Anybody can make a burger............. McDonald's has sold trillions of burgers.......the reason why is because of the secret sauce. Your channel also has secret sauce, so to speak. Zach and Greg going back and forth over reviews is yours. I personally don't care if Zach sell pinball machines or not. Don't screw up the sauce! Zach can't just sit there and not let go man.......it just don't work. Don't eff up the show!!

Another great episode, I like the new weighted scores, I would have like to add side categories that do not add to the total score but just as a side note, one would be build quality and the other value. I mean these are both legit issues as a home buyer we all consider.....so you can score them but not add them in for the final score......anyway, good work gents, maybe one day I will catch you guys at a show and buy you two a drink.

Great video as always! I'm finally going to play this game today. The majority of people I've talked to don't like the game. Most everyone brings up the lack of code, so it was nice to hear you go over the code. I think the game is one of the most beautiful games stern has ever made! I'm looking forward to putting time on it!

@Horty575 жыл бұрын
Now that I've finished the video...I'm a fan of this pin. A main reason is because the game is approachable for new players. The shots are fun, it is fairly easy and straightforward to get Herman multiball running, it has that classic horror/comedy theme that works so well for pinball, and it is just beautiful to look at. I'm a player that always tries to encourage new people to play. The Munsters makes new players feel good about making some objectives and offers a great replay value for them BECAUSE they were able to attain them. As the player experience goes up you start to notice the subtle nuances in the code that can make for higher scoring opportunity. This machine has something to offer all skill levels, which is really what growing the love of pinball is all about.

New Munsters code 1.10 (released 12/25/21) almost makes it a brand new game. New code introduces new modes (chattering teeth), changes the way grandpa works (now stacks with other modes), and added a bunch of new callouts and animations. New review?

I have had my Munsters for several weeks now to me the issue with the Code is that there is only one way to play this game to get points. That is saving your super jackpots and then collecting them. That makes for a boring game IMO at this point in time I am not a fan of the code in its current state, I would like to be able to play out some modes for mode points not for jackpots. I just don't enjoy playing the modes in this game right now, hopefully something will change with it as the code matures. IMO there is no complexity to the code, you save your Jackpots then collect them that's it. I would rate the code at C or C- right now.
@SDTM5 жыл бұрын
Chad I can agree. It’s missing rewards as you play! And I hadn’t thought about how it forces you into this linear gameplay till you mentioned it. I’m still trying to nail down what’s hindering me from really liking it and this is some of it for sure. (Greg)
@chaddthompson5 жыл бұрын
@@SDTM Other than the code I think it is a really good pin. Art is good, Sounds are good, Display is good, Playfield layout is pretty good and most of the shots are fun but I find myself kind of tired of it already because of the code. I hope the code gets some major love soonish.

The art is phenomenal, no doubt about it. The layout. Mehh... way too early to see on code but man, I played it once on location and didn't feel compelled to throw in another .75 at all... also, the audio is going to get old really fast. Also, it felt super cheap.. not sure if the build quality is different on this title but it felt extra janky for lack of a better term. Nice review!

Great show as always guys. Thanks for asking me to give my opinion on Munsters. I think it says a lot about Zach's integrity when he refuses to review a game that he is selling to avoid a conflict of interest. The upside of the quality of pinball machines being made now is they require a ridiculous amount of detailed scrutiny to find negatives compared to just a short while ago.

I like the idea of Spot, and the right ramp flip up style. The premium adds the lower playfield which is very different to me, but I'm not sure it will be as fun as it looks. I agree with Greg. Call-outs are important. Ghostbusters has Ernie Hudson doing a fantastic job with the call-outs and they are one of my favorite parts of playing GB.
