Shame there’s no Destruction Jackpot champ in the score table, got 4x 42m and had 2x running

Cracking score.

There are many sub-awards I think are missing from the high score table which are likely to be added in later updates

Destruction jackpot
Loops
Fighters destroyed
Secondary battles
 
Is there anyone with an LE near SE London who would be happy to let someone play for an hour?

We’re considering a Premium, but want to check it plays like the Pro (and to play one that’s setup correctly, although we’ll get to do that at the tournament).
 
64 games so far still no extra balls, although I did almost finish Fighter Attack which would have awarded one.
I've only managed to start Tank attack once, and yet to unlock 2nd tier battles. Must try harder.

Definitely has a just one more go appeal to it. It's both frustrating and exhilarating and very rewarding when it all comes together on a good game.



On my pro, fast balls through the building aren't always getting caught by the magnet on the way back out, which is annoying if it's a locked ball and you drain, could do with a ball save for that. How's the catch rate on other pro's?

Extra ball is hidden in the jets? (that's what I've read anyway)
 
Just wondering if anyone else is still waiting for theirs to be delivered.? Keep phonong Hadfields and they say not booked on a delivery yet even though when phoned Tues they said it would be Thurs. Seems like everyone else has got theirs except me. Know I'm not in the middle of the country but would have thought they could give me a date at the very least!

I've managed one extra ball, from 10 jet fighters. There doesn't seem to be another way (yet) of achieving one, plus I can't find an extra ball insert suggesting they'll all be awarded, rather than light extra ball.
Also I find the ball save light to be too dim and not really noticeable when lit as it blends in to the artwork - I might consider putting a filter on.
Extra ball %ge is 25%, factory default, but it doesn't seem to be lowering the number of fighters required.

Tank attack really needs focusing on, I tend not to hit those shots by accident.

I've not really had a problem with the ball not being influenced by the magnet from a shot through the building, doesn't all grab but enough to not send it SDTM. Shot to the left of the building which returns through the building is often a SDTM though.

Have also sussed out how to light the bridge attack at the captive ball (any 50 switches).
Have learnt quite a few things from the first exploratory session and a quick glance at the rules - will be sharing them on stream tonight, and hopeful that could hit a billion.
 
One thing different pro / LE is the pro has a tournament button LOL

You guys are killing me. Does Phil have these in stock? Can I part with Jurassic park?

I think they've all gone - You snooze, you lose.

It was a tough decision for me to part with JP, but so far, happy I did.

Ah well, not super ar5ed tbh, was half tempted for Christmas maybe but more than happy to catch some T-rex's instead
 
Have been enjoying reading about this over the past couple of days - living vicariously through the NIB buyers:-)
Think I'm gonna have to get my **** down to Flipout or Funland on Saturday to play some more. Enjoy guys!
 
Oh the new code seems to really focus on finishing a city fully by the looks either that or it seems you could change cities to score a lot!
 
So it seems for every thing you finish in a city you build X to a max of 5x!
 
I only played mine briefly, late last night (before it started a slow as hell code update at 10:30pm), but it was the most immediate 'fun' I've had with a NIB. Normally it takes me a while to get to know the shots, but this is just so much fun with a fantastic spread of shots and toys. I have no particular knowledge of Godzilla, but it seems so goofy that I love it as a Pinball machine - has everything. I need to fix the flipper issue, and maybe jack it up beyond the 6.8 pitch I started with. What a pin!!
 
Thoughts from a rubbish player. TLDR - it’s still really fun even if you’re crap!

Went to Tilt today to play their LE, first, it looks amazing, not just the cabinet art but the playfield with all the toys. I found mecha mb fairly easy to start, interested to see if the barrier targets are harder on the pro with their no rotation. Also pretty funny when the ball hits mechagodzillas right arm and flies onto the rail, not really sure that’s a design feature but enjoyable anyway!
Building collapse and mb of course is also great fun to watch.

The bridge made less of an impact on me than I expected but maybe I just didn’t focus it enough or it needed more sound, not sure.

That shot that’s not a shot to the left of the building that then comes out the building is brutal at high speed. I also cursed the pop bumper a few times 😆
Ramp shots, loop… ok pretty much all the shots feel great, right ramp is easier than left. Love how the building diverts the ball if it’s on a different level.

I probably miss a fair bit of the humour from the film clips when playing alone as I can’t look at the screen too much when playing yet.

I’m not very good at dissecting each bit individually but basically it’s just great fun. I did get a bit frustrated at one point as I got 90m early on then had several games not breaking that, so went to play monster bash for a bit to ease my frustration, but then I wanted to have another game on Godzilla! I was feeling ok about a 100m game I had (I did say I was rubbish) until Kirk stepped up and got over a billion lol

I struggle to see how anyone playing this for the first time will not really like or love it, no matter your ability there’s something for everyone to do and something that’s achievable even if you only focus on that one thing.

Looking forward to playing the pro at Electric Circus to see the differences
 
Seems I’ve been playing on the shipped pro code (0.76?) as I’d downloaded 0.80 but hadn’t installed it :rolleyes:. Noticeable difference with the latest code is the Godzilla multiball virtual locks have gone. Once you light Godzilla multiball it only takes one shot to start it. I’m guessing that was already the case with 0.80?
Seems a shame as I liked the ball lock footage but now only for LE/Premium. Maybe they did that because of the magnet problems?

Spent time on Wayne's pro last evening. Beautiful game and it flows lovely with great shots. Software seems to be heading in the right connection and the insider connect is great (but not for code updates, Stern, an incremental update without the assets would be great). The big letdown for me is the sound. Way too repetitive in general.
Overall, I probably won't buy as I think there will be a load offloaded come the next title. Will wait for Mr Bond.
