I Don't Like Modern PVZ2 Bringing Back PVZ1 Plants.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 жов 2023
- Modern PVZ2 is truly something special. It's an enigma in the gaming world, for real. Like, this game could have (and possibly should have) died years ago, but it's still hanging on by a thread to this day. And while that's normally commendable, I feel like that's lead to some... poor decisions being made in recent years to keep the game afloat. And the nostalgia pandering is, in my opinion, the worst of it.

the only good returning plant ever is pumpkin :heckyea:
what about sunflower 🙏
True
Mega gatling pea????
@@Justcommentinhereway to op please nerf
and yet its design is cheap and sucks
My main concern is that when they start running low on plants, they’re going to have to add * gulp * coffee bean back.
I thought the mushroom plants no longer sleep during the day, unlike in PvZ 1.
@@leiwang9087 That’s why I’m concerned
Coffee Bean is already in the Chinese Version to help counter Archmage Zombie that put plants to sleep in the Dark Ages also gives plants a small minor damage boost
--Coffee Vine--
They could make Coffee Bean energize the plants (ex. the Chocolate from the first game) for a while and make his sun cost 50
If he was added when Dark Ages was released I'd like the mushroom plants to be half awake in the day because of their tiredness and afterwards fall asleep
scaredy shroom literally came from looking like a taller puff shroom to a goddamn emo shroom or smth
All of the newer plants look more “animated,” and yet their animation is leagues worse than the standard ones. Great job, PopCap!
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiastthats my problem with the new palnta: that noghtcap for a example: it looks like the animation is identicao to the trumpet meme
THATS WHAT IM SAYING. I really don’t know why they decided to give him a new major design when his original design from the first game was literally perfect. The eyes, the mouth, and the stem literally didn’t have to be changed but for some reason they decided to make look tired/really freaking high. I’m sorry for ranting.. I just really dislike the design they gave him…
Reminds me of luigi from those flash animations for some reason
he actually had a old scrapped design that looked much better than the current one where he was basically a better drawn version of his pvz1 design
For the Scaredy Shroom removal, one of the main reason why of this decision along a lot of shroom that as well got removed on DA was because a lot of Popcap Developers left PvZ2 during Dark Ages development. Thats also the reason for being the shortest world.
Yeah, with that context it does make a lot more sense. Though I also feel like even back then, PopCap probably realized that Scaredy would have been a better Peashooter if he worked the same way that he did in PVZ1
@@SylviaYSI That's... not exactly a high bar.
@@TherevengeforgetI mean, if you take plant levels into account Peashooter kinda skyrockets in usefulness. Well, although at a pretty steady pace.
Peashooter, along with the other plants you get in the tutorial, cost much less seed packets to level up. After playing for just a week and only doing pinata parties for ancient egypt, my Pea was already dealing more damage than Repeater for only 75 sun. Granted, Repeater now also deals more damage at the cost of 175, but it still makes the early game a breeze. Truly fitting of its role, ol' reliable.
@@Duppling Leveling makes every plant reliable, that's not an excuse.
@@Therevengeforget ... Except every other plant besides the tutorial ones take MUCH longer to level up compared to pea. I actually decided to replay the game again and I got pea to level 5 in just 2 days.
2 days!
Pea packets are extremely easy to come across compared to all other plants.
Good luck doing that with literally anything else.
Tbh I think that mega g. Pea was best of these. He has cool new design, is slightly reworked, and still usefull.
Fair enough, honestly. And I’ll say this much about this one at least: the anims are good
@@SylviaYSI Yeah. I also think that mega and levitator were final plants of original devs because designs still look somewhat pvz2, animations are good, and they are far more unique...
@@SylviaYSIThat's because they're just reused!
@@boilingtonlevitater is fully original, so it can't be reused. But for M Gatling... fair
@@thepizzaman6310 I never said anything about Levitater!
Trust me, you’re not the only one. It’s obvious that they’re only doing it as nostalgia bait, and they’re pretty open about it lol. I’m pretty sure they’ve had bundles offering MGP, Scaredy Shroom, and I forget what else, and labeled it as a “Nostalgia Bundle.”
They really should have pulled the plug on PvZ2 a long time ago, because this is starting to get even more sad than it was before.
