HRC is an extremely good table, not sure why people hate it so much.

People say the music is lame and the voice work irritating. That might be true but doesn't bother me. The pinballing is very good, yes, one of Stern's best right after LOTR and TSPP.

But TPA's conversion screwed up the physics, in the unshootable right orbit, the frictionless roulette wheel that makes you wait forever, and too much violence around the lower playfield. These troubles really suck the fun out of the game for me.

I have a kind of "pokemon" thing happening.

Gotta have'm all...

Devoted? possibly... OCD? absolutely...

Actually, unless it it causes severe distress and impacts your life in a very negative and upsetting way, it's unlikely to be OCD. Rest easy!

Bragging opportunity: Yay!

I have 'em all on PC, PS3, and Kindle

Each season pass gets a little tougher to click each time, but I will still keep clicking it if they keep working at it!

I also enjoy the "Larry challenge"... go through all the tables in order (forward or reverse alpha) and achieve a replay on each one before moving on.

Brother, it's clinically diagnosed. I drive my poor wife and kids up the wall with it.
My particular strain is more devoted to symetry and organization however.
Still, maddening nonetheless so my family will say.

As you were, carry on...

As I own only a PS3 and SCEE is the worst firm I've ever seen, I own all tables only when they are all available within a season pass (i.e. I purchase a season pass when all tables are effectively released).

So, basically, I will play TAF next Christmas. Maybe.

Ah, you were using the term correctly. Apologies! I generally assume otherwise when people refer to video game habits with it. I volunteer for an OCD charity, so I'm keen to challenge these misconceptions.

I own all on PS3/Vita and a few on PC. Might have to get a Vita one of these days.
For those who have played it on Vita, how is it?

Alright, I'm impressed... and relieved I'm not the only one suffering from TPA obsession. :D

Now, where is the iOS update??? :mad:

No apologies needed mate... Were all friends here.

I love it, but it's really kinda up and down. Portrait controls aren't great but the physical controls in landscape are perfect, IMO. Like most platforms, there are bugs.

The delay with season 4 is apparently due in part to TPA pushing the limits of the Vita, so take that for what it's worth.

My big holdout was taxi/Harley Davidson. Finally caved in and bought it in the middle of season 3. I enjoy Central Park as well. I would have thought lca or gn would have been easier targets.

Like most voters, all of them. I just buy the full seasons when they become available. I know regardless there's going to be tables in it that I'll enjoy playing. And I've found that tables I typically don't enjoy when I first play them I'll usually go back months later, try them again, and have fun learning the table.

Season 1 and 2, pro.
I'm kinda waiting for Farsight to step it up. Fix the niggling little bugs on the old tables, implement the ROM emulation for the scripted tables, going over the physics/tuning on most complained tables (just look at this thread), going back and give season 1 & 2 some GFX polish and up the ante (a little less easy and safe tables, if appropriate to the original of course), going over the camera angle (what is up with El Dorados views in potrait, only one is usable!), is there an issue with the sound emulation?

And now I got some small issue with my game it seems; I can not get it smooth anymore. Micro-lagging noticeable on long slow balls; I have been unable to fix this so far. Takes a bit of enjoyment out of playing :(

Still, I am going to buy more eventually...

I have every game on IPad 3, PS3/Vita, and PS4, I have Pro-Mode on all the games that use it. So we need Pro-Mode for all the games on Season 1 please, especially for Monster Bash, I need 10 balls to play that game, I suck at it badly. I have no problems with Circus Voltaire, High Roller Casino, or any game for that matter, I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I love Champion Pub, the only games I don't play much are the EM's and Early Solid State. Remember The Addam's Family was the game that got me into Pinball in the first place, I was in my 20's when Addam's came out, I did play and love Xenon when I was a teenager, I thought it was pretty cool.
