BFN is lacking the PVZ identity.
where are the gardens? the graveyard motif in Z-Tech machines? why is it white and purple with angles? why not coffins and brainz? the clever (sometimes) plant puns from GW2?

You don't understand, LOADS of things are different. Character designs, backstory etc. The game has come a long way and it will continue. Give it a try
@Shadowphinx101 How did the backstory change for the better? We don't even know who these characters are or why they fight in bfn unlike gw1 and 2 where every class and variant had lore behind them in the almanac. Character design dosent make a game good they have to be actually fun and balanced as well and i'd argue imp and corn look worse than their previous versions. I want to like bfn I really do but for everything I do like there's something I just cant stand in the game.
OK, what is bad about BFN then.
- @Shadowphinx101 Connection issues with green ping resulting in constant disconnects, heck some people cant even play the game! Ops is a shell of its former self with baby mode difficulty and little enemy and ally diversity that they promise to fix but why was it a shell in the first place? Map design is just straight up bad for a lot of the maps being filled to the brim with chokepoints and playing like 2fort and dustbowl straight out of tf2 ( oh boy I thought time park was bad) with only preserve pastures and goopy gully having a solid design, 8v8 normal map gamemodes, some classes are straight up garbage when put against other classes, pve areas have no replay value at all when completed, a long *** grind that is the only way to get new cosmetics are items because the reward o tron has little content that shows no sign of being refilled causing coins to become worthless besides buying wizard, balance is incredibly one sided with zombies steamrolling plants atm, and for me personally why remove custom private matches, a highly demanded request from gw1 was to have the option to play with bots which was added in gw2 but removed in bfn only to have battle chests that limit players optiins with built in rules for how they play. I hope popcap turns bfn around but right now its just extremely dissapointing for me and if I had known it would be like this I probably wouldn't have bought it for founders.
The Map Designs are SIICKK. I think each map has a unique charm and trait, and honestly Idk what the hell you are on about. I will admit many characters are unbalanced atm, but I don't think the zombies are overpowering. I will admit I want some private match mode, HOWVER WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU ON ABOUT??? PVE regions HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER. There are quests to do, collectables to find and to earn medals. And you do get a reward for finishing pve modes. After getting ALL the medals in a region, you have the ability to access new skins. Honestly, I think the customisations are better than before. There DOES need to be more stuff in reward-otron 9000, HOWEVER in GW2 we had garbage filler customsations i.e the same hat or organic just in a DIFFERENT COLOUR. ALL of these coin-earned customisations are UNIQUE, no FILLERS and many of the prize map skins are SIICKK. Honestly, the ping can be a nightmare. However the graphics feel so much more cleaner, the mechanics are better and the Giddy Park is BETTER than backyard battleground.
Dropoff and Balancing is needed, but you just have such a pessimistic view of this game. Honestly I have met SO MANY people like you that just complain about BFN. Each characters feels unique, lots of the abilites are fun and rewarding to use and the legendary upgrades are REALLY good. I mean, the Thorn Apart upgrade is SOOO good. PopCap have tried to create Rose a more support class, because you get rewarded for being support. The shogun-guard upgrade makes corn a better match for soldier. THEY ARE LISTENING, you just need to actually see for yourself
@stukapookaYou said the the zombies areas look clean? But what about all the cones in pilles every where the zombies control? Now this is just my opinion but they don’t look that clean but yes I do know what you mean also they could have just forgot about the purple grass
@Gamerboyz291825The cones are a nice touch(too bad we dont even get to use cone heads outside of screen door units) but we're talking about the zombies that spawned in areas befitting of them in gw1 like graveyards or mausoleums(places devoid of life alongside zomboss estate being a lifeless dead tree filled area), heck even in gw2 they had fake purple grass and gravestones lying around alongside a gothic style architecture with dead trees, where in bfn they are pretty much the plant base but with a factory and disco hall instead of a piano mansion.