Nah i don’t think they should’ve pulled it, because we wouldn’t have ANY new content being made in any popcap game then. I’m glad they’re atleast keeping it alive after so long. In recent updates it seems they’re trying a lot harder and are doing the best they can, I can only hope that they’ll once get back to the production quality they had years ago when they were way bigger. Right now is just a low point for popcap.
@@Azurethewolf168 I mean, even with the “trying harder,” with each update, the game loses quality. What I should have clarified is that they should cut content updates in PvZ2 so they can focus more on PvZ3 and get it out. At least there they have an excuse for the different artstyle.
The third plant in the bundle was torchwood
@@nerotoni3253 Alright, thanks.
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast how are they losing quality? Just last update they added a bunch of new things.
About Sea Shroom. I’m 99.9% sure that it’s canceled. I think the devs realized it would be absolutely useless and no one would care for it in any way. There hasn’t been any work done for Sea-Shroom sense it’s design got leaked… so yeah it’s definitely scrapped at this point. (Also before anyone mentions Nightcap being leaked long before she got added. Just note that Nightcap actively got changed and worked on in each patch, while Sea Shroom isn’t even a plant in the files, it’s only a Seed Packet image.)
I hope that’s the case, because frankly it doesn’t need to exist 😭
there's actually a grid item called "puddles" and "potholes" in the works and they're basically big wave beach water but only on one tile. this is 99.9% being done for sea shroom so he can be usable in arena and other stuff
The fact they’d need to go that far just to make sea shroom usable speaks nukes
theres 2 problems with this as 1: Nightcap took an insanely long time, and look in the upcoming content in the wiki theres Puddles
@@drago252 for the first one you mentioned. thing is. Nightcap is a very complex plant with multiple entirely brand new abilities they had to program. Sea Shroom is literally just Puff Shroom but water. Even if they gave it a new ability, I highly doubt it would take this long to make.
As for the puddles and potholes, I have no idea what those are for. but I highly doubt it’s for Sea Shroom. Maybe their an attempt to make Sea Flora not useless in their eyes (which wouldn’t work sense Sea Flora is trash but that’s besides the point) or they might be trying to make more water plants (dear god please no) either way, Sea Shroom probably isn’t happening. It could happen. Wouldn’t put it past modern Popcap. But still, probably ain’t happening.
I'm pretty sure they're significantly reworking Ice-Shroom in PVZ2, so he at least feels more reasonable than something like Scaredy-Shroom. I do agree though, and it's nice to see a video like this that's a reasonable length and not stretched out to 20 minutes for next to no reason.
I Heard he was gonna be a Melee plant/short ranged attacked?
Huh, seems interesting honestly.
@@JoseViktor4099now he has 3x3 aura around him that chills zombies and buffs winter mint plants so he's now a moon flower but for ice plants
Oh look, the guy who petitioned they bring doom shroom back even agrees with this subject. I don’t think that’s good for Popcap
@@rhinowithInternetaccess Seems that I was mistaken. Thanks
@@autismandgaming4532 lol I never formally petitioned, and stopped when he was added as BBF's Plant Food. Plus Heath Seeker pretty much outclasses Doom
They saw the hype mega gatling pea generated and tried to repeat it. The problem is that other plants just don't work in pvz2.
Ice shroom is just ice bloom again
Scaredy shroom is just peashooter again but worse
Sea shroom can only be used in a single world
Mega gatling pea had none of these issues making it's return good
Ice shroom has received a complete buff and 2 new abilities, the guy who runs this youtube channel has done 0 research and basing everything he's read on how bad scaredy shroom is, which is the only thing he's right on. And Sea Shroom has received a grid item which can partner and be used along with him.
@@terry3467but probably sea-shroom still have the puff-shroom ability and only plantable on water
So… Scaredy Shroom is basically the same.
@@stinkyramirez Aqua Vine will cover that issue.
