Get an Iron Man.

Skip GOT pro... Yuck

Heck, if you're gonna speak that blasphemy, might as well as just skip em all and get BBH.

BBH > IM

Was IM one of the choices?? Look, I love IM. I own it, and for a quick 3 games in 10 minutes, it can't be beat. So much satisfaction. However, the question wasn't about fast hitting games like that. It is about a couple deeper games that are mid-length games for playing. May as well say neither, LOTR to be the opposite end of the spectrum.

True. It was off topic-ish. I was thinking speed of GOT pro. But, alas, you're right.

OP... Ultimately, you gotta play the games before you buy and get the one that feels best to you. sounds like you're planning on doing that... Great move. Go with your gut and have fun with it!

You definitely need to get 10-20 games on each pin if this is a big investment for you. Hopefully someone local can help you out, and explain the rules for you. That's what sold me on GOT.

I promise that it isn't. The ramps and orbits are critical during Multiball and Crank It Ups, as well as for qualifying Seek and Destroy and starting "And Justice for All". Definitely more depth and strategy than IM (which I also love, don't get me wrong).

OP, I know that I'm a trek for you, but if you want an in depth look at GOT, feel free to come by anytime to play. There are also 3 locations in the greater cincinnati area that have GOT pros. And one location has a MET Prem although very dirty but current code.

There is definitely a lot more to Met than just bashing toys

Just curious... If neither game's theme works that well for you, why limit it to these two titles? There's a lot of modern sterns to pick from...

That's cool!

Metallica all day!!

Tough one!

I enjoy playing got pro more, but met is so much nicer looking/better build and is still very fun. Theme wise I dont care for met, but like got.

I see you went got, I would have too.

They are both great games, that's why I had to have both!

I got my MET in April of 2015 when people started to have problems with playfields but mine is perfect, knock on wood. GOT I purchased in Feb of this year, slight insert ghosting on 1 or 2 inserts but has not gotten any worse.

I didn't even notice it until people here started complaining about it. Couldn't even say if it came that way or started after so many games. Just as long as it does not get any worse, who cares, enjoy the game.

Both are decent machines but not personally favorites. Metallica is themed amazingly, the pin is one of their best looking ones ever. I don't find it great to play, it doesn't flow that well and I find it overhyped. Also the band does little for me so that takes away, if you a Metallica fan it's probably much better to play. GoT is basically the opposite, I enjoy playing it and it flows but damn did they waste the theme. It completely misses the feeling of the subject matter. The pin visually is like an 80's spin off of the show and not in a good way.

^^^Opinions are like assholes...you know the rest.

I thought that was the point of the thread? Did I say something offensive to you?

It is, all I'm saying is everybody has a different opinion right. I personally think MET has just about everything you could ask for in a pinball game, and GOT is no slouch but could have had better art all around.
