That's going to be a tough one, because I think there will be different appeal. Just got Hobbit SE today - it definitely reminds me a bit of LOTR in terms of the ruleset and completing different quests. It's definitely going to be quite complicated when the code gets closer to completion. Ghostbusters I feel will appeal much more to the casual gamer, and have more of a "fun" vibe. I view The Hobbit as LOTR, and Ghostbusters as AFM. AFM vs LOTR - two very different games, but AFM is always going to be more "fun" to the casual/non-player because it's just so easy to immediately grasp the rules and what you are supposed to do. The Hobbit will have more of the "wow" factor and get more initial attention, but I think Ghostbusters will be played a lot more.

Again, this is all complete and utter guesswork based off of what we've seen of Ghostbusters. Who knows what both of the games will really end up being like once all the code is done and the games are out there.

Quoted from hooch333:

Not sure what you mean by this, but I am going to pretend you are not insulting me....... My wife and I have been married for 26 years, and have 7 biological children of our own. We then decided to get into foster care, because we love kids and wanted to help others less fortunate then us. We have adopted 3 siblings from that system whose father was incarcerated, and mother is an addict...........When they arrived at our house they would put blankets over their heads and rock against the wall....I have come to learn that neglect is far more destructive then abuse....In the past 3 years they have excelled in our home.
So yeah,....I know what birth control is, and I have 10 kids,......and you know what??? We want more!....What have you done for someone else lately?

I really don't think it was meant to be insulting - none of the comments are, or at least I wouldn't take it that way. I, and I think just about everyone else, greatly applaud you for your foster care volunteering - that really takes a very, very, very unselfish person/family to dedicate that kind of time (of course, having the resources to do it also helps immensely). But don't take things so personal - it's Pinside, people will joke about anything. And if you come on here and say you have 10 kids, that's quite surprising in this day and society, so expect a few jokes about it. All in good fun - none of the comments seemed insulting at all.

Quoted from John_I:

Actually the newest Stems always get trashed. GB is the exception.

The last machine I remember getting this much hype with the announcement/playfield picture release was Metallica.

Quoted from Jvspin:

If my count is correct, you have 23 shots available to each flipper; includes pop-ups and LOCK rollovers, does not include the yellow stand-up targets behind the drops and the left VUK. All but the mystery shot are important to progress in the game.

Pretty sure most wouldn't count each drop target as a "shot". I would count the bank that they were in as a shot perhaps, but not each individual drop target.
