[QUOTE="Epsilon, post: 5319, member: 381"] To be fair, I think the "quests end with unceremonious praise" bit was referring to the notifications of completion of FarSight's Standard and Wizard Goals, which are an external construct of their own making. It's hard to deny that those are pretty sterile. I don't know if IGN was expecting a light show or fireworks or something, but I suppose the point has some limited merit. As for the third one, it's true that real pinball machines were intentionally designed to keep ball times low, but it doesn't necessarily follow that that model makes for a fulfilling home pinball experience. Thing is, though, I think FarSight actually did make these tables easier than real life. But I can see how someone who's reviewing the game for the general public might want to warn those who may not be hardcore pinball fanatics that they may find this particular aspect of the gameplay frustrating at times. There's no excuse for the first one, unless they were supplied a review copy that didn't include the feature. You could also make the argument that FarSight didn't do a very good job of providing the player with information regarding what the camera options do exactly, but that's different from outright claiming that the option doesn't exist.
