So, the update has a very long changelog list. The new lighting and sound effects are great. The game is definitely a lot better than it was.

However, for those of you that did nothing but complain about the rules and how every mode felt "the same" before, I don't see how it's any different now. Yet all those same people seem pretty pleased with the update. Why is that?

Personally, I've been ok with the rules all along. They're not fantastic, but they're not terrible. In this update, it feels like really none of the rules have changed at all. Sure there are some small rule changes like the addition of the shield targets lighting the left outlane on the pro or the setting that use to exist now being defaulted to "ON" where 3 deep gives you a 2x shot for the game. But for the most part nothing has changed. The list is long, Steve Ritchie posted it himself showing he cares, lots of new call outs, no real rule changes, and everyone is happy? Well I'm happy that people are happy. I am happy, too. But it is still confusing.

Quoted from RobT:

It's not fair to blame Urban for his own work?
He's the actor that played Bones in the movie. He knows the character! He should have been able to give plenty of enthusiasm and emotion without direction from a pinball designer.

Actually, I don't think you can. First off, several quotes were provided and the game designers chose what to use, what not to use, and where to use it. Second, Karl is a great actor. But his emotion always shows up on his face. Verbally, he is bland. That's his style. From Cesar on Xena, to Bones in Star Trek, to judge dredd...all his roles express emotion via facial expressions not strong voice.
