I've had this Godzilla Pro for 7 months and it's BY FAR the most fun pin I've ever played. For me, no other pin comes close (I'm talking to YOU, Jaws and Kong), although I've been enjoying Wick now and then. As for GZ, I'm still not even slightly tired of it, playing every day here at home. I'm still learning and constantly re-reading the deep, impressive rule sheet. I broke 1 billion after 5 months, but last night, two months later, I felt like I finally knew what the hell I was doing. The most helpful video on YouTube, by far, for improving is the two-part Godzilla Strategy by The Pinball Company. I've rewatched it countless times. I love this pro and have no desire for the toys in the premium. The only mods I added are the interior side art blades and an exterior volume control (with headphones jack). I'm not convinced I need a shaker motor. Oh yeah, and I covered up the annoying backlit Insider Connected bc I have no interest in connecting, except here on Reddit! submitted by /u/83submariner [link] [comments]
