[QUOTE="Emmanuel Papillon, post: 16347, member: 410"] @Beelzebozo: that's about as relevant as saying Mario Kart only counts as kart racing if you've never actually experienced kart racing. Yes, everybody knows it's not an exact pinball simulation, the "FX" in the title emphasizes that (even though a lot of tables are pretty sober), it's really not the point: concluding that it's "garbage" because it's "crawling with little animated creatures and crap who do goofy stuff", and that it's "silly", is a purist attitude (silly stuff in my pinball? no way!). Some people enjoy fantasy pinball, there is no reason to look down on it or on people who enjoy it, or insinuating they don't know what they're talking about. Some people know the difference and yet they like [I]both,[/I] imagine that. And yes, I know there are some specific qualities in an actual pinball simulation such as Pinball Arcade, otherwise I wouldn't have been interested in it in the first place and I wouldn't be here. It's really the one characteristic that makes Pinball Arcade stand a chance in front of Pinball FX2 at the moment. [/QUOTE]
