I really like Wild West: Here's Why
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- Wild West is a world. While I don't like Modern Day much, Wild West is the world I put as the top one (bar modern day) last time I ranked them, and that still remains. But why? Well, I thought I'd go into a little more detail. Because why not, thats fun and interesting. I think. Actually in hindsight it really isn't all too interesting is it? Whatever. Its fine.
Still working on the next video so that will happen at some point, might take a while as its turning out to be pretty darn long, unfortunately. I mean its not necessarily unfortunate but... whatever its fine.

If you whip a torchwood around on a 5 track cart really fast, you only need 1 plantfood for triple damage on all lanes.
unless the 5 track cart is at the very beginning
This is not a good idea, for problems similar to those with the Gargantuar minecart stalling.

this world has one of my favorite references in the entire game.
The Poncho zombie is a direct reference to the ending of the Western movie "A Fistful of Dollars" in which the main character uses the exact same strategy as the Poncho zombie uses in game to win the final duel of the movie.
oh, I always thought that it was a "Back to the Future" reference
I thought it was just a fun idea since a poncho can cover more than it usually does.

Ever since NMT, I’ve always felt cactus would be far more at home in the WW. It’s not only thematically fitting but her mechanics almost seem designed for this world. Her piercing and spike weed duck work really well against chickens, as well as acting as a way to damage prospectors and an emergency piano killer. But it’s dps isn’t high enough to effectively deal with bulls or gargs. I honestly can’t believe there isn’t a mod that puts a cactus in the Wild West.
Agreed
I agree
Agreed
i always thought spikeweed worked better on WW than pirate seas.. so good for chickens and pianos like you said
😮u
I realize the chicken wrangler bit was a joke, but it made me realize that it might be a Zelda reference? In Zelda, if you attack one chicken, a swarm of them will appear and attack you.
As someone who has only played vanilla (and hated it) and Reflourished (and mostly loved it), wild west has felt very meh. I loved it's concepts but not it's levels, but this video is getting me excited to check out other mods to see how they make use of the mechanics like minecarts.
Atleast the expansion in reflourished did something that vanilla didn't like making a fair boss fight
0:25 since Egypt is already in disrepair, and the mummies are already dead and zombified, perhaps there has been a massive length of time between the fall of Egypt and the arrival of the explorer, it's just that it's hard to notice given the fact that they are all zombies!
Yea, it'd probably be the british, during the whole boom of excitement surrounding ancient Egypt, mummies, and the like
penny says in the beginning of the world you are 4000 years in the past. plus jurassic marsh indicates there were human zombies living with the dinosaurs (edit: i say this to contradict the argument of zombified mummies, since the game just throws zombies in whatever time period it wants). its just an inapropriate zombie.
not to mention the name of the world is ANCIENT egypt
@@viniboi_4963 I can't believe I didn't notice that before! It was right there this whole time!
Always head cannoned this, even though it says ancient it could be referring to ancient as of the period you arrive. The original lawn for AE was also an excavation site, which explorer is probably a remnant from. You could probably throw lost city zombies into AE to sell the illusion of it being a dig site where the mummies have come to life, or even bring explorer into LC too, since the time periods would relatively line up.
"Not O.K Corral" levels in mods are some of the best designed levels in the game, but I feel like we can all agree that Wild West Day 35 (Vanilla) is easily the worst designed level in the franchise. No freaking contest.
Not sure if the worst designed one because there's a lot of awful ones but definitely the hardest and definitely awful
Not OK Corral is just a waiting simulator. It’s the most boring use of minecarts possible. Some mods do fun stuff with them tho
@@melvint-p9500 it said in mods, you silly fool
It got fixed later on I think but the final NOC level in vanilla used to have an AWFUL feature where you had a random chance of getting Coconut Cannon as the last plant, and if you didn't the level was almost impossible to win
@@GNVS300hello gold ninja
lets be honest, we all love wild west because of its music
Same!It invokes a feeling of intensity & tells you that a doom is coming!
Using that logic we would all adore big wave beach
I agree, especially the final wave music
@@tengeskibidiBig Wave is good, but not AS GOOD as Wild West by a long shot
@@tengeskibidifunny cause BWB is my favorite one lol
I think poncho is cool, because you don’t immediately know whether or not you should move your mine carts to attack it.
Something to mind about Chicken Wranglers (or more specifically the chickens themselves) is that lobbed plants will try to aim at where the chicken is going to be when the shot lands. Due to this shots can sometimes miss either because the chickens die before they get to their presumed destination or they get blocked by something.
Also, if you freeze Piano Zombies and Chicken Wranglers (either with butter, Iceberg Lettuce or some other stopping method that EA has shoved in the game somewhere) it'll prevent their abilities from going off, so you could technically kill Chicken Wranglers before they can even release their horde. (Though considering you have like a hundred ways of dealing with the onslaught, it's probably easier to just deal with it.)
PopCap is the developer and EA is the publisher, get it right.
WILD WEST? More like, uh cool :).