Yeah , Sea Shroom needs another plant to work without puddles
Well, the main reason why we got more PvZ1 returners is because as you said, PvZ2 is a decade old by now so they might be doing this to celebrate, the problem is the choice, they brought back Gatling Pea last year and then they went to the COMPLETE opposite of the scale and brought back Scaredy Shroom, made a design for Sea Shroom, and making a VASTLY reworked Ice Shroom for the next update, Doom Shroom would have been a better choice because we need SOME counter to the bullshit zombie spam of the later worlds, Gloom Shroom would have made a better choice and has actually been made into one of the best custom plants in recent time, the fucking UMBRELLA LEAF would have been a better choice when you take into consideration all of the zombies and projectiles that fall from above, it’s almost like Umbrella Leaf was MEANT for PvZ2 for god's sakes!
hello there
I completely agree with all that, and they could add gold magnet, but change him that he could could collect sun instantly when sun comes. Though it wouldn’t exactly make it a GOLD magnet.
there is actually a concept idea for Gold Magnet in PvZ2 on scratch of all things and for the most part, it's rather solid
That's more of a cameo, and even then, it isn't the real Doom Shroom
What MUST come back in the game is survival endless
They made vasebreaker but no longer updated it, despite some POTW levels in pennys pursuit being vasebreaker levels
Or I zombie but they will never add those
What I know for the upcoming returning Ice Shroom is that they will rework him to have new purposes since 2 plants already had his ablility from pvz 1
Leakers revealed ice shrooms rework
Spoilers
Ice shroom will be a melee plant
new ice shroom is gonna be the winter mint familys version of moonflower, without sun production. it will also have a melee smash atk and his plant food will lob icicles, presumably at every zombie, causing freeze and/or chill
They gonna add umbrella leaf any second now
Scratch that they gonna add flower pot any second now
umbrella leaf could be good to finally counter octo zombies, garguantuars throwing imps, jesters and more so i definitely think they could rework it to be a cool plant
flower pot could allow potato mines to be planted on lily pads! not much, but it's something!
@@goober4347a potato mine in top of a flower pot while also in top of a lily pad just sounds useless
I agree with your video 100% but some of the returning plants personally I don't have a problem with them like the gatling pea and cattail for example and some of them might get a buff or a different power like ice shroom being a moon flower for ice plants but my problem is how they are introduced as a premium plant that make them less useful overful and also the animation and style is going low quality in the recents which will make the returning plants overall fell worse if those new plants/returnig plants have a purpose in a new world designed for them with better visual and animation I think the community will happily accept them (like the umbrella leaf defend from multiple obstacles and zombies in that world it was designed for) but for now It's totally annoying how they use nostalagia bait for money and we all agree if gold magnet makes a return in pvz2 we would literally lose our minds 🤣
Cat tail on land in pvz 2 (and possible to f2p to get) is all i want (also not trash)
They may be pointless in PvZ2 but as someone who played the first PvZ, I think it’s really cool to see every plant from the previous game come back for nostalgic reasons.
I just wished they looked more like their original artwork than the new redesigns that look ugly
i think that if they chose other plants it could have been cooler
@@JPOG7TVdevs put literal few effort to improve artwork, just look how bad animation of recent plants, only milking player out.
@@dampongtrungmuoi507 Pretty sure that's because after modern day, the original art team was laid off and the artwork was done not by popcap or EA, but overseas/freelancer people doing it for money.
This info could be found in the downfall of PvZ video
i like having some of the old stuff come back but i’m not just gonna pay for a overpriced nostalgia pandering plants who are better than most plants
Seeing the talk in the comments on Ice Shroom changing, if I were to change Scaredy Shroom, I would utilize some of the popular ideas in changing him such as higher hiding defense and shooting way faster when zombies are closer. One change of my own would be that when a zombie bites into him even once, they get poisoned. I mean, look at him. He's a flipping mushroom, and mushrooms are usually known to be toxic.
An idea i'd like is giving scardy shroom an mid-evil sheild when he uses the plant food. It sticks around and it gives scardy shroom the hp of that of an wallnut with the sheild
They should literally make a new world that is like a dark and water theme and put those premium plants into free plants
ScaredyShroom from my knowledge wasn't cut because he didn't fit the first time, it's because the team was too small to fill their full vision with dark ages.
I still Like the ice shrooms ability since he has COMPLETELY differing mechanics
I've noticed that these are all the mushrooms, mainly. This is because, with the 50 sun, the ability to do stuff for cheap is less in demand
While Scaredy Shroom had a small niche in PvZ1 because the zombies were less adapt at breaking into the back line,
Even in PvZ1 it's purpose was questionable.
