I asked for the lowest number possible when I ordered pirates CE #25 but the last two times I havent bothered and I'm happy with whatever number comes with the game .

We need just 4 more people to rate GF for it to be factored into the top 100.

Apparently, Ron and Bruce are not fans of The Godfather (start 22:43):

Never heard of them.

Apparently, you don't listen to pinball podcasts then. Regardless though - although I have, they are DEAD TO ME now!

At least until the next episode anyway.

Perhaps I'll send them an email in the meantime.

I just listened and I’ve got to say they sound like idiots!!

Yeah, but what you're hearing is out of context when considered in proportion to the 200+ episodes they've done over many years. They're actually pretty good pinheads and very knowledgeable regarding collecting, repairing, and playing games.

Just not the biggest JJP game fans - particularly Bruce. Ron (who also co-hosts the Silverball Chronicles podcast on TPN) loves Dialed In and considers that to be JJP's best game to date.

#4613 3 months ago

To Ron's credit he puts play over theme. It could be a very nice game, game wise but rather of the play sucks then he leaves it.

I was just goofing but when they just trash every pin JJP has put out it makes them sound like petty fan boy idiots

Played it today for the first time at Pinballz Original in Austin.

Flippers definitely felt better that the last few JJPs I've played on location (a nice Hobbit and a beat up GnR) but I just couldn't get into it.

The middle of the playfield looked REALLY dark (which surprised me considering how it looks in videos) and it just seemed so FLAT and barren after playing a ton of JP and GZ at home with their steep ramps.

Obvious couldn't hear it very well in the arcade so can't really comment on call outs etc.

I'd try again if I see one but can't say I'll seek it out.

Meh , when their favourite games are ones like meteor and stars , you can understand why . There's too much going on for them and the LEDs burns their old eyes

We are two a way.

This game has received 48 approved Pinsider ratings. 2 more approved ratings are needed to get a rating and for it to be eligible for the Pinside Pinball Top 100 ranking.

I think I will wait till I get my game , to give it a 10
It could be fun , if it isn't in the top 300 .

Nice, 2 rows of 15 getting the finishing touches (all going overseas, so wave good bye to them lol).

I really like that cabinet art. Not to say that I dislike the LE art, but this CE art is just next level. Even without the bling this is just gorgeous. As I look at the overall package, I do wonder if some gold trim around the backbox would have been more... IDK, symmetric.

I think you might have posted this pic also but using it as a reference.. Could use gold backbox trim around the border or just me?

Are they going to ship with the topper mounted this time? or that’s just checking them before packing them?…

yes means topper is in a separate case, correct?

Good question. I just saw a TS4 CE that had the topper in a separate box.

Alright guys and gals!

Top 100 ranking

This game has received its 50th rating this week. It will be included in next weeks Pinside Pinball Top 100 calculation!

Quoted from Cayenne:

No, but the box is "built effin strong with a margin for safety" per EM

When I look at the public rating comments, this is more likely to be an entry around 50th place.

It will be much higher than that I think but will see when it updates (tomorrow?).

normally update Monday morning; the CE will be rated much higher. I wonder anyway why it took so long with 50 ratings for the LE. With the GnR it went very quickly.

Perhaps because a LOT more Pinsiders bought GnR initially?

Hmmm ...

You get what you pay for. Quality wise, JJP makes a better product than Stern.

I agree and patiently await my Godfather CE - But I am still able to understand they are grossly overpriced and know the LE at the price it's at is not going to be flying off the shelves.

#4648 3 months ago

hello, I installed the beta version....it is great: no more video..manual available.....is there a jukebox mode? in attract mode, I heard a different version of the music but couldn't hear it again.

I've had mine since early April. Here to say I'm loving it as much as the day I got it. Play it nearly every day and it has a "one more game feel". You CE owners are in for a real treat.
