Quoted from Fytr:
IMHO the subject material with this theme is totally unsuitable for kids, regardless of whether you remove the swearing or not. Rick's relationship with Morty and others is completely toxic. It's all in good edgy fun for adults but you need to have a level of maturity that kids simply lack to discern the layers here. Just my opinion, of course, and I'm far from a prude, but I would NOT let my kids younger than 14 or so watch this show at all.
I guess we'll have to see what the Family Mode actually presents to judge, but it's hard to imagine how the adventures can be made "safe" enough for kids will still having enough "there" to base a game on.

Who cares

Dont think too small kids will get the toxicness either, as it needs a certain maturity to appreciate it.

Quoted from Zablon:
Well they did say the spinner was misaligned which was causing issues with that shot. I also noticed no one made the garage from the left orbit, but just looking at it, it looks like there is no direct line to it except from the upper flipper so timing will be key, and it looks to be pretty tight off that left ramp.[quoted image]

I wondered if the spinner was misaligned... So I went and rewatched the video and I think this may not be the case, it might be something else: I'm sharing the below in hopes that it may be some help:

There appeared to be:
-12 legitimate shots to the upper inner loop

-2 were slightly not accurate and actually hit a rubber killing the shot
-2 were too weak and wouldn't have made it

There were 8 clean shots:

-0 hit the spinner and lost momentum from doing so
-3 shots were successful
-And here's the interesting one... 5 shots hit the wall at it's vertical portion, absorbing the momentum before it could be transferred to vertical trajectory, making the orbit shot fail.

What does this mean? Around 40% of clean shots to the orbit made it around successfully (limited sample obviously). It looks like when the shot goes higher in the entrance it hits the wall and is unsuccessful, when it goes lower, momentum is retained, transferred upwards and the shot is successful. I don't know, maybe adding more curve to the top portion of the wall could help?

You can see what I'm talking about here:

I'm in on one of these and am want this to be a huge success, sharing in the spirit of hoping this info may be of use.

I didnt buy MB because it was too easy and i would be bored.

In my opinion a game must have a certain fun, frustration level.

The shots should look easy but be challenging.

And be lightning fast at times yet controllable.

I think the game looks like all of that was accomplished.

Seems no different than alot of games. Getaway is but one example, the upper orbit shot has a "sweet spot" (or window) and if you do not strike within it then the shot is not viable.

Quoted from guitarded:

I agree.

Also, those new spinners when fresh off the press seem a bit "dragy" and tight. My TNA spinner when new did not spin anywhere near as freely as any of my older games. After it had a chance to bed in it was a bit better, then a spot of dry lube on the wire where it spins helped even more. Now it spins quite well.

I think this will be the same, a little fine tuning will help alot.

FT is not really a good comparison. When you make the boat ramps it's silky smooth and never dribbles back. If you are bricking then you are just missing the ramp shot completely.

In the video people are making inner orbit shot but it dribbled back after going part way around. Bricking would mean you miss the inner orbit completely. As others have said HS2 is a very good comparison because you have to nail it in just the right spot to avoid dribbling around whereas the Shadow seems to be a little more forgiving.

Yes , you are correct . The only thing videos are good for is to show some features , light shows ,art ,sound ,modes, lcd clips ect . Videos are absolutely useless as a guide to determine how a game shoots, especially since everyone plays different . The only way anyone can ever know how a game plays/shoots for them is to actually play the game . I hope everyone gets a chance to play this game at some point . I will say that the upper orbit (for me ) has about the same feel as the upper orbit on Iron maiden , meaning it is about the same skill level to me to hit and loop . I think by comparing it to other games that many more people have played gives people a better idea of what it might be like .Hope that helps and I really hope you get to play a Rick and Morty sometime in the near future .

This is Pinside, where watching 5 mins of footage permanently forms opinions!

I still shake my head at the RAZA fiasco. Pinside armchair quarterbacks so sure the ramp shot is "unmakeable" and "a problem."
Having actually played the game myself, it's fine and fun. I have no doubt Rick and Morty will be also.

I truly wonder why Pinside seems to love finding flaws and exaggerating their importance.

I would say that is the hardest shot in the game , but you can achieve the same thing by hitting the right orbit which I consider a medium to easy shot . when I played the game the code was that when the portal was open you could enter the garage and access the portal from either of the shots .

Hardest shot in game (off the tip of the upper flipper).
Sometimes you can get to the garage via the right orbit, but other times you are locked out by the diverter. Sometimes only the upper flipper garage shot is lit (like for a super jackpot). The game knows from which direction the ball entered the garage because of optos.

Here's the current way the diverter works:

The right orbit will 'always' divert UNLESS:
- There is something lit in the garage and allowed from the right orbit (Portal for dimension, Super JP in the main multiball)
- You very recently rolled over the left in-lane switch (for looping)
- There is an adventure rule that prevents the divert (Whirly Dirly does this, again for looping)

You get 1 super jackpot per multiball from the right orbit, after that, it will divert.
There's a set number of dimension changes that are allowed from the right orbit, after that you'd have to use the garage - this is adjustable.

And again, this is just how it works NOW. Things may change.
