Quoted from gliebig:

That's because a lot of people are sheep and can't get past an original theme. They need it connected to something familiar and popular.
If the game were called Sim City, most of the negativity would be gone and people would be busting their nut all over it despite it being the same game.
flame on.

THIS. It's never leaving my collection and I was a Sim City nut as a kid. This is 10X a city disaster game and not about the phone.
I do get how people can be turned off of a theme though, because I'm just not sold on Wonka as a theme at all. I really look forward to playing one on location though and look forward to the streams.

Let's hope Wonka plays better on location than other JJ pins. Even Dialed In which has the least amount of issues doesn't feel the same on location. Our local pinball place is swearing never to get another JJ pin after all the issues with WOZ and Hobbit. :/

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Poor Dialed In, great game, theme...many opinions. Oktoberfest is having the same issue, turns out its a pretty damn good game if you can get past the theme.

And the art on Oktoberfest. The art on that game is atrocious. Fun to flip though.

I don't get all the Johnny Depp hate. His portrayal of Jack Sparrow was awesome along with just about everything else he's done with Tim Burton. The guy personally is a weirdo, but so is most of Hollywood and music. Roald Dahl's family has said that Depp and Burton's version was closer to the book and they hated the original. I get that people like the original better, but there's room for both definitely. It blows my mind that people don't like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies just because they don't like Depp.

Quoted from CLEllison:

Amen! But I'd bet dollars to donuts it's going to be based off the original as it's an iconic movie where as Depps movie isn't. I wish it was Depps version though. Too bad JJP didn't offer a reskin and satsify both parties

As it should be really, from the asset acquisition to the size of the fan base. I'm just saying that both movies are good in their own way, yet you mention the new one and people scoff and act like it was a turd. It really wasn't. Then it immediately turns into a tangent on Depp's face being on Pirates and then I'm completely lost.

Quoted from fnosm:

Definitely not Depp's fault those movies sucked.

Well, the first 3 were great anyway. I own the machine and haven't watched the last two yet.

I'm admittedly easily entertained though. I even liked the third Batman movie with Bane.....

I'm out. I was iffy on the theme, but love the other most recent JJ titles. I like the 4 flippers, but the game is too kiddy and doesn't wow me.
I'll go BK this round and hope for more with GNR.

Also, this should have been a $9000 LE.
