Yea this was my fear game seems very very simple? Based on playfield inserts not a whole lot going on? But who knows really need video.
Complete METALLICA to start "And Justice For All" ?
That song isn't on the song list we've seen. Might we have another tune?
Quoted from Mando:Yea this was my fear game seems very very simple? Based on playfield inserts not a whole lot going on? But who knows really need video.
That's what happens when Lyman is programming. You know he's going to come up with something naunced and amazing....rule card has the basics for the newbs.
Yeah, don't expect a lot of detail on the rule card. There's going to be lots of things they can't write on a little card. They want to keep it simple for the casual player who might be wasted.
Aren't all Stern Rule Cards pretty basic, and fairly useless for understanding the full rule set?
I generally find rule cards to be pretty bad at explaining how to play the game, but that might just be me.
Quoted from jk2171:Anyone scan the QR code yet?
Quoted from coz6:Yup just takes you to the video - we have seen... This rule card makes me not so happy...
Was hoping it was a gameplay video. Would've been a sneaky way to get that out there.

Iron Man is pretty "simple" too
Having a crazy deep rule set makes it seem like the game has more but the average player only scratches the surface
The question will be is it fun?
Quoted from Mando:I guess the ironman rules are pretty simple and that game is insanely fun
I missed this when I posted
Quoted from Shapeshifter:What happens when you run out of gas, man??!
Make the flippers die please please please!
Quoted from pinballcorpse:I missed this when I posted
Haha I need to come play more ironman! I love that kickback shot, hoping Metallica does something like that but doubt it.
Layout does have some similarly.
Quoted from coz6:Make the flippers die please please please!
That would be a pretty cool feature. Not sure if it would start to suck after a while though, lol.
Quoted from Toasterdog:That would be a pretty cool feature. Not sure if it would start to suck after a while though, lol.
yeah it would make it start to suck after a while... just thinking of the games that utilize this feature... always found it to be fun - like in Elvis during the ENCORE mode its just over... Also the other famous examples King Pin, and the recent kid on the block P-rock where they loose strength then die.

Exactly !

Other examples of when flippers go dead? BK with the high score bell after the game is over. CC and High Noon. CCC and Last Call (when there's only one ball left). Any others?

Cosmic Gunfight after cosmic ball mode.
The fuel meter is rechargeable?
Perhaps it's like TSPP clock feature combined with a hurry up Multiball with add a ball shots & jackpots all the while balancing the recharge fuel shots?
It would be cool if subsequent hits to the fuel recharge extended that mode less & less to increase the stress, importance & fun/risk/reward?
Talkin out my ass I know
Typos:
"He's very hungy!" Hungy?
"Don't run out of gas man!!!" should be "Don't run out of gas, man!!!"
Or maybe that's a new super hero: Phhhhht! What's that smell? It's Gas Man!
Quoted from pinlawyer:Hungy?! Are there no proofreaders at Stern?
Well, you'll notice the cards haven't been printed out in any of the cab pics that we have seen...
Mildly disappointed in the typos and the vagueness of the card, but Lyman is programming so the finished product is going to be great.
Okay wake me up when we finally get a video of gameplay. Seems like with other new releases we saw some gameplay by this point in the process. Wonder if some things are still being worked on/ironed out?

Didn't Lyman do IM Greg
Quoted from pinlawyer:Hungy?! Are there no proofreaders at Stern?
You ooze you loose. Yes, no proofreaders.

I think stern are holding out on video because they are still riding the hype wave to sale more machines. I may buy a metallica premium if it's good after its been out for a while. It seems kinda strange how there is no video yet.
Quoted from TomGWI:Didn't Lyman do IM Greg
Lonnie/Lyman...and yes, as simple as IM is, it's got some great nuance in its stacking strategies. The rule card doesn't point out how you can stack this, but not that, and in what order. In any case - IM is a "lean days" game. We're in the "AC/DC Lyman" zone, now!
Quoted from Nuclear_Waste:"Don't run out of gas man!!!" should be "Don't run out of gas, man!!!"
No way. I'm hardly a grammar nazi, but I hate commas like that. Like: 'Don't run out of gas, Bob'. If I'm telling Bob not to run out of gas, I'm not pausing midway thru. That just gives Bob more time to run out of gas. Secondly, the sentence has not one, not two, but three exclamation points at the end!!! If you really don't want somebody to run out of gas, you're not going to pause before saying 'man'. It would sound totally stupid..., man!!! d
Hungy just sounds weird. Loose, I liked. Hungy, not so much.
6 separate objectives! Plus End of line wizard mode. More than most pins. Plenty to explore. Look forward to more Lyman code.
I hope there is a strobe on sparky.
Spell check. not so much.

That song isn't on the song list we've seen. Might we have another tune?
So there's a chance Wherever I May Roam will be in the machine as well? I love that song...
Quoted from ahdelarge:So there's a chance Wherever I May Roam will be in the machine as well? I love that song...
I was surprised Unforgiven made it and not Wherever I May Roam.
Quoted from Av8:6 separate objectives! Plus End of line wizard mode. More than most pins. Plenty to explore.
6 Objectives is more than most? Don't think so, pal. Nice try.
Looks like they are going for the AC/DC score fest kind of game... which I like! Lots to look forward to IMO.
FIRST I gotta cancel my order because of band member names in wrong place...NOW I gotta cancel because of score card???
My momma told me to never judge a pin by it's rule card
Quoted from grh450:My momma told me to never judge a pin by it's rule card
Or by pictures alone... Just joking around a bit. IMO the only way to tell is to play it we don't even have gameplay video yet.
