Quoted from Billygrippo:I hope your not being”pc” on pinside cause you sell shit here….. your comment was fine. If someone gets hurt in the feelers, then that’s a personal problem.
I corrected essentially a wrong summation/restatement of what I posted. Because the conclusion was wrong. And I'd do that again.
If you have a TS4 (as I do currently, while I run tests on it - yes, I paid full price with my own dough), you know it's a heavy machine. Some people may not be happy with WHAT the BOM is, but to say it has a small BOM is flat out wrong, and I will call that out all day long. The coil count alone is BIG. And if I was trying to shill for JJP or play milquetoast, pablum-pushing pinmonk so as not to offend, why would I go to the trouble of looking up the quantity pricing on Alibaba for the screen and disclose how cheap that is in quantity? You need to really re-think your thought process or work harder on comprehension. You're arriving at very wrong conclusions, despite obvious facts laid before you.
Plenty to be upset about in my posting history for any particular fan or another if they like a machine I don't. Fortunately, I'm pretty helpful and generally nice otherwise and that seems to balance it out. I just don't have much of a filter. And may I remind you that I was one of the few that was telling people very unsubtly way before release that this was going to be TS4 and to kiss their TS1-3 dreams goodbye. That wasn't nice of me, but it could have eased people down from Mt. Expectations if they had only bought the ticket.
If you want to talk about the problems with the TS4 software, that's another matter entirely. I feel like it's very similar to Dialed In when it first came out when that slog through the cell phone mode wall was super boring after a while. It took a while, but they eventually added some other modes that broke up the progression a bit. I think that's what TS4 is sorely lacking - side/extra modes and a TRULY different ending mode for playing through twice. It needs some other non-carnival modes (plenty of options in the Antique Store) to break things up. I also think it's lame they hired a d-list mobile game company to do the sound. Mistake. Hopefully they're back in with Thiel now.
