So BFN is going to be on Xbox Game Pass (and also Game Pass for PC), the best deal in gaming. This is big because millions of people have played and love the GW series, but haven't tried BFN yet. Bad word of mouth isn't helping either. I hope everyone gives it a shot. This is huge for the player-base and I hope that some devs can read this. Monitor the numbers, and if the player-base is big enough, bring back Battle Arena as a default option.
@shurikeninja this is why although things look dark, and some other franchises have fared poorly or been lost under EA, PvZ has been doing well in one form or another for many years and the fact that so many people obviously and openly care about the games, the player retention was (is?) high, and some of us were more than happy to buy coin packs in GW and GW2 and some rainbow stars in BfN to show support, means there's a good chance we'll get a new game one of these days.
I'm honestly only on Twitter at all for these shooters and PvZ in general, and Justin Wiebe was the first person I followed (PvZ was second). I don't post a lot so missed any of the more toxic posts directed at anyone involved with PvZ, but they should chill out. Go ahead and post stuff like ;"please make a new PvZ shooter!" but avoid attacking the team and hammering at that point over and over.
2020 only gets worse and worse. Luckily, it will be over soon.
First a pandemic forcing me to stay at home, even morse so than others (due to my chronic diseases making me more a lot vulnerable).
Then, my favorite game franchise decides to no longer be a thing for a few years (PvZ 3 pulled and BfN's cancellation).
I know they are just games, but I really like playing PvZ the most. My 3 main game franchises are PvZ, Ratchet and Clank and Cities Skylines.
As you can see, I've been waiting for something new to play I would really like for a long time:
Cities Skylines -> 2015
Ratchet and Clank -> 2016, and that was just a reboot of the first game, the last mainline game was released in 2013
PvZ 2 -> 2013, last world added in 2016
BfN October 2019 - June 2020; While it didn't last long, I'm glad it happened. This game brought me so much joy in these dark times.
And the tip of the Iceburg is the recent incident in Vienna. Can't I just hibernate until mid 2021?
I played a lot of Heroes but when I couldn't get the red packs on my Android based phone, my OCD kicked in and I stopped. It's a fun game though.
Thank you fro recommending PvZ Heros!
I'm not into the genre but thought of trying it before. The main things that stopped me are 1) I see a lot of people say the game is experiencing more bugs and needs a balance patch and support has been dropped already 2) from what I understand it is live multiplayer and not asynchronous, like the arena in PvZ?
I like to try things on my own before diving into multiplayer, is that possible in Heros?
@benn1nat0r yes indeed! In fact I played tons of the single player vs AI stuff and so much of the mulitplayer duels although I did some. There were campaigns for both sides.
