58: Jaws Underwhelming?
Maaaaaan the reveal of Jaws wasn't as hype-inducing as a lot of us expected. Lets talk about that for a while, some original theme ideas, and then joink about Looney Tunes some more:) Email: pinballpartypodcast@gmail.com
Kineticist’s take
Host critiques Jaws as underwhelming, lacking direction and exciting mechanics despite good license.
Synopsis
The host expresses disappointment with Jaws' initial gameplay reveal, criticizing its art design, lack of standout mechanics, and cluttered ruleset that offers little direction for players. While acknowledging the license and Keith Elwin involvement, the host argues the game fails to generate excitement and may not reverse the current market slump; suggests the hobby needs stronger themes (both licensed like Tron and original concepts) to drive sales growth.
