Quoted from delt31:Not surprised to hear that folks are resounding this way about mb. Its the worst thing from my experience playing as well. Hopefully jjp cuts it down
It seems pretty baked into the fundamental rules of the game, everything is designed around it. Keefer is one of the programmer gods of the hobby, I'm sure he was very intentional about it. He's also a smart dude who could probably change it up, I'm just saying, don't count on it.
Quoted from iceman44:I'm still VERY excited for the GNR CE coming my way because of the "experience", band support, assets and basically getting to play a GNR concert whenever i want to.
That seems like the right attitude. I'm still very impressed by the whole thing. I'm sure it's tons of fun.
Look, I can't lie, a lot of Keefer's games are brilliant but not for me. Too long. This might just be another one, just maybe for slightly different reasons. If you're a fan, or have a large collection, and you have the money? Why not. I'd like to play one when I get the chance.
But as much as JJP is really setting a high bar here I'd still rather flip a Keith Elwin game if I was looking for a new pin. Gameplay has to be the first consideration for me. These things are too damn expensive to not fully enjoy for a long while before I hit burnout. Everything else about GNR really top notch though.
And hey, maybe I'll play one and change my mind, I'm only going off of the endless multiball videos.
