My favorite memory is when they actually had updates and added new characters in GW1 a lot compared to GW2. My other favorite part is the insane amount of friends I made a long the way.
Also, if we are gonna talk about worst memories as well... My worst memory is the fact that BFN exists instead of GW3.
@@MufflesTheGerbil BfN is not bad, if you think about this as singleplayer game, when you want to play multiplayer then its very bad...
@@klulikxd The main thing that made it bad was the terrible Rux Battle Pass progression system that punished players that didn't have time to play the game constantly, all my friends hated the game and didn't play, the game got cancelled in just a few months which was unbelievable and the fact that the game died so quickly especially on PC. Edit: Almost forgot to mention that it was *PAY TO WIN* for the people that spent money on the free Rux Battle Pass system to buy the OP unique special character abilities such as that Scientist Steam Gun.
The only good thing about it was 100% the story mode. I also enjoyed the Garden and Graveyard Ops too. Just disappointed that we have to play 5 rounds instead of 10 though. As soon as you start having fun in round 5 the fun is already over after that.
My favourite memory is getting a legendary character piece on gw2
@@MufflesTheGerbil I agree with your opinion Multiplayer was bad but campain was amazing
It does feel like PVZ as a whole is on the verge of obscurity lately. It does feel like it was going strong under EA with PVZ2 and the Garden Warfare duology, but as time went on, it feels like neither EA or even PopCap have any idea where they would take this series in the future. Honestly, I hope they either bring it back up themselves or just sell the IP to another studio that can handle it with care.
I think they have ideas, like where they were going with project hot tub, unfortunately people at EA make the final decisions which can change things
@@ZEROxFUSIONZ and there's where the franchise began to be neglected, or potentially stomped out.
I mean, pop cap was doing good, but then EA started ruining everything.(as they do with every game)
What did they do? Ads. Premium stuff. currency. Remember pvz 1? It was so good. Chill, no pay 2 win, and even if there was currency, it wasent overpowered or necessary to beat the game. But EA came with pvz2 and if you didint buy stuff with money, it was basically impossible.
@@catfacecat. EA did nothing of that, it was Popcap that though that it was a good idea to monetize the game
I think we need to stop making EVERYTHING a long running series that never stops until the fans abandon it.
One of my favorite memories with PVZ was Garden Warfare 2. I loved the first Garden Warfare game but the second was AMAZING! Me and my friend had so much fun playing spilt screen.
split screen is the best!
This is exactly what me and my brother did all the time, and we are doing it even this day.☺
couldn’t agree more, I really wish we could get a pvz gw3😔
My favourite memory is binge watching Zackscott play through of PvZ GardenWarfare 2
Childhood memory
My favourite memory is definitely trials of gnomes. That was so fun and it's a shame that people can now skip the process entirely
That memory trial made me cry
It was still fun though
@@planti61 I made brothers take photos and read it lol
@@Striker_67 lmao same except my dad took the photos
For 10 dollars
One of my biggest memories of the franchise was playing all of the boss hunts in GW2 and playing on some my favourite maps in the shooters. I play other shooters as well as these. I remember playing the original game on DS about 12 years ago.
I also remember completing the Trials of Gnomus and unlocking Torchwood and Hovergoat for the first time. GW2 was my favourite shooter out of the three. The maps I thought were my favourites were Suburban Flats, Garden Centre and Driftwood Shores.
As long as the servers stay up on GW1 & 2, i’ll always have them to go back to
i can still vividly remember the time that i found you in a lobby of garden warfare 2 in 2016. i can remember going insane and telling my dad that my favourite youtuber was in the same game as me. i really hope that the series comes back in some way and be on par with the garden warfare games in terms of quality.
My favorite memory was when I got gw2 for Christmas in 2017 after watching ZackScottGames play it for a few months and my older brother brought me to my grandma and papas upstairs to show me the Xbox they put in. I miss the good old days of being excited to finally play a video game rather than a big update like a fortnite season
Still remember the day gw1 came out. I played peashooter and all star the entire day. Ice pea was my fav character until I unlocked agent pea
GW2 will always stay in my heart forever. I love playing the game, I've made a lot of friends on there, and it's my favorite PvZ game. It really did make me love the whole franchise and it's such a big shame that EA completely abandoned GW2. All of the devs decided to work on different games so they wouldn't support it anymore. 😢
Got any room for me?
