Really great run and score! I am going to try some of the things I saw you do and see if it helps out my game. The "Hmmm" at 2:25 was priceless! Much more muted than I tend to be lol.
Hahaha I love you too man! Yes, kettlebell is an excellent work out. Especially if you have a history of working out, you'll see muscles coming back really fast. And I do believe that working out with weights will make you lose that beer belly faster than doing cardio
hey dude! soooo..... after many, many, many tries i jumped ahead of you on your pro mode monster bash tournament. i'm not trying to brag about it, but 50% of the time my score won't post and it says i'm offline. if you check my last stream here on youtube, you can see my score. anyways, i can't figure it out. i only have this issue with this game. say hi to the netherlands for me! peace
That's great man. Fantastic job. That's not something that's easy to achieve. You must have played a hell of a game for it. Seriously, That's off the charts
Go into the FX Discord. There are people from Zen Studios in there that can help you fix the problem you're having with the game. Maybe even the people from the community in there can help you fix it. The link to the Discord is on the Steam store page
is pro mode harder than when it was first added? after quite a few tries i only got 80 million in your tournament. however.... i WILL take down your score. ha. probably not!
hey man... i've been playing plenty of pinball fx and pinball fx has been a dream and a nightmare at the same time. first off... how do you add friends? 2nd... in "tournaments" half the time or more the game says "you're offline" when i know i'm not. 3rd... what gpu/cpu are you running the game on and what are your settings, if i may ask. i subbed and i'm EGGPLANT303 on pin fx peace
You have to add your friends to your friends list on the platform you're playing on. You can't do it in the game itself. There haven't been any server problems lately so I'm guessing being offline is on your end. You could always join the FX Discord and ask Zen and the players there for help. The link to the Discord is on the Steam store page. I'm running an i5 10400F with 16 Gigs of RAM and a GTX 1660 Super with 6GB VRAM. Depending on the settings I'm using I usually run the Williams tables somewhere between 180 to 240 fps. Make sure to turn on Nvidia Reflex + boost in the game settings if you have an Nvidia Card. Also go into the Nvidia configuration screen in Windows and in the 3D settings menu, set power management to optimal performance. Set low latency mode to ultra. Also turn off v-sync in the game's graphics settings and set the frame limit to unlimited. These changes will give you quite the improvement when it comes to input latency. The time between a press of a button and the flipper going up will be much shorter. And having an as short as possible input delay is very important when it comes to pinball. Lower graphics settings to reach a higher framerate. I sometimes even go 720P to get a steady 240 frames per second framerate
@@robointhezone thanks for getting back to me. just a couple more questions if possible: what about vulkan/open gl settings for this game? also preferred AA method settings in game and in nvidia control panel? btw... i have a 3070, ryzen 5800x, 32gb ddr4 cl16 thanks!
i'd much rather play the real life pins that are within spitting distance from my house. 4 houses away there is an original monster bash, a special edition of elvira's house of horrors and now the stern jaws pin. these are at his mom's house. where he lives now, like 3 blocks away he has 13 pins.... an iron man, the getaway, tron, transformers, godzilla, jurassic park, avengers, star trek the next generation, .. i can't remember the rest rn, but he is ranked #18 in the world currently and has been ranked much higher prior. your voice sounds sounds east coast. prolly new york. peace
@@nucleareggplants I'm from The Netherlands. My accent is probably from American music, movies and cartoons. Also RU-vid and Twitch ofcourse. Yeah real pins are cool. But they hurt my back and my wrists haha
@@nucleareggplants You'll have to ask someone else about that. Aren't those similar things like DirectX 12? I don't think the game suports those. Not sure at all tho
They say : skill is, when you make something difficult look easy... Thats exactly what i see when i watch your clips... Nice and Thx .. And learning each time ...
