before getting started, let me make one more observation. while i pray they will see more action, the wireforms appreared to be used solely for dispensing MB balls into play. never saw them used to return an active ball to the inlane.
Quoted from Mancave:it's noteworthy to mention that some of the most critical comments have been from peeps that haven't actually played the machine personally, just going off/extrapolating from others comments.
sorry, but top Australian players who gave it a go, couldn't endorse it. that's essentially an expert opinion.
is your logic here that those who haven't played the game are unqualified to comment even though they are basing their comments on the opinions of those who have played it.?
Further, they are making use of concrete additional information offered them by observing actual gameplay videos and detailed images of the playfield. when put together, thats plenty to formulate and justify the degree of criticisms made thus far.
Quoted from Mancave:i feel that some of the opinions have been solely driven by personality based judgments not by the actual machine itself.
i disagree. most appear to be talking about the actual machine itself. and while no one seems to have real problems with the art, engineering, and sound; those critical of the gameplay/playbility are in the majority. perhaps you need to take another look.
and what is a 'personality based judgment'?
according to wiki:
Personality judgment is the process through which people perceive each other’s personalities through receiving certain information about others, or meeting others in person.
Quoted from Mancave:was Williams, Bally, Gottlieb, Stern's first ever machine's awesome and knocked it right out of the ball park?
their first games were decades ago.
you convenietily left off all the modern startups: JJP, Spooky, HP, and American. seems like WOZ, AMH, Alien, and Houdini have/will turn out OK. Nobody was asking Homepin to hit it out of the park, they were just asking them not to strikeout.