@@BramLastnamei think scaredy-shroom were made more for people completing adventure 1 of night and fog instead of people who is just collecting all badges. I mean thats how I use them
@@Definitely_A_Fleshy_Human the thing is that Puff shroom is too good in pvz1 for scaredy shroom to have a major impact.
Sure they're an upgrade and they do have a legitimate niche,
But the game doesn't really encourage you to use it.
@@BramLastname in pvz1 it was (kinda) a better peashooter at night,but a worse peashooter at day,it was similar to a peashooter but it got handicapped by the hiding when there is any zombie in a 3x3 radius
But puff shroom is straight up op in night so...
@@Damian-cilr2 In PvZ 1 it is usable despite being so severely flawed,
As such while it is by no means OP or even one of the best options,
It has a legitimate place in the game,
It just has competition that's arguably better.
In PvZ2 they made an entire event to show off the plant,
And it was bad even in the levels tailor made for it.
The only good thing about it is that it's significantly cheaper than peashooter,
Which is a trait only useful in dark ages endless mode,
Which also has Jester, the one zombie scaredy shroom is most useless against.
They added Sea shroom and made him an absolute grind to unlock. Just make him a world plant in big wave beach ffs 💀
Honestly, I don't care that much about what they add, I just want it to be a little more polished.
Pvz 2 is an old game I just want popcap to fix all major bugs, like music not playing, before the game is not supported anymore.
That should be their priority right now, it’s frustrating how there’s still all these bugs, and yet they’re still adding Plants that we don’t need right now 😭
PopCap is going to Disney route. Nostalgic bait.
It's so true it hurts.
The unique good plants that came back are on China, Cattail, Cob Cannon, Gatling Pea, Pumpkin, these ones are the best
Personally, I think having the old plants return is just fun because of the principal of it. It’s been years and it makes sense for them to debut again. And also, we’re going to get more and more new plants anyways, why not have it just be the old ones?
Ice shroom has a pretty funny alamanc entry
Bring back coffee bean and make all night plants not work in the day :trollface:
gonna be 100% here. I agree, when i was younger i was disappointed that some of the PVZ1 plants were cut and was so jealous of 2C for having Cattail and OG Gatling Pea
now i understand why they weren't brought back
2:56 i think it would’ve helped to mention that he’s a melee attacker with a 3x3 chill radius instead of an instant as a result of ice bloom existing and his ability to boost surrounding winter mint plants
If any of the PvZ games doesn't exist except for PvZ and PvZ:GW, the world would be a much better place.
4:42 this part aged like fine wine
3:49 and this did not age like fine wine
They turned my boi Doom Shroom into a… a pebble. I can’t really put into words how they butchered him so, only that they have.
Much like you’ve said, most pvz 1 plants that were left out post modern day don’t have a use.
The only legacy plants I see functioning as they were in the original and still be useful are Pumpkin, Cob Cannon, and maybe Gatling Pea (and 2 of those 3 arlready exist). Other ones are outclassed by other similar plants (scaredy shroom, doom shroom, ice shroom, etc). Some would literally have no use (coffee bean, Plantern, flower pot) unless new world gimmicks were added.
Now, I could see some legacy plants being added with a new use. Perhaps coffee bean is used to give plants a buff, or gold magnet being used to automatically grab sun (more useful for pc players), maybe even give plantern an aoe healing effect. However, at that point you might as well just develop a new plant. Popcap has got to do better than simple nostalgia bait.
You can make a hillbilly explode-o-nut with pumpkin and potato mine
Cob Cannon already has a PvZ2 equivalent: Banana Launcher. It's not as strong, mostly because it's been rebalanced.
The fact that doom shroom is actually gonna be returning soon 💀💀💀
The leaks say that Ice Shroom will be a strong melee plant that boosts nearby chilling plants. That just makes his appearance even more pointless. If it's entirely different plant, then why is it ice Shroom?
FOR REAL
Because they have to nostalgia bait people some how
it's literally the gw ice shroom now
"He has ZERO PURPOSE." "He should SHOVEL HIMSELF UP NOW!"
