I think if you acknowledge the weaknesses of The Pinball Arcade's ability to simulate real pinball, and use that knowledge of the weaknesses to inform your opinion of tables you haven't played in person but have played on Pinball Arcade, then I think you can end up with very different results...
Yeah fair enough, sometimes it's sniper tower.
And that isn't the sole strategy for getting a billion, obviously, but it will just happen that you get extra balls if you try to keep all of the six in play, along with 500mil~ other points from the game itself. But I got into a pattern of...
Then your score with Super Game will be exponentially better. It's a free two ball, convertible to six ball by hitting the JUDGE bank, that shortly gives a callout for 100 million on the left ramp. Every ball.
So even if you dunk all of the multiballs and just take the 100 mil shots and run...
I did wonder how those ridiculous Paragon scores were coming up.
Another thing... Super Game seems to be allowed for Judge Dredd. Surely that's not right? I'm 4th place now and me of all people getting that close to you guys makes me feel like I'm cheating by using it.
Well, my scores are updated and the boards are fixed, but I've lost points anyway! The competition in PC-Gold is ROUGH!
Good lord, you guys are really working me hard here!! ;)
Oh man, this survey has me as such an outlier across the board.
Those low scores for El Dorado City of Gold, Victory, Gladiators, Black Knight, Rescue 911, Black Hole, TX Sector, Phantom of the Opera, F-14...
And yet, far too high scores for Tales of the Arabian Nights, Cirqus Voltaire, and...
Interesting to see such a strong opinion, but understandable.
In my eyes I was sold on Pinball Arcade quite quickly and now want everything - anything they add is totally welcome even if the table itself stinks. And I'll have you know that the Gottlieb tables are the tables that usually...
Just want to reiterate that I would be cautious against benchmarking against IFPA videos that will prefer steeper tables. At the very least, there is no guarantee their table is 'stock'.
It's an even muddier question for older games where table angle is not even specified in the manual...
Classic bug with a few tables... notably Black Rose. It happens in the normal game mode too but as you've noticed, it's a far harder kick to the sack when it scraps a score in tournament mode.
Yeah... I'm down on improved scored for ST:TNG, Paragon and Black Rose. Granted, I'm not likely to ever disturb to top 5 of the Gold league on PC... but c'mon lemme have a shot at least! The chasm between me and rank #7 is huge enough...
