Quoted from PanzerFreak:
All I know is this. The few people knocking The Hobbit for being "slow" or "empty" will eat their words when Keith is finished with the code that is taking advantage of all of the games features. Thats already started to happen with 1.10, I know as I'm one of those people that had to eat their words, haha. Today I just paid for an LE and can't wait to get it
The Hobbit is one of the most loaded pinballs to date. Theres a reason it weighs more then WOZ. A game with an empty playfield doesn't weight 350 pounds and has its IO board filled up more then WOZ, lol.

All I know is this. A 350 lb. game is overkill and says 0 about game play or feature set.

TH has 0 "feel good" shots. Right upper flipper is a waste. Ramps are pushed back too far and the ball flops back half the time.

I'm sure the rules will eventually rock, but they can't compensate for a fundamentally BORING PF layout.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:
Your opinion, plenty of people that think otherwise

Maybe, but I don't know many players that like the game. Almost all of the folks who like it gravitate toward games based on license and looks. From that perspective, I see the attraction...it's a very beautiful game. Anyone who thinks the layout is exciting to shoot is just wrong. Hey, I wish I felt differently...would love to purchase my first JJP pin. For now, I'll hope that Lawlor nails the next JJP offering.

Wow, really dude? Sounds more like you think anyone who likes the layout is wrong. Lol.

Yeah, dude...no taste. Sorry!...my opinion.
