Quoted from powerslave:Because JJP give new code for WOZ each month.Just for fun look what Stern gave for the last 4 games on the last 9 month and you gone understand
Lets look at the last four games. I own them all:
- xmen - code almost there. Needs a little polish only. I'm happy. Even if its never updated again, there are worse coded games. Xmen has a lot to do. Goals and wizard mode there now. I'm happy.
- avengers - code release almost done. I guess wizard mode dots aren't too good. I haven't gotten there. Game feels solid and polished and the rules are all there. Very satisfied. Game released this way. No updates requires. I'm happy.
- Metallica - a Lyman game. Worst code progress at this stage in pinball. It should get better but the game is close to unplayable. I'm not happy
- Star Trek - code is really good even if it never updates. The game feels solid and complete. Lots more is yet to come. Very well done. I'm happy.
As for frequent WoZ updates, that's because of two reasons:
1) JJP has one game. So their staff of developers either works on that it sits idle watching soap operas on TV. I doubt hobbit is at coding stages yet.
2) WoZ was released with unplayably incomplete code. Way worse than even xmen initial release. So ya they have to update regularly. Even with all these updates, WoZ still feels less complete than stern's Star Trek.
Look its great to have 58285727275 threads on incomplete code. After all, no one has heard it before, right? But its silly for a known JJP enthusiast to complain about *stern* code and not acknowledge that woz code is even worse. How about we start a thread "JJP unfinished code 100% of their games unfinished". Or "JJP had never finished code, ever"
I'm not complaining about JJP code either. It'll get done. But it makes no sense for the same folks bitching about stern and even acdc code to be happy with JJP.
Btw, I own WoZ and have full paid for hobbit. So I'm not biased one way or the other.
