[QUOTE="SickBoy, post: 198642, member: 5280"] For me the answer to "Why Zen?" is simple: more tables. I recognize the faults of the series, I get sick of the 2-3 themes they tend to stick with (give me original themes over Marvel and Star Wars any day), and ultimately much prefer real tables (or TPA/VP/FP as a bandaid).... but really I just want more pinball. I don't care if the tables "suck" or if there are issues with physics, graphics, etc.... the more there is, the better. I certainly crave realistic quality over quantity, but if the only option is quantity over quality, then I'll take it. And if that can bring in a new generation of pin addicts, then I'm all for it. We NEED new blood if we want this style of gaming to survive. Of course, I don't consider Zen tables low quality by any means. They're what I consider true "pinball 2.0", love it or leave it. Quite frankly, I'll take Zen's DMD displays and animated characters over the new TV displays (ala Wizard of Oz) any day. At least I can get a retro feel, despite the impossible mechanics, in Zen :D But to each their own. If you don't like Zen tables, kudos. You should always have the right to your own opinion. I have no desire to sway people to think how I do, and hopefully you don't either. I'm posting simply to put my brainwaves out there with no expectation that others will agree. All of us here love pinball and have our own expectations of what it should be. Nobody is right or wrong with what they want from it. [/QUOTE]
