As someone who bought Pinball FX 1 then hated the Xtreme and Agents tables, I'm really happy to get all 3 achievements on each in FX 2.

BORK!

I think it says a lot that Buccaneer's hard achievement is to finish any goal whatsoever.

I'm sure if I played a pinball video game that didn't include nudging that I wouldn't even notice.

Cool, I got 75 million on Paranormal. I really like this table. It feels like I'm always doing something on it and never just aiming for a single goal.

This will get them more backing on Kickstarter from morons and they never actually have to work on it because Ouya won't exist. Smart move.

They really shouldn't continue to do the Kickstarters. They've proven there is a market that is willing to buy the tables. They don't need tons of preorders to prove that anymore.

Terminally Bored posted:That's pretty far away. Wonder how come Zen Studios managed to get on Steam so quickly after TPA got greenlit. The timing was probably a coincidence. Or Steam decided to finally greenlight TPA when they knew a their competitor would be coming out soon afterwards. Zen made a PC version a while ago, it was a launch title for the Windows 8 Store.

ExMortis posted:but Paranormal is my favorite Zen table even though it's eeeeeeeeeasy. It could be that they're all "this easy" and I was just able to crack it mentally because I love the theme so much, dunno. 200mil on my first PC play, #2 on day 1 leaderboard baby (I had 450mil on xbox, was way under the top then). Definitely not an example of a complex ruleset either. Jersey Devil is a stupid-rear end mode though. Paranormal is my favorite and I also agree that it's pretty drat easy. But it just feels so good!

frameset posted:You have to wonder what on earth took them so long to get on PC. I believe the entire process was some of their licensing required DRM, they didn't want to do PC DRM that wasn't Steam, but they got stuck in Steam Greenlight, and they run so lean they didn't want to devote resources to working on a Steam version until they actually knew they could get on it.

japtor posted:Some stuff from the T2 Kickstarter: And now they are flat out saying it on Kickstarter: While we've hit our T2 goal, thanks to the overwhelming support of the pinball community, there's still time for those of you who have not pledged to get in on some great rewards while at the same time, help us to begin funding our future Kickstarter project, which we're hopeful will be The Addams Family. We are aggressively working to secure all the licenses needed to bring this widely popular table to The Pinball Arcade and with your continued support, we're optimistic that we will be able to add this holy grail of pinball to The Pinball Arcade in the near future!

Yeah, I only ever use nudges in PFX2 for bangbacks, and if you can do that at all depends on the tables. It's pretty easy in Clone Wars iirc. Or impossible. It's been a while.

ExMortis posted:Since the issue (supposedly) is making GBS threads up the New Releases page with 50-100 potentially overlapping DLCs at one time, just roll them out gradually! It's so easy! I don't even work in the tech industry, hell, I'm unemployed! The issue is probably dlc tables plus pro upgrades (dlc for dlc) and and season pack vs pro season pack. He said 'packages/combinations/upgrades.' It's not just too many dlcs, it's that the dlc scheme is too complicated to be conveyed nicely in Steam's store. They probably should have consolidated their offering and figured out a way to get to to fit into what Steam wants. Maybe their contracts dictate how these things can be sold. Maybe they want their offerings to be the same on every platform. I don't think what he says Steam said is false, I don't think Steam is unreasonable, but I don't think Farsight is as dumb as everyone in this thread loves to beleive.

DrNutt posted:The pro pricing is pretty awful anyway. Pay extra to unlock operator settings? That disable the leaderboards? I mean, I can't imagine them being that useful outside of a little novelty. If that was going to be an issue with getting their DLC on Steam they should have scrapped it. I completely agree.

DrNutt posted:The other choice that you should never ever pass up is when it gives you the chance to collect your bonus. It will add up your entire end of ball bonus as it stands and cash it out for a lump sum right then and there, but the real beauty is that it keeps adding from there, so when you drain you still get your bonus plus whatever added to it in that time. So if I were to take the Bonus wish, get say 4 million from it, and then just let the ball drain once it shoots out of the bazaar, I would get another 4 million from the real bonus?

Nurge posted:I have to note that you can get rid of the extra if you ever buy anything off steam again after TPA though. If you make a normal purchase on steam and choose steam wallet as the source it'll drain it and make you choose a second payment option for the portion the wallet doesn't cover. Unlike the normal Steam store, Steam Wallet has a minimum charge of $5. Probably because they don't want people buying 3 cent emotes on credit card.

DrNutt posted:I dunno, I think Star Trek and Pin*Bot are both far more unforgiving than TOTAN. With some practice nudging in PA makes it nearly impossible to lose balls to SDTM drains and the outlanes aren't nearly as hungry, especially with the shooting stars. Plus it's pretty friendly with extra balls, plus you can just skip a mode you don't like, plus you lose no table progress on a drain.

King Vidiot posted:Maybe it's just me, but despite the ball feeling weightless and the constant kickbacks and ball saves, Pinball FX 2's tables feel a lot "harder". Like, the balls drain faster, ramps and targets are harder to hit... and all that is coupled with the fact that they don't give you the insane bonuses and ludicrously high scores of 90's-era pinball games. I can pretty regularly get 200+ million or so in Monster Bash (which is still fairly average), but I can barely break a couple of million on any given FX 2 table. Granted, I didn't play for that long, but even on my worst runs in PA I get 10+ million on the DMD tables. PFX tables expect you to be able to play them for a long time, and expect you to focus on the missions. And many of the missions have strict shots or timing. It's pretty harsh and I don't really like them overall. Paranormal is my favorite and I think it's mostly because the main multiball missions don't matter at all and I hardly even try to start them.
