[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 247672, member: 134"] While VP scratched a huge itch back in 2004 for me, my main problem with it was always the inconsistency of table authors. I found 2 or 3 I liked, both visually and physics tuning, but then there'd be a table I wanted that wasn't done by them and I'd hate the experience. I tried it out again a year ago, none of my favorite authors were still doing it, and it made me appreciate Pinball Arcade all the more. Like it or not, there is a consistency to how all the tables play across TPA. That consistency is also the problem since EMs play with the power of modern Sterns, but there is a familiarity going in. And visually there is a 'FarSight style' that carries over table to table. In VP, there might be 4 or 5 versions of the same title, and you have to try them all out before settling on one, and that get's tiring after a short while. Real world pinball guys are always going to rail on TPA. They always seem to complain about the mobile version too while never mentioning the PC version. Is this because they have physical tables in their house and therefore have no need to play on their computer? Would their complaints be the same with PC as they are with mobile? [/QUOTE]
