Worst table of Season 3

[Gus]

Wait, who do you think is a FS employee?

Stephen Snow. At least he's got a blue name on the forum, that means FS staff right?

My two worst tables (because of their unattainable wizard goals) are High Roller Casino and BSD.

I am also in the minority from the standpoint that I like LCA.

Oh, sorry, I thought I saw the name Failsight in rhe survey. No way that's an employee, I thought!

I actual kind of like LCA too. I wouldn't admit that to many people though.

You too? I'm in the same boat.

LCA followed by HRC (because I just don't care for the table) with HS next - I like HS but the too wide "wet-noodles" look of the wire ramps in the recreation just keeps buggin me whenever I play it.

Yes, he's an employee.

You have to try BSD more, it really is a great table.

Didn't see this in time to vote! But it inspired me to give fish tales (which I would have voted for) another whirl. I'll be damned, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it now. Cancel that vote.

As far as LCA is concerned, I enjoyed it initially, but put it on the shelf once I completed the wiz goals.

At this moment, High Speed ranks as my least favorite (I avoid using "worst," because I feel all of the tables are fine replicas of the real thing).

Black Rose, HRC, and Diner

It is all related to tuning. Black Rose got totally borked and is a totally different game depending on which platform you play it; the flubber flippers; the impossible physics that allow you to put a ball up the whirlpool from the upper flipper; the ever shifting physics that changes the ball path as it exits the loop that feeds to the upper flipper. It all adds up to make this game more about luck than skill.

HRC is a weird theme and the existing camera bug on it TOTAN, and Dr Dude make me mental. Especially given that it took video evidence before FS even believed the bug existed.

Diner: I was actually looking forward to this one but the tuning is bad, and made it generally meh.

As far as Diner goes....there is definitely something wrong with the "tuning" or physics. It was never this hard in real life, at least by my recollection which can't always be trusted.

I've played every table of the season in real life, and BK2K is definitely the one that feels the least fun in comparison to its real counterpart.

If you want me to choose based on the real tables, I think I would go with HRC.

As for LCA, I actually like it a lot in real life. In TPA, it feels off. Like something about it doesn't translate well to TPA.

I'll go with BK2K just because it was a disappointment.

 

[Cyberleader63]

Diner.
The game play is not bad.
But the theme, so dumb

 

[Kolchak357]

Looking back, that was a pretty good season.

Gotta say, I agree with the top 3 worst on the poll.

 

[Gorgias32]

I'm a little surprised by High Roller Casino being the third least popular (although to be fair it only got 8 votes). This is one of my favorite tables in all of TPA. It plays difficult, and the scoring is interesting, and I like the theme integration.

The main downside is how long the ball spends in the roulette on launch - although from what I have read when the table first came out in real life the ball used to spin up there for so long that Stern had to come up with a physical fix.

The other reason it may have gotten the downvotes it did is that it had a pretty bad bug where due to the railroads it was impossible to hit the Poker loop from a left cradle, this is a pretty important shot and having to hit it on the fly made a hard table even harder (and not fair or realistic). This bug has reportedly been fixed, although that's still a really tight shot in TPA.

By the way, thanks to Cyberleader63 for dusting off these old threads, it's fun to look back at these old discussions and get excited about some of the older tables.

It did a little better on the opposite poll.

Tied for third least popular.

 

[Kolchak357]

My only issue is that a couple shots are rediculously difficult to hit. Ruins the fun. I still like the pin, but it would so much better if this was fixed. They say they eased it up. If they did, it wasn’t eased up enough.

I'd say the voice acting is terrible and detracts the most from the HRC table. LCA by far definitely the worst, and while I don't hate BK2k, I just don't care about it.

And who voted for High Speed?