Wdym
I mean that you said gw2 will always be in your heart
Yeah but why did you say you got any room for me tho?
@@Cooper__123 maybe he meant he wants to be in your friend group lol
When I was younger, I used to voice chat randomly online, and for some reason somehow I got the entire zombie team to actually work together and like actually secure an objective by actually using defensive strategies that will probably live down is one of my favorite moments ever because honestly that’s lived in my brain for so long. Now I have been with pvz ever since the first fucking game Jesus and I just hope that the legacy will come back one day.
I'll never forget the passion that went into all the games
Not a moment but Gw2 gave me a group, a group of people I’m willing to trust & have an absolute blast with. I’ve been with them for over 6 years, we’ve had many ups & downs but this game is something incredible we play to this day
One of my favorite memories with Pvz was with Bfn.
It was in a Turf Takeover map. Specifically in Goopy Gully. I was playing as Solider.
At first, the plants were doing way too good. Pushing objective over objective with no issue while killing every zombie in their way. The situation was so bad, I thought we were going to lose.
On the last part, however, I somehow managed to carry the last objective with less than 5% hp left. Part of it was just exploring the map and killing plants, the other half was just camping in a roof.
At the end, we somehow managed to win. And not only I was the only one on podium (for some reason) and not only I won Kill Master, but I also was the best at everything in my team. Assist, revives, kills... everything. And that was when I was around 600 rank.
That battle felt so good, I still have the screenshots of it. And all of it was with a mid-tier character.
I feel you, one time I was playing loggy acres, we were getting dominated by the zombies and then, on the final objective we spawn camped them and I got like 70 kills as peashooter
definitely the friends I made along the way as well as the shooter games. the shooter pvz games I love almost unconditionally, everything about these games I love. Which is why it kind of hurts seeing how the games are not alive anymore.
My favorite moment was when I was playing gw1. I don't remember how, but I did the switch team glitch as a marine biologist. I remember there was this specific peashooter that would run to me when they needed healing. He messaged me asking how I did the glitch and I said I had no idea lol. If I recall correctly, I died as a plant, then I swapped teams, but my dead body was still there, so when I got revived, I was the character that I was about to select in the character menu, which was a zombie.
GW1 had the weirdest and best glitches lol
My favorite memory about PVZ is when I played GW1 for 9 hours straight trying to unlock all the plants and zombies.
My favorite memory was finally getting disco chomper. My stupid ass starting singing along with the music.
I just remember being a kid and finding the game and just falling in love with it, it was amazing.
I still remember getting introduced to PvZGW1 through a UA-cam ad before physics class. After that I wanted until the game came out on Ps3 and the rest is history.
My favorite memory was when I meet somebody in a team vanquish map in the time park and then I meet my Best friend on Xbox. This happens in the second year of the game and then the friendship has still lasted till now.
Man I "randomally" came to this comment section
Not a good year for us PVZ fans. Truly some sad and disappointing times.
i broke my leg and my dad was feeling sorry for me so he took me to buy myself a game. When I saw PvZGW2 on shell my jaw dropped to the floor since i didnt know there will be sequel and i bought it emediately. I played it a bunch and unlocked everything and that has to be my happiest childhood memory
I adore every inch of plants vs zombies (besides that atrocity from 2019) the first game was a unique gameplay concept and has enjoyable and replay able gameplay and also has mountains of charm. The second PVZ perfectly expands on the formula introducing hundreds of new plants and zombies. Garden warfare was a great first attempt at shooter games to only be perfected in garden warfare 2. Which is genuinely my favorite game of all time. It was my entire childhood, and to this day, with all it’s current issues, I still absolutely freaking adore this game from gameplay, to replay ability, to charm. Then IT came out. I hate BFN with the power of seven trillion star explosions, it is an embarrassment and forever left a scrap in this franchise which hasn’t peeped for the past almost 4 years. Besides those crappy gardenscape rip offs they made and tried to market it as a PVZ 3 I just want them to freaking listen to us. They need to put a Band aid on the scrap not pouring salt into it like they’ve been doing since BFN. I love this franchise, I always will, but I really am losing faith in it 😢
I’ve always loved playing new characters whenever I started and seeing all of the secrets in these games. It was such a joy just to explore and fight different characters. It was like a big adventure.
