Oh crap, I agree with Hilton 100%

I would not mind a game that has no screen, just score.

I love pinball, do not care for movies etc

Yes, please!!!! I want to purchase one real bad - this tweak would push me over

I love AC for what it is, can't wait to play it somewhere. Since it won't be on location where I live, most likely, I hope for a friendly Pinsider in the center NC area to get one.

Game looks fantastic, I just may not have the skills to establish flow. See Houdini, there are games with a high skill ceiling, which is great. It wouldbe a shit hobby would all games be made for the weakest players.

I would love to see the gentleman in charges of rules play it on Video, heard he is somewhat good at Pinball

And I mean it, watching the Pros play IMDN made my day and revealed the pin's full potential, Charly - could you guys be so kind and do the same for AC?
I do not travel to shows but have that sweet POTCCE money sitting here....

That's nothing! *sarcasm*
When my Full Throttle broke down I had, to my surprise, their owner call me repeatedly, on a Saturday afternoon - making it well past midnight UK time - on my cell phone!!

Turned out he saw that I held a Doctorate when reading my emails and tried to make me invest in his pinballl company, my FTh was never even addressed.

True story.

Up until 2 weeks ago I would have said "Helmut's Phone Number"

I had the first day email in my inbox from my fave Spooky distributor, money in hand as well, wanted this game BAD as it is gorgeous and I like the theme a lot.

And then I saw the early videos, one even posted by Charlie himself, and realized that all castles are obviously build from bricks.

It is wonderful to know that the Spooky love is strong enough to sell out all 500, wish it would have been a game for me.

My exact situation. Had money ready to send in once i saw the art and heard about the really cool rules and ideas..... then I saw the gameplay.

According to Hilton you can go ahead and call products junk on here, I know Hilton will not mind.

and I would rather see a beginner get an Iron Man than this brick fest. At least even missed shots with IM are somewhat rewarding, this on the other looks terrible, in video after video.

Then show me up and buy one..... didn't think so.....

Ahhh...buyers remorse...now i understand.

A company where you buy because you like the people, not the pin.
That is what I am getting out of it after following the threads here on pinside.

Go to YouTube and watch Buffalo Pinball's AC video. That is all you need to form an opinion.

Maybe similar, but not the same situation.
TNA was played for months both at festivals and on stream and that is what got people hooked. The game rocked. And that is why Charly wanted it. The game existed first, then came the hype based on its merits.

ACNC is the other way around. Hype first. Presale and unrefundable deposits first. Then hardly any streams, no showings.

Once streams started all saw that this is not a great shooter and has next to no toys. Now some want out. And can't as unlike TNA no one is interested in getting other people's slots.

TNA slots were sold at a huge premium here on Pinside, ACNC slots cannot even be given away or seems (Ice)

Looks beautiful
