Why does everyone hate the Stern Rolling Stones pin? (Or do you?)
« on: January 16, 2018, 10:06:04 AM »
I finally got a little time on this game at the Miami Pinball Company last weekend. I really got into it. The music is cool. That British DJ is not too annoying. And I think it is easy enough for guests to your home to achieve things without having to be a wizard.

Yet, I have not seen a lot of love for this game. Why does everyone seem to hate it?

That game came out at the time everyone was hating what stern made and didn't have the effort put into like ironman and tron and so on. Well people still hate stern now but this was before jjp came out. I actually enjoy it myself and haven't been able to get my hands on one.

see circled items.. i do not like those... otherwise is an ok game.

re: target -> it's no mist ball from dracula and it was fun on Big Buck Hunter, but not so fun on RS as way to far of a shot.
re: lower playfield -> to empty

I found it to be a fun game but have not had the opportunity to play it much.  I would have preferred some different songs and the ability to select a song like you can on more current games like AC/DC and Metallica.

Every year at SFGE, there is a Rolling Stones conversion to Foo Fighters. Looks cool, and I appreciate the effort, but still the gameplay is severely lacking in "fun factor".

I had a real nice one for awhile but lost interest in a short period of time. I think I only kept it around because you never see them since they did not make very many. Not a really horrible game since some of the songs are good but it is true that you could not choose the songs and you get tired of a few of them.

Played it today.  My first time and probably my last, except for a tournament.