My favortie memory is waking up on the weekend in elementary school and immediately play GW1
Pvz garden warfare 2 was probably my favorite game I’ve ever played, I pre ordered and I’ll never forget the day I first started playing
Mines gotta be the day I watched the BFN trailer and it said available now. Bro, I was SO excited. I downloaded it day one and played for months watching u and wolfy, Good times
My favorite was the journey of me and my friends throughout our journeys playing GW1 and GW2 everything was fun of me and my friends having fun
my personal favourite memory was playing pvz: GW1 with my old friend in co op mode for HOURS in offline mode
My favourite memory is definitely my first time playing gw2 I was so overwhelmed at how much of an improvement the game was to the previous one…
However I’ve had a question in the back of my mind… let’s say hypothetically that PvZ 3 fails yet again… do you think they’ll get desperate enough to make another shooter? Now my answer is that it’s more likely then you think, yeah they aren’t working on anything but they have been only producing flops recently surely if the Td side of PvZ doesn’t work out then maybe they’ll give the shooters one last chance
I feel like the best option for EA is to continue BFN. They had a lot of plans before cancellation, and If they worked on another garden warfare it wouldn’t do any good. People would be happy, but there isn’t much to add. garden warfare 2 really finished the warfare series. BFN is really adaptable, without character classes and having similar playstyles to other games like overwatch, but more unique. I hope EA makes the right decision, or else I can’t wait to see EA fail as a company for how dastardly greedy they are.
My favourite memory is getting 225 damage with future cactus by headshotting the opponent with a max charge across the entire backyard battleground
And Garden Warfare 2 is my favourite game to ever exist
The franchise has given me so many wonderful memories that would take forever to write down. But if I had to choose it would be back when my best friend and I would team up in GW1 and mess with enemy players in Gardens and Graveyards. Dressing up the exact same and "trolling" others with taunts will always bring a smile to my face. Even if another shooter never comes, I'll always be grateful for the fun that both Garden Warfare games brought to me!
My favorite memory was when I first found PvZ 0g in 2015 and played it. It felt so nice to play a game so simple yet one that fully delivers. Then later I discovered PvZ 2 and played it and had a lot of fun times as well. However, it has been a very long time since another PvZ game on mobile has come, out so I am a bit worried for Pop Cap’s future. Im still waiting for another PvZ mobile and console game. I hope one day the games will regain attention and Pop Cap and EA will come out with some amazing games and merchandise in the future!
I miss playing these games on my Xbox. Some of my favorite gaming memories are playing this game with my kids. I played by myself, too, and loved opening all the areas and items and collecting the skins. Neighborville was disappointing and I got bored with it, though. It’s sad to think it’ll be gone
Their are 2 developers now working/fixing problems with GW2 such as the no saved data problem that happened yesterday and the no servers were up to date their is another worker but is an AI called steve
One of my biggest nightmares is what if one day Pop cap goes bankrupt they have to unplug the servers and we can no longer play our favorite games. PvZ as a hole will allays have a special place in my heart. My favorite memories when GW2 was and Trials of Gnomes announced.
New fear unlocked
It's so .... unfair that BFN's plug got pulled so quickly. It had many major issues but so many genuinely got fixed and I really love that game and now the entire team is shut down, probably to never return.
If only Bfn had better advertising. If only the community gave it a chance. Many things got wasted.
@@Otherface exactly
BFN was a complete disaster when it first came out. It was such a huge step down from GW2 which drove many people away, never to return. I was so excited when first bought it, and it only took a few hours for me to throw it in the dust bin.
@BC12 but here is the thing: it improved. And a lot. Yet people ignored it and pretend that it was still a horrible game (heck, there are still people who say its p2w for some reason)
It also improved from gw2 in many ways, yet people only focus on the negative parts (and when I say "negative parts", I only mean variants. Which wasn't that good in gw2 to begin with)
@@Otherface EXACTLY !!! (except for varients in gw2 they still slapped.......)
