- Plants vs zombies 3 is HORRIBLE
On a warm summer day, in July 2019, EA announced Plants vs. Zombies 3, another free-to-play mobile title in the series. The game soft-launched in February 2020 in the Philippines, Romania, and Ireland. It was then made unavailable in October 2020, becoming unplayable in November 2020 due to changes in development.
The game was soft-launched again on Jan 17, 2024, months ahead of its original worldwide release schedule.
As you can probably tell by the title of the video, this game is absolutely awful. Not only is it a downgrade to PVZ2, but a total disappointment
and lackluster attempt by Popcap and EA to strech out boring mediocre gameplay through in game grinds that not only are completely intangible and
unmotivated but also seemingly endless as the progression in the story is utterly miniscule.

It is sad to see a game that used to be one of the best games with unique mechanics and gameplay , is trying to copy paste other popular games , feels like the game just lost its identity😢
but hey, it makes money
that's all that matters, right? /s
Entirely EA’s falt
@@user-uh4jr4eo5n no: both EA and PopCap are to blame
And best post credits somg
@@ShinyTillDawn wdym popcap?
Crazy Dave is not the protagonist, the player is. All of PvZ1 doesn't take place on his backyard but yours. Crazy Dave is your neighbor.
Lol I didn't know
Yeah, crazy Dave is the one who sells you stuff and new plants
Yeah lmao
🤓
true cuz when you die, its states "the zombie at your brain".
The lore is literally:
Dave's mower turns purple and kills all the children
hor hor hor hor hor
This turned real dark real quick, but i dont care about lore.
Just like fnaf?
the mower behind the slaughter

Pay to win, looks like Gardenscapes. Normal levels are very very difficult, hard levels are insanely hard. You can’t replay previous levels to farm coins to buy power ups, so if you’re stuck in a level you need to get the wallet out. Only one lawn mower per level, does not let you choose the plants you want to use in that level, repetitive, too many bucket heads in the same lane. Some levels as soon as you have 3 sunflowers down you have 2/3 zombies in different lanes. You must have a connection to play the game.
Bruh exactly because you also get imps coming in already and they are faster than the ones from the previous games and they eat the plants too quickly but especially the Peashooters are weaker on this game and there’s no plant food or leveling system for the plants which makes everything too frustrating and impossible to enjoy, how can we have fun with this crap if it’s so unbalanced and a huge mess?
I'm already stuck at level 85 its impossible to play this for free...
The game also has dynamic difficulty, so the best strategy is literally to just lose until the zombies leave you alone out of pity.
Yep you right that game trash and boring too dude
I love how popcap hate there community so much to the point where they make a pvz garden scape game
You mean ea
@@crowsnest1510 No, Popcap. They're the devs, EA is the puplisher.
Fix your English it's poopcrap
@@bf3isbestbf359 yeah but EA has control over what they are allowed to do and is very limiting

I remember when the second one came out… there being like 4 worlds .. such good memories ❤️🩹
There was a 3?
Yes
It's on play store
No this game doesn't exist
We do not talk about the 3
It’s like the atla movie
"dam this video really negitive wtf,, the game cant be that bad...."...was my original reaction to seeing this video, since then i have grown the hate this game with every fiber of my being
Crazy dave is not the main character, he is helping you who is with plants and what not.
True from what i can remember he is player’s neighbor
5:58
"Let's get to the kills"
haha finally someone noticed lol
deadmeat reference?
I was wondering why it sounded so familiar
The movie begins with a kill
“My name is James A Janise”
What is the point of a third entry in the series when it doesn't improve anything their predecessors have.
This game is disappointing specially because it could be the last one. They could just get rid of the 3 and market it as a spin off. I don't think that is going to happen tough.
this has worse graphics than pvz 2
you are godamn right.
i love this artstyle wdym
@@DaeVicho it looks awful, like a low effort version of the second game
@@hmmm2872 i can actually see why you hate it: the animations are not that good(not pvz 2 post blockoli seedium plants bad but still kinda ass)
@hmmm2872 Well it is indeed a low-effort version anyway.
