Quoted from Pin_Fandango:ok so I have been playing the game for 1 week now and wanted to know what is the general consensus about the difficulty of this game.
I am not by any means any pinball wiz but have been playing consistently for the last 10 months, pretty much daily, I think my game style improved but I can't really measure, all that to put in perspective what I am about to say. lol
How difficult do you guys find this game to be? I am consistently making 400 to 600M scores and although I have not gotten to fighting the devil I am just maybe a few days away from that if I continue playing it like this.
A typical game for me in completing cyborg, getting 2 Eddie cards, etc but I find I am getting to this point pretty organically without much strategy other than stacking maybe trooper MB with a mode (I have not found a better stack yet).
All that to say, I do not find this game very difficult at all, and at this rate I will most likely be finishing the game often.
Outlanes are wide open and pitch is 6.8 and the game plays very fast so I am thinking:
Is this game an easy game?
or is it high scoring?
or what?
You are doing good for sure, but you might be underestimating how far you have to go yet. Cyborg is definitely the "easy" mini-wizard mode. One of my favorites though. That gives you one of the cards. Trooper card I also find pretty easy. The other two cards are more difficult for me. Soldier (?) for starting 2 Minutes to Midnight is tough but doable. Mummy I actually find to be the toughest card, and is usually the one blocking me from The Beast. That might just be me though. So you need all four for Number of the Beast. But that is still only scratching the surface if you really want to finish the game, which means getting to Run to the Hills. That requires 10 tomb awards. So stuff like level two cards, soul shards for all of the modes, 6-way combo, etc. Basically you have to do everything and do all of it perfectly. That is a WHOLE different ballgame, and I doubt there are very many humans capable of getting there. To me, The Beast is the wizard mode, but it is nice knowing there is one more layer to strive for.
For reference, my GC score is 1.2 billion, with the rest of my high scores over 600M. I have battled the beast once so far, and I think only gotten one level 2 card (Trooper) a few times. I am a decent player, but not top level by any means. I doubt I will ever see RTTH, but will happily keep trying.
