Imagine if Stern produced ONE GAME for a year and a half... do you think you'd see a bunch of them for sale?
GNR is a good pin, but distributors now have them in stock and JJP is LONG OVERDUE to start producing something else... at least on and off. But definitely a new title. We should have seen a new title by now from JJP.
I don't get why someone who loves pinball can't appreciate GNR for the game it is, but instead nit picks it for it's faults. I want variety in my pinball, not the same old re-used playfield layout with a new title and code, stripped playfields (pick any numerous stern titles), etc. I understand it may not be for everyone, but you could say that for any Stern title also.
And just like every other JJP title, once production stops, you better bet it will be a hot pin. I remember when NO ONE would touch a WOZ or HOBBIT.
So adjust your pinball tastes and journey to your liking, whatever that is. If you are so vanilla that you can only like Stern games... good for you!! But don't tell me that GNR lacks innovation if you're talking about Stern in the same post!
