Quoted from Psw757:

I hear ya and agree. Been a pretty darn quiet summer for Stern despite all the talent they brought onboard to help with this stuff.
August is upon us and no Star Wars topper, no new announcements regarding next title, no AS code update even though it was late in development months ago and no GB update.

do they need more software QA people?

#802 5 years ago

Only 4 weeks of Summer left!

#803 5 years ago

Which will come first - SW topper or Stern hires a Topper Specialist (an industry first)? I can't believe Stern has started designing the SW topper(s).

Well, it's obviously tournament season.

#805 5 years ago

I’m surprised Stern has not leaked the next title as other than IMDN what game do they have really selling in volume?

I heard GOTG has seen a big surge in sales as of late.

#807 5 years ago

STV!

Seriously though, they'd better announce before I win that IMDN.

#808 5 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

Yup. It's popping up on location all around me.

Was always a great layout, just needed to bake the code quite a bit from launch.

#809 5 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

I might buy GOTG Pro next

Or Maiden premium

Shit, maybe both lol

#810 5 years ago

I'm thinking about getting a Ghostbusters... But, don't know if I should get a pro or a premium... I like the ecto google idea and I think the concept of the magnet slings are really cool... Don't know though...

100% get the premium. No question.
Some machines don't differ all that much from pro to premium. GB premium is a huge upgrade from the pro.

That’s good to hear, my wife loved it, but Stern code was TERRIBLE at launch, so will need to go find an updated machine for her to play on Route.

Its not a bad game at all anymore. It definitely was very underwhelming at launch no question about it. Its came a long ways since then. I like IMDN better personally but if your wife likes the theme and it would make her happy, i would definitely give it a look.

#814 5 years ago

Both good games but man PW, IMDN is just hard to beat. Its a very special game for real.

Pro and premium are both good but the premium on GB is definitely worth the extra coin and the magna slings are fun as hell.

#816 5 years ago

Get the premium for GB. Def worth it

#817 5 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

Yeah, but Maiden's music is absolutely fck'n terrible.

(to my ears)

I listen to dogshit like Riff Raff & Pantera so I'm an idiot.

#818 5 years ago

GOTG (with Cleland's sound mod) > IMDN.

I’ll never own another Stern, ever. But on route for dollars she can play whatever she likes, it’s just hard for routes to stay up on code, but good news I think I found one for her to play which with Stern is a great use of $20

I won't call it terrible but I changed mine day 1 to all Megadeth and it ROCKS

I would advise to buy literally anything other than a gb.... But if you're going to
the Prem is way better than pro.

Couldn’t agree more with this. Such a cool theme ruined by a shitty design.

#823 5 years ago

Love my gb premium if you’re a big gb fan, you’ll love the game.

#824 5 years ago
Quoted from northvibe:

Agree...great game and enjoy the different and difficult layout. Premium is definitely the way to go if you can swing it.

#825 5 years ago
Quoted from delt31:

Get the premium for GB. Def worth it

and pimp the heck out it... candy purple powdercoat, no-glare glass and many other upgrades available.

#826 5 years ago

GB Pro's are still selling well...Stern just did another run of them in the last couple weeks. If you are concerned about it being hard, buy the centerpost lane protector mod, tighten up the outlanes, and turn ball save times up to 30 seconds. Once you get better at it, start reversing the above mods. Also don't forget to adjust the power on the scoops so they do not shoot the ball straight between the flippers.

#827 5 years ago

I guess Deadpool will be in today's address!

Wonder if AS and KISS will be featured?

#828 5 years ago
Quoted from Shapeshifter:

Any reason it can’t be a mid summer mega announcement?

New game, code and topper!

#829 5 years ago

I need to know the Stern of the Union.

#830 5 years ago
Quoted from Shapeshifter:

Deep in development, stay tuned!

#832 5 years ago

What a joke... mid-summer haha...

#833 5 years ago

So AS by end of September.

Which means KISS by Xmas.

Man, the KISS update better be worth the wait!

#834 5 years ago

@shapeshifter
So Kiss as X-MAS present.
Which means Ghostbusters won't be here before January 9th. So it took them exactly 2 years...
I just hope they dont take "final" GB update to serious. One update won't fix it all.

#835 5 years ago
Quoted from Midway-Man:

What a joke... mid-summer haha...

I think we all new the mid summer thing was pie in the sky.
While I am glad they are trying to communicate better it looks like Aerosmith, KISS and GB have been back burner projects
Shame, as Guardians, Batman, Star Wars, and Maiden seem to get updates weekly.

Well, we have all waited so long that you would hope all these updates will be worth the wait.

Great updates and the wait will soon be forgotten.

#837 5 years ago

Maybe try one of these Stern anti-fatigue mats while you're standing around waiting for your code updates and toppers:

#838 5 years ago

Very disappointing.... I really hope spooky and JJP start cranking multiple titles per year soon.

Stern needs some pressure.....

Don't hold your breath.

It still takes JJP 9-10 months after announcing a game to ship it.

#840 5 years ago

Do you remember when GB was going to happen right after SW went to 1.0? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

yeah, pretty ridiculous on this last title.

Guys the world is still covered in a dark night and we haven't recovered from the last 'release' of their 'announcement.'

I'm in the market for a NIB

GOTG or Maiden... or both lol

But I aint buying shit till they deliver on AS

I'd be like one of those women that always take back a cheater if I bought a NIB now.

One day Stern will take us all to the Jerry Springer show & say "I bet you're wondering why I brought you here. Well, I have something to tell you. Remember when I said I was programming, well..."

#844 5 years ago

That Star Wars topper better have more features in it than the machine it sits on.

#845 5 years ago
Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

I don’t really blame Stern...as I think there’s a larger fish holding this up...but I agree with you 100%

Both games are good but Maiden all the way PW. You dont want to deprive yourself of IMDN, its amazing.

GOTG all the way.

#848 5 years ago

Should I buy a NIB Dead Pool now and open it two year from now to update to a playable code. Or do I buy SW or GOTG that code is playable now ? I'm thinking like PW79. Plus Stern sent me my tickets to Jerry and a T shirt.

You never know. My SW & IMDN were updated pretty darn quick. And were always playable.
