Quoted from ASOA:

Not sure what everyone is talking about. Im in on a GOTG LE.
Art Blades look awesome. Backglass is awesome. Art package especially the translite is better. Shaker is a plus. The gold I guess we will see what it looks like in person. Worst case it's a trip to the Powder Shop for me. This game looks awesome. Not letting a specific color bum me out.

Quoted from iceman44:

Thinks its a premium this time up first.

Quoted from iceman44:

No, but that's what they tell me. Each game is different.
To put a game together its seems obvious and straightforward it takes one year on average.
"However, before that time starts you have to do the design of the framework, the rules, the data types, and do all of the work on the lower level routines (think coining, hardware drivers, video drivers, support new hardware, new node firmware, upgrade routines etc). All of that support work must be done by the team(s) also; most likely while the game is being designed."

Quoted from hank527:

It's here and the code is horrible on release. Makes x-men release code look good.

Quoted from hank527:

No call outs!

Quoted from hank527:

I think its unplayable as is. Played three games and I have no desire to turn it on. It should not have been released like this.
I almost said no to buying, but gave in when I could get one do soon. The people hyping it got me excited. I'm so not happy about that decision as the code is like BM66 and X-men at release. Its probably the worst code shipped on a game ever. It is that bad.

Quoted from waspinat0r:

Thanks everyone for the comments and showing up for the stream. It was a hell of a lot of fun, and Stephen and I stream most nights, and we're both idiot terrible pinheads, so feel free to come by anytime and talk to us! <3

Quoted from Trekkie1978:

When do domestic LEs go on the line?

Quoted from waspinat0r:

I'm downloading now.. it just says -initial release as the patch notes so expect nothing new, imo. But we'll see. 3.1g. Want me to stream it?

Where's Jack Donger!?!?!? He said he heard the voices and they were hilarious....
We appreciate the streams, Jack...but don't lie to us for the sake of being on Stern's good side.

Quoted from Blacksun:

Uggg pushed until Friday now.............................................

Quoted from jarch:

Update from Stern:
We heard you loud and clear! Our customers are loving the new Guardians of the Galaxy Pinball Machine, but we have heard that more original soundtrack music would be appreciated! We have been working very hard behind the scenes to get you more music!
In the upcoming GOTG code update, you will find "I want you back" by the Jackson 5 1969 and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell 1967!
This will be the first time the King of Pop or Marvin Gaye have ever been in a full production pinball machine in any form!
Expect this update very soon, and Happy Holidays from all of us here at Stern Pinball! #GOTG #SternPinball #Jackson5 #MarvinGaye

Quoted from tbanthony:

The art on the game is great. Unfortunately, that was the only thing I thought was great and I prefer to play the game rather than just stare at it. I have taken the game off of my Wish List. I think the initial ranking of the game outside the Top 100 seems very appropriate to me. I'll try the game again when it gets to 1.0 code and hope that they somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat. As we all know, opinions vary and I hope those that order the game enjoy it.

Quoted from T-800:

Got to play an LE on location today. Seems the Pro has a lot of advantages... Not really sure why they put spinners in there if they are almost completely covered by the groot arms. Also baffles me that they wouldn't have moved the arms back just the slightest bit so as not to obscure the inserts identifying which shots were lit and which ones were not. If you think the left outlane is hard to see as is, just try and see if the left orbit insert is on or off. didn't notice any difference in magnet effect either in a few dozen plays with many orb shots and mb's.

Quoted from tbanthony:

Apparently, they haven't programmed the extra two magnets to do anything yet. You'd think they would have them doing something given it's one of two functional differences (along with spinners). While the Pro's little ball loop action caused by the magnet is 'cute' and does send the ball in different directions, it isn't very exciting. I prefer magnets that really give the ball some quick movement. The current magnet action causes a small loop and kind of lobs the ball off in some direction.

Quoted from tbanthony:

I bricked a ton of shots on GOTG due to how tight the shots are and just started shooting for Groot. I'm sure I could "play better" but for casual players I'm not sure it can be effectively addressed with code. We'll see.

Quoted from Bul:

The only thing that is missing is the save Xandar final mode and bugs to be fixed.
Not my favorite game but it plays good.

Quoted from pinstadium:

One thing you can do to hear the songs longer and to make the gameplay a bit more interesting is to change the setting that turns off the modes auto starting on launch and requires you to shoot the right shot to start modes.
Someone suggested that to me and it made the experience much better along with the songs playing longer due to the fact that it takes more time since you need to make the shot to start the mode. Try that and see what you think. I have not switched back since.

Quoted from pinstadium:

I think it will be more enjoyable for you based upon your comments. I was feeling the same way and now it’s much better. Plus it felt like it spotted you a freebie as if you didn’t have to do anything to start a mode.
I think that it makes it easy and more enjoyable for the game on route with the factory default setting that way. However for a collector it’s feels like something is missing when you are just in constant modes all the time with no incentive or goal to do anything to have to start them. See what you think and post back up your thoughts as it may help others too. I’m curious as to what you think.

Quoted from hocuslocus:

being at .85 already doesn't brew much confidence, . Could see this game being unpopular for tournament players and competitive multi-playing games. Mainly because your forced to shoot groot, which limits the strategies compared to other games of the modern age.
I had a lot of fun with single player games, trying to reach the wizards.
it doing good on location, at least for me anyway. Doesn't need to be a great game, as long as it has a recognizable theme attached.

Quoted from tbanthony:

I'm glad there was another code update and they haven't given up on this game. I don't think this game has sold that well so far -- I can't find one close to me and and there are a lot fewer GOTG owners on Pinside than Star Wars, for example. The game is ranked at #146 in the Top 100 list which I personally feel it deserved but I am hopeful that the game will be a lot better by 1.0. I'm hoping for at least one more code update before the Allentown show so I can give this game a 2nd try with code that is closer to the final product.

Quoted from jar155:

Say what?! Top 30 of all the pinball machines ever created? I actually think it's lucky to be a top 200 game, given how new releases usually have inflated rankings. That code is an outright mess. Yeah, there's room for improvement, but they painted the game into a corner pretty early with some odd decisions.

Quoted from tbanthony:

I’m sure it will move up as code improves. Not going to debate the spot, but the initial code was crap and it deserved to start way down the list. I’m looking forward to playing it again as it continues to improve.

Quoted from bobukcat:

Actually in the new code you really need to shoot the orb if you want big points.