Patrice’s face in thumbnail sums up how I feel about this game well
Plants vs zombies 2 was a master piece
Plants vs zombies 3 is a Homescape type game
The ticket mechanic makes me die
The worst thing is in Pvz3 we can't choose the plants 😑😑😑
facts
cuz if we can choose the plants,we’re gonna choose broken plants and make the game easier
@@balslepwealcome to strategy games
Problems of the game is that sun flower gives 1 sun every time instead of 50 and sun shroom is coming soon in the next update and the bad level design plant food needs a comeback because the gamr just immediately pulled out tds lunar overture enemy spam on us
I have literally one good thing to say about this game and that is that the artstyle of the sprites and plants is pretty nice. My man Dave’s lookin’ handsome
Yeah it's really cool
I was actually just playing this game just recently and I made it past the first 10-13 levels wondering when I would get past the tutorial parts and get to select my own plants. After watching this video, I guess I never will.
I fully agree with you this game seriously sucks and it’s not fun at all, it lacks of several elements from the previous games and it's too frustrating to play with such unbalanced levels with too many zombies even at the beginning and no freedom of choosing your own plants but especially Cherry Bomb, Jalapeño and Chilly Pepper have been turned into expensive powerups which is such a big L from PopCap and EA, George Fan would have done a much better job with this game if he wasn’t fired. So yeah this PVZ Sequel is very awful and honestly i also hate the Sun system because it’s just exactly like Clash Royale with the numbers and plants are even nerfed because Snow Pea takes much more hits to kill a zombie, especially an imp and the Squash no longer kills a Gargantuar in two hits.
I'm not a PvZ fan like you guys, but that doesn't mean I don't see the disappointment in your hearts, I do.
I'm a big fan of other zombie game called Earn To Die. The publisher (Not Doppler) launched ETD3 in limited testing back in 2018, then removed it a couple weeks later with no word. Unless you were a hardcore fan, you'd never know it even existed...
Since a couple months ago, they've been limited testing an early access game that is a spin-off to the franchise. Still, during this period, NO word has been spread on their socials except job applications on their website to alert fans. Talk about great communication between fans lmfao!
The story setup is just a ripoff of those other puzzle story games like royal match and gardenscapes. Where you play like 15 levels and then get to decorate some part of your house.
The only addition I liked was Dave’s Niece Patrice, she’s cool and it’s nice to see another human in a PVZ game.
The story starts good with Patrice looking for her uncle, finding a robot lawnmower, repelling an infectious zombie fog, but then it’s just pointless decorating.
she was first introduced in the comics irc.
@@thewitchidolsachika6682 comics were fire when I was little lol
You can't even choose your own plants, this ruined the game for me. you should also try the chinese version of PVZ1 all plants and the zombies ar cracked on steroids, imagine a gargantuar version of a football zombie, that's the stuff you deal with like bruh.
The way the game is set up as well I’m not sure how they will add any other modes like last stand or endless or even new plants to play with, at this point the 2020 version looked better then the one we have now, more new plants and zombies and fun gimmicks like extra attack speed if you have symmetry in a lane, gone are the days of hearing that nostalgic level end music while you wonder which new plant you will unlock and play with, it’s literally the same as what they did with the variants in BFN idk how they didn’t learn their lesson, and the lack of animations for cherry bomb and jalapeño just makes the game feel so so unfinished and not up to standard, even something as simple as having the ability to unlock other version of defence plants to replace grapes of wrath that charge up over time would be awesome.
when he said “thanks for the help with that bing ai” that shit was so real
This was the first PVZ game I played; and if I didn't know how the other games played, I would've given up on the franchise forever.
