Re: Three Grumpy Old Men (TGOM) review... World Panty Tour! (WPT)

Man, I sure hope Keith is listening to this feedback and that something like
this WILL be implemented! Please Keith :) I remember how bummed I was
having to sit through the animations on CV...but when the home rom came out
that allowed you to bypass them...WOW...it made for a MUCH, MUCH better
gameplay experience.

For the record I am in Yancy's corner in that after three seperate
occasions of playing the game I like it more each time I play it. Long
term remains to be seen but I feel it is a solid game overall
especially considering the new system.

I wonder if an adjustment (or flat out change of code) could be
implemented to disable stoppy and stabby after the first WPT hand has
been played... let the noobs see the animations the first time, but let
the players who can last more than 5 minutes get the flow they want
after the initial hand.

That would be an *excellent* addition to the code. Let's face it,
newbies are going to be lucky to play an entire hand of hold 'em, and if
you can play decently then you get sick of having the ball just hang
around doing a whole lot of nothing.

I haven't seen the animations or whatnot, so
not sure how important they are..

I think that, for me at least, is what adds insult to injury. It's like
playing Junkyard all over again, seeing that damn dog run animation for
the 50 billionth time, when it has absolutely zero bearing on anything.

(sigh)


Even so, I could still see stopping the ball for the inter-city
animations. Can't have the ball going crazy ALL the time. Just most of
it. :)
