Yeah the pricing kind of makes the game irrelevant. Who cares if it's good. No way it will ever be $15,00USD good.
Likely the same as TS4. A bunch of folks are buying the CE on the hopes of flipping for profit. Once ppl figure it's "meh" the games are going to sit on the market forever. GNR was a big OMG I NEED THIS NOW. Until ppl realized that the game play was not as exciting as they expected. I predict the same for GF. Especially since they didn't really use the movie "timeline". It's build your own family as opposed to the Corleone family. Choose your own adventure like Hobbit. Why then bother with the license? Could have been Goodfellas. Or any other mafia theme.
Looks like they went with the "let's make tons of multiballs and hundreds of blinky lights" design choice like GNR. Maybe in the hopes that folks will get distracted and not pay attention to the lack of physical features? I mean there's no more features in there than in a Stern Prem like Foo Fighters. But it's waaaay more expensive. Bang for the buck doesn't seem to be there.
Topper is cool though. That'll distract critics
If Stern made that topper they'd charge $4k for it lol.

what Mike said..., the code will be very bleak with generic callouts, make your own gangster adventure and become the godfather with some licensed GF images of the Corleone family here and there, no real movie assets, just random stuff sprinkled out.

yeah if they can't figure out how to make a strong flipper, I am not interested in the gameplay. Feels weak. TS4 was a little better but not there yet.

The CE is not much more than the Foo Fighters LE, once you add a Stern topper on Foo.
Like maybe $1k difference...

What are you valuing the Foo Fighter topper at, and will it be amazing is the question? Still no topper for GZ or Rush

Well Elvira was $1K and Mando $2K and the Foo Fighters LE is $13K and Godfather CE is $15K...so those are the numbers I am comparing.
Stern LE and JJP CE are pretty close price wise. Take the topper off the JJP CE and it would be an even comparison.
