One of the primary locations to play Prime 2 around Minneapolis is at Smaaash in the Mall of America. It's a new LX cabinet with fantastic pads, but when I can go from an SS on Gargoyle D20 on one day and then get 30 Greats on Pick Me D16 the next, there's something very wrong.
It feels like Hard Judgment is always on, but the arcade operators don't believe anything has changed. I remember hearing that older versions had a setting in the operator menu that would make the game more difficult by reducing the timing window. I don't know if this is still a thing on newer versions. Can any Prime 2 owners verify?
I did notice some anomalies. If you play songs like The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog, the final arrow is supposed to stretch and blink for a split second. That wasn't happening before, but now it does. There were a few more visual differences like this when compared to other arcades. I bring this up because I suspect the game may have been running at a different speed, possibly giving a larger Perfect window and essentially nullifying the stricter timing window. Just a crazy thought.
Comparatively, the Dave & Busters a few miles away has a Prime 2 TX cabinet and the timing feels just fine with none of the anomalies listed above. When the tech was flipping through the system menu, most options were at default values. Level was set to Normal.
Any thoughts?
