Basing your opinion of modern Sterns solely on RBION and Metallica is like basing your opinion of 90s B/W's solely on No Fear and NBA Fastbreak.
Hunt down and play a few games on an AC/DC (Premium or LE), Lord of the Rings and/or The Simpsons Pinball Party and see if your outlook on modern machines improves. Stay away from X-Men and Avengers though, or you will continue to slide into depression.
I've played Simpsons PP before, it's at my local arcade. I do enjoy that one. I guess I never bothered to check the release date on that table.
I'm sure I jumped the gun, but like I said, I'm much more focused on the stuff I grew up with and the stuff from my time that I've never been able to play before. I'll always worry about those before I ever worry about anything new. The same goes for Pinball Construction or even Farsite original tables. I think both are fantastic overall ideas, but nothing I'd have much interest in.
As for newer tables, I'd be excited to play an X-Men table, it the artwork was based on the 90s cartoon or 80s-90s comics. (A rareity for me as I usually never care about art work). I wasn't ever a fan of Tron, didn't really care for any of the POTC movies, and didn't have interest in LOTR either, so I couldn't care less about either of those. I'm not saying they're bad, just that they don't hold much interest to me.
I'd definitely like to check out the AC/DC one, it looks amazing! As for Metallica, it just looks horrible. The art for Metallica is more based on the modern era days of the band, with the stupid, goofy Metallica guys artwork. I was hoping for art based on the golden years of the band when I first heard such a table existed. I was disappointed to say the least.
