PvZ 3 Limited Test Feedback
Now that a new beta has been released, I thought I'd provide my two cents on how I think this game is coming along.

I've not kept up on PvZ3 much, but from what I've seen it's much better than it was at first, but not as good as the original or PvZ2. I enjoy both of those games but stopped playing 2 since there were serious problems with the arena mode, and too many new plants added that cost real money.
Part of the issue is that losing the IP's creator, George Fan, means the person that came up with this wondrous idea is no longer part of the universe, so things added may not always jive well. In general, they've done a decent job, especially with both GW games, but there's been some serious problems too; BfN's failure being a big one.
I want PvZ3 to succeed, so I want them to make it work. PvZ2 is the only game in the franchise right now getting any real updates and support, and it's not a great place to be. I was getting quests done in GW2 last night and was bemoaning the fact we still have no news on a new shooter just makes things look worse and worse with PvZ3 not getting the best reviews. Not the best time to be a PvZ fan right now, but I'd love to be proven wrong!
@Iron_Guard8 I think a lot of people consider 2016 one of pvz 2's best years as i believe it was before a lot of the leveling and heavier arena style monetization came in. The progress through adventure mode was also balanced more along the gargantuar mini bosses in each world.
Some of the new plants are really cool but eventually some begin to overlap in purpose or are too powerful. five dollars for chomper will forever be a massive oof.
A lot of the people that worked with George also left when he did and its the reason a lot of the better pvz 2 was removed. Also hurts knowing that Popcap was the one who wanted more microtransactions in 2 which Fan was very much again and then he got layed off when Popcap/EA purged the studio of employees. Though there are differing tales of what the full story was.
Gw and heroes at their peak show that the series can branch out and be successful when supported but bfn and late no support also shows how easily you can drive something into the ground that was once easily praised.
It isn't so much that i care about pvz 3 that much but rather that the franchise needs a win right now after everything that's happened.
Crazy how pvz 2 still gets supported heavily yet pvz 3 feels almost like a fan game and communication is non existent with popcap.
I just wish gw2 had gotten a better final update as the portal rotation is so @##*. Imagine if we got spooky squash for Halloween and not team vanquish but with specific variants every time except that one month that its capture the taco.
Really hoping the series can climb back up because we're definitely in a dark age for the franchise right now
