Quoted from swampfire:The STH vs. GOTG decision is all about mood, not theme. To me they are both great themes, but I like darker pins like BSD. My favorite color is brown or dried blood red (I love TWD for that reason alone). Layout-wise I think GOTG and STH are equals, but I love the left orbit that feeds the right ramp on STH, and the skill it takes to manage the drop target bank. It’s like a friendlier version of the Rocket shot.
One thing that GOTG does better than STH is the first mini-wizard. Cherry Bomb is the most fun you can have in pinball, next to a 6-ball multiball in Aerosmith (very similar). Your reward for finishing 4 modes in STH is the most laid-back multiball ever. It’s not for everyone.
BUT. STH has like 3X more modes than GOTG. It will probably last longer for me, for that reason alone. That, and burning the evil out of Will. Burning Will never gets old.
The last demogorgon mode is basically cherry bomb. Cant Stop This has the unlimited 60 second ball save, collect jackpots on all shots, then the ramp raises and lowers requiring a shot to the mouth just like cherry bomb.
I've played the premium and never even noticed the shaking demogorgon. My pro is adjusted well and the demogorgon moves quite a bit based on nudges and stuff. Not somethin I miss on the pro at all. Now the first time the ball stuck to the backboard on the premium I was impressed.
