Quoted from fattrain:

Me = Agree 1000%

I'm in the exact same boat

Me... +5

My $$$ has now gone to JJP (TH), Jpop (ZA) and PPA (MMr). I do enjoy my Stern games (7 of 30), however, they'll not see another dime from me, until they change their half baked, push them out the door, and hopefully nobody cares games any longer. I dropped my STLE like a hot potato, no regrets.

Stern step up, update the desperately needed code updates and take care of your 1,000's of past customers.

Thank You!

Quoted from Rarehero:

The right theme + Lyman will make me break my rule lol
I've been playing Metallica A LOT over the past few weeks and am just loving the hell out of it...so, absolutely no regrets. ST is a neutral theme to me and I have STTNG already, so I don't mind sitting it out. The rumored upcoming themes don't really do anything for me either....so 2014 is a total "wait and see" year for me with NIB unless someone just blows me away out the gate.

I'm with you all the way because I also broke the promise for the right theme and designer.

And that was my point. Don't make promises we can't keep.

I think some of the comments in this thread are a bit harsh. Xmen, as it stands today, is a great game with great code. Sure it could use a little polish, but its code is as good as most B/W games with a lot more to do. The code in that game is no longer holding it back. Yes it was a hard road, and yes it would be great to see it polish up. But there are much worse games to complain about. I think most are soured up on xmen due to the early code drops and how bad they were. Really, all its missing is some polish on a wizard mode most will never see and a speculated but never promised dead pool option that's been in the menus - where the menus themselves could have been the issue.

TAV is fine as is even if its never updated. Same with every game out there except WoF and Metallica. Star Trek even seems quite decent now with its current code and we know they're not done there.

This thread is pretty nuts. It started out ok with good intent. But when you have complainers about acdc code, which is freaking awesome. And people citing how fantastic woz code is, with its ridiculously incomplete code, its clear that most are just hating to hate.

Quoted from iceman44:

Might just be Jpop....you never know

Jpop's projects are irrelevant. I don't think they'll ever get done...but, if they do - he clearly isn't making a business plan that is inclusive of people who want to see what they're buying...it's only for people who want to pay $10k+ 5 years in advance. So I'll humor you and assume his games will be built...if I like one of them, then what? I can't buy one...lol. So at the end of the day if he makes a game or doesn't, it's the same thing to me. Whatevs, I've got my ToM and CV.

Quoted from markmon:

Stop saying that. Wizard mode doesn't have any dots. That's not fine. Also there's a bug with Thor's backpanel flasher...that should be an easy fix.

Quoted from pinmods:

The days of ignoring the customer are coming to an end. You either change or you die.

Sorry, but odds on that are long. If Stern turns out a good pin with a compelling theme, people are gonna buy it.

It's mind over matter. Gary doesn't mind because our rants about this don't matter.

This is a good point, Markmon.

I really hope that my initial intent for starting this thread isn't lost. I wasn't trying to facilitate an arena to just spew negativity. I just wanted to voice my concerns as a frustrated customer in hopes that MAYBE someone at Stern MIGHT take these concerns into consideration in future projects, because I know that the issue if "incomplete" code, slow code updates and poor communication seem to always pop up on this forum.

But I guess I should expect it, when people vent (including myself) we can sometimes veer off into negativity for negativity's sake.

I've stated a few times throughout this thread that I love Stern games, I'm not trying to "bury" Stern or anything like that, just trying to quantify that their current business culture of poor communication and coding habits might be costing them a little money in the future.

And you're right, Xmen is awesome as is, I think, I'm a huge champion of that game, as my forum activity will trumpet. But it still saddens me that XM could be an absolute top tier game if they took the time to clean some stuff up and add a few things to finish it out and bring it all together. Just frustrating is all, I would hope that you and other hobbyists could see that.

#257 10 years ago

Stern's designs/layouts of many of the recent releases have been flat out excellent IMO. I don't think Stern has done the right thing by not supporting some of these great designs with adequate (almost complete) code in a reasonable amount of time. So I definitely relate to some of the sentiments being expressed here. However, I'm hopeful Stern will change with the times and dedicate the time and money necessary to back their product with great code on both new and old releases. Seriously we are pinball addicts Mr. Stern just begging you to give us a great pin to spend our money on don't give us a huge reason not to buy.

Exactly, but there will always be pinheads complaining about rules, code, etc. Look at the MMR. A unquestionably amazing pin that was so popular that it's price rose to absolute stratospheric levels. They issue a remake for the current market price of an LE and you hear 60 seconds of rejoicing and weeks of bitching about the price. If you can't turn out an MM at market price without people tossing a fit, why listen to a bunch of griping addicts when your pins are still selling? This "we won't buy" thing is a hollow threat Dude... All I'm saying.

