Quoted from chubtoad13:Metallica monster
-The art package is better
-The music is better
-The rules don't affect my song choice(better)
-Sparky is better than no Sparky
-Most of all the missing 2d band that clunks back and forth is way better
The Bell alone is better then all of the above.
Quoted from snyper2099:Why did they make the AC/DC premium/LE lower play field again? Most worthless piece of pinball real estate ever. I honestly get bored with trying to just go for huge song jackpots, while the play field is multiplied. Why really shoot anything else in the entire game when the shots are worth 5% of the points of a huge song jackpot?
There are a ton of great features in both machines, but MET is more balanced. Above is why. Which is better? For me, MET.
The multiballs are more meaningful in ACDC as opposed to in Metallica where they are better used as a tool to get to your next crank it up or maybe to stack with S&D. Plenty more to do then Just go for huge song jackpots on ACDC. Which is still a lot of fun when you have the SJ built up over 100mil and trying to get your multiplier going.
Encore is one of the better wizard modes out there too. End of the line from what I've seen is rather boring.
Quoted from snyper2099:There is nothing else in AC/DC worth anywhere near the same amount of points as built up song jackpots. If there is, you know something the best pinball players in world don't know. There's nothing else, trust me. I'm not saying it's not fun, it's a blast. I just tend to gravitate towards the games with unique and balanced scoring options.
Try collecting the supers at 3x. I've had collects over 100 mil for each multiball. Tell me where you can get that in Metallica Multiballs without having anything else stacked in.
Quoted from centerflank:Metallica doesn't have as many cheap drains, I couldn't count how many times shots at the TNT drops would go straight out the left outlane.
.
It's ok to say you like easier games! 
You learn after a while you don't shoot the TNT drops from a certain angle. Just like the drops on Mustang or any game with a risk reward shot. After a while you figure out which angle to shoot them from.
Quoted from snyper2099:Is 3x or 2x with other things collected not a "stack" as you put it?
"Collects" and comparing points across games is irrelevant in this thread.
Balanced scoring has nothing to do with collecting huge jackpots. You are further illustrating the reasons I do not like AC/DC. Just as you mentioned "where can you get that in Met?" You can't! That's the reason MET's more BALANCED.
Really a playfield multiplier is considered a stack now? Yes I found Metallica boring at times as it doesn't offer the same risk/reward gameplay that I've found to be addictive (outside the crank it up modes which are the best part of Metallica)
More balanced=more boring IMO but thats just me I like the type of games that you have to build things up for a huge payout.
I was gonna move my TWD Premium to try n get another Metallica and am finding I am already enjoying the game play more on TWD as it offers a much better risk/reward style of play.
Maybe it's just the nature of Metallica not being a very drainy game.
