I’m a little disappointed that I don’t see a T-Rex on a spring. I was really looking forward to 10 pages of bitching on that subject alone.

Have we figured out what’s horrible on this game yet? Who will be the first to say that they will never buy another NIB Stern because of the (fill in blank) on this game?

Has Kaneda declared he”s in on an LE yet? Has he declared he”s out on the LE yet?

The best thing about the movie was the dinosaurs and the setting itself. The story and actors weren’t really that good. That’s what I thought when I saw it in the theater and still feel that way.

This is the perfect movie to use for a pinball machine where it is based on making your way through the Jurassic universe and not the characters themselves.

When TWD came out people complained about no actors in it, but the Walking Dead universe worked out very well.

If a setting is rather weak but the story and characters are strong, then of course you want the opposite and the pinball machine should follow the story and have clips and call outs from them.

I like how Stern is rather conservative with their rgb lighting. The problem with some other full rgb games is that they overdo it and it makes it extremely difficult to follow what’s going on or what to shoot for.

I keep hearing this. This is only his second game for Stern. You guys are putting way too much pressure on the guy.

Did they talk about why they cheaped out on the Black Knight toy not being a bash toy by putting that stupid stand up target in front of him or the fact that he doesn’t actually turn his head or move in any way? Did they address the fact that it has the lowest BOM of any modern Stern as well as the least expensive license of any modern Stern, coupled with the highest MSRP of any cornerstone Stern? And they say it’s not selling well? Shocker.

Ignore Levi’s opinions when it comes to Stern. Ever since Stern sponsored his pinball tournament you would think he is the Dinosaur head swallowing Sterns pinballs.

Have you seen Dr.Frighteners posts? I’ve read novels that are shorter. Plus he just keeps repeating his points in every post, so it’s perfectly fine to thumb them up or down without reading the whole thing.

You’re clueless. Are you saying that at the end when you fight the Knight the standup just magically disappears? The flail isn’t even part of him.
Is it higher quality to hit the Knight himself?
You’re goddamn right it is.
But hey, it’s a fun game. Anyway, let’s get back on the subject.

I found a pic of Levi that he can use.

You didn’t call anything. This has been repeated by me and others in the Black Knight thread. And the Black Knight doesn’t do anything so what was your point? It’s a fun game that I will never own because of all the corners Stern cut on it. Again, let’s move on.

Ok

Can we get one of these for Levi?

The problem is that it just takes too long to get really good at pinball. And until you're really good at pinball, you suck at pinball. It takes very little time for young people to figure out patterns and strategies for video games. It takes years to get so good at figuring out vectors and angles and nudging, to the point that you're not even thinking about it, but it's just muscle memory. Most people have the attention span of a goldfish, and are not going to take the time to make pinball a truly enjoyable experience.

For someone who says they don't care what people think about Sterns, you sure do seem to get upset with people anytime they criticize one.

Making a post on pinside criticizing Stern is like blowing a dog whistle. You come running every time. Do you spend all day sifting through every Pinside thread looking for negative Stern comments? It's like you're Batman trying to protect the people of Stern from those evil pinside villains.

No. He’s Batman. It’s not about being a shill so much as feeling the need to protect Stern from any comments that might hurt their feelings.
Commissioner Gomez sends out the bat signal whenever Hazoff is needed.

I agree everyone has a right to opinion, just remember that if you criticize Stern, there is a good chance Hazzoff will call you a douchebag..

Is BK3 really rated the 27th best pinball game ever made?
It’s sorta fun and all but that’s ridiculous.

I like the art. Normally when I say something is craptastic it’s a bad thing. But in this case maybe we can start a movement to change the meaning of the word. #craptastic

I’ve been to Belgium and drank many beers there. Highly overrated. Loved the beers in Austria though.

Sucks. There are 3 or 4 on location around San Francisco, and none in SoCal.

And what about SoCal? It’s ridiculous that there is not a single one to play. I wonder if people are not updating the map on purpose so they can play without interruption. Someone speak up, I’m tired of waiting.

Well then Stern needs to put a SoCal operator in their loop, because there have been 3 or 4 in the San Francisco Area for the last week and none in an area of more than 24 million people. I suppose I could drive 6 hours to play one.

Thanks for the heads up.

They should send all the playfields to Bangladesh or some other place without any regulations, and use that good old toxic clear that seemed to work so well. The new environmentally conscious clear products appear to be inadequate.

The one I played on location the first day it was unboxed flipped well. A week later I went back and the flippers were in bad shape. I have never seen a Stern’s flippers deteriorate so much in just one week.

Well it’s only two reported cases so far, so maybe we should put the brakes on flippergate for now.

Best game since TWD premium.
