Problems purchasing, worth the aggravation though...
Soon after the new "Balance of the Force" tables came out, I attempted to purchase them. Ill get to how awesome these tables are a bit later, but first about the purchasing. On Lion, it appeared I simply could NOT connect to the Apple App store. All I got was "please wait". This issue was periodic before, but since the 131 update I had no way to tell, as I had bought all the tables already. Until these ones. This update simply could NOT connect on 10.7.5 OSX Lion. Lion is my favorite Apple gaming (well, Pinball, only) platform and Im not giving it up. Couldnt download these tables though , after 3 days of trying. And I tried EVERYTHING. Rebooting . Relogging in. Reconnecting and disconecting. Reinstalling. Refreshing my purchases . Absolutely nothing works. Ultimately, I never did manage to connect via Lion. Luckily, I also had a partition with Mavericks on it (I dont like it, incidentally, I find it very invasive and restrictive.. everything has "VERBOTEN!" written all over it).. But be that as it may, I tried connecting with Mavericks, after being informed by Zen support that these tables would be available to me regardless of the OS I was using. Mavericks connected just fine, and I managed to download all three tables. I wish they would fix the connectivity issue that was introduced in update 131 though...
The new tables are, in a word.. astonishing. The gameplay is very enjoyable, and physics are great and smooth, but it is the incredible rendering of these new tables that just impressed me so much. I dont know what theyve done, but its really made even more of an improvement in the game (if possible). Im giving it 5 stars even after the downloading issue because that has nothing to do with the game per-se... Hope they fix that issue though..
Update.. I am not sure what is up with the pricing .. only a week ago I bought all 3 ster wars tables and the Doctor Strange table. EACH one I was charged 2.99 for, and I have the reciept to prove it.. Now I see that only the Doctor Strabnge is 2.99 and the rest are 0.99 cents.
I am going to find out what is going on, but I SERIOUSLY urge you to be careful as to what you are being charged. Something smells rotten here...
