What an incredible score, but stern needs to patch High score error ASAP. I would be pissed not to upload my high score and name after spending almost 2 hours trying to achieve it.
Hi Karl, just curious, what would your top 10 (or 5 if that's too much ;) favorite pins be right now? I LOVE the looks of GnR LE and am really close to buying it. It's just SUCH a different game in terms of gameplay design. My concern is that all the "chaos management" would get boring after a week or so... Do you think it will for a skilled player like yourself? Most anti-GnR people criticize it because it doesn't emphasis "classical" slow-controlled-ball skill shooting and techniques, but rather focuses more strongly on "on the fly, rolling/moving skill shooting" (sure it has SOME classical ball handling and "slow time" but MUCH less than the majority of the pins of history. I don't want to spend 10k for a "short-term relationship" with fun... I want to love it for years and get my $$ out of it like Medieval Madness. -- Cheers! --
Such a tough question to answer! I'll admit I was concerned with GnR the first week but I keep going to play it again and again and again. It fits my playstyle so perfectly and I think it is teaching me to have better multiball handling skills when trapping isn't ideal. It will be a long-term keeper in my collection where I usually have games from 12-18 months. Other keepers: JJP POTC, LOTR, and Jurassic Park. I'm actually upgrading my JP to a Premium soon. AIQ is also phenomenal but time will tell if that's a true long-term game or not. Others out of my collection that I still have a tremendous fondness for, and would have kept if I didn't have limited space and funds: Walking Dead, Wizard of Oz, Iron Maiden, Total Nuclear Annihilation, Iron Man, and Safe Cracker (that's an oddball for me I suppose)
@@IEPinball Wow! Thanks for the (fast) response. -- Thanks for your opinion of your current favs. Pinside rankings are cool but are "colored" by players of all various skill levels. It's interesting to see how a player who's skill you admire feels about those games. My other concern with GnR is that all that "abnormally frequent" multiball action is going to break down the machine much faster (and in ways not typically common) a la "Appetite for Destruction" lol. But I think I'm just going to "Live and let Die" lol. That machine is too amazing to pass up. Especially in the LE trim. Wouldn't want them to sell out and get stuck with SE. The upper playfields (and look of that section) is just too cool. This is, bar none, the most beautiful pin I have ever seen. Thanks for the feedback and keep on putting out these cool vids! They are definitely fun to watch (and learn from!) -- Cheers!
@@FavoritenElektro Can't go wrong with either game, both are phenomenal. They are such different experiences that I don't feel comparisons between the two are valid. I do think that GnR will last longer in my collection than AIQ. If only I had more space and money!
You hit 140 plus combos in 2 balls!! Im lucky if I hit 10. I never knew what Binary meant. I own this pin and I must say its not leaving. Great flow and rules.
Hey Karl! Have you been having issues with rejections on the Captain Marvel ramp? It seems like it’s an issue, and it might keep me from getting this table over others.
I haven't, as you may have noticed in the video. Key is to wax the metal ramp and make sure that the wireform is parallel to the metal ramp entrance. I had to bend my wireform back a little.
@@IEPinball Interesting, thanks for the info! I'm getting my first table and I'm looking for something with staying power. What do you think of this versus something like Deadpool?
@@jackthompson3576 It's a tough call and really comes down to the type of game you enjoy. AIQ is simple on the surface but has tons of different layers for strategy. Deadpool on the other hand is more straightforward from start to finish. I haven't owned Deadpool so I can't really speak for it. I can say that AIQ, while a fantastic game, probably won't be around here forever.
@@IEPinball Why don't you think you'll have it around forever? I've heard lots of people get sick of the Audio/Visuals really quickly and that it felt like a rushed package, so I'm wondering if that's where you're at, as well.
@@jackthompson3576 Not because of the A/V. Honestly, can't quite put my finger on it. The game has gotten so much better with the newer code releases. Just looking at my small collection, if something has to go to bring in a new game at some point I can't see getting rid of my other games first. If space and money weren't an issue I'd hold onto it for a long time.
Yes, but...you can no longer spam the same two shots over and over. You have to vary your combos which makes it quite a bit more difficult to pull off large values.

Fantastic game, played by a fantastic player,!!!
why didn't fight thanos? did stern patch that error? 1:38:08
That's not a bug. If you get to Battle Thanos with all 6 gems in your possession you skip the battle, "Snap Thanos," and are awarded 1billion points.

@@IEPinball Hey Karl, some time passed, im interested to know what do you think about JJP GnR and AIQ today?

thx for uploading, new aiq code is amazing. next Elwin hopefully has a carte blanche.
Awesome, but what are the tilt settings?
The issue with no high score entry screen when Trophy Mode is set to HARD was fixed in version 1.01 of the game software.

What the ... !? Two times 5 billions+ score in a row? 😂😂😂 Now that’s truly unhuman! 👏👏👏
are combos still this insane on this machine? have been trying to go over 500m on this machine for the past week
Yes, but...you can no longer spam the same two shots over and over. You have to vary your combos which makes it quite a bit more difficult to pull off large values.
Do you think this is a bad game to buy for beginners? This is the only game I’ll be able to afford for the next 5-10 years.
just git gud :)
Mcniller... I am a pretty average player, but I love Avengers IQ!!
Avengers Infinity Wars but in pinball form.
This is game looks SICK gonna pick one up soon
TFW someone scores more than your combined lifetime total on the machine in a single shot.
keep uploading youtube content :)
Wow, I only played Pro of this and this version is a lot better.
this game is so hard!
