Hello folks.

After watching several videos from Papa, and their livestream today I've found myself sitting here thinking, that I just don't enjoy watching ST at all. I don't know how why, as I in general love watching those tournaments (not as much as playing myself obviously > ) but ST just doesn't seem to do it for me. I think I got the rules down quite well, and I understand what's going on, but I just feel, meh. Other machines I've seen doesn't do this, be it Bally, Stern, Williams or whatever.

Does anyone else have that feeling about this machine in particular?

(Note, I bet ST is A BLAST to play, though I don't know as I don't have that kind of funds- this topic is merely discussing watching the machine).
EDIT: This is NOT a bash ST thread.

Maybe, though I think it looks great to actually play, with all the flow ramps etc, but watching it might just not be me.

Yeah that may be something that takes some of the buzz off. Timing out modes is not for the viewers pleasure, Thats for sure! :=)

Yeah, I liked it as introduction, and I actually thought it was solid! Ever since then I have just been disappointed in tournament play :< It's been used a lot lately in tournaments but it just have me tab out and do something else, unlike most other machines, where I actually find myself drawn to watch.

I guess it's just not my game to watch.

Then don't

Some of us live in places where accesability to high end machines aren't easy, and it's not everyone who has the funds either.
Also if you actually read the first post, then I'm not trying to bash ST , and especially not the actual gameplay since I have no idea how it is, and most of the feedback I have heard is that it's amazing.
The point of the thread was if anyone else shared the feeling that WATCHING the game, compared to others, was a little, meh.

It's not playing the game, it's WATCHING it, that was rather boring somehow.

Title updated to reflect this is now a strategy talking thread :p
