      @@lfp531 price means nothing to me because I can’t afford a machine whether it’s a Pro priced at 6k or a Bond 60th at 20k. It’s all the same to me: out of reach.
      That said I don’t even really consider 60th to be a legitimate Elwin design. If I did, it would be his least impressive, for sure.
      JP and IM are the 2 that speak to me the least. AIQ is probably the least impressive out of the 3 games just mentioned, but I enjoy it the most of those 3. It’s a deep-ruled drain monster, so if the masses decided it’s his worst, I wouldn’t argue against that

    Looks so unique and different and awesome. Only concern really seems to be serious potential for some clunk and some dangerously placed pops. It’s just so different though I just can’t imagine NOT owning one at least for a while.
    Also it seems like if you don’t hit the ramp on the mini flipper area you drain. Obviously ‘dangerous’ going in there but just how hard is that shot? Either way, very cool idea.

    Strange coincidence in that I was watching a video last night about The Princess Bride and obviously the key part that P3 relies on is that the bottom third of the playfield is pretty much the same thing on most machines (and with the P3 layout the bottom half of the game is all the same)... and it feels like Jack Danger saw the P3 platform locked into a basic layout, and was just like 'Hold my beer.' 😂

    I think it looks great, nice to see someone be bold to try a different approach on a modern pinball. We used to see a lot of this with things like Golden Wings back in the day with three flippers, and Hurricane style lower wireform too.

    Jaws Pro is also extremely stripped down from the LE/Prim. It gets away from criticism because it's a good shooter and the upper playfield isn't a make or break for most people, but nevertheless, it's still extremely stripped down.
    My concern for the new XM is how it shoots. Seems to be very packed full of shots, and we've seen what happens when you add a ton of shots to a playfield: John Wick, Ninja Turtles, etc. The shots are just not makable for a casual player. I just hope XM shoots and flows well, and doesn't suffer from the staggering lack of flow like John Wick because you can't seem to make three or more shots in a row.

    • @GonzosPinballFlipperama

      You're about the only person I've heard say that Jaws Pro is "stripped"... I've spent A LOT of time on both a Pro and LE - it's not lacking much. The upper playfield is mostly for looks, and the shark not moving really doesn't matter. They play about the same but the Pro flows a bit better.

  • @dominickolas
    @dominickolas 11 днів тому +1

    The primo with Gomez did make this a tough decision. The question is are those Sentinel hands playing with the ramps worth the extra $$ for premium? Tough call. Definitely tempting, but I think I might like a couple extra thousand in my bank.

    No Italian Bottom on a Stern machine, eh? That I can still experience this! Definitely a welcome surprise I would say, also as it strongly reminds me of Gottlieb´s Gold Wings machine. I've always hoped for a layout like this, but with today's coding possibilities.

    I wish The "King of Flow" never made Star Wars. This Jack Danger game with a Star Wars theme, I think would have been excellent! The game looks sooo good. I actually bought Foo Fighters NIB but sold it because of the horrible callouts and mediocre code at the time. A NIB for me is not really an option because they are so expensive, but with this, there is a possibility that I will sell a couple of machines to get it. (X-Men is absolutely not my kind of theme, but damn this looks great). Can`t wait for Sterns livestream. Thanks for making another excellent video, which they all are.