A good trilogy would be to keep originality while adding new creative aspects. Like adding a plant champion that u can keep and level up through levels, or different level designs such as different zombie paths, or even defending two lawns at once. A cooler story like Dave’s brother or something
fun fact Patrice was in the og comics along with a boy named nate (not related to dave)
i just had a chat with a friend and he said he would play the next garden warfare if its as good or better then gw2
i think he knows that ea controls pvz and tried to give me false hope or he's clueless and actually thinks another garden warfare is being made
this game shows they dont care
im annoyed that pvz 2 is mobile only and now that i know pvz 3 exist and is only for mobile again makes me angry
i love pvz its my childhood game since i was 8? 9? i dont remember my uncle showed me the demo for pvz 1 and i fell in love with it
but i have zero hope, no faith for any sort of revival for pvz
i'll stick to pvz1 and 2 and garden warfare 2
*looks at subscriber count*
*looks at total views*
Ah, and the algorithm blesses another...
im scared to make a new video bro 💀
There's barely enough content to make a video on
4:58 isn’t bombshell a positive descriptor?
neither positive nor negative. its rather a surprise, and it can be applied to positive or negative things. i inferred everyone would assume it was negative as thats the entire theme of the video
I'd love an update that could really help the game where they just shut off the servers and delete it
EA heard "third times the charm" and decided to make it false.
To be honest I love the art style for pvz3 but the stuff they added/changed from the other two games made it hard to enjoy
I didn’t even know this game was out till recently, when I found out I was excited. Turned out to be a bit shit. I got up to level 150 so far. It starts out super easy. Then when you get to level 130 upwards some levels are just like brokenly difficult. The night levels are just fcked you have minimum sunlight and they just through max waves at you. It feels like the end levels you need power ups to pass. Although I did eventually pass without power ups. After 15 attempts.
I think in some ways I like the simplicity but I think after 11 years they should have been making something more developed. Than this, it’s a bit of a joke on the company for them tbh.
I respect you for making it that far, I made it to 95 for the video but everything after like 30 was boring 😭
Just wanted to add for some reason I’ve decided to keep on playing. I’m on level 175. They’ve started to copy and paste the same bloody levels just flipped. That’s how lazy they’ve gotten. Two levels so far in the new batch have obviously repeated levels 🥲
What a shame. The first couple, along with angry birds, mightve been the peak of mobile gaming lol
Maybe I’m just sleep deprived but when you shake your phone the word sucks in the thumbnail looks like it shakes too
Y’all remember when Patrice was cool? In the early comics? Look at what they’ve done to her
Oh jeez, is that patrice on the thumbnail? What the hell did they do to her!?
12:42 They really grabbed the Zen Garden concept and made it 50% of the game....
Pvz1 exist:omg this game is so good wow
Pvz2 exist:bruh this game is so p2w,nothing beat original
Pvz3 exist:this is a piece of sh*t...
I would love a new mechanic in the 3rd game like mutations where you gain and lose stats or a whole new refunction of the plant
that actually isn't a bad idea
the changed the sound effect for collecting suns? WTAF?
I don't why they didn't just make the story about saving people or help people defend against zomboss army. Heck they could make it where if you save certain gardeners they unlock new plants to earn in a improved gacha system (aka it being more f2p friendly). Heck the gardenscape aspect could have been cool you could have been able to build your own base/garden. There is so many things popcap could have done but they chose the facebook route of mobile game development.
The graphics only got worse overtime 💀
Just gardenscapes basically
Luckily I live in Hong Kong and Hong Kong don’t have pvz3
Plants vs Zombies was the beginning and center of the whole franchise. But they sh#t on the sequels.
They aren’t making a PVZ game, they’re making a mobile game. They don’t respect the tower defense classic that launched Popcap to success, they respect the amount of money it makes. They’re trying to be something they just aren’t, and it sucks, they completely lost their identity.
Danerade said it best in his almost 3 hour long video about how shit this franchise has become, and most importantly, why.