@@robointhezone now it's time foe you to learn from MY videos! hahaha. but i have been chasing your M.B. pro mode tourney and i had a really weird glitch at the end of the stream. lmk what you think
Haha. This is Pro Mode indeed but go watch the vid where I play the wizard mode on Classic mode. You'll see that it's actually very picky and it's very hard to hit your shots. It is possible to get really good at it tho. This week I hit the right ramp about 7 times in a row @@robbishreal
Thanks for recording that. That was my Swords of Fury tournament for that last game in the video. I've been wanting to see other folks strategy for that machine.
I believe this is camera 2. I almost always use this one or the manual camera from the highest viewpoint. I used to play without the added visuals because they can be distracting but at one point I felt like they are so entertaining to look at that I want to play with them on. I play on Steam
Yes, it's a difficult shot. Just like on the real machine they say. I'm not gonna lie. I have a lot of hours on this table. I would never be able to do this without that
About 2000 hours of digital pinball practice in five years. Learning most of the flipper tricks. Trying to master almost every Williams release on FX3 and FX
This is what I found: The Fast Cast is scored by hitting the Caster's Club (or the drop target when it's supposed to be up) right after a Long Cast or ball launch (not an Autocast, though). The first Fast Cast is worth 2M and goes up 1M each time you get it. Fast Cast maxes out at 10M.
Wow! Just a pity you were too late doing this in Zen's distance challenge 😉 I'll have to try counting to get better at getting my balls into caster's club...
That's what the table does automatically after you've drained the ball during distance challenge. It probably does it in the other modes that are not regular three ball games too
@@fuzeebear8716 Playstation just received an update that lets you play the table with the FX3 physics with the raised flippers. That can be a lot more fun when it's frustrating for you now. And then you can come back to the simulation mode when you have more experience. This update will come to Steam on the 7th, together with a lot of new tables
@@robointhezone I don't think I've gotten that update on PS5 yet. Not seeing the option to adopt FX3 physics. I'll wait and see if it updates tomorrow along with PC
Yeah I know. HamburglerHunk is a great player. I don't understand what his tactic was tho. Did a few practice runs but I can't figure it out. There's more time tho
Man how do you get so good at pinball? Does this transfer over to real cabinets? Ive been trying to get good at pinball but it always seems luck based, the ball keeps going between my flippers!
You have to put the hours in and at one point start learning the pinball tricks like the deadflip, post passing, slap saving. I can recommend you one really good instruction video but you might have to put in maybe someting like 200 to 300 hours first to get a better idea of how the ball behaves and how to aim and shoot the ball. It's the same video that I studied when I felt like I was ready to learn some tricks ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-krnjVxe4iN0.htmlsi=afeDv1ggoK9RbHDY And there's also this one that is also very helpful ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XdyaV6RQK4Y.htmlsi=iWcDW26tio33M2eL When you're ready for it, start with one trick and practice it till you're pretty good at it. The trick I studied first was the deadflip. I just tried it in every scenario that I thought it might work. And then at one point you just know, I can do it when it comes back to the flippers this way. But I can't do it when it comes back to the flippers that way. Learn how to do it on one table and on the next table you'll learn it quicker. At one point you will start to play on a table for the first time and you almost instantly know when you can use it. And don't forget to nudge forward when the ball goes near the outlane. Nudge the top of the slingshot or the post into the ball. But that info is in those videos also. I recommend to try to do that from now on and try to slap save also. And yes the tricks and the aiming and everything on Pinball FX work basically the exact same way on real tables. I went to an arcade three years ago and I was using all the tricks I had learned. You only have to tune into the fact that there's a little less input delay on a real machine. As soon as I realized that I started hitting my shots. And I was slap saving. Nudging the ball away from the outlanes. Dead flipping. Sorta live catching. Almost everything you see me do in the videos
@robosuperjackpot amazing response! I appreciate your resources and I'll remember your advice as I play. Does this also apply to the non-simulation boards like South Park?
Thanks Squeak! You saw that nudge the table needed for me to hit the tripple jackpot? I Wasn't going to let the ball roll away with that many points at stake 💫
I can see that happening. One of my first games on it in Pro Mode was a 1.1 billion points game in a small tournament. Still your 1.4 bil score is really good. And could never be just luck. There had to be a lot of skill involved@@eniregnat
