[QUOTE="L33, post: 254212, member: 4681"] Well...downloaded the new Stern Pinball game via Steam this afternoon...WTF? Perhaps it's me...perhaps my lack of computer skills have caused me to somehow mess up the way the game should be setup...but judging by the comments I've just seen on Steam I'm pretty sure I've done everything correct. The game is pants! That sounds harsh, I know, and Ive seen comments about the game being in its early stages so to speak...but I'm not buying that. Yes, the game is in its early stages, but Farsight have produced many many tables already and in theory, these should be easier to simulate and therefore should have a far better chance of being right first time then any other tables produced. Really disappointing stuff. Im not sure whats happened here, people saying perhaps its been rushed...I don't know...but it leaves me wondering what Stern think about all of this. This is the age of digital pinball and I feel this is one huge backwards step. Other companies are now producing tables and they are doing a fairly good job at it considering. Zen in particular seems to be growing in popularity and it's not surprising with the quality of tables they have produced recently and not to mention the ability to play on the cabinets. My only grumble would be the physics, and this is something I believe Farsight has the edge on. Perhaps Stern could have had Zen build the tables and have Farsight create the ball physics :) But as disappointed as I am, Id like to see FS fix these issues because Im confident that with the issues all sorted, and combined with the excellent ball physics, these tables have the potential to be the best ever recreated digitally. I don't think there are any excuses for such a poor game launch, but that doesn't mean the issues can't and won't get sorted...how long that will take I'm not sure, but Im pretty sure it will get sorted. Ive always wanted to play ACDC pinball and with no chance of being able to buy the table, digital is the way forward for me...I know its not the same experience, but its the closest chance I'll have...so thats one table I'll be looking to purchase...but only when these tables are actually playable.
