When Metallica came out... so many people were not fans of Metallica either.... or ac/dc...
Just play the damn game
Quoted from colonel_caverne:Stern wants us to buy..you would buy a game with a theme you hate?
You're saying all those games from the 80s and 90s everyone loves the licensed content?? Who knew Demolition Man and the Flintstones movies were such loved properties...
Quoted from jar155:I highly dislike Aerosmith as well, but it won't at least give me a stress reaction like Iron Maiden does
Quoted from colonel_caverne:I respect you don’t like Avatar...but it's probably the most-watched film in the world or the most box-office hit. what I mean is that this film brings together a large majority of fans. Iron Maiden is far from unanimous musically.
This is a horrible example. Avatar is one of the poster childs for 'high box office, but not praised/adored'. It doesn't really have fans.. it's panned for being a rip off of another story, and it's value was really about technology+time+place in movie production.
There is almost no title that is 'unanimously' adored... so not sure why anyone would consider that comparison even valid. Every title picked appeals to AN audience, not ALL audiences.
KISS is another great example... huge following, but hated by many too.
Quoted from tbanthony:People bash the crap out of new games when they have a playfield layout similar to games of the past. How many side by side picture posts have we seen by people saying "this game is just like...xyz. Can't they come up with anything new?! They are just being cheap!".
It's because this situation is people WANT this game, but just not decorated this way.
They don't want to encourage cloning... they want KME's archer or 'anything' but not KME Maiden because they've fixated on that for some reason.
Quoted from Monte:Keith may have not been a fan of Iron Maiden but he never said he didn’t like the music.
In the C2C show he basically said it wasn't for him and he wasn't a fan of them or anything.. but once he did his homework and worked with it he felt it really lent itself to good pinball music
Quoted from swinks:24hrs in and 407 votes placed:
AGAINST re-theme - items 1 & 2 = 192 = 47.2%
FOR a re-theme - items 3-9 = 215 = 52.8%
I think the poll choices are kind of stacked... lots of floaty yes reasons, limited no reasons that try to pigeon hole the no responses as stubborn.
