Quoted from Rarehero:It’s not that it’s hard, it’s that it’s poorly designed which results in unfair and annoying gameplay - resulting in airball drains, outlane hops, and STDM drains from various places regardless of skill. Also, many don’t like the design of the rules, with the skill shot weighing so heavily on progress & the linear mode ladders.
I see these complaints often but haven’t had any issues straight out the box with airballs or outline hops, in almost two years. And I read time and again from owners that have had those problems that a few minor tweaks correct them. Occasionally I get a SDTM from the pops but I occasionally get SDTMs on all my games, it’s pinball.
I do agree put some time in and pick what you like. Plenty of people love their GBs but there is an extremely vocal group of people that love to trash it.
