Correction. It was closer to triple your high score.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

:lol: Something to look forward to.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Hmm should I play Blade, Iron Man, Spidey or Wolverine first... ;)

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

So, you beat 4 billion in The Deep ;)

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

If you posted that just to make the rest of us jealous, mission accomplished, jerkface!

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I'm attempting to get another code, btw. So quit your bellyaching!

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Yes sir. I hope you have a wonderful day, by the way.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Do I smell a contest among us DVDTalk Pinballer's? (Crossing fingers) :) Just don't make it skill based please! :lol:

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Sounds like I'll have a PSN copy for sure to give away...

So far impressions (After taking the overall #1 on two tables)

Spidey - absolutely insane ramps and rails in this one. It's going to take a while to get used to it.
Blade - decent table, tough when it gets dark and glowy though
Wolvie - :up:
Iron Man - almost pure ramp action.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Can't wait for this to come out. It's definitely going to be an instant purchase for me.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Yeah, this is going to be great. (If I can peel myself away from Pac Man)

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

SPent more time last night with this...

Iron Man table - least favorite of them all. As mentioned, all ramps, all the time.
Spidey - totally growing on me.
Wolverine - the table top is colored in a way that hides the ball sometimes, so that's distracting. Still a great table though. The ball save is interesting, if it goes out hte right lane when it's activated, the screen dims and a timer starts. you then need to make a specific ramp before time runs out to save the ball.
Blade - Also starting to like this one more and more.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Is Wolverine the one table we might want to turn on that stupid glowing ball effect they added to FX2? Do you think that might help the ball pop out from the background?

edit: Also, Iron Man has more ramps than Spider-Man? That seems kind of strange. also a bummer if it is the worst table - the videos made me think Iron Man looked like the coolest of the bunch.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Looks like Marvel tables will be out next week according to major nelson for 800 points. I'll be grabbing first second.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Same here, so pumped for them!

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

re: glowing effect - perhaps. I didn't change that.

the ramps are differnet in spiderman vs IM. IM has basically a 1/2 circle of ramps, divided into 6 or so different ramps. But again, it's my opinion on the table being the worst of the bunch. Still better than any table in PFX1 however.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I'm just glad something has taken your attention away from the other tables. :p

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

OK - I figured out the Iron Man table last night, was 1 shot away from having to take down Ultimo. Yet still only ended up with under 40M points...but good enough to be 2x the #2 person on the leader boards so far. It's still not the best table IMO... and to go back to someone's point about the ramps in Spiderman..there are a lot in there too, but it's so fast that it feels totally different.

Can't wait to see everyone's scores starting next week - some real competition rather than these loser reviewers.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I just saw on xbox.com that FX2 now has a total score of 850, so I guess they already updated the title and you can get 50 points per table on the Marvel tables.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Pumped about the Marvel tables. Can't wait.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Yup.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Don't forget - Marvel tomorrow!

also - just scored 156M on the Spiderman table... 3 million shy of #1 :(

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Don't forget - Marvel the day after tomorrow for the 360 (December 8), December 14th for the PS3, and that L&O needs a calender for Christmas!

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Fucking Wednesday!

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Got to spend some time with the tables last night and I think the Wolverine one is easily my favorite. (Blade being my least favorite as of right now.) LOVE the comic accuracy they fit into the Wolvie table though. That makes it super awesome in and of itself. (The regeneration, the Fastball Special, the annual Sabertooth fight, the Hand, etc.) Need to study up on the Spider-Man table a bit more as it seems really fun and I don't mind the Iron Man one at all. There's just something about the Blade table I don't like. It seems way smaller than the others or something. It feels too confined?

I do find a few tables have instant lose spots though where if a ball reacts to a certain thing, like rolling back down a ramp, there was no way at all for me to save it. On the Wolverine table I also find my ball going out on the left side quite a bit. :(

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Blade is a grower.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I've spent the least time with it. It takes me a ton of playthroughs to get use to the tables. I'm sure once I learn what the hell is going on with it I'll open up a bit more to it.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I really like all the tables in the few rounds I've played each. Spider-Man is probably my favorite since its the one I'm able to get into a decent groove in. I like Wolverine a lot too, but the playfield seems small to me. I like the layout of Iron Man, haven't had a lot of time to figure the table out yet though. Blade seems to have some interesting things going on, but I only got the chance to play it once so far.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

L&O...how effing long was that game of 135 million on Spider-Man?! That's friggin' stupid.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I really want to go home and play more of the Marvel tables. I only got in a few games on each. So far Blade is my favorite (crazy, huh?), and Iron Man is my least favorite. Really hate how much the ball tends to go down one of the side gutters on both Iron Man and Wolverine.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

156 million. And as of last night I was down to rank #21 :(

I don't remember, at least 20 minutes though. Once you hit a specific mode each ramp becomes at least 1.5 million per shot though for a limited time..and hitting the Goblin ramp, then the Doc Ock ramp(s) is fairly easy to do. So that's where my points came from, as I was only at Level 2 for Goblin, 1 for Mysterio, 1 for Doc Ock...

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I agree. I actually laughed out loud when I saw his score. Even the leaderboard truncates the numbers. Almost as if it is admitting the score is stupid high. :lol:

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

My bad. :lol:

I can see this game being a really hard sell to folks based on a few trials. You almost need to sink an hour or more into a table to really start learning the ins and outs of what exactly is going on and what to do. One of the few games that gets better and better the more I play because there's just so much to learn about each individual table. As a whole the offerings are deceptively simple. Once you get playing a few games you realize just how complex they all can be.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Spider-man is by far my favorite and seems to have the best layout. I like just how packed the Blade table is with different objectives. The Wolverine table is ok. I like that it is kind of a smaller 80s style, but not that thrilled with the objectives. I despise the Ironman table though. Every mission is the same thing. Hit every ramp including that stupid one that you have to hit off the upper left flipper. Same thing over and over. Terrible and it also has some bad angles and bad bounce back when you are off a bit. Overall though I'm very happy with the set and they are well worth $10.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

question:

I am interested in Marvel Pinball. Do I have to spend 800 points on Pinball FX2 and 800 points on the Marvel tables or can I just spend 800 points on Marvel and be ok?

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Download PFX2 the free version (it's an engine for the game) then from within there you can download the Marvel tables and demo any other one you may want.

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Take a look at your Spider-man leaderboard now Liver! [evil bad guy comic book laugh] mhahahahahahaha! [evil bad guy comic book laugh]

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

As long as it's not you, I don't care. :)

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

Son of a fucking bitch!

Re: The Ultimate Pinball Thread
 

I actually was getting sweaty trigger fingers as I was creeping up closer and closer. I knew I was going to fuck it up. What sucks is I beat you and still had a ball left. Then I lose that next ball right off the bat. I was hoping to break 200 million but beating you for the moment is reward enough. Cheers!
