Quoted from krupa:No? I'd say Mustang, AV, and XM have received as much "hate" as WOZ. But everybody's able to move on to either loving or hating the next Stern pin. With WOZ the conversation is stuck until Hobbit comes out.
I don't think WOZ has any more "haters" or "fanboys" than any other pin. It just feels like it because we've been having the same back and forth for 3 years. And neither side is willing to back down. The fans are tired of the haters. The haters are tired of the fans. And some of us are tired of all you all.
Some great points you made. Stern has put out like 6 games since Woz was supposed to come out. Each one has been greeted by both hate and love. A few months later we move on and hate and love the next game. WoZ has been a single roller coaster ride for well over three years. Imagine if Stern was still producing XMen and people who paid years ago hadn't gotten their machines yet? Without those other 5 games to talk about, of course the XMen talk would be out of control.
For those who did not buy WoZ, these threads are like a sore tooth. For some reason just as the pain is subsiding, your tongue moves over and pokes it just to make sure it's still there. Seriously though, with all the deception and production problems and rumors about financial backers, JJP (not WoZ) has become a rubbernecker subject.
I convinced a friend to buy a WOZ LE for his family and he is still waiting on it three years later. Many claimed delivery dates have come and gone and with each one I always feel the pain of my buddy. So yes, I don't even own a WoZ but I do feel like I have skin in the game so I read all these threads to see if there is some nugget of information there that I don't know about. Thinking about it, it would be pretty surprising to see a majority of people bashing any particular game be the same people who actually bought and still own the game... To me most people's opinions and reviews of games are more honest if you don't own the game.
