While watching the Eagles parade on TV, I played some Pinball FX3 after not playing it for probably a year or more. Then I wasn't in the mood for an open world game like Agents of Mayhem, but a RPG, so I started the download for Dragon Age Origins and got back to my Necromancer in Diablo III.
Pinball FX3. They just made it possible to import most of your games from Pinball FX2, so I did that and then played them all again for challenges and high score. I watched a training vid too and realized how to nudge pass from one flipper to another. In Pinball Arcade, I was trying to incorporate tilting into my play, but I never thought about The Nudge, which is just a very slight bump of the table to move the ball a tiny bit. Still, it's difficult to pull off in the midst of a fast paced game. I got good at trapping though. That I used constantly to better control my shots.
Pinball FX3 is really great. The home page suggests challenges you can do on your tables, which I used all the time to revist my old tables. There's a multiplayer mode where you challenge players who have set scores on certain tables. You just compete and try to level up enough to make the first cut. I just did it a few times. You'd have to keep up with it for days to get anywhere.
I also bought the Bethesda pack of three tables: Fallout 4, Doom and Skyrim ($11). Great tables every one. I especially liked Skyrim which incorporates leveling, equipment, and even a story. Really great stuff.
Then I wanted to go back to Agents of Mayhem but felt more like a RPG, so I played some Diablo III and raised the dead with my Necromancer. Its abilities are really cool. I've got a pack of skeletons fighting for me, undead mages, a health draining spell, and one that turns corpses into daggers that attack foes. Oh yea, and I can eat corpses for health. Yikes! I'm a fright. I love it.
I don't think I've said it today but BOOOOO the Eagles 
(congrats again on the championship)
I'm thinking about taking the plunge on Agents of Mayhem. It's $10 on Steam for the rest of the week. I like Pinball but it's not a game I would play all the time but damn I do like all the different tables.
I only play it every so often. It does get to me after a while, although the Pinball FX3 tables are much more playable than the simulations on Pinball Arcade. Sometimes there are minigames mixed in with the FX tables too like flying a space ship around and shooting things on the Star Wars tables.
Curious if you were rooting for the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
I was silently rooting for the Eagles while my roommate fumed.
Eagles all the way. I live 20 minutes from Philly Philly.
Meant goaztecs.
Gotcha. These comment trees confuse me. Not like real trees at all.
I didn't root for anyone during the Super Bowl. I actually didn't watch much of the game because I was traveling but what I did watch (a little of 2nd quarter on), I talked trash about both teams but at the same time if it was a good play I would call it as such.
It was such a big deal around Philly. I couldn't avoid watching it.
What system are you playing Pinball FX3 on, John? I've been kicking butt on the Thor table on my PS4.
On XBO and I've read that Pinball FX3 is connected with PS4, XBO, and Steam. I'll get Thor and see if I can compete with you. Although, if I remember right, you were really good at a lot of tables in Pinball FX2. I'm going to try though.
If I don't see you on the leaderboards, I can always go get the PS4 version. I had both systems running the other day and I have a bunch of tables on PSN from when it was called Zen Pinball. They should import over ot PBFX3 now.
You're right, I do kick butt on some of those tables, lol. Thor is the one I'm really good at.
I can't wait to load up PBFX3 on my PS4 now. I have tables from Zen Pinball that I hope will import over.
They don't support cross platform play between consoles, so anything you want to import will have to come from your PS3. I am disappointed, because most of my tables are on my 360.
Oh ok, the deal is you can share leaderboards and multiplayer play with Steam from PS4, XBO or Switch but not between the consoles. Oh well. I'll get it on PS4 anyway. I hope I kept the same profile from PS3, because that's where I had some of the first tables that came out. I'm not sure I did though.
Are you still AIwithWarpDrive?
Yea, on both XBO and PS4.
