Quoted from BallyKISS1978:GNR is horrible. Played it again today at my local arcade. On looks it’s worth the money, but playing it definitely not worth it. Halloween all the way and I have not watched the movie yet, but I will. Born in 1971. Was never a horror fan but my wife and daughters are and want this pin. I am really excited for it. #481
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Agree to disagree. The flippers are weak, and it was just not fun. When the price tag is north oh $10k you have certain expectations. My daughters did nit like it either. Played AIQ and I didn’t know what was going on and I bought a pro. Bought it because it’s fun as hell. GNR is not all that fun. JP3, each time I play it I love it more and a getting one. Played GNR about 10 times and still don’t care for it. I personally do not know anyone who likes it.
Initially I wasn’t sure I liked it and I also thought it didn’t shoot that great. But after playing it more and more and getting used to the layout and shots, well, I can tell you that I was very wrong. The game shoots amazingly well and there is a ton of flow and speed. I agree that the flippers are NOT strong and snappy like a Stern. But, they are strong enough to make any and all of the shots and send the ball flying around orbits and up any of the ramps. If I’m playing Dead Pool or Rick and Morty and jump on GNR yes I can notice the flipper difference but like I said it still makes all the shots with no problems. I’ve owned GNR for 1 year now and I can honestly say that GNR shoots amazing and is an amazing game. I’m not saying it took me year to realize this.
IMO, I just think that once you become more familiar with the game, the way it plays, the layout, all the different shots and shot combinations you will learn how well this game shoots and that it is fast.
Also, making sure the game is setup properly, like any machine, is very important.
