[QUOTE="MonkeyGrass, post: 152923, member: 3108"] Yep, Junkyard looks like (wait for it...) JUNK on PC The blueprint area is all moire'd out and illegible. None of the texture filtering works at all. Another *fine* release from our friends at FS. Come ON guys. You've been doing this for several years now. It's supposed to get better, not worse, over time. Too many platforms, too much fragmentation, and zero consistency across devices. I just don't understand this business model. Mobile users will forgive (and eventually pass on) somewhat buggy games - your'e typically only playing for short periods on a small screen while waiting at the dentist or getting your oil changed. Heck the avg life of a mobile device is less than two years. Those of us with consoles (10 year life), PC gaming rigs (3-4 yrs avg life), and pin cabs (lifetime) expect a little bit more out of this game than what you get from a $5 mobile app that runs on disposable $200 hardware platforms. And the real irony is - the iOS and Android ports are far better than anything that runs on real hardware! WTF? It's like the entire model is backwards at FS. This game is not going to succeed if FS doesn't figure out that they continue to disappoint, frustrate, and infuriate the hardcore pinheads (which ought to be the target market for this game). I posted something about the new "Mega-Patch" and how much it improved play and table art on the PS3 at Pinside. I was nearly beheaded and run out of the room for even suggesting that TPA has matured and is growing into a truly playable platform. Nobody wants to hear it, or even give it a chance anymore after the repeated letdowns. For the most part, true pinheads want NOTHING to do with this game. And these are the guys who will gladly spend several thou$and on real pins, hyper-pins, and PC gaming rigs IF THE GAME IS RIGHT. So instead of multiple bug-filled versions, why not concentrate on getting at LEAST ONE right? smh [/QUOTE]
