So...has TPA changed your opinion of any tables (for better or worse)?

[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 14972, member: 558"] Hm, I guess you're not the only one. ToM and ToTAN are a bit too... streamlined to me. I don't mind the "hit the toy!" stuff at all, but it doesn't have enough "friction" to me. I guess I just prefer the more edgy tables, with nooks and crannies, the Lawlor style in particular. Especially RBION and Gofers are really tacky, but that's a big thing I like about them. I adore the art and sound design on ToM, ToTAN and CV a lot, though, but they somehow don't engage me that much - which is the complete 180 of what I thought when I first tried TPA: I was stunned by ToM and ToTAN but absolutely disgusted by RBION, which is now amongst my favourites. (Though I can really see myself get into CV more when it comes to 360.) And I definitely started to enjoy older tables more. I instantly liked Whirlwind, Taxi took me a while to get into, and I somehow really learned to love Black Knight, Sorcerer, Firepower and Gorgar. I also [I]hated[/I] PinBot at first, but now I'm really enjoying it, the very open design which I found so dull at first is a great to experience ball physics, nudging and aiming. I also love the orange flashers, which is why I got that avatar :) It also still looks very nice on PHOF 360. ...oh, and something I have to add: I love pinball machines that really have this arcade feeling about them, which is probably why I love the alphanumeric tables with the rusty sounding, kinda Sega Genesis-sounding FM synthesis sound design a lot. DCS tables can have really brilliant music and voice samples and whatnot, but I mostly prefer the, well, "retro" sound. [/QUOTE]
