Quoted from chuckwurt:Haha. Didn’t mean that as you were lazy sorry. Just saying, if someone get addicted to a game (like I did with GOT) and wants to learn every inch of it, it’s not as daunting as you would think.
Tune in Sunday when I do the hurricane turtorial. That game has a lot more rules to it than I originally thought. But not knowing them until now hasn’t changed my enjoyment of the game. (I didn’t like it before and I still don’t like it). Haha.
Give me a game that is fun to shoot and I’ll play it on location forever. If I want a game at home I’ll need it to have more to it to explore.
It doesn't change my enjoyment of the game, im just saying that i can see a person maybe shying away from tournaments if they dont know all of the rules is all because if you take two equal players skill wise, the guy that knows the rules real good will usually win every time.....as he should i guess.
All of these rules makes me enjoy my games more than an older game but instead of diving into them i usually learn them as i go and by picking up bits and pieces from people on pinside etc. Still though when you did the GOT tutorial i had no idea that i was lacking as much knowledge about the game as i was. I would have never learned some of those things on my own.
I can.pretty easily achieve the scores that you were talking about though usually. I guess what im trying to say is like if went to a tournament and the games were TWD, GOT, MET, or AS etc id probably do decent but if there was LOTR, TRON, BM66, and DI etc id be so totally lost that theres no way in hell that i could compete. Then the rules are so deep that theres no way that anyone can give you a quick run down on what to do.
Im not complaining either btw, im just saying.i just think that some of the rules are a little over the top and i think that games shouldnt lean so heavily on multipliers to score well and that they should focus just as much on mode completion for scoring high.....maybe balance it out more i guess.
Thats just my opinion which means nothing and im not bitching and complaining about it either. I still love pinball just as much as i ever have and even more than i used to but it does make me hesitant to play tournaments a little bit. I also could care less if i do bad in a tournament but i just hate going into it knowing that I'm at such a huge disadvantage due to lack of knowledge of the rules. I just cant keep up with it all i guess lol.
