You don't seem to understand how this works. The Wii U is a new console, with all its life ahead of it, with a user base thirsty for new games. The Pinball Arcade fits in very nicely, that's why Zen Studio is developing for it. The Xbox 360 is an old console, with its successor (deprived of...

1) This thread is titled: "Farsight comes clean on issues with 360 platform". 2) The patches supposed to fix the many bugs are all part of the DLC. It's the one reason I'm waiting for DLC. 3) No wonder a company that releases so many bugs has troubles complying to Microsoft's certification...

A shame this forum turned into pinballarcaderabidfans.com

L O L It's Microsoft's fault the game gives you 2.000.000 points when you nudge left in Monster Bash during multiball? It's Microsoft's fault the flippers are too far apart in Medieval Madness? It's Microsoft's fault the rules of the lower level in Black Hole are (still) incorrect? It's...

The problem is, I've never seen such a mess with any other game on XBLA, including a competing pinball game. So no, I don't have to "get used to it", and I won't make up reasons why it'd be Microsoft's fault. They either improve their service, or I don't buy their stuff, and currently I'm not...

Well, why should we care at all, then? And how on Earth did it take them that long to fix such a bug? And it doesn't work anyway, since they said "the bug is fixed, the leaderboards have been reset for ALL platforms" - and they haven't. It's not "we will reset", it's "we have reset", past, which...

But here it's precisely a bug correction that was announced and not released... I don't even want new tables, I just want them to fix pack #3. Why it doesn't work in the first place is beyond me, how could they miss the Monster Bash bug?

There is no fix. The bug is still there on 360 and the leaderboards haven't been reset, of course. The 360 isn't included in "ALL platforms", it's such a minor one compared to phones and Kindle.

Actually, when you see the "experience" Farsight has as a developer, it makes a lot of sense... they haven't really shined in the past.

How is making the very transparent blue plastic nearly opaque and making the table much, much, much darker improve readability? Also, the lighting effect when you roll through the back ramp is extremely poor, it's supposed to give a "turning" effect.

It's... not supposed to look like this at all. That's how it's supposed to look: The blue plastic and lighting are all wrong.

How so? I'm having great fun with games that actually work right now. Why should I bother with shoddy, unfinished products?

So if I understand correctly, Monster Bash won't be fixed until October? Pass.

Except that scoring is, you know, THE WHOLE POINT OF PINBALL. You want to beat your own score, and improve your ranking, it's the whole concept behind pinball. But I see some people have now resorted to insults to defend mind boggling mistakes that should have never appeared in a released...

Indeed. And it was the same with the Medieval Madness flips being too far apart, and the Black Hole switch, and the plunger at launch...
