Quoted from magickeys:I have 5 JJPs in my collection and I’ve had every single issue that I’ve had over the years solved with a phone call. Perhaps I’m an anomaly according to a lot I see here on Pinside, but I felt their support team was awesome from day one of my first pin.
I have Hobbit BA & POTC (bought used) and Wonka CE (NIB) myself and have had no issues, so I read all the intense hate and am just puzzled. Also, I love all 3 of those games. I have never played Dialed In, and I straight up didn't like GnR, but I would never buy any music themed pin anyway (lol except maybe Dua Lipa because it'd still be great to look at).
Despite loving JJP, I am a bit underwhelmed by this release. I understand that IP is an issue, but strategically I don't think you pick TS4.
Quoted from cscmtp:I just wish Keith Elwin and George Gomez could design pins as good as that talented team at JJP....said no one ever...
You know, the best of both worlds would be a Keith Elwin designed playfield and shot layout / ruleset with JJP's far superior digital art / multimedia capability and premium feel. I love Keith Elwin games, but when you look at what's going on on the screen and compare any Stern vs a JJP pin - the Stern might as well have DMD. Obviously can't speak to shots on TS4 yet, but JJP has forgotten more about how to design and render animation than Stern knows and this will likely show in the TS4 integration of scenes in the game.
