This entire thread is comical and "fake." Ask a bunch of people who just spent $8k on a new game what they think of it, and the responses will all be overwhelmingly positive. When was the last time you saw someone trashing their month-old NIB game? it doesn't happen. I don't think I ever saw a bad review of NASCAR or WWE from a NIB buyer. It's hard to say a concert you just saw sucked when you spent 200 bucks on it - the cost of one of these is astronomical and so is post-buy rationalization.

A real consensus on MMr isn't going to have any credibility for years, once we actually see how the reliability is, how the defect issues are dealt with, if the color DMD ever comes to fruition and how much they fleece the buyers for it, etc. etc.

I think we need to wait until there are actually some ex-owners of this title - not just people still enjoying the post-coital afterglow of their big purchase - before a thread like this has any authenticity.

We have different views on comedy.

This entire thread was just created to be a circle-jerk for new MMR buyers, which is pretty transparent. Yet you have no problem with the overwhelming positive response, since that's what you want to hear. It provides nothing of worth than to say that a bunch of people who just bought an NIB game are happy with it. Just like every other NIB game ever made.

You are sitting at 73 percent in favor and you aren't happy with that? that's comedy.

I just voted no. Take that "future purchasers!!!"

"future purchasers" are smart enough to know the score. I wouldn't lose much sleep over this poll's effect on them. They'll consider the overwhelming praise the game is getting from recent confirmed buyers, as well as the recent negatives (sling issues, color DMD delay and cost, unreadable inserts, unknown long term reliability) before they make their buy.

That's EXACTLY what Pablito just said about negative votes or responses in this thread!!!! Why aren't you getting on him about it? A few negative votes on the thread? who cares! It's a forum! Does it really bother him? etc. etc.

And my line of thinking is pretty well stated: a "are you happy with your MMR purchase" this soon in the game is pretty worthless. I'm not making a blanket statement on every thread or poll ever made here.

Thank you for somehow not using a cargument here. That shows some dedication to actually thinking it out.

I just think you are putting way too much importance in the sanctity of the poll. You are really upset that some of the people who voted might not ACTUALLY be MMr owners? How about the 87 people who voted yes? You telling me that you really think ALL of those people are MMR owners? There could easily be some "liars" in that bunch as well. I would bet a lot of the "yes" votes come from people who bought MMr but haven't received their game yet. There's lots of incentive to pump up the value of something you've paid for already whether or not you've actually played a game on it.

I'm thinking about the sacred "future purchasers" as well. Their well-being is very important to me. I think a dissenting opinion pointing out that maybe buying an $8,000 game solely on the basis of this flawed thread/poll is a mistake has plenty of merit. Unless this game of kickball is being refereed by an accredited kickball official, and all of the players have been properly vetted, everything about it (positive and negative) should be taken with a huge grain of salt. Bookies would NOT take action on this kickball match.

I'm being none of these things. I'm swooping in here like a freight train of truth, and you either get on board, get out of the way, or get plowed into by 100 tons of fury!!!!! I'm no hero, just a man trying to fight for truth, justice, and the American Way.

I'm sorry if I "missed the point" of your completely bizarre and increasingly convoluted kickball scenario (I'm starting to understand why everybody goes with cars). You seem to be missing my point as well: This thread is crap. It's got people who don't own an MMR telling people to buy one, and it's got people who don't own an MMR telling people not to buy one, and people who just bought one NIB telling people to buy one, which is 100 percent predictable.

Take it for what it is, future purchasers. You'd get more value out of watching some kids play a friendly game of kickball.

No it wouldn't.

Just like everybody else they just spent $8K on a remake and will have the same response (six thumbs up!)

I'm wondering how many people would even be in this sample...gotta figure not too many but I'd be interested in knowing if anybody here actually did this - sold their original MM with the express idea of replacing it with an MMR, and actually followed through with it.

Dude, it's a thread where people talk about pinball. Don't take it so personally.

You are right. I just couldn't hold back from pointing out the stupidity and lack of value in this thread. And, I was upset about the unadulterated positivity people kept insisting on putting into the "unreadable MMR inserts" thread.

It must eat at you that much to see any negative thread or post about MMR that not every thread about MMr that you can't help but to continue to click on negative MMr threads and bring positivity in, simply because you deem a thread crap.

Are we just gonna keep goin back and forth with this?

Don't take it so personally when people start talking negatively about a pinball machine that you own - that's what this place is designed for. Try not to let it upset you so much that you can't hold back from jumping into such threads. You can hold back ... I believe in you.

LOL

This is indeed pretty good advice. You never know if the guy next to you is gonna be into it or get upset.

Thanks mr. positive!!! You are a beacon of positivity, showing all of us negative nancys how it's done!

It still astounds me that an MMR circle jerk thread with over SEVENTY PERCENT positive responses isn't enough for some people. It's like, go 100% or go home!

Not to mention, I haven't even said anything bad about MMR. Just pointing out this thread is stupid.

To me, it seems like many of you are butthurt when someone says they don't like MMR.

You guys need a new press agent.

Ain't nobody gettin' no "free color."

I'm guessing it'll be priced around $250. Still a nice chunk of change but will seem cheap compared to the $400 you have to spend to bring color to your standard DMD title.