I guess you can see the differences of plants before the power mints/arena came out and after power mints/arena.
The only exception to this probably would be pumpkin. Personally, I love PvZ2 because updates and new plants are still ongoing. And in my opinion, I think these plants were made for strategic purposes not meant for the adventure, but for other modes (e.g. penny's pursuit, travel log quests, endless zones, etc) and levels with objectives.
For example, you can use scaredy-shroom, with its 25 sun cost, for objectives that requires not to spend too much sun, or if ail-mint plants are buffed.
But I still get your point. 👍
And that is my opinion at least.
Tbh Doom-Shroom is one of the only plants that DESERVE to come back, like I can imagine it being a blast in arena.
thanks
@@thezombiedestroyer Doom Shroom!1!1!111!11!!1!
@@thezombiedestroyerHi
quite literally a blast indeed
Now that Ice-shroom is back and he has his own gimmick completely he looks cool. (No pun intended)
worst part is, most of the post game plants cost money which im not going to spend
I agree with several points you made, like the high similarity between Gloom-shroom and Phat Beet (and oh hey, Phat Beet does not get hypnotized by the ballad) or how Scaredy wasn't released in Dark Ages. Even if he would have been added at that time, a rework on resistance boost when hiding would not make a big difference, but well, at least, yeah.
About Sea-shroom, his ability is currently unknown. I'd leave it blank, and I think you should.
Though, the rest in the international version, such as Ice-shroom, or (Mega) Gatling Pea.
Did you notice the difference between Gatling Pea from the rest of his elder brothers and sister? He has a random chance to have the plant food effect. I don't know how appealing it sounds to you, but having a little surprise like this is sweet, especially for those who use him with Pea Vine and Torchwood during Arena when the Appease family does not get bruised *cough cough*.
Ice-Shroom, have you checked over the upcoming content page? "Smashes zombies in melee range. Emits a chilling aura that both buffs nearby Winter-mint plants and chills zombies." Have you noticed how he functions differently from Iceberg Lettuce and Ice Bloom?
P/S: Thanks for expressing your opinion. I like hearing it as watching through your video, but one thing, try to have a more balanced view. At least mentioning some efforts the developers make, rather than hiding them.
is it just me or did the animation of the plants get stiffer? the starter plants like peashooter and cabbage pult have smooth animation but now the more recent plants like scaredy-shroom have stiffer animation. kinda weird but ok
You’re not wrong at all. For example the newest plant, Cranjelly has the worst animation in the game (imo) whenever the plant goes into its jelly form, the animation doesn’t even look smooth it just looks… weird and off. Not only that, but when the plant rolls offscreen, these cranjelly blobs just spawn it out of nowhere with even more lazier animations. I don’t know what they were doing when they animating that plants and its gimmicks..
I don't mind old plants coming back if they add new worlds
I just like that I won't have to do the ratio math stuff to find out how many plants are in pvz that aren't in pvz2
I really like how they are bringing back sea shroom because in its old description it said it always wanted to see the sea now it finally can that’s adorable!!
Pvz2 just should've been over at this point. Everything that Popcap has been doing to the game at this point is disgusting. They're literally destroying their own creation and if anything, they're crushing everyone's childhood by butchering these old pvz1 plants. It got to the point where I uninstalled vanilla pvz2 and I never looked back.
Honestly I don’t care, as long as the game keeps kicking I’m fine
The PVZ1 art style are gritty and cool and iconic
4:41 Well.. Just look on the wiki.
4:41 WE WILL MAKE THE DUME STRATEGY GRATE AGAIN for only $4.99
I love scaredy shroom in pvz1 but in pvz2 there is literally no point when other plants are in the game
Me when I see Night Shade: You serve zero purpose! You should shovel yourself now!
At first i really wanted all the classics to return but you made fantastic points but im still somewhat happy they brought most back. But you changed my perspective a lil bit.
1:48, need i say more?
One good thing about bringing back old plants is that now modders can use them easier
Why don't they bring heroes plants into the game? We never saw them in a tower defense game. And plants like pineclone could be very cool additions
Question: will popcap ever come back to working on sequels for games like heavy weapon, iggle pop and feeding frenzy or make a 3d version of those games? (And I mean like have 3d environment and not side scroll with 3d?)
