I think the guy who got the blueprints and who's assignment it was to pull out the hardware to transform it to a live machine, selfdestructed the project and made POTO commit suicide. Please note I only played the game on pinball arcade but here are my initial cons.
1, The slingshot coils are on steroids. You have no controll whatsoever and can only sit back, relying on your luck. Nudging won't help at all. Way too overpowered. It isn't even entertaining.
2. The outlane drain gaps !!! They are a joke and make the drains in all Barry Oursler's games look narrow.
3, The extraordinary Grand Canyon sized gap between the flippers. I checked some youtube videos and it looks like owners replace them with longer ones to make the game somewhat attractive to play.
The above kills the deal for me. Skill will not advance one's scones here. Is what I experience on Pinball Arcade far from the truth when playing the game IRL ? If yes I will turn it down as I might have a shot at buying one.P.Arcade is said to reflect the machines pretty accurate and if yes then POTO is a sad story. Playing IRL is of course another story.
Thanks Matt
