Quoted from swampfire:Alright, I know it’s against the rules to call someone out, but I’m pulling the “public figure” card here. Cary, I love your video production standards. But dude, it seems like every new Stern has a fatal flaw for you. I get it, the 90’s had some great games! I have a few myself (though my collection is mostly pre-DMD).
Here’s the thing. I was totally psyched about Led Zeppelin Premium. I went to a friend’s house and played his LE, had a BLAST playing it. Then I watched your review and it sucked out every ounce of joy I’d had. There’s no way I’d buy a LZ now, and they were one of my top 5 bands growing up in the late 70’s. All the joy, totally gone. Is your assessment right? Maybe some of it, but it was relentlessly negative.
Plan B: Stranger Things Premium. Let’s see what Cary thinks of this one...are you kidding me? At least half of that review was about how the older Brian Eddy games were all better, or hammering Stern about gameplay issues.
No sir, I will not buy into this dystopian vision. From now on, I’ll play the game and make up my own mind, maybe with some input from the STDM reviews.
I do respect your retro lineup, your production quality, and your independent control of your eyebrows. I cannot respect your pessimism.
Didn‘t Cary only „review“ LZ Pro?
Srsly, the main complaints are the dead end shot (only Pro) and that one feature is not as advertised (ramp shootable from every flipper).
Both is not an opinion and as you said you wanted a Premium anyway.
And yes he is kinda harsh, often it‘s funny and a parody, sometimes just bitter.
I wan‘t a BKSoR. Cary jumped a bit with his opinion coming from the anouncement to the reveal and his first gameplay (LE).
Only sad thing is when his resume is „Pro is PROPABLY the way to go“ but he never follows up and plays that.
What you‘re finding when you newly drop in is a bunch of videos regarding the same game that are all over the place. So... just not the ideal source for reviews.
