I can't believe no one has the Portal table in his top five! I am biased, as I liked the game a lot and find the way the table is created very good in deed.

I also think Portal is a great table. The reason that it’s not one of my favs is because of that mini playfield. It’s very hard but not in a fun way. You have to beat it three times to complete mission 2 and if you want to make the wizard mode a little easier on yourself, you have to remove the turrets by first hitting the bumpers a certain amount of times and then by playing that mini playfield again.

I love the normal table layout and I like the other missions and multi balls so I don’t want to spend that much time on a frustrating mini game that takes me away from all the good stuff.

As a newcomer to pinball fx3 I do not have that many yet, except the free sorcerer, Portal, and the three Alien. Today I just added Son of Zeus, Adventureland, and the two tables of the Force Awakens.

I think the more I get, the harder it will be to decide which is top 5. LOL

Commenting on my new ones (Warning! ESRB Content Rating 18+)

Adventureland:

Oh My God! Where on earth did they get such high quality LSD which they apparently took when they created that table? Boy would I have loved to compose and record a more fitting music, complementing that LSD trip. Hmmm... Now wait...Now I know what's missing in the Zen List, a dedicated Timothy Leary table!

Son of Zeus:

...them feckin birds..feckin bloody birds... LOL

The Force Awakens:

Straight way top 5... most amazing!

Might of the First Order

Crap... straight away top 5... three left only.... note to self, stop buying them tables. LOL

I really don't like Portal at all. I don't like the muted blue and grey colour scheme. Yes, i know that's how the main game is, but i prefer my Pinball to be colourful. Also, every mission feels the same, and the mini playfield is terrible and annoying.

One thing this thread shows is that people definitely have different tastes as to what makes a good table. No surprise there. It’s funny that there are a number of tables that are in both the top 5 and bottom 5 lists of different people. It shows that Zen does a good job of offering up tables with diverse play styles.

Personal note: Fantastic Four a bottom 5 table? Come on Bosstime, that table is pure pinball magic.

There also are those we can agree are great (Aliens, Son of Zeus etc.) or not so much (V12, Paranormal etc.).

[cantankerous--]

So, let's all agree. Those who think v12 sucks that v12 needs to be retooled and returned to what it was originally when it first came out. I promise all of you that v12 used to be a great table, but after the two different physics changes to the table now it is no longer even a good table. The changes made to the physics make it no longer flow and the ramps are almost impossible to hit. Make it work again Zen, like it used to.

[Maxitsu]

Apart from V12 there are no bad tables. From all tables i played enough this is so far my favoriet.

Best:

- Wild West Rampage.
- Sorcerers Lair
- AVP
- Deadpool
- Mars (in fx2 it was on of my worst)
- Family Guy

Worst:

- V12
- Venom
- Civil War
- Secrets of the Deep
- Shaman
- Eldorado
- Archer

Ya, v12 now sucks. It didnt always. There was a time when zen first released it that it worked so well. It was, until they started mucking with the physics that it no longer flowed and the ramps no longer worked. I will continue to be vocal and hope they return it to the original physics or retool it so that it works well, like it used to.

I've never liked V12 in any iteration- the feel, music and vibe is just generic and boring. Maybe someone else here will speak up and say they like it as much as you do...

I don't find V12 to be a bad table at all..
The left ramp is a pain to keep hitting,and for me,the harder a table appears to be,the more I'm intrigued and motivated to keep trying it...

Obviously, opinions differ though.

[SteveValek]

I've played through a lot of them now,and most are pretty good..

Enjoy these as the more standout tables...

Spiderman
World War Hulk
Moon Knight
Jaws
Family Guy
AvP
Epic Quest

The only ones,I'm struggling with...

Tesla
Secrets of the Deep
X Men

Just keep hitting the balls,on these tables with not much going on...Boring!

[Sgt_Tenor]

Of course, It's all a matter of personal opinions. Do you actually mean favorites?

In that case,

American Dad
Back to the Future
Fear Itself
X-men
SW Might of the first order.

South Park would be on the list but it's not on the PBFX3 list.

Worst
V-12

Vader is in the list too. the missions are cool but oo many hurry ups. Why focus on the more difficult missions when you can do hurry ups.
