Who else feels like pinball manufactures are giving us less and asking for more? I'm normally excited for game reveals but I honestly could care less about any of them this week. We have what stern has priced as their masterpiece which is nothing more then a Dark Knight reskin with some tweaks. Apparently not designing a new game is more expensive then designing one. Possibly the most bloated over priced game ever made. We have a strange "Dialed In" which may end up being a good game but is certainly an odd choice that turns me off and is way over priced at 9K. Alien looks OK if it can be delivered at the original price point. Apparently Aerosmith is next for stern which is another big miss.

I got my GB premium this week, paid for it in March. Another price increase and a longer wait for the game then ever. I have played it 5 times so far. I have to say that I have never played a game with as many air balls and just overall design flaws as this game has. My initial feeling is that I F'ing hate this game. Shots are not smooth, code is not intuitive, balls jump the inlanes, left ramp creates crazy airballs, etc. Last night while watching the JJP feed I looked up at GB and thought "You could be a Centaur and a Congo you piece of shit". Then I saw the sheet pulled off the new game and all I could think was I play pinball to get away from that crap, why is there a phone ringing constantly?

My hard cap is 8K for any NIB game and it is going to have to offer a lot more going forward then what is currently coming out. I would guess by 2017 that will only leave stern pro's and Spooky games in that range. I can't help but look at my WH20 and think how it shoots like butter and then look at GB and think what the hell happened. Until someone can deliver a game that shoots smooth, has fun shots, good code, a complete sound package, etc they won't get my money ever again. There's enough early ss games and good DmD games for half the price to keep me busy for the rest of my life. I can have just as much fun on EBD, Fathom, Flash Gordon, WH2O, TS, etc for much cheaper. So why are any of us spending 10K on a game? Can you get 7K more in fun out of it then you can a 3K game? I certainly cannot.

Now everyone get the F off my lawn!!!!!!!!!!!!

$6500, come and get it. No ghosting, just plenty of poorly designed shots.

1. I'm just going to stay there in a tent. I'll spear fish until all of the tuna are gone, that last one is going to taste delicious.
2. Come on over, I'll give you the UT fan price increase on all of them.
3. I'm trying to decide between this and eating a bag of dicks.

I put the blame solely on you Teekee. You told us all to send money now, now you tell us it's our fault

People can buy what they want I guess, I'm not even going to pretend to understand it though. I have a friend that just got in on a BMLE because it liked what he sees. I told him I'm working on a pin in my garage called "Money Grab" and a 20K deposit will secure the LE #1. I haven't gotten a payment yet though. Still got my fingers crossed it will show up.

That's the plan going forward. I would still like to piss and moan about it though.

They very quietly increased it to 80 when they saw the demand. They are claiming its 30 years of stern and 50 years of batman or some other nonsense to justify it.

Rumor is that all SLE buyers get a WWELE to help justify the price increase.

18 months ago we all thought the remakes were crazy priced, stern, JJP, and Dutch are starting to make them seem like a bargain.

I'm sure there are some definite similarities. In my case I wouldn't say that I particularly desire their product at all anymore. I can afford them, I just don't think they are worth the price increase and see no value in the purchase anymore. Add in the constant QC issues and it seems like you are not getting more for your money. Disney at least seems to constantly invest back in to making it bigger and better.

You might want to start your search in my barn. That's were I feeling like putting GB at the moment.

So after about 3 hrs of work I have gotten GB at least playing correctly. Slimmer needed adjusting, 4 switches were not registering, right ramp could not be made, ball would go halfway up and stop, one target was not registering hits, plunger and auto plunge were hitting stay puff and not making the orbit. Still getting a pile of air balls and balls jumping over the ball guides but at least everything works now. Going to update the code and try to take a fresh look at playing it.
