Quoted from Rarehero:Disagree. I think the B&W looks AMAZING...way more clean and classy & the splashes of color come from the LED lighting. Wow! If I get one of these, the Premium is the one on my radar.
Kind of like GOT. The premium playfield was unique and cooler with the blue color unlike the le and pro.
Quoted from Darscot:Wow it looks like they really put some effort into this one. This looks like a dime piece for Stern. I can't for the life me understand why the went all in on Munsters and so many recent pins don't seem to have the same level of attention.
Exactly. All in on a so-so theme (Munsters), but a half-assed, over-priced embarrassment on The Beatles.
Quoted from seenev:Looks cool but this is a perfect example of why I'm not a Stern fan. Very different game between the models. Who wants to pay $6000+ for half a game?
Good point... Especially when you can get a Monster Bash for that kind of money.
Quoted from TheCapn:Every time I see a post where someone starts a rant about "wow, 2 ramps, 1 scoop, etc. etc." I don't know if I can roll my eyes hard enough. You start comparing it to other 'layouts' and how it's the 'same' as another game - you are ignorant. You realize that there is PHYSICAL limitations to pinball, right? Not just above the PF, but below as well. Certain shots may be similar to other games, and the reason behind that is that they 'work'. There really are so many combinations and layouts that can physically be possible. Anything can easily be simplified to sound mundane. The variations to these are what makes them unique though. I could simplify sex by using some of your logic. "Oh, wow. That guy is putting his d*** inside of her. BORING!" Hence why there are so many 'variations' to sex to make it more interesting, but to base your opinion on how the game has stuff that other games have in the most simplistic form is just ignorant.
On another note: The games look great. Premium is my favorite. Can't wait to play it so I can make a more informed opinion on it.
I absolutely agree that these games look great and the premium is my favorite as well. As for the rest, I seem to not be able to roll MY eyes hard enough. If Stern was the only company ever to exist, I might have to say, "Yeah, I can see that" as far as there only being so many combinations and layouts that can physically be possible. I think your argument falls apart though when you consider W/B games. From Addams to Creature, to White Water, to Twilight Zone, to Indy, to Shadow, to TOM, to TOTAN, to MM, to CV, to MB and most games in between, you never hear people saying that the games felt similar. Some may have had remotely similar layouts, but they were so packed with toys, gadgets, and things to do, no one ever noticed. With Stern, people notice. Why is that? First, it's because so many of their games are in fact so damn similar. Secondly, so many of them are so barren that the similarities really stand out.
