Quoted from frolic:

The interesting thing about Avengers is Stern did shoot themselves in the foot. If the game had another month inside before release, and these issues were addressed, the game would have been much more successful. They would have been selling Premiums, lots more Pros, etc. The license is a huge one, one of the biggest ever, and will be relevant for years.
Obviously it is an owner's favorite, the ones who have spent the time with it fixing it up. If everyone had that "dialed in" experience on day 1, it would be a monster release. Instead, all kinds of money disappeared. Literally millions of dollars in lost sales from a few hundred extra units never being produced.
I'm sure the game will find its fans as the existing units get corrected and more people play it as intended, but that will not help Stern down the road when they could have made money off it today.

Yeah, but no original voices from movies really sucks. I can't imagine playing IM without hearing quotes from the movie.

Quoted from tracelifter:

The reason I sold the game is because it is a cheaply made POS.
Speaking of bleeding edge one last tip, when your Hulk mech takes a dump put a piece of tape down the edge of the metal bracket that holds the bridge motor, that is as thin as a tin can and isn't deburred and it will cut the shit out of the back of your hand.
It isn't like I have never worked on a game or held a mech in my hands, you can say it doesn't matter but when shit is so cheaply made the flipper buttons pop out or an Allen head just twists off like butter and again it isn't like I have never loosened an Allen bolt and I know when to stop turning and add heat or impact the thing just gave up the frikken ghost with light pressure.
It didn't have a damn thing to do with the gameplay or the callouts the game is very addicting it is just for the price the quality and zero attention to detail coupled with no response from Stern I sold the damn thing.
I own my own business and when an employee goes on vacation another employee takes that position to service our customers.
Pat is on vacation is not a valid excuse to me anyway.
Stern can make these games out of paper mache as far as I am concerned I will never buy another one.
If you have this game and another older Stern run your finger up and down the side of the service rails the ones on my ELVIS are smooth and deburred, the ones on Hulk are sharp.
Cheaper, cheaper cheaper while the price goes higher and higher.
I would have kept this game if it was better built but if the dog hadn't stopped to take a shit it would have caught the rabbit.
IMO people are selling the game for the same reason Eskay sold it, this dog won't hunt out of the box, you can get it to play properly but you can't keep it from falling apart.
Look at his vid and count how many times either launcher shot the ball to the rollovers.
Good enough, screw testing just shove it in the box and ship it and let the end user deal with it.
I am just shaking my head about the springs on the drops on Met how the hell does a game leave the factory like that?
Lack of care that is how it happens.

Revenues and profits are on the up and up, so cutting costs is working......for now.
