We deserve better than this.

I am thoroughly disappointed with PvZ3, and it doesn't seem like PopCap even marginally cares. You probably know me already, I'm RCCH and I post Plants vs Zombies videos on YouTube. And to be honest with you, I am quite baffled that a game like Plants vs Zombies "3" can even have its soft launch at a state as horrible as it is right now. It is incredible how this game, supposedly a sequel to PvZ2 somehow has none of what made PvZ good, in this game.

I don't even care that the game sucks. That's fine, and no one is really pushing for PvZ3 to be released right now anyway. At least in its current state, it's not ready to be released. That's a certain fact, that the game sucks. The game has a sleuth of problems which I'm not going to go through again because I've already pointed out all the problems I had with the game in my first impressions video and just reiterating that is completely pointless.

 

What I am concerned about is that it seems like the PvZ3 community managers don't communicate with anyone except on this forum. That is horrendous. Nobody uses the EA forums, and I see no response to any of the comments made on reddit, on twitter, or youtube. We're really trying to tell you guys about the problems with this game, and it seems like it doesn't work. And I don't think there's a reason for me to reiterate what everyone has already said about the game being bad, so I have a very simple request. Can the community manager properly communicate with content creators or the player base in a meaningful way to acknowledge that feedback has been heard? It's very simple. I just want to make sure as a content creator, that we can directly give any sort of feedback directly to a community manager and at least have a talk. And I know, that a lot of other content creators have the same comments as I do, and it would be of utmost importance that our feedback be heard because everyone wants this game to be good, but it doesn't seem like you guys care.

 

If you guys actually do care about the playerbase, please have a chat with me by adding me on discord so that we can actually have a meaningful conversation about the future of PvZ3 and how to make it a better game instead of having to wait here and hope that somehow someone will reply and look at the forums. You can add me on discord via my username "rcchyt". Please and thank you.

EDIT: And do not just say you can't message me on discord. Stop the cap. You thoroughly know no one uses the EA forums and you can't have an actual conversation on a forum.

  • I grew up on pvz, gw2 was my first shooter, I have all the games, I play mods and fan games and just about everything in between, pvz is my fav series and it always will be, when I first saw pvz3 in 2019 I was wondering why EA and popcap made this, it wasn't what we were expecting but it wasn't that bad either, then we have this, I do not like this everything the original post says is right, I'm ashamed of ea (and a little of popcap cause they were ok with doing this) we can't pick our seeds, the levels are spammy and not fun, the ideas are not very good and are even being added to pvz2, I'm so sad about pvz crashing down like this, it hurts me so much, and ea doesn't care in the slightest, this game is unoriginal, a copy of garden scapes, and is extremely bland, god I wonder what will happen when they add a leveling system, it will be over from there, ea get your crap together and let popcap have some more control thank you @rcchyt for saying what you said in the post cause I think some people are to afraid to post what you said even knowing we all are thinking it. We do deserve better than this.

  • Back in 2009 PVZ1 was also a children's game, and in 2013 PVZ2. They felt the need to introduce a younger audience to their game series as modern children are bored with the older games and the older audience that grew up with the first 2 won't play them. Throughout the years as games are released and older games have sequels made for them, they progressively become more "baby-fied" to compete with the levels of entertainment other platforms, games, social media, movies, shows, cartoons have. Back then there weren't so many options for games. This is part of the reason that we're drawn to games that came out years ago compared to modern games that don't feel like they have any soul put into them. Nobody makes them for fun anymore.

  • @rcchyt I damn agree. What are those animations? Why the childish style? Why so less plants? Even modders make better games!