Here's also a piece of my mind regarding the game:
I absolutely hate that there's no instantaneous plants just for free use.
Why tf is the cherry bomb and jalapeno on the right side as a power-up? They could've just done 150 and 125 respectively.
Don't even get me started on the removal of 25 sun and the 25 multipliers and that's what kept it engaging especially with strategy games. Who tf will be interested if your main source of income is like a stingy, run off the mill gacha roll? Yeah like i got 2 sun it's like you got 2 dollars in a fucking war game, who buys a tank for 2 dollars?
Oh and the story. Yeah, it's fine Dave, you're the savior of this town by artificially made zombies that can lobotomize your species real quick for their sustenance led by an evil genius but my god, the city is at stake, and there's no blood everywhere, you would think that they finally got mad and started eating the townspeople's brains but I've seen enough zombie movies to say that there should be brainless humans lying around because hurr durr zombies attacking lets go
Tl;dr pay to win util, uninteresting number system, and no sense of urgency
The intro made me think you were talking about another game producer, Valve…
I'm still playing pvz 3 and one thing I don't like about this game is I don't get to choose my own plants a I always like the lighting plant
You mean lightning reed
since when was there a third one?
if not for this video I, would not know it existed
I used to think Plants vs. Zombies 2 was an awful game. Microtransactions everywhere, the music felt incredibly generic, wasn't a big fan of the artstyle... but now, as I've come to understand game development, art, and music, the game is actually really good. And even when I went back to it with the mindset of "This is a bad game", I still knew that it could be a LOT worse... and it did. Plants vs. Zombies 3 exists now. And my God, they just want to copy other popular games.
The whole idea of PopCap was that they made a lot of unique games. Zuma, Peggle, Bejeweled, and of course, Plants vs. Zombies. These games managed to take the puzzle aspect and turn them into fun experiences. Peggle is beloved by thousands for it's incredibly calm yet satisfying gameplay, using the whole pinball machine concept and pushing it with it's fun yet simple gameplay. Bejeweled was one of the very first... how do you say it? Bubble-popping colored puzzle games? The ones everyone copies now? Regardless, it was one of the first alongside Candy Crush and it definitely succeeded in everything it did. Zuma, I genuinely never played it lmao. From what I can see, it's a mixture of Peggle and Bejeweled, throwing colored balls to match the other colored pegs. Another one of those games that jumpstarted that specific genre. And Plants vs. Zombies, by taking the Tower Defense genre and making it more focused on utilizing different plants and strategizing what goes where since a plant WILL go away.
It's sad to see PopCap in the state they are in now. They've had one of the biggest win streaks in games. Every PvZ title, except for BFN during it's launch, was VERY good. PvZ2 is still played by thousands to this day, GW1 and 2 somehow still have large servers, and Heroes was given really good reception. And all of a sudden, with PvZ3, they just... lost all their good developer skills?
heres why its heroes the game wasn't doing very well which caused them a massive lay offs a lot of directors, senior artist and animators are gone
11:37 “play with crazy dave’s niece patrice” 💀 💀 💀
And not to mention some level are titled "Very Hard" which is true and it's rng based if you want to play it without the power ups
Thing that make me quit from PvZ 3 is that one level with checkered water and ground level. Was soooo damn annoying!
what is the name of the game after destiny? at the intro. 0:22
someone else in the comments said that it was risk of rain 2 but correct me if im wrong
bro wtf i tried collecting the sun in the video's gameplay 💀
The unic thing i heard was that you want a GW# or that PvZ 3 to be a copy paste of PvZ 1
Can I know the game name of the start of the video? 0:00
overwatch 2😭
9:57 the bamboo plant im pretty sure was on the Japanese version of PvZ 2 if I’m not mistaken
Sadly this not popcap fault it was EA
how do you the play again
This is literally trash!
