Quick! Delete Five Tables!

[Rich Lehmann]

If you had to quickly delete 5 tables off your device forever without much time to think which would they be and why?

1. Rescue 911, it's terrible in so many ways.
2. Goin Nuts, so dumb
3. Frank Thomas, terrible and dumb.
4. Earthshaker, people say it is good but I don't see it and I find the voices so annoying.
5. Central Park, I only play it with hopes of beating that last wizard goal... which annoyingly I already beat when I was still working on standard goals.

 

[ScotchYeti]

I only have the Playstation tables.

1. Goin Nuts, really hating it. Never even bothered to get the 180sec standard goal.
2. El Dorado (season 2): ugly and boring
3. Black Knight: the bugs kill the fun. I rather play BK2k
4. Safe Cracker: not much fun
5. still vacant

Deleting Earthshaker? Heresy! Love it.

 

[GET]

I'd say delete goin nuts, class of 1812, cue ball wizard, Harley Davidson and el dorado city of gold.

 

[Rich Lehmann]

Class of 1812 is one of my favorites. The skill shot is annoying but other than that its just fun.

I'd go for everything you named, but the "Big Hurt" table...replace it with "Party Zone". I'd love to have "Sorcerer" though.

Whether or not I actually liked the tables, I would be mad that I had to delete something I spent money on just to have it unplayable. That happened when I cleaned out my 360 files and accidentally deleted Game Room. Now I have no access to the games I spent a good chunk of change on as I naively hoped Microsoft would support us by offering 1000+ games. (They barely reached 200).

As much as I ramble on about FarSight's practices, they are completely off the hook compared to Microsoft. Look at all of the de-listed games across all platforms, and look at all of the games that people have supported that developers don't support back.

If FarSight made me delete 5 tables, I'd delete them all and start using Visual Pinball.

Remind me again....why don't people want to support legal emulation or simulation?

emuz b 4 da evil hax0rs innit, dey turn ur phone into a 1mhz puter wit 16k of rams, thats like and std eveyone has it!

id say only since nintedno and big name companies started using emulation for old arcade/consoles games did the act itself(at least in terms of games emulation) loose the stigma of illegal roms. guess when most people hear the term they think pssstt hey kid first hits free

edit- sorry for answer a retorical question heh misread the context

The only one I wouldn't miss would be El Dorado City of Gold since we have a better version of that pin. Don't see myself playing City of Gold again. The rest I actually play (some rarely).

1. Goin' Nuts (never should have happened in the first place)
2. R911 (don't own it, and it's the only table I don't own for which I have no interest at all after playing the demo a number of times)
3. Haunted House (I have never gotten the appeal, it just sucks, fractured layout, no flow, cheap drains)
4. Junk Yard (takes too much time to play, tuned way too easy)
5. TX Sector (I wish I could love this table, but it is tuned too easy and there's just not that much to do)

I enjoy Big Hurt, El Dorado City of Gold (with the sound off), Central Park, and Class of 1812.

I really wish Farsight could implement a "Simulation Mode" like Zaccaria has - where it gives you the opportunity to have the physics play more realistically. If they had this available as an option, it would add a ton of interest/replay value for more seasoned players to some of the tables that are a lot of fun but are just tuned too easy (i.e. MM, TotAN, LAH, Junk Yard).

1. Goin' Nuts, waste of space.
2. R911, waste of space.
3. TX Sector, stupidest wizard goals evah.
4. Black Knight, but only if it's guaranteed to be replaced with an emulated version.
5. Safe Cracker, tokens schmokens.

Goin Nuts
Central Park
El Dorado SS
Cue Ball Wizard
Genie

But I could easily live without some of the other Premieres, too.

High Roller Casino: BOR-ring. Hate waiting for the roulette spinner to finally finish on each plunge. Bleh on the voice acting, too.
Rescue 911: Not much fun and no Shatner.
F-14 Tomcat: Still trying to enjoy this one, but no luck yet. Looping looping looping zzzz.
Central Park: Playing the table and watching someone else play the table are almost exactly the same experience... except other people get higher scores than me. Can't tolerate that bell sound over and over and over.
Victory: When I hit the random button and this comes up, I always think: "Totally forgot about this one." Then I play one game, which I like, but the second time it just seems like more of the same. Then I stop and forget about it. If it was deleted I might never think of it again.

Dishonorable mentions:
Hurricane or Cyclone: Delete one but not the other; I won't be able to tell you which is gone, but I'll enjoy it just the same.
Harley Davidson: Not enough hate for this one in this thread. What's going on?

Keep your hands off:
Goin' Nuts and Class of 1812. Are you crazy? Those tables are fabulous!

 

[ZRXMike]

Genie. Only table I have that I feel was a complete waste of time. Only reason I got it was bcuz it was a package deal with AFM.

 

[kaworu]

just one question: why you even have installed TPA if you dont understand pinball?

 

[Heretic]

nobody is required to understand or appericate every table....but i personally like gottliebs but imnot blind to the faults in the comparison to some others. us red headed stepchildren stick together! its been awhile since ive played tpa so im choppin at he bit to go alittle gonzo on certain tables...theres more variety in modern digitalpinball than theres ever been outside vp so im happy to dust of a stinker or two when the mood hits the only table ive found truely boring in the collection is probably victory, usally i find a quirk or design choice i love but that talbes more "dialed in" than the new stern. sometimes people get too foucused on the tables they want and dont appericate the bigger picture. but i think it safe tosay 99 percent of our forum understand pinball lets your hipsters!(yes you laddy)

Rescue 911. I like it, it has personality. But only for short 5 minute plays.

Frank Thomas? Not a baseball fan, so agree.

Earthshaker? A True classic.

Central Park. Laugh if you will, but it creates a zen experience when one wants to chill out.

hmmmmmmmm.....if I had to dump 5? Hmmmm let's see...


Genie - not much fun, but if it looked better visually I'd like it a lot more. Just a terrible, weirdly flat looking model in the game. (PS3 btw)

Addams Family - yup, that's right. I said that. I just don't get the appeal...not fun afaic.

Harley Davidson - again just not very fun. I'll have to revisit it because I haven't really played it much, but just doesn't do anything for me.

Circus Voltaire

F-14 - Just doesn't seem to be much going on with this table...



I'd want to keep Goin Nuts just because it's so different. I don't play it much, but it's sorta fun when I do.