I remember in GW1, before the chemist was nerfed, everyone unlocked him at about the same time. So there were just zombie teams full of chemists warping as a hoard whenever they saw a plant. Then he got nerfed a week later
God, PVZ holds so many fond memories for me. When I was younger, the franchise had a hold on me and I’m not really sure why it was PVZ of all things (for context: I was THE generic little girl who liked pink and princesses and pretty things, you get the deal. I’m not sure what about PVZ appealed to me so much but I’m glad I had an interest in it). I particularly remember when GW2 came out, and I was so excited - I couldn’t even get the game at the time, but I was just excited for more PVZ content. I also remember falling in love with rose (I thought she was really cool and pretty and awesome… ). In 2023, I finally bought the game… Like 7 years after its release haha. Even if the servers are always broken for me, I’m just glad to finally have something I remember wanting so badly as a kid. Also PVZ games are just really good!
Same here I remember watching YTs and such play the game, but I couldn't get it myself. Finally got it this year though, and its been fun. Honestly it feels decently different when you're actually playing it, in the action and in the moment, than just watching YT videos about it.
One of my favorite memories in pvz was playing garden ops in the first garden warfare constantly playing ice pea
i really miss the old time when you would get so exited to unlock new characters, but now you are exited if you can even loads into a full lobby ):
Best choice: Making PvZ GW1 and 2
Worst choice: Making PvZ BFN and didn’t continue with GW3
Me entire Playstation friend group came from me meeting them on gw1 and gw2 and even years later we still talk and hang out all the time because of our undying love for the franchise, let's hope this isn't it and the series continues
My fave memory was sneaking in like third or second grade at midnight with my brother on the PS3 and playing PVZ GW1 and just hanging out and playing. Sure we got caught some but we also didn’t get caught sometimes too. My brother always was pea shooter or foot soldier. And we would open charter packs and change turns and whoever we got was our character and we did not share characters 😂
i remember playing garden ops with my dad on gw1... so fun
My favourite memory was playing this game every night with my mate grinding to get all the legendary characters doing all the community challenges and both getting the torchwood and goat
As well as finding you in a team vanquish match on GW2 and you kept shredding me with all your maxed characters, never felt so happy getting killed, I actually tool a screenshot and sent it to my mate and he was well jealous🤣
Ahhh nostalgia feeling is the best....
I have many good memories with pvz. One of them is when my aunt showed me the first game when I was like 3 or 4 years old or maybe when I got my first phone and played pvz 2 for the first time. I played it every night and it was a really good experience. But I can't pick just one moment so I would say my favorite memory is discovering more and more about the franchise. I live in a classic ,,eastern world" family which means we're not poor, but just don't have enough money to buy consoles and games for them. So I could only play free mobile games and all games would become boring after some time so pvz was really all I had. Pvz 1 and 2 were the whole franchise to me. But then I discovered pvz heroes. I watched many pvz 2 hacking videos and some of them had music from the shooters playing in the backround but I thought they were fanmade and then I discovered the shooters and I was like,,the music from those videos is official?" And I kept discovering more for example I didn't even know BFN existed until like 2021. Then I discovered chinese games and everything about them. But all I had of shooters is my imagination of me playing them and still is but I promised myself that I'll play all the shooters one day. My biggest wish is to go back in time when I didn't know this much about pvz so I could discover all these things again and live through this beautiful memory once again.
Omg, I just thought about my memories with GW2 and I’m sobbing rn. This game is incredible and it has my whole childhood. I dont want people to forget about it. I want GW3 😢
What a throwback seeing us on Garden Ops 😄
Maybe we should play it again? 👀
My first time seeing puffshrooms sleeping animation. It was adorable to 6 year old me!
I don't have any hope for a new shooter, but there is a chance that another company buys the garden warfare ip and start to work on it but that is unbelievably unlikely
One of my favorite memories of PVZ is that the original game opened and played with it was easy to understand but so fun I found this game on my own I loved it
My favorite memory was when I opened the big door to do the trials and I had so much fun doing them
My favorite memory was doing glitches in the backyard with friends
Rest in Pepperoni PvZ Shooters
I apologize for my poor knowledge of English, I use a translator.
