Hi,
I was in the starting blocks for the next GOTG but i finaly decided to pass (for now) as the layout looks outrageously like the Met one that i own.
Ok, I know it can play way different but I don’t want to pay fully a game with same shots to do.
So I was looking for a game to add in my line-up.
I would consider the following games: Dialed In ( only 3-4 games in an expo, theme is really not appealing to me, was not really impressed in first feeling but I know I need to own a game to really have a fair opinion and like/dislike it and hype is rising), AS pro (also only 4-5 games, amazing artwork, theme does nothing for me, but enjoyed to play it) and IM ( no game, like the license and brutal games).
Gameplay is king for me, I like stacking MB and combos in particular then a creative and unique playfield layout.
My other main criterion is sound, callout.
I prefer fast game, flow.
Which game could you advise me and why?
Thanks

Quoted from TigerLaw:

IM and Met also have a similar layout. If you think Met and Gotg are too similar, pass on IM as well. My personal opinion.

I will have a look closer.
Anyway, as I said before, GOTG and MET are not pretty much identical but identical.

Effectively IM layout looks like Met one.
Does DI play like Woz? I owned this one and I had found gameplay confusing, (too much) deep, a king of labyrinthine system. Is DI a stacking game?
Thanks

Quoted from libtech:

If youve never owned iron man its very fast & fun, and you could pretty much afford an areosmith as well with the 4.5k youll save over a di.
If you enjoy stacking modes etc, got or sw are much better for that, plus sw is stupid fast if thats what your after.

Thanks but no way this stripped down SW, even so I am a SW’s fan. I already owned GoT.
But yes effectively I like stacking modes and multiball.
How many modes DI gets? Possible to stack?

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

I've played all 3 a bunch and all are fun. DI has yet to truly thrill me though and AS feels too much like a retread of other Sterns that I already own.
I love my IMVE as it never fails to get my adrenaline going and it stands out for its audio and straight forward gameplay!

According to you, which one (DI or IM) is the most different from Met and TWD that I own?

Great choice. Here is a post I made awhile ago that might help...

Great post!

I will check in the practice If i meet the same issues on mine.
I have a cliffy on the phone hole, need to check on the SIM card hole

I am a little afraid about the PP.
I did not want it coz of electrostatic issue with all magnets on the game and so the balls do not react as usual.
Who has this game with a PP and what are your impressions?
Thanks

first game, first 1M score...so i'll come back here at my tenth game!
Joke aside, game too slow for me (i think the PP is slowing the ball speed)...i will raise the slope.
is it also possible to adjust the power of flippers? if yes which is the adjustment number and which power have you set up?
oh..in my game the 2 cliffy has been factory installed.
thanks

Edit: it is said that the LE comes with a printed manual. don't have anything. must i ask it?
And the date production is 11/2/17. is it 11 February or 2 November?
