling for now? Using isolated sales prices from 3-4 years ago to support your case is disingenuous.

Doesn't matter.... at this point its really just a glorified redemption game.

You turn it on and see and hear a bunch of ghostbusters stuff slap the ball around with 1000 ballsaves for all the BS drains and have a good time.

Its an opinion and my not liking it isn't exactly off topic.

Im glad people like it... I dont sorry.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Found a new pin for you, only $10k. Send payment to [email protected]. The ultimate flow game is here! "High Flow Pinball, no boring toys, just high octane flow". Get pumped!

Your highest rated game is WOZ which speaks for itself.

That clunkfest of a game is the poster child for terrible games with tons of stuff crammed in.

In comparison GB is a work of genius.

#114 2 years ago
Quoted from Utesichiban:

Yeah but you're the guy here trying to find reasons to put down anyone that happens to like the game. I guess you are the self appointed pinball judge and jury on what constitutes a good game, right?
You dont like it... fine. We got the message the first time.

Whats the title of the thread?

this isnt the Ghostbusters appreciation thread or owners thread or lets price pump a terrible game thread.

Its what do you think of the game 5 years later... and I answered honestly.

Sorry that seems to bother you but Im not about to pretend its a good game..... It is cool looking if that makes you feel better?

Quoted from rwmech5:

It's a poll, comments are not required.

meaning what?

Owners can say its the game of the century but no one can say otherwise?

You guys are too funny.

Quoted from Beechwood:

And now you are lucky to find one for sale, let alone below is original price. Facts.

I can say that for pretty much every game over the last year.

Doesnt mean its a good game

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

What was Stern thinking putting so many toys and features in GB?! Magna Slings, a metal subway ramp that integrates into a physical ball lock, Ecto Goggles LCD toy, drop targets, two yes two captive ball mechs, moving Slimer mech, multiple 3D molds, two scoops. My goodness.
Just insane folks. I would have much preferred two basic ramps and orbits instead for $6k - $9k+. High flow for the win!

They did what JJP does...

focus 80% of their resources on toys and and gadgets and pay next to no attention to the actual pinball design.

This results in a great looking but poor playing game which for lots of people is just fine because they still sell a ton of games.

Quoted from SeafaringSpiders:

Isn't it funny how a lot of the people who complain about tight shots in GB love Jurassic Park?

Not me, I think that game is way overrated also... its a wood chopper.

Quoted from SeafaringSpiders:

Ghostbusters is hard but it's a very well designed game. It's far from just a bunch of toys on a wood board. Maybe it's not for everyone but clearly a majority of people love it as shown by the poll.

Yes this poll proves that the people who own one like the game... fascinating.

I would imagine generally just relieved that the game went from being 4k used back to being respectable.