In 2020, I was playing with my friend in GW2, and in the match table we saw a wonderful player, it was a Russian girl (we are also from Russia, it was amazing for us to meet a girl playing in GW2 also from Russia). We met, became friends with each other and played, later our company expanded, and we played gw2 with a large crowd (although the game itself did not allow the whole company to play). But at an unpleasant moment, a thing happened that turned everything around - our friend ran out of PS plus (it happened in early September). She didn't write to us until January 2022. This had a very strong effect on the general spirit of our company, and we had fun throwing gw2, playing other games. However, we are all together now, and I am grateful to GW2 for meeting such wonderful people. Unfortunately, we all ran out of PS plus, and because of the sanctions imposed on our country, we can't play together again. But we don't give up! We started playing free games on PS, as well as Roblox and online games on phones, communicating with each other.
Hows it going?
One of my favorite memories was finding out that garden warfare 2 had multiplayer
Imagine tomorrow popcap would announce GW3 which would be a bigger game than GW2!
i remember being terrified of the zombies in PVZ1 when i was young needing the help of my father to finish levels
Gotta be the feeling of maxing every character and unlocking everything in gw before gw2 then doing the same in gw2
My favorite memory of plants vs zombies was either:
1. When I was little and first played through the original Plants Vs Zombies, the night levels scared me too much so I had to get my dad to beat them
Or
2. Playing Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 with my friends in middle school
The scariest level for me was the fog level
The last day of fog was a nightmare
My favorite memory of PVZ comes when I was very little and after I got into the game after watching my dad play it he let me play it. I got addicted and my favorite moment was being stuck on level 5-7 I think. The one where they introduce the Gargantuar right? So anyways I got stuck on this level and has my older sister for guidance on how to beat it. She didn't play PVZ so she had no idea but it caused her to have a nightmare cuz she was scared of the gargantuar lol
My favorite memory is messing around with my friends playing the games and watching people play the game like I watched you play and it is sad to see how much potential the 3rd person shooter had if they made a new one if they do probably a lot of people will come back
My favorite memory is when I first tried out PVZ GW2.
My favorite memory is watching zackscottgames for the first time. He is the one who got me into plants vs zombies and made it my favorite game franchise ever. Plus English is my second language and I'm pretty sure it if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't understand English as well as I do now. It was always fun to watch his garden warfare 1 and 2 videos.
I always liked how silly the series was and how the series poked fun at pop culture.
pvz was one of my favorite games forever and it everything shutting down really hurt
Garden Warfare was my first ever video game I played. I checked just after this video and I have 56 days worth of game time
All we need to save these games is for some big shot streamers to start playing the game weekly. Watch how the community and player base will grow after that. And what’s important is that they play a balanced mix of the first and second game, both are roughly £5 directly from EA now anyway so it would take off pretty quickly. A massive bump in interest may also help with development of new games and incite EA into properly supporting these servers
I can only hope for a revival… however I can accept that the franchise may be done for good.
I don't think I have a favorite PVZ memory. It's such a massive part of my life. AND WHY WAS THAT PVZ GAME CANCELLED? IT LOOKS PHENOMENAL
Garden Warfare 1 will always have a special place in my heart. Maybe one day they’ll release a third game that is more similar to the first and second game rather than battle for neighborville.
My favorite moment from the PVZ franchise is playing GW2 and by chance being in the same lobby as a PVZ streamer I watched at the time and being able to interact with her and be in one of her streams
It was my birthday and garden warfare 1 had just came out, I was playing the mine map, as an engineer
My fav memory is probably when I used to 1v1 my bro on the ps4 in pvzgw2 or when we camped at the plant base with footsoldiers on the roof and destroy the bossed
I have JUST bought PVZ GW2 for the PC, and I'm wondering if it was worth it... I already bought it, so I'm going to play it, but I hope the servers aren't permanently ruined...
