I was disappointed that Crazy Dave and Zomboss backslided in BfN; losing their animations when even the quest NPCs in the backyard that gave us quests in GW2 were animated when talking with us. And yes, he could berate us a bit in GW and GW2, but not to the extremes he does in BfN. In the GW games you get that he actually cares, he even calls the plants monsters for attacking us in graveyard ops!
It's a minor thing to be sure, but part of why PvZ is so good is the attention to the minor and major things, so would love to have him back like he was in the GW games for the next game.
- @Iron_Guard8 Yeah even the minor characters in gw2 quests had animated announcer portraits.
Another thing is that he seems dumbfounded when the plants are winning like he's genuinely confused that they are a match for his zombies showing that he has some competence in their abilities and severely undersells his opponents.
If they actually bothered to connect the games and explain that he grew harsher due to his previous losses than it could actually work if done well and would make sense but instead he just comes off as unlikeable for the sake of it since outside of a few minor references gw and Bfn might as well two different series entirely.
Gw1 and 2 really nailed a lot of the small details in game and it feels like bfn forgot to really put in the time for it imo.
