I know there are people who will buy ever table that is released. I used to do that, but after Farsight dropped the Season Pass for Season 3 on PSN I found myself not buying as many tables as I once had.
In comparison we received
17 tables for Season 1 ($29.99)
Which included some amazing tables such as;
Medieval Madness, Bride of Pin°Bot, Cirqus Voltaire, Funhouse, Monster Bash, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Scared Stiff, Twilight Zone, Star Trek TNG, Taxi, and No Good Gofers.
19 tables for Season 2 ($29.99)
Included more awesomeness;
Pin°Bot, Space Shuttle, Centaur, Whirlwind, Cue Ball Wizard, White Water, Dr. Dude, Firepower, Terminator 2, Champion Pub, and Cactus Canyon.
Then we come to Season 3 - 10 tables ($29.99) with the table total nearly cut in half compared to previous seasons.
I understand the reason why previous seasons included more as many were upgraded from PHOF tables, but that didn't make them any less valuable to the consumer.
Season 3 does have some nice tables, but they are not my personal favorites.
The other reason it seems like less for more is the lack of trophy support. I know this is a debatable topic and I don't want to stir anything up here, but for me it was a nice perk and added value.
I also own a PS4 now and would end up having to purchase these all a second time to have them conveniently located on my newer console.
I suppose I am a bit spoiled by Zen Pinball's standard of $2.50/table, simultaneous release on PS3/PS4/PS Vita and Cross-Buy for all.
Perhaps if Farsight could start making their tables PS3/PS4/Vita Cross-Buy starting with Season 3 it would bring more value to the table.
As for trophy support I understand their hands are tied unfortunately.
What do you guys think?
