[QUOTE="Espy, post: 102681, member: 3553"] When I started playing it was all about the ramp shots. I loved the satisfaction of sending it onto a marble-run-like path. A wacky ramp or habitrail was reason enough for me to love a game. Nowadays, I'm a goal chaser. Orchestrating the perfect route through a game, and refining it with each turn, really adds to the experience for me. For example, I was trying to beat Spider-Man for a while, and found myself thinking things like "I activated Venom too late in the game, if I do it earlier the randomness will get it". Then they removed the machine. and I cried. Unless I'm just getting to know a table, then I'll read the card decide on a single goal to try and achieve (generally multiball), and try to get that in a single game. I used that strategy on DESW two days ago, and got a high score, so it pays off! I am a very safe player. Always trying to keep the ball under control, sometimes to me disadvantage. There are shots where I could safely redirect, but try to stop the ball, and fumble it somehow. Also, THIS. The spinner in Gorgar. Could hit that all day. And the drop-targets in big shot. And the saucer in AFM. Sound effects add so much to your game, makes the ball appear more powerful than it is. [/QUOTE]
