Which Star Wars and Marvel tables are the best?

[carolyntheinformant]

I'm a huge pinball fan, but I'm not really into Star Wars or Marvel and there are dozens of tables.

Which ones are the best of the best? I'd like to get some, but I'm not sure where to start.

These would be my top picks from each franchise. If Zen overhauls the physics for these older tables things could get very interesting.

Star Wars: Balance of the Force
- Starfighter Assault
- Darth Vader
- Return of the Jedi

Note: Might of the First Order is also a great Star Wars table and I quite enjoy Droids.

Marvel: Avengers Chronicles
- Infinity Gauntlet
- Fear Itself
- World War Hulk
- The Avengers

Note: I'm not keen on Avengers but the other three are my favourite Marvel tables.

Nothing associated with Disney Star Wars.

I would never touch Marvels Women of Power, as i never read comics or watch superhero stuff... Then bought it one day and was hooked for hours.

I'm in the same boat: I don't care about the source material and find some of the "cartoony" sound effects a little overbearing, but the background music for that one sold me on it.

You honestly should just try your luck and pick-up a table pack you would never usually touch.

While this probably isn't bad advice during the summer sale, I really don't think Zen get enough credit for their demo system: you can keep plugging away at any table for 90 second intervals, bashing the restart button in the pause menu until you get a good feel for a table. It's so much more consumer-friendly than the score limit imposed by other pinball sims.

tl;dr: try them all out and see what clicks for you, my dude.

If I had to provide a single recommendation from this lot, though, it'd have to be the Heavy Hitters pack. Both Civil War and Venom are decent (even if Venom's "top of field mini-table" is just something that doesn't really match my playstyle). But Deadpool is on a whole other level - the mission progression and general flow of the table have kept me coming back to that more than any other Marvel table. And while I could see how the humor might not be everyone's cup of tea, Deadpool constantly mouthing off at the player and his enemies and Zen themselves gave it a lot of personality.

Those are all good tables which you mentioned! If I would have to choose one from the two franchises, I would choose Masters of the Force and Guardians of the Galaxy also ;)

hey anyone knows why my friend keep dissapearing from Leaderboards on my side? When he launche the game he appears there but when he shuts down his game and Steam he dissapears again.

Other people I have on friend list never dissapear even when they go offline.

We checked the setting and everything should be correct

Crossplay set to Steam

I cannot understand why this one person has such issues which is the more furstrating, it is a guy I know in real life and we love to compete with each other in Leaderboards.
