I hope everyone cancels their orders. I bought a JJPOTC CE and SE while reading the exact same advice from people who hadn’t even played the game. Worked out just fine for me. Same for GB, JP2, BM66, etc.
I opened an LE and it is fantastic, the projector makes a huge difference and the ball lock is badass. Projector and screen make the game very immersive. Each target and image projected area is mapped and is individually adjustable in the settings. Pretty cool stuff. Game plays fast and smooth. Moving demo adds a lot to the experience too. Almost like it is taunting you.
Here are the dumbest things I have heard spewed on this site about this game:
1) Projector is dim- wrong. It is just hard to film. Same as with filming dmd’s, TVs etc
2). No wire Ramps- how exactly is an image supposed to be projected on a wire ramp???
3). Hopper voice overs sound “unenthusiastic”. - yeah, because when I think of Hopper, I think exuberant enthusiasm. That’s exactly what the show goes for.
4). Not enough toys- go look at Iron Maiden
5) bad artwork- it is hand drawn and is drawn to represent the look and feel of the show in a manner that would be approved by the licensor, not pinside art experts.
6) shots look clunky- dead wrong. You want to see clunky, go play BM66.
7) Rules are too shallow- go play Tron
8 ) the demo shot is un-makeable - learn to adjust your games or “play better!” What fun would it be if it was easy. Sort of like hitting the hyper loop or blowing up the Death Star
If I didn’t like it, I would just dump it. It is fast and has the speed of SW. it has the speed of a Ritchie game with the shots of Eddy. tons of shots and what appears to be the beginning of a great rule set. The sounds are fantastic, especially when hooked to a sub.
Based on my past buying experiences and 7 years of Not following pinsides bad, but plentiful and free, advice, I want to encourage everyone here to immediately cancel their orders. The sky is falling!!!
