I have seen the light, I never thought of it this way

the only thing better than that would be all the clowns that are gonna sit on nib LE's only to see their "investment" tank. I had a chance to sell my wolverine for only a $500 loss in mid October. I held out for good code (more specifically I was talked into waiting) only to now be in a position to lose $1500-2000. I would love to see people who spent $9000 on these struggle to sell them for $5500. maybe what the pin hobby needs is a correction in the market.

I know we have only seen a few small videos and do not know how the gameplay is programmed, but from the little we have seen this looks to be a solid title!

I agree, I believe we need a market correction

It's been said many times before, but it seems to bear repeating:

!!!!!BUY PINBALLS TO PLAY, NOT AS INVESTMENTS!!!!!

The pin hobby and speculating on a NIB pin are two different animals. Some guys are just into betting on the demand on nib games, and they will win some and lose some.

The pin hobby is a larger, more diverse, representation of the overall demand of the pinball community, unrelated to the speculating going on in NIB games.

You can get upset over the NIB games, I wouldnt let it bother me. If you want one, get up early and get one. Just like the speculators did.

I know people speculated on the METLE? Did Stern have two LEs?

+1...this is the bottom line, but for those players who like the 'extras':

What if Stern actually made a Tron Premium with the same bells and whistles as the Tron LE. I'm betting Tron LE wouldn't be demanding as much $$ as it is right now.

Metallica has that premium option for buyers. If you want all the extras for the Metallica pin, you have an option available. I don't see what the big deal is here. Am I missing something?

#15 10 years ago

If history is any indication, whether the game sucks or not, the hype will outshine the reality on the machine for at least six months, as those who paid big bucks will be apprehensive to admit it wasn't worth it and those who are looking to flip games don't want the value to go down. So it's going to take some time before the smoke clears.

IMO, Metallica isn't as strong a license as ACDC, so more pressure is going to be put on the ruleset and game code to be top notch in order for this game to match peoples' expectations.

"What the f$&k is a MOPLE?"

One of these I don't remember!

Sell it & move on. Losing a few hundred bucks if you got in at pre-order price isnt the end of the world. I'm pretty sure most that bought it at the premium pricing did so cause they really wanted the game not with the intention of flipping it for a profit.

#18 10 years ago

Wouldn't shock me if it end up sucking. Some games are great some not. You never know until you play them.

He is from Denmark guys, I'm sure English is not his first language. No reason to rag on a guy for that. In fact, it might not have been his second language, since most Europeans speak more than two languages.

I took four semesters of German in college and if I posted on a German forum, there's no way my post would be near as readable as his is.

The only person who desides if a game sucks or flops is "YOU"

#27 10 years ago

If it sucks, then it did exactly what 80% of the games are suppose to do. Never expect a NIB game to increase in value. You buy it because you've played it and love it, regardless on what other people think. Keep what you enjoy, not what is the flavor of the month.

#28 10 years ago

I like it when these non-US guys post here. I know what they are saying. They do a good job writing and communicating. Glad to have them here. Great to hear their perspectives.

#29 10 years ago

Sounds like propaganda....

Wow E! I I wonder if there are any "MOPPLE" sound bites in the game?

M'r F'n somebody in the JJP camp give me a thumbs DOWN for that post

If I said the same thing in a WOZ thread instead of Metallica I'd get shit on plus a ban vote & have to listen to someone tell me how cool they are.

I think it is going to be even worse on this game. The people who pay 9k (or, gasp, even 10k) now are going to fight hard for this game in the public image. It's going to be as political as running for President. LOL.

If METLE or MOPLE or whatever you want to call it adjusts downward into the mid to high 5k range for a HUO and low 6k range for an NIB . . . then all the speculators will lose money and move on to another hobby and the people who buy games and play them for awhile and then sell them are going to be hesitant to jump on another NIB for awhile.

There is so much unknown about what MET is going to do. Those shots look tight and the metal music may drive the game out of peoples houses quicker than they expect. We will know right around the time ST is released.

#43 10 years ago

Metallica will not be like TRS. Period.

#44 10 years ago

It would be challenging to make a game as crappy as TRS.

#45 10 years ago

My prediction, much more expensive then BIB and LTBR in about a year or two. It already is selling around those prices.

Of course if it is has the hate that Avengers has it will drop bigtime. I just hope its good enough to keep next to my AC/DC premium. The sound package looks amazing cannot really figure out if I will love the game. Sure do hope its a keeper.