My friends didn't die face down in the muck for pins with incomplete code, Dude!

Why would I sell games I have and enjoy now & give up money for something that doesn't exist and after years only has theories and sketches to show? The guy hasn't finished 1 game, has the balls to take money for #2 and a dropped a 3rd ball to contemplate #3.

How do we know if a 100% Jpop creation would be as good as a B/W Jpop game?

Quoted from swf127:

I actually don't think it is a hollow threat at all. I think they are already losing out on sales because of the lack of coding on their pins. With the added competition I think they could lose even more if they don't change. If people are actually buying from other manufacturers because of this it is an issue worth addressing IMO. I don't want Stern to fail at all. That's not what I want to see as I love many of their recent designs. What I would love to see is them listen to their past and present customers and improve on providing great code for their pins in a reasonable amount of time.

#269 10 years ago
Quoted from Rcade:

Danger mode exists and has in full capacity since a couple updates ago. Dark Pheonix animations were finished and implemented with the most recent update, but the rules therein are the "Lonnie Special" currently. The last Wizard mode in XM is all text at the moment though.
Deadpool mode, although not on the card, has been an option in the adjustments menu since day one, and still doesn't exist, heck, there's only ONE sound call out that is possibly Deadpool in the game code current.y, but nothing other than that.

Wolverine's mode is on the card but not in the game...

#271 10 years ago
Quoted from metahugh:

Wolverine's mode is on the card but not in the game...

Not quite. It WAS correct when the card came out.

The release code, which the card was based on, had Wolvie mode separate from WXMB. But after the complete rules overhaul after the release code, the instruction card is no longer valid in some spots, because the entire rule layout has changed.

So while it is CURRENTLY inaccurate, it WAS correct when they made the card for the release code.

.....although it still doesn't excuse them from not making updated cards for the games manufactured after the release code overhaul.

#272 10 years ago
Quoted from smokedog:

It took 2 years for Tron to be complete. Not saying XMen will be complete then, but I wouldnt give up hope.
If I still owned XMen that is ...

Tron code was fine before it's last update. In fact, I actually downgraded (went back) to the prior code. I liked the prior code fine, it didn't suck at all like XM LE. I mean, to me to really finish Tron was great and helps me as I want all my games to be super great. But it also spits in the face of XM code because at the time XM code was crap and still is crap as far as I'm concerned. And Stern goes and makes an already great Tron code better.

I know these are two different teams and all. But just to say it took 2 years to finish Tron, I don't know, I think Tron was fairly good on the prior code and I still am playing that code. I want to wait and treat myself to the updated code some time in the future.

To me Tron code might have gone from a 9.1 to a 9.5 (or whatever grade you want). I am looking at XM as a 6.1 grade and I think it should be fixed or updated to a passing grade which is 8.0 or better.

The problem is, Tron wasn't nearly as messed up as XM. Like to complete Tron was like ass a bit of rules extra ball some DMD animation or whatever else they added. It already was very good.

XM was such a horrible mess, they almost need to tear it all down and start over if they want to be a great game. I think either they are not working on it at all, or it's so messed up it's almost beyond repair and that's why we are not getting any updates.

#273 10 years ago

Interesting. I remember on version 1.0 that shipped, there was a Wolverine mode, but the release had scoring errors so it was updated a few days later. Does anyone remember what the mode was like? Didn't you have to beat magneto in order to start collecting anything? I remember the first version of the rules was very linear but the first couple of games I was unable to beat Magneto to get anything going...

Correct. In The release code you had to bear Mags right off the bat to be Able to collect the heroes. It was pretty bad.

This is 1.1 code, not 1.0, so by 1.1 they did away with the mandatory Mags MB .

I do really miss the original background music from the early code, pretty cool....

I'd like to see that as well and I bear them no ill will either. I think their goal isn't necessarily to saturate the market but really to maximize their profit. I guess the real question is how many sales do they think they're losing due to code quality. If they're used to making 3,000 per title and those are selling, where's the incentive to bring on two more software engineers? If a software engineer costs ~220K fully loaded, I'd assume that increased code quality would have to directly translate to a 200-300 additional pins sold per year just to break even. I don't know what the margin is but I'm assuming 30-35%.

So couldn't agree with you more but I'm looking for the catalyst that would cause them to respond and not seeing one until 2015-2016. I'm just waiting to shove a pin and have it yell "Careful man! There's a beverage here!"

I am not a huge Apple fan in fact I dislike their overpriced PC hardware.
I much prefer a rooted Android over anything Apple as well but that's another topic.