I really just like the feeling of how “wild” the Wild West really feels, with a bunch of ways for zombies to either rush your defenses, switch lanes, or come at you from the back rows. All worlds follow their theme decently well, but it’s not often I feel like the feelings of what the world is like is implemented well into the world. Wild West especially gets the feeling of a wild, unpredictable, cowboy era perfectly, something which falls a little flat down the line in later worlds. Great video, as per usual, unsubbing and resubbing again ❤
Wild West may have good zombies and good(ish) plants, but my favourite thing about it is definitely Not OK Corral, the best minigame in PvZ2 and of all the games in my opinion. The level ideas that can be had from it are amazing and it’s really fun to play. Best of all, it even works really well with the world gimmick, minecarts. What’s not to love?
The now-removed music made Not OK Corral even better.
Cannons away is better.
omg i love not ok corral
I’m personally the opposite for the opinion on Not OK Corral.
It’s personally way too slow for me and I’m already not a huge fan of conveyor levels.
Yeah, It was pretty unique, they should have made a variant of the minigame with plants from EVERY world tbh
Minecarts are so much fun to use especially with pea pod
They kind of fix the PvZ problem of late game not mattering.

Akshually, the Torch Zombie being in Ancient Egypt is CLEARLY a foreshadowing to Modern Day having zombies from other times in the present!
I remember hating Wild West back when I was beating PvZ 2, and I'm still a bit iffy with it. I get the idea of changing the gameplay, and I can see why it can be fun, but I hated this when I was basically new to the game (I played PvZ as a kid before, but I basically never remembered any of it). When Frostbite Caves wasn't a thing, you have so little counter to Prospector Zombie and my braincells and time were used more than what I wanted.
Lightning Reed is the best thing to ever come out in this world. The absolute goat
What if the ancient Egypt in game is actually set at the time when archaeology of egypt started to trend around the late 1800s. It would explain the torch zombies who are uncovering tombs and it would also explain why the area is a bit ruiny, like the cracked open area behind the lawnmowers
Ancient Egypt lasted over 3,000 years so there would still be mummies and sarcophagi in both an actual ancient Egyptian period and a late 1800s period so that part works both ways
Or maybe archaeologists from the late 1800s were time travelled to actual ancient Egypt and just kinda carried on dusting
Lightning Reed is basically a beginner trap. Once you get into the harder worlds, the plant gets very weak compared to other stuff. I personally found Laser Bean stronger albeit you unlock that later. Once you get into JM and beyond, the plants there are quite busted for the most part.
@@cosmicsquid1285 the early Egyptian archeologist Khaemweset was literally the son of Pharaoh Ramesses II. He was an Ancient Egyptian who studied Ancient(er) Egypt. The pyramid of Djoser, which he restored, was about 1400 years old.
Having people exploring Ancient Egyptian ruins in Ancient Egypt is absolutely realistic.
@@felipevasconcelos6736just not in 1800's ish clothing
I've always been a big fan of Wild West, a top 3 world for me. Great design, great theme, great music, diverse range of zombies and the world gimmick is cool. The unlocked plants are also pretty good, one of them not so much but even he shines in this world, and the level design is good for the most part, besides the Don't Lose More Than X Plants objective of course
What I really liked about WW is the second Zomboss battle (Extra levels): You don't get any plant to damage the zombot, you only have spikeweed, electric currant, wall-nut and hypno shroom. The only way to kill the zombot is to hypnotise the zombies (You can transform them into gargantuars as this battle has a lot of plant food), while using minecarts to your advantage. The late game is especially hard, because chickens start to appear in bunches, but it's an interesting WW level overall
Damn you like it that's a hot take if I've ever seen one literally everyone hates it and for good reason it's one of the shittiest designed levels I've ever seen in any pvz game
@@danielfazylov6960 At least it's something different. Most of PVZ2 "original" designs are conehead + specials spam
@@juliennouvot7342 it's different in the worst way possible
@@danielfazylov6960 At least it's not boring nor spammed. Some old premium plant levels are spammed over and over, like the one featuring only snow peas and spikerocks. Though I would admit that this Zomboss battle should feature only plant food-boosted plants, or no chicken wrangler zombies.
@@juliennouvot7342the worst piece of shit lvl bc phase 3 is the worst shit imaginable and the stupid shit where zomboee HAS to go to the middle to die, for me he will not go even when a garg was attacking him in top row and I used my power tap and did no damage, then he rams my defense which killed a chicken wrangler and guess what NO ELECTRIC CURRENTS WHO DONT EVEN KILL THEM SOMETIMES WND NO SPIKEWEEDS SUCH AMAZING LVL DESIGN
I enjoy how genuinely happy you sounded while making this video
In the first version of PvZ2, Poncho Zombies were more interesting, as you could use a coconut cannon to instantly kill them if their poncho was still attached to them regardless of if they had a grate or not. This simple difference gave coconut cannon more utility in Wild West and made the Poncho Zombies a more distinct threat! My theory as to why this was removed was because it was so obscure because it wasn't actively communicated to the player, so it felt more like a hidden exploit.
