The natural follow-up to my prior topic...( an O-Din type thing). Criteria:

a) No poll
b) This is about the game only, not Manufacturer
c) You don't have to agree with the bitching (it could be your favorite game)
d) Has to have been an actual production run (rules out Alien, etc.)
e) Bitching had to start prior to the release, and relative to Pinside only

I will start - my vote is BM66, too pricey, poor build, poor initial code, etc. ( however, it's my favorite game fitting the above)

We should then be able to compare the 2 threads and compare polar opposites in the "opinion" of Pinsiders.....GO!!!

Agreed....we were beat up pretty good...game is never leaving. Was sure someone would have said GB or WOZ already. I've already picked mine, but man, flames went high on both of those.....

Has to get a thumbs up...."Personally, I like to bitch about".....classic line....

A potential winner here....however, some titles never seem to get off the radar for long....we can be a bitter bunch...

Wow!!! I have no idea.....

Completely agree...I was around, and quite messy for awhile on here...If it wasn't for BM66, would have been my " vote" ( own and love that one too, btw)

Ha!!!...I actually looked at my lineup this morning, and I've been in pretty much all of these storms (except maybe BSD and WCS which I also love, but no one really talks about much)

With MunstersLE on the way....bracing for impact...

Agreed, but left them out....these (unfortunately) never came to fruition (except a few Aliens and TBL's)....they lied and took $$$ from our community, either by fraud (Predator), preying on hype (JPOP), or both (TBL and Alien). They are not worthy of a topic such as this, as it's meant for legit pins from a Pinsiders perspective (and yes, I own an AlienLE, but we all paid dearly for it, some more than others).

Exactly.....I'm trying to focus on which ones we bitch/ don't bitch about as Pinheads. Our reasons could be valid or emotional, or any combination. As stated prior, I LOVE pinball as a hobby, and truly appreciate having it.

Trying to find some sort of correlation as to why some games are polarizing as hell, while others get a pass. They could both be good games or dogs.

Came to light with the recent Munsters release.....a billion speculation posts prior to announcement, some very negative, others positive. It would be awesome to somehow capture this metric, and keep game threads about the games themselves. When newbies jump into some of these threads if they have interest in a game (or our hobby), my fear is they take alot of this crap seriously.

Your analogy is the closest to where I'm trying to derive info of use....

This was my #3 (after BM66 and WOZ), only due to what I've read on the threads...never went for one, as it seemed there would be problems.

Played one in Charleston a couple of weeks ago....not as bad as I remembered prior, but wouldn't own one....

Sort of sums up the purpose of my ask

It's crazy how that game turned out to be ( and will always be, sorry DI guys) JJPs cornerstone..So many things that had to be overcome...Got to give it props, despite it easily being in the top 2 in this thread.

Ironic how the 2 most attacked games turned out to be ( arguably) 2 of the best out there...ohh..Pinside