Even though I agree with what you say, Ice Shroom is being completely reworked and and we will get a new mechanic called "puddles" that apparently allow you to plant aquatic plants there.
i honestly just want umbrella leaf cuz of its design, idk why but i find it so cute
It's cool to see more realistic old plants from pvz1 in pvz2
How is scardy-shroom useless? It's basically a cheap version of peashooter for night levels!
Potato mine exist
But it takes so long to recharge and it’s only on one zombie
if they are adding pvz1 plants, they should at least add in cattail
I'm here from the future: Iceshroom is a melee attacker that buffs nearby Wintermint plants in PvZ2.
you forgot its 3x3 slow effect
@@user-xe7ki3bz5n I didn't know about it since I don't actually have Iceshroom and can only use it in Arena
@@HackerDragon9999I just use a cheated version, but yeah it can slow
As soon as they added Dazey Chain I knew they were going rogue
From what I've heard, Ice Shroom is supposed to be a weird mix of his PVZ Shooters Counter Part with explosive bursts of Ice damage in a melee area
They should have just fucking brought back the plants when the first pvz2 update was made
Man pvz1 i miss speedrunning and abusing gloomshroom
one fendamental issue i have with all arguments against PVZ1 plants returning is that they shouldve really been in the game from the start
its like a 2d Mario game launching with only Luigi missing from the roster, and then having someone upset that Luigi is being added in an update, even with any flaws, Luigi by all means *should* be there and so his addition becomes justified
the mega gatling pea is amazing better than the old one in pvz 1 it has more purpose to stay in the game
I just like seeing them come back, not like they *need* to be optimal, I just like ‘em
And btw, as an advice, I wouldn't put PvZ chinese as an example to follow, they put a lot of nostalgia content and made them extremely janky and inconsistent.
Cob Cannon plant requierent was maintained for weird reasons, and the two spaces interactions are very weird.
And let not even mention the OG Zombot, for the sake of god, if you saw it, you might wonder if thats was a 15 years old teen fanmade.
oh boy I can't wait for gold magnet to be added
The fact that bro called ice shroom useless when its a melee plant
I think there might be a new world. That's water based that isn't big bay beach
Gloom vine is basically a gloom shroom that boosts shadow plants
News flash: ice shroom no longer a single use and is a short range melee plant.
I wanna see mods utilize these plants and the PvZ1 zombies. Modern Day in PvZ1 didn’t have enough new zombie variety, so seeing the Zomboni in a mod’e version Modern Day would be cool. Cat Tail in AltverZ and reflourished is really nice! That plant has a purpose I feel like.
maybe they’ll add a reverse version of the Lilly pad (lets you plant water plants on the land) to give a point to water plants outside of BWB
I understand your point of view, but Ice shroom has received a complete change, and sea shroom has a new grid item associated with it, both huge things. I will agree with you on scaredy shroom however.
"And im sure it will be a matter of time before we end up seeing doom-shroom"
Ah yes, time travel at its finest
Popcap makes all these plants while we don't have any other modes besides Adventure, Penny's pursuit and Arena which really get boring and I really wish they have minigames (yes I know Vase breaker and Begouled are in PVZ 2) but other minigames like i Zombie, Slot Machine, and even some of the PVZ 2 minigames that got removed from the adventure mode in the latest version of the game. Not to mention last stand levels and last stand Endless should be in the game as well. The reason PVZ1 was so much fun is because there were many ways play
bro Popcap India be keepin pvz 2 alive
I rarely touch PVZ2 anymore, so even when they add plants from the other PVZ titles in it it doesn't make me want to play it, but I can see it's working on people. It worked on me last year, I dropped an amount I wish not to say to unlock MGP since it's my favorite plant in the PVZEU, but ever since then I've stopped myself from dropping any amount on the game (once you have MGP, Pea Vine, Torchwood, and Appease-Mint anyway you don't need any other plants since those clear the entire game). The only thing Popcap could do to make me want to play the game religiously again is to add more worlds like WW2, Rome, maybe America colonization, and make them extremely difficult to compensate for the new overpowered plants like Pokra and MGP. Until then, Popcap ain't getting a single cent out of me ever again
Ngl I only like them because of the cool redesigns, although they could just do a pvz1 revamp with the art style of pvz2
I think another reason is because PVZ one had 49 plants and it's kind of enjoyable to see all those 50 plants in like another pvz game to be fair PvZ 2 Lily almost has every single one of them so maybe some people are happy so they could complete all 49 of plants from the original game.
