[QUOTE="Crazy Newt, post: 284959, member: 1595"] I love pinball, both real and digital tables. I was born in the '60s, so I have been around a while and played quite a few tables in my time. I'm sure that my feelings on the matter are a rarity, by I don't consider real pinball tables to be the superior version of the game that I enjoy the most. I am a digital pinball fan, and while I do appreciate real tables, they are a distant second to the virtual tables when it comes to my enjoyment. Real tables are noisy, they require maintenance, and they do not have a consistent play over time and especially from one machine to the next. I prefer playing in a comfortable chair with a perfect machine where I can adjust volume levels to allow me to listen to music or follow a sporting event in the background without having to damage my hearing or bother anyone around me. I can pause the game for any number of reasons (at my age that reason is typically for "operation golden flow"), and I can compare my scores to thousands of other players from the comfort of my home in various types of challenges and tournaments that are not practical with real pinball machines. With all of that said, the problems I have with digital pinball is how easy the tables become and there is no sense of challenge. Pinball FX3 and their Williams tables are a welcomed improvement. I thoroughly enjoy the tournament setups. The games are quick and competitive, and those goals/shots that were easily achieved before are now worthy of excitement and exhilaration when accomplishing them now. I'm having an absolute blast with these new Williams releases and playing on a nice rig always helps. i7-8700K cpu 32 GB DDR4-3200 ram GTX 1080 video card 32" LG G-Sync monitor 2560x1440 @ 144 Hz Xbox One controller with [URL="https://www.amazon.com/KontrolFreek-Ultra-Performance-Thumbsticks-Xbox-Controller/dp/B00HUWANOO"]thumbstick extenders[/URL] to allow more precise table nudging Time to play some pinball. I'm going to enjoy the butt-kicking I am about to receive. Bring it on! :D [/QUOTE]
