I still don't get the Thor table, but the tournament is pushing me to keep playing. And was he molested as a kid? What's with the "play with your uncle" quote?

Put some more time into Epic Quest. I really need to focus on the cave shots because otherwise I won't progress. I keep killing everything in the forest and the mill with no problem, but I can rarely start a dungeon monster outside of a travelling reward. Got my skillshots up to over 3M which was helpful.

Also, I could have sworn the manual said that spells would insta-kill everything that wasn't resistant to it. Sometimes that does happen, but usually not. Oh well, I'll just use those on the Bat Frenzy and Skeleton Swarm from now on.

Oh, and I got my crown back from L&O. I'm getting sick of having to delouse it every time he takes it.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Or clearly I have less friends on my list than most :/. See, you put in 4 games and get 50 million...I put in 15-20 games and start to get 25 million. I'm just saying you have a much better apititude at pinball than I do. It's a compliment, damn it. ;)

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

L&O was just commenting that he had 240M at the time. I've since passed that, though, so now his comment is null & void ;)

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Yeah, you have 264M, big whoop. if it wasn't for my auto drained ball last night I would've been there too. 194 on essentially 2 balls.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

As per the usual. Hey now!

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I had the loot launcher fire one STDM for me too. Put your money where your mouth is, chump.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Or I can just buy the other four tables you own that I don't, and get my scores up that way...chump.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Do it. I need the motivation. 5% back this month.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Not with SSX tomorrow and ME3 next week.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Get a room you two.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Hey, hey, they are just two broskis who want to participate in a little flipper action. ;) If you know what I mean. :rolleyes:

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Beat all the monsters last night - the board was all lit up telling me where to shoot for the final fight, and for the life of me I couldn't hit the Loot hole, ended up starting Bat mode and then drained my ball in the ramp frenzy that ensued. Son of a bitch.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Sucks, man. Got a tip for hitting the cave that many times or did you get the monsters through travelling?

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

No real tip, but just let the ball roll to the end of the flipper like you probably already are. I just made sure that was the one I always went for if given the chance, and I lucked out and nailed it about 30% of the time I tried.

Note "Avengers Chronicles"

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

May 4th is the movie launch. We have Cap, Thor, and Iron Man already. Group table is obvious, other than that it would have to go into non-movie mythos for anything interesting. That's out of my range.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Ant-man and wasp?

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Maybe a Hawkeye/Black Widow team up table? I'd like to see a team table lead by Fury calling the shots and such.

And of course, I'd be all up for them making an actually enjoyable Iron Man table. :rolleyes:

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Hawkeye would make sense for a pinball table with lots of targets.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Troof.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

World War Hulk
The Infinity Gauntlet
Fear Itself
and a movie tie in to the Avengers i s the next pack.

Followed later by Civil War and Dr Strange tables.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

What's your source, you filthy bastard?!

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread

Game Informer's article.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

What Pinata said.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I hope they're working on Vita versions of Zen Pinball. I'd happily pay for these tables a third time to get them on that portable (I did pass on the 3DS versions).

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

That back touchpad would be a sweet bump mechanic.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I like the list, even though I wasn't a big fan of Fear Itself, I think there's some interesting stuff that can be used on a table there.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Since I know nothing of comics, that pack means nothing to me without research :( Any of you nerds able to help a quick 3 sentence blurb for each? Thanks yo.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Been a while since I read some of these

World War Hulk - In Planet Hulk, Hulk banished to alien planet. Takes over the planet in a series of gladiator type fight then in WWH returns to Earth with the aliens for his revenge.

Infinity Gauntlet - Cosmic characters and Avengers trying to collect six gems that control the universe.

Fear Itself - Avengers vs Fear God that's trying to take over Asgard and then Earth if I remember right. Heroes were given special powers by Odin.


Civil War - Captain America team versus Iron Man team fighting about whether the heroes should have to register identifies with the government after kids are killed during a fight between superheroes and supervillains.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Cool - thanks. Those should make some good tables.

While I am excited to play real world pinball tables in this collection, I think my heart will still belong to Zen and PFX since their tables are much more interesting and dynamic in ways that, obviously, real tables can't be. I still wish they could merge these engines into one shell.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I love that they're doing a whole series of "Big Event" tables for Marvel. Kick ass!

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Same here. I will buy some tables but I probably won't doubledip on anything that is in the Williams Collection that I have on disc.

Unless the engine blows me away.

edit: Some of the licensed tables would hook me. South Park, Star Trek: tNG, Addam's Family, or Star Wars. Those would be awesome real world tables to get.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

I'm wondering now if the awesomeness that Zen has brought forth upon XBLA and PSN has totally diminished my appreciation for the historical accuracy and authenticity that Pinball Arcade is trying to produce. Sort of like how we Gen X kids first got interested in space by watching Star Wars, and then discovered that real-life space exploration was far less exciting.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

the physics seem off in that video. The ball bounces a lot off the flipper when trying to catch it, and then the shot slowly meanders its way up the table when shot. :(

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

FarSight just said this on the Pinball Arcade FB page:

That's pretty fuckin' spectacular.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Best news I've heard all day. Count me in.

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

How is that a world exclusive trailer when it was sitting in everyone's inbox who is on the Zen mailing list this morning at 6am?

Re: The Ultimate Battle Free Pinball Thread
 

Because it premiered on G4 yesterday. So, they had 6+ hours of exclusivity, I guess.
