Has nothing to do with the title!

With pinball, the newest game is always “the best”. They are expensive toys and when people pay the crazy $ for them, they have to justify their purchase by getting on Pinside to tell themselves “others like this” see, I’m not an idiot.

Then, they play the game a few hundred times and think “man, that’s not exactly what I was expecting. How come there’s no new code yet finishing the wizard mode?” Then, it’s up for sale for a couple hundred more or less than what they paid and the vicious cycle continues a few months later or next year when the next title that appeals to the “older male with money” is released.

TMNT is not immune to these trends. Truth is that no machine is immune to this. Pinball is mostly an expensive male hobby filled with nutty people. I don’t care for the game but there are just as many that think it’s great. Don’t let trends or what’s for sale (or not) dictate what pinball is “fun and worth buying” or to justify an expensive toy. Just decide what you enjoy, play it as much as you can before you decide to purchase it, and you will be much better off. Since when does “what’s title is for sale” or “other people’s opinions” of a game influence a purchase? It’s not like you are spending someone else’s money, who cares what they sell or why they sell it?

Quoted from Hazoff:

To me that's very strange. I don't care how well a Garth Brooks pin or a Beyonce pin might play it will never get any of my time.

Thanks for making you perspective clear for like the fourth time in the thread.