My key takeaway is the scardy shroom seems to be pretty relatable
On the bright side at least we can get upgraded styles of all the pvz 1 plants at some point
I really don’t mind them coming back I just like to think that they just haven’t been forgotten
Ice shrooms abilities are completely different, did you not do any research or did you just assume what you think makes sense? Ice Shroom recieved an extremely heavy rework, smashing zombies in melee range, emitting a chilling aura AND boosts winter mint plants. And for sea Shroom, the new grid item known as "puddles" is probably what will come with sea Shroom and make sense if we can plant on it. So please do your research.
yooooo! popcap actually listened. ice shroom actually has more functions now.
I'm honestly suprised that they weren't already in the game given how many plants there are.
4:14 Bungee zombie is NOT boring. Never say that again
I find it somewhat satisfying to see the plants come back, but I also completely understand your perspective.
i would like it if they didnt design it in the worst way possible most redesigns from the oringal game look quite a lot cleaner in pvz2 but that cant be said about the ones their currently putting out LIKE WTF DID THEY DO TO SCAREDY SHROOME
@@Counltdooku Yeah, I totally understand what you mean. While I personally like the way they designed it, I get how it feels a lot like nostalgia baiting.
@@Counltdookuyeah I hate scardey shroom's new design
I've seen a bunch of clips from PvZ3 around, but I can't find where to play it anywhere
It’s not currently playable at all, unfortunately. The last time it was playable was October of 2022
I would have LOVED the recurring characters if they were weren't either microtransactions or poorly designed
Like scary shroom could've been in dark ages and could block jester's thrown projectiles
I don't see why people get annoyed when old plants come back like they have to use them. It's even worse when some people who don't even play the game would complain about it. I don't get the issue tbh, and it ain't going to change anything, so seeing videos like these are more frustrating than understanding.
it feels like this video lacks an actual explanation on why scaredy-shroom has no purpose in pvz2. the given reason for scaredy-shroom seems to simply be the fact that there is no purpose, which doesn't elaborate on anything. or perhaps the exclusion of the plant from dark ages counts as a reason, but there isn't any provable cause for why as far as i know, only rumour.
there is clearer reasoning for why ice-shroom doesn't fit, which is good. especially now with the knowledge that ice-shroom is another cold snapdragon alt to go alongside pokra, it's clear that there is a level of (perhaps unintentional) disrespect for the original plants that are being reintroduced. where cactus feels like a faithful recontextualisation, ice-shroom is an uncanny departure. ignoring the readded balloon popping, the former plant looks like the original and maintains similar spike-firing traits, while the latter plant looks like it came from a completely different game and has completely transformed its main functions.
scaredy-shroom also have issues of alien redesign, but with the opposite mechanical issue: a near complete lack of adaption to the pvz2 environment. the hiding bonus doesn't make the plant any more useful for adventure unless you feed into the leveling system, and even then the benefits are utterly unimpressive by arena standards. it's honestly the type of plant balance that would've been more expected pre-leveling. but with the way that arena plants are visually and mechanically designed, scaredy-shroom feels like the black sheep of this game, not fitting with the other veteran plants nor the arena plants.
i think this is the type of elaboration that was deserved on the topic. might mean making a longer video, but it's more meaningful than simply relying on any existing sentiment over how veteran plants are integrated.
Well, Ice-shroom function will be changed completely, so I'm olay with that. But Pop Cap bringing back Scaredy-shroom........ WHY?!?!
I’m a grape who wants to be added to PvZ 2
Too bad, Popcap turned you into a cheap powerup in PVZ3
The thing about this is that PvZ 2 was long finished, and while I have no problem with the nostalgia plants, the amount of premiums have really just been ridiculous, if they wanted to add more plants, then might as well add more worlds, it will definitely make up for the bonus plants' lack of purpose in the game, by actually integrating them in the game. as simple as that.