1:06 me: it’s the bull rider.
Creeps: chicken wrangler.
I can see why you'd think chicken wrangler and jester are similar, but imo they're quite the opposite.
when you see a chicken in the zombie line up you go: which plants do I pick to counter this?
when you see a jester you go: which plants do I NOT pick to not BE countered?
jester limits your strategies, while chicken just adds another layer to them, as you now have to worry about fitting aoe in your strat, if it didn't already have aoe, and managing it to take out the chickens. you can still use single target plants, walls that don't kill chickens, slow attackers and anything else wrangler counters, because as long as you bring something to deal with him, you'll be fine.
inversely, bringing a projectile shooting plant against a jester, even if you already have a counter, is putting you at an inherent disadvantage, because as long as you have one plant that jester can counter, you have one more thing to worry about that destroy your defense.
Creeps 20: NOTHING is worst than Neon mixtape tour.
Also Creeps 20: *plays neon mixtape tour music*
Its got great music not great levels
Now that I see it, I agree. Chicken wrangler having way more chickens than it looks like he has is horrible, truly immersion breaking. And I thought I could trust the game where plants fight zombies across different time periods to pull off realism. Smh my head Popcap, how could you
honestly quite incredible how you made a video about wild west right after you streamed wild west in reprise
I love wild west, partially because of the theme, the zombies, my favourite plant being there, and best of all, THE MUSIC
playing WWX-X altverz with repeater as my main damage dealer and only having unlocked the first three worlds was so much fun
Finally someone talking about how good this world is, it has sum of the best songs as well
Thanks for uploading every weeks, high quality, well edited vids, does make everyone have a good day.
Btw nice video context right after just finishing wild west on a mod
As someone who's pretty bad at the game, I like Wild West
Using the minecarts well is challenging, at least for me
And I did feel like Garlic and Starfruit would thematically fit better than something like Lightning Reed,
But the zombies were quite fun, except for when the chicken wrangler got into an awkward spot again.
18:54 You forgot to mention how Tall-nut gets completely outclassed by Infi-nut's plant food which does everything that Tall-nut does but better.
Never thought I'd see the day... you liking something in pvz2
That intro was the best. Fascinating video as always.
I love how you added a music list in the description. It’s always frustrating when you hear a nice track and can’t find a music list. Your videos are in general always so polished and well structured. Definitely my favourite PvZ content creator on UA-cam. ❤
I like it too. Nothing is so bad about it other than the extra levels and the Chickens
i really like wild west too.
i currently have 437/450 seed packets for lightning reed, not planning to stop anytime soon
I swear I remember watching this a week ago
Wild West is my favourite for having more intense final wave than most worlds, as well as having my favourite plants(Lightning Reed and Chili Bean).
I played PVZ2 when it first came out, just a casual player. But after going through the levels and unlocking Wild West and it was instantaneously my favorite when it was still the last level back then. Everything from the mechanics to the plants(Lightning Reed my beloved) and especially the music still stuck in my head long after I left PVZ2 when seed packets were introduced. I just love it in general and the level that comes to mind when hearing PVZ2 for me.
So much of Wild West feels either easy or slightly hard
I like Wild West more because its enemies feel unique and the whole level theme is movement
My only complaint with wild west is that piano zombies interrupt the music and you barely get to hear it ever...
The society in ancient Egypt actually lasted so long that they had their own archeologists studying the pyramids before we did. The explorer is totally reasonable
Wild west got the best Soundtrack hands down
"Why is an explorer in the same time period as the egyptians whose ruins they explore" I mean, they are all dead, the egyptian zombies could totally still be around by the time explorers start showing up, although I guess that makes the world name a little iffy
This world is super good. I like it even more because of the amazing music
You know I can agree with this philosophy because of the design of wild West yes I used to play this game but the fact that they kinda nailed the wild west right then... Btw my favorite day in wild west is day 8 I think they did that day well made unlike Big wave beach day 16 or even modern day 16 dear god what were they thinking I even had so many resets because my tablet couldn't handle the game and just crashes
Seeing the old map was so weird, i thought i was crazy with how the map changed. Or how cabbage was a tutorial plant. Not seeing it after 10 years feels nice, its the exact way I thought it was.
Fun fact
Ancient egyptians are so old that other ancient egyptians were allready exploring ruins of the even older ancient egyptians
my boy really uploading after streaming. W
the zombies used to have 2 more peas of hp due to the hat but it’s gone now :(
I always loved that poncho could keep a player panicking even if they didn’t have the armor underneath,and mixed with the mine cart gimmick could distract more paranoid ones while ones that DO have the armor get into your main defenses
New Here's Why video 🎉🎉🎉
I haven't watched the video yet, literally 1 second in
It's probably good, can't wait to watch
Simply counter point tho