Any moment in the PvZ shooters is a happy, memorable moment of my PvZ career
Pvz in general it pretty much my childhood zach scott games and this channel pretty much fuel an era of my life hands down gw 1 was the best
My favorite memories was always with PVZ GW2. Here now an then I would play with my dad it was so much fun when he could play. And when I got Battle for Neighborville I played a bit then my dad joined in but it wasn't the same. The only words that I can say for EA is Battle for Neighborville is the shitest game ever and I'd rather play PVZ heroes.
Gw1 was the first game other than minecraft when I got my first computer. Loved playing as the Sunflower and trying to rack up as many kills a Sunflower was capable of doing. During my childhood I was so obsessed with the game to the point where in school when we were given a project to make a small town I based it off of the Driftwood Shores map. As a kid I thought gw1 couldn’t get any better until gw2 was announced and it blew my mind back then with content such as backyard battleground, plants on the offense, graveyard ops, flag of power, and campaign. The Garden Warfare series really sparked my imagination during my childhood and beyond. To this day whenever I do anything such as growing houseplants or going out for a walk at a park it all reminds me of PvZ. I love this game and I hope that one day PvZ may return and make other people’s childhoods amazing. If any Popcap member somehow reads this, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for making a game and franchise so good that a kid can fall in love with it and later on in life proudly say “This is my childhood.”
I have so many good memories of playing Garden Warfare 2 with my friends. I dont understand why they don’t try and make a true successor to PVZGW2. They should try and keep everything very similar and then just add onto it. I feel like they would make an insane amount of money if they just made PVZGW3. Plus they have 2 games of what to do, and another on what not to do.
You Should Play Some of the Fan PVZ Games.
If EA wasn't EA, it would let its game grow as long as there is income from it. Maybe if Garden Warfare had been updated, gw2 wouldn't exist and we would enjoy new content every few months?
My favorite part was the friends i made in this game
Honestly I'll probably support pvz3 when it releases whether its good or not because if that game fails then that would certainly be the last nail in the coffin for pvz
I don't think I have a single favorite memory... and by that, I mean that there isn't a specific one. The best memories on the other hand would have to be me playing gw1 back before gw2 dropped and before I knew how to play.
dude we barely have any Pvz content at this point and in this rate if popcap and ea do something about this problem and the lack of Pvz content thing might have come out a different way I’m just saying about it ok and one more thing before I go the truth problem about Pvz is that there is barely any Content and the quality oh, boy, the quality of that content.
To be honest my favorite Memories is form GW2 I got my Wife to play it a few months ago and now we can't stop playing it and I love it this game PVZ it self is a game I played as a kid I loved it ever since and now I get to share that in a way with the love of my life and that to me is the best thing in the world
Playing with some people I never met in irl on PS4 I specifically remember jumping on town hall with super brainz I still have the photo in a message
PvZ series is my Childhood since I discovered it and played it back on when the DS was a thing.
And then got an IPad and played PvZ2.
And then later on got PvZGW back on the ps3.
And later on gotten PvZGW2 on the PS4.
I have BFN. But gotten bored. And I wanted PvZGW3 in the future. Seriously I am dying for that game to be released in the future. And I’m upset that we didn’t get PvZGW3 somewhere this year. And I’m angry about it.
PVZ battle for neighborville was my kids first and favorite game. Man I wish someone would create another one.
My favorite pvz memory was Garden Warfare 1.
I was playing with 2 other friends in gnome bomb in like late 2014 or something.
All 3 of us were playing Marine Biologist and were all top of the board. At the very end when it zooms in on the last gnome exploding all 3 of us were lined up against the exploding garden right next to eachother staring at the screen like it was from a movie. Probably one of the coolest things that happened to me while playing.
My favourite memory was in 2019 I was on gnome bomb in gw2 and met someone who I am still good friends with to this day but we don't play gw2 much anymore
The spooky squash boss hunt, I Rember chilling and eating candy while trying to figure out how to beat him
Honestly my favorite pvz memory is just watching your videos years ago and trying to get the characters that youd rank number 1 in your videos
My favorite memory is when I met this guy where he would play is oak and we would do like hide and seek and eat and he would always get himself stuck in a tree by accident and I loved it if you’re reading this and you know who you are reply to this comment because we should play this game again it’s a good game
