Now that I have been playing ST pro since Christmas I thought I would share my thoughts. I am running the Cleland mod and it definitely added to improving the game for me and also the UV kit.
I am still trying to dial in my shots to hit the ramps and orbits. I truly love this game. I play at least 8 games or more a night. I usually stop because the family wants to get to sleep or my wrist start hurting.
For me this is way better than AFM, which we were debating on getting a SE remake. I am so glad I played AFM again after putting some time on ST at an arcade. I am glad I went with a demo pro dialed in for $5399 shipped. For me the extra $2300 was not worth the cost to get a premium.
Right now it’s my family’s and my favorite pin. Even my autistic son who is not a big pinball player loves it. He like EHOH more which we are getting and on the deposit wait list.
Hitting the demogorgon is more satisfying than hitting the UFO on AFM. It’s even better now with the code update that actually making the shaker do something in the game and with the UV lights going when you hit it. Pure fun.
I am far from getting wizard mode or beating it because I am still learning to be a better player. Started pinball in 2019 but In September 2020 was my first Stern NIB purchase with BKSOR premium and my first NIB was MBr SE back in August 2020 hence looking at AFMr.
I have zero regrets and want to thank those who helped me in this group. This game deserves so much more praise than the hate it receives. But their loss missing out on a great pin. I haven’t even watched one episode of the show.
Now waiting for EHOH and eventually Godzilla. Going to try LZ tomorrow at the arcade to celebrate my 50th birthday. Family, pinball, video games, presents, cake, and a steak dinner. Doesn’t get better than that.