The hidden racism towards everything, thats its no on android, the terrible graphic, its all just bad! I wish Popcap would shut down forever
Hidden racism..? What💀💀
I also thought the same after 30 levels the game felt like a chore and repeating levels with the same gimmicks and near identical level design didn't help either
It took us 4 years to get the second game.
It took us 11 years to get a soft launch of the third game.
Bruh, I didn't know about it's existence untill I found that video today, also I can't download it since "it's unavalible in my country" or something
there's no way they put you in a world overrun by zombies that have time travel, where plants can walk and have supernatural abilities, and a sentient AI to just say "Hey, this man need help with his garden! Can you help him?". They could've made you finally liberate the world, maybe delve further into the human side of the story, maybe trouble with penny, or literally just mashing together their other ips would've made a better game than whatever this generic looking mesh of color is.
0:52 it isn’t Dave’s house though. Dave lives next door
I hope this will get updates to make it good
Arent you crazy daves neighbor in the first game?
“…let’s get to the kills” 5:57
What are the games you were playing?
I hope if it gets on iOS dear lord apple will recall it instantly
As per usual...anything with EA turns p2w and became ass
I had not realized PVZ had a 2 or a 3. Just the Shooter.
They are killing our childhood Megamind, then plants vs zombies. what will they take next?
Kung Fu panda
This game was an entire chapter of my life the time when angry birds and pvz was big one of the first games I came into contact with.
0:00 how did you play every single game I regularly play in the span of 41 seconds while also talking about pvz.
Wait.. Plants vs zombies 3 exists ???
EA cannot pacify their urge to put 5 unvigintillion microtransactions in their game no matter what because the allmighty dollar is so much more valuable than player experience which, in the long run, probably would make them more money. i don't even know what popcap is doing, either.
5:57 pvz3 kill count? Cant believe they skipped the first 2
Soooooo Garden Escapes meets PvZ?
I just play it recently and my opinion was maybe its meant for kids... As old player of pvz, i try this game to 200 levels and theres absolutely no challenge...
I Didn't Even Know There Was A Plants vs. Zombies 3
Most of the levels feel like a reptation, and some of the levels are SOO difficult it is impossible to complete without boosts. (I'm stuck in a ridiculously hard level right now [97 something]) Also insta kill plants being treated as power ups is just stupid. Lets just hope it would be better before it's final release.
So it’s basically just Homescapes with a copy and pasted version of the old game
the second game was good but a third game was destined to fail, they were bound to run out of ideas
I personally liked the concept of being able to use special plants without having to pay for it, some plants pretty expensive.
I did end up playing the game, I liked the graphics, the concept of there actually being a story and lastly, actually being able to use plants without paying.
However it got boring fast, I pretty much quit after level 34, I do think it has potential but it’s clearly not living up to it
This game ruined the book series the books where so good back then now it looks so bad
really wish they just stuck with the Garden Warfare series and expanded off that. (not battle for neighborville...)
I agree on everything but the story I don't agree the story is bad is decent but yeah paying tickets to continue the story is not good decision.
as soon as i heard EA, i already knew why
5:57 the movie begins…
I can't even really appreciate 2. Never owned a smartphone, never had a computer that can do Android emulation well enough that I don't feel I'm paying money to play the game in the form of diminished system lifespan, and the times I'm most likely to want to play a game like this are times I don't have access to the Internet. They've had ten years to repackage and sell it as an offline PC game: I'm not going to argue anything requires them to, but I'm also not going to give them my money if they insist on selling it in a way making it this inconvenient for me to buy and play it.
That said, I have managed to play 2 for a few hours off and on over the past decade. It doesn't have enough variety and little idiosyncratic weird things to really compete with 1, but it does have a lot of vaguely balanced stuff in it, and that means you can probably find a few "intended" ways to play you enjoy as well as a few less fair ways you find fun to get through the stuff you're supposed to be spending money to pass. ...3 doesn't sound like there'd be any fun in it at all.
Only think i like about the game is Mo doing a purple guy
