Quoted from PinMonk:Heh, for sure. I had a fantasy that they would update the game to take into account what's happened in the last few seasons. That clearly ain't happening.
Not "clearly ain't happening". It's not in this initial update.
At least we know wtf is currently being worked on.
Quoted from FatPanda:Stern's little carrot...and everyone goes crazy!
Yeah let's NOT have any updates and shitty communication. Wtf
Some people will bitch and whine and will never be happy
Quoted from CNKay:DP has been doing this for months and weekly even.
Skating away, on the thin ice of a new day!
Yep, DP is a good analogy to Stern.
Wow, F ing Wow.
DP is a pathetic joke.
Quoted from c508:Do people actually think this is going to be a "regular" publication?
Well, updates won't mean shit unless they actually complete some tasks and deliver on the promises.
I think they will. With Josh there now, its shit or get off the pot time.
Time to actually make this a real thing.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Yeah I have it:
Stern: "We don't like wide bodies"
2hrs later
JJP reveals an absolutely amazing widebody.
And the Stern being out of touch with the rest of the pinball world continues...back to the clipart board for them I guess.
Maybe they can get away with not updating code or quality on a pro pin. By comparison, its a great value on certain pins.
But when you peddle LE's, especially 30th anniversary $$ grabs, you better deliver BIG TIME on both quality and code.
I don't think it has sunk in yet with Stern. I suspect after POTC it will.
I'm not saying they can't come back because apparently GOTG is "packed" and "different" but i just spent my GOTG $$ on a POTC CE.
A poke in the eye not getting us the BM66 code while its on the machines at Expo. Wtf
Quoted from MinusWorlds:Sorry Batman owners.
Why? I'm thrilled, thanksgiving and xmas code coming.
"Be on the lookout for a teaser pic soon showing some things in the works involving the minor villain mode implementation; some very unique and innovative rules!"
Emphasis on unique and innovative
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Hey Dwight, when are you going to polish up GOT?
Hey Dwight, when are you going to polish up GB?
Quoted from pintechev:OMG. This is fantastic.
It's great but can we get code done Lyman style MUCH faster?
They have the designers.
Quoted from pintechev:Can’t we be happy about something for once
Everybody bitches about Stern code non stop.
It's great that Eddy is coming on board at Stern.
I'd buy an Eddy/Lyman game.
Or the theme has to be phenomenal to accept less than Lyman.
Quoted from pinlawyer:Best use of real estate ever: The Shadow. Welcome back, Brian Eddy!!
And put him with a great theme and Lyman! Oh man.
Bottom line, don't buy Lonnie coded games. I only bought ASLE because it was a cut and paste of KISS and i figured updates were coming sooner than later, but no.
And GBLE, while i love the pin its in need of a big update that uses all of the features that are in the game in a way that screams Lyman.
But i doubt we will get anything significant. They just don't give a F like Lyman does.
I've only got the Beatles left on the radar and i know Lyman ain't doing that code. Might be my last Stern.
You can't keep upping the F ing price and offer less on code. Code makes the game, see BM66, TWD, SM, etc.
Quoted from Who-Dey:What about The Munsters and Elvira 3?
No on Elvira3 and unfortunately it looks like Lonnie is doing Munsters.
Seriously, you can't pay a shit load of $$$ on these HUO games and accept that BS.
Just come out and say this is a "location game only" and code will suck because it doesn't matter.
Stern, if you want to keep selling these 1/2 ass HUO coded pins then be prepared to suffer the consequences down the road.
We aren't F ing idiots. IMDN was done long ago and its great.
But there are plenty of people like me that have had it.
Let me know when Lyman is doing the next game, that's what I'd like to see.
Quoted from kermit24:How do you guys even know that Lonnie is still working for Stern? I think he is done.
Can someone confirm this?
He’s a MAJOR negative
Quoted from TheLaw:It's just as simple as if he is the lead I will not buy the game.
Amen brother Law
Guy just doesn’t give a shit
Quoted from TomGWI:I am Wondering if Lyman is just going to be doing KaPow titles for now on.
Well Joe said he wasn’t on the Beatles!
Another team is working on that pin
Quoted from Sinestro:Well, since Lonnie isn't driving GOTG anymore, you shouldn't have any reason not to buy it!
Who is?
Quoted from Sinestro:His name is slipping my mind, but he's new, and he's driving the rules from .90 forward.
I’m hopeful. Stern is set to roll
I’ll take anything new
Quoted from kermit24:1. Lonnie has been off GOTG for quite some time.
2. Stern has hired a ton of programmers lately.
3. Keith Elwin said that some of the "9 to 5 ers" had left Stern recently during the Head 2 Head interview. Pretty sure he wasn't referring to the janitor.
That’s music to my ears
Joe K seemed happy with his code crew
It’s a HUGE f ing deal to get right
Quoted from paul_8788:I dunno, B66 seems to be a special case for some reason, whether it is Gomez or Lyman. No game has had two years of dedicated effort like B66 has. Lyman has reportedly done work on his own personal time to polish older games up, but Stern seems to be letting him stay focused on B66 full time. Other devs seem to get moved onto new machines much more quickly.
Make great code with updates.
Sell more pins. Pretty simple
Maybe Stern GB license has expired
As for BM66 it started with next to nothing BUT
You always knew Lyman would deliver a masterpiece again. And he has/is
For some reason I don’t have any faith in GB being meaningful. Still a fun pin
Quoted from JodyG:Doubtful, they did a run of GB pro's around July.
I realize they have staffed up and are doing a much better job but use some of that MASSIVE TAX CUT and hire more people to get it done. Right Levi?
New meaningful code sparks more sales
