I just went to the arcade and tried my hand at Godzilla, Mando, and Batman 66. I am a total pinball noob and I sucked at mando and Batman, but I was 100% in the flow with Godzilla. I was getting multiballs, jackpots, and hitting the upper flipper shots. The table also seems to send the ball to the outlanes and straight down the middle less than the others. I can't stop thinking about going back and playing Godzilla pinball again. You guys have any thoughts on newish pinball tables?

Godzilla is great. Probably the best Elwin pin yet. Although Jurassic Park has lots of clever things in the code that are interesting/new.
I really like JJP POTC.
Multimorphic is in ascension with Weird Al. The day I foresaw has come.
Batman 66 is cool.
Beatles is fun when the arcade isn't so loud you can't hear it.
Wonka is cool. Not sure about GnR JJP yet.

It's funny how the flyer doesn't even mention the laser cannon mech.

I wish my local arcade had a larger pinball selection. We only really have the most recent stuff.

The way you progress through the map like a choose your own adventure book is cool, and the way the dinosaur modes are all variations of one (interesting) template is cool.

Why are all Stern in the past 6 years so absolutely soul-less and generic looking?

If you want to critique something and contribute to this thread, you're going to have to come up with something a little more than a nebulous buzzword that outs you as a fucking child.
Nice Zaccaria picture and all but c'mon don't be a cocksucking faggot and ask rhetorical questions, if YOU don't like thing, say so in English with some reasons.
Have you even PLAYED The Godzilla table in the OP? It's a major departure from your stock-standard table that Stern have been shitting out for over a decade, if anything Stern have UPPED their game in the last few years, maybe because of the competition with JJ, or maybe the same old 2 ramp, one scoop template was wearing a little thin with buyers and the table designers have tried to be a little more innovative and interesting.