Please make a video about mods you use and which ones you can recommend the most. I really like your videos.
Currently the split pea is really handy on dealing with pink zombies and then the roller skate zombie after they blast through your plant defense on rainbow mode. Also the electric plant is excellent when you’re trying to arm multiple lanes in a horde.
5:10 Mostly unrelated to the commentary, but I remember when I played Altverz WWX-I, I got stuck there for soooo long for some reason, but the game does literally tell you that you might need future plants for some of the Extra levels, so I went into Far Future, got some plants there, went back, and beat it. Then I got to WWX-II and it was a conveyor level with a plant limit with lots of piano zombies that gives you plants that are almost exclusively only good in bulk, and I tried on and off to beat it, and I’m pretty sure it took me until I got through I think like half of Lost City to beat it. Mind you, this is with me playing the side content as well.
Wild west was very memorable in gimmicks, the only one to rival is neon mixtape tour even then its only the musix
14:47 you can stall hoards this way by swiping it very fast because of the stepping movement system on pvz2. you start the eating animation but once the plant in the minecart moves it stops and restarts the walk cycle so your just stopp the walk cycle before it walks lol.
literally 4 minutes after the stream ended
10:18 Oh no! I didn't even know that Poncho zombies had that. That's just sad.
16:01. The "Wild" is making me question reality. is it wlid, wiid, wlld?
Wild west really doesn't have anything I dont like about it, its plants and zombies are all fun to use and face respectively, none of them are an octo zombie or a ra zombie, they all matter and have unique uses.
And the gimmick is quite interesting, it can be annoying if you don't use it but it is quite fun to make use of when you base a strategy around it.
I dont mind the challenge of the objectives, either since the world as a default is not that hard they aren't as big of a deal as bwb 28
Keep up the good work Creeps.

this video couldve been the ost for ww and i wouldve whole heartedly agreed
Ever considered doing a video on the expansion levels?
Wild west is my second favorite world
After lost city of course
minecarts are so cool, that balls minigame in that one mod uses it!
definitely also has the most fun endless mode
Actually, ancient Egypt has existed for so long, it actually had its own explorers and archaeologists who explored their OWN ancient ruins! Its crazy just how long ancient Egypt has really existed.
The best mechanic in this world is rail tracks it helps you a lot to to put a best plant to defend multiple lanes especially winter melon
Great video! However, I'll voice my opposing opinion on lighting reed
lightning reed can fire between 3 different lanes, and indirectly also the 2 lanes beside those.
this, combined with the low sun cost, allows you to potentially create an armada of intense damage across all lanes. I suspect the reason you don't find it to be as good is because your strategy involves a lot of sun production, which the lightning reed barely makes use of.
Additionally, you place the sun producers ahead of the damage dealing plants. This works great for your strategy of 1-2 lanes of high value plants whilst you reinforce it with tons of sun producers.
Thanks for reading my comment, and I hope you have some sort of response, though I'm not gonna make expectations.
Minecarts is a amazing function in the game. Like building a Rollercoaster with only dirt blocks you got because you don't wanna use any wood. Using the minecart to check out your world while you see yo- shit, wrong game.
I cant be the only to attempt to collect sun during the first few seconds of the video 😭
I personally hated the many colums the cart rails took, tho the freezing mechanic in frostbite caves makes that look like an easy mode.
i think it would be funny to make a video on garlic and the world it's introduced
Just got the idea that all the worlds should have different walk cycles for the zombies (different walk cycles for the different song zombies each)
cool, my favorite world is Far Future.
First of all, I love Wild West theme music.😂
Always wished they did more cross-lane shenanigans in pvz2. It really is a super cool gimmick.
I really hate it because my lawn has to be symmetrical. It’s like an art form for me!
This is so important to me, I will make my lines weaker to keep it aesthetically pleasing
Hope you recover from that disease 😢
inconsistencies with the times zombies come from could be explained that those zombies are actually ones Zomboss brought with him, then dressed up to “fit the theme”
Me too creeps, me too.