Complaining about pinball machine code is parallel to bagging on operating systems. Microsquat as well as other devs have never released a "complete" version of any OS but most run apps and function to a certain extent.
Pinball game code is similar IMHO because it all basically works with some releases more complete than others and usually gets some form of an update down the line.

If you refuse to buy a pinball machine based on some level of code completion try applying that same logic to a PC or smartphone and you will be making calls using tin cans & string or surfing the net on your TRS-80.

What has JJP done to justify all the adolation? They still haven't managed to ship a full run of their first pin, the playfield GI is sorely lacking, and the software isn't finished. How is this better than Stern? WOZ is a gorgeous machine, to be sure, but the JJP apologists are spreading the manure a little thick.

There are complaints like "my IM does not do attract noises, the instant info is useless, and I would like an earnable extra ball"

Then there are complaints like "the game is borked, is almost catching fire, and does not add scores correctly" (see early X-men).

Then in the middle there is "you promised me a Cadillac, and delivered a buggy pulled by a donkey (to date)". Buggies can be fun, but you paid for a damn Cadillac (see Metallica).

So yeah, there is all sorts of justified code ranting, not just "nice to have" tweaks.

Or : It works but can or should work better.

I agree for the amount of money paid there should be a high level of code performance provided, without waiting.
(I had a NIB WOF so tell me about incomplete coding.....inserts that do not light up)

Until sales drop due to direct code issues not much will likely change unless the respective companies take up the task themselves. I still think the number of people they boycott an actual purchase is small and overpricing games will affect sales more than code related issues.

Like the shiny car on the lot that looks nice until you spend some time driving it.
Once you figure it out they have your money and its not coming back.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Stop saying that. Wizard mode doesn't have any dots. That's not fine. Also there's a bug with Thor's backpanel flasher...that should be an easy fix.

I don't care about dots in the display during wizard mode. I'd be too busy watching and hitting the balls to be looking for various animations on the off playfield Dmd. Sure it would be great to have some dots just like and LCD would be great with colors. But it really isn't critical. Neother that nor a buggy flasher grounds for public outrage at what is reasonably decent code in TAV otherwise.

Quoted from iceman44:

But you could sell those two to get a 100% all Jpop creation, and have some cash leftover, just sayin IF of course he actually gets these projects done and out the door as you doubt will happen

I'm not talking about public outrage...I'm talking about doing the right thing. Just because YOU don't care doesn't mean it's right for a $6k+ NIB game to be missing animation for it's final mode. A flasher bug would probably take 2 seconds to fix and another 2 to upload as an update. Just because YOU are OK with unfinished code & bugs doesn't make it acceptable. We get it....finished games aren't important to you....you may have convinced yourself it's acceptable, but no one else is buying what you're selling.

#293 10 years ago
Quoted from rai:

XM was such a horrible mess, they almost need to tear it all down and start over if they want to be a great game. I think either they are not working on it at all, or it's so messed up it's almost beyond repair and that's why we are not getting any updates.

I'm with you there. I will say I think the most recent X-Men code is the best version there has been, but I will also say with the latest code, I believe they have gone beyond the point of making it as good as it should have been.

I was playing a game last night...Sentential mode, Weapon X multiball and combos....all fighting for insert space. What a mess. Just too many things on X-Men that are simple messed up. They would have been much better not adding the 3rd wizard mode and fixing what they already had in place and re-adding stuff they had stripped out.

As I have said before, I'm sure some people enjoy the game and that is fine. I just put way too much time into thinking what the game easily could have been....and it would have been much better than what we have now, if it would have went the direction I had envisioned.

Quoted from markmon:

Well obviously he isn't building, designing, coding, drawing it all himself, yes he does have a "team" that he controls and directs through his vision for the game.........there was a "team" at Bally that he was a part of, and it went very well there with his/team's projects......now he has no restraints or limitations in the creative process. We know all of this because of the weekly blog updates, pictures, stories, etc....anybody that is in or that has seen the progress at Jpop's shop knows, for now though, the naysayers can have some fun with it, that's ok! Already been down that Woz naysayer road

Didn't we go from JJ is a "fraud", he'll be bankrupt soon, he's in the bahamas with everybody's money, "Woz will never ship", blah, blah, blah........now we are down to "look, there is a chip ding in the cabinet right out of the box", "the GI lighting sucks"........oh how things have changed, while it was tumultuous for sure, I never doubted JJP would create a great pin, they did, and I have zero doubts or concerns that Jpop will exceed Woz in most aspects except code......

Getting to see the whole process evolve from our "cult leader" is worth the price of admission itself if you love pinball.........
