Favorite and least favorite thing from each PvZ shooter

This is mine:

Gw1:

 Most favorite: The maps in Gw1 are amazing and very nice, they feel more realistic and modern than to Gw2

Least favorite: Plants, they're pretty boring for me to play, only the sunflower that i enjoy, others, yeah no

Gw2:

 Most favorite: The game is smoother and more fun than Gw1, and more things to do in the game, especially the backyard battleground and finding the gnomes and also challenges like trials of gnomes that made the game for fun to play

Least favorite: Toxic community, unfortunatly many times as a Max Rank i experienced a ton of people from the game that just don't play the game like normal, sometimes i get targetted by green plates or other times another Max Rank tries to 1v1 me, while these aren't very common, it does happen time to time. Oh and hackers too, a ton of them on PC.

Bfn:

 Most favorite: A better story mode, Bfn's 4 story modes are amazing to me, they have improved it a lot and it made it very great, also Giddy Park, it was something i wished the backyard battleground had, i wanted it to have more people and so they did, Giddy Park is a good way to meet new friends

Least favorite: Balancing is still a problem in the game, for example zombies have more characters to select than plants, AIs in multiplayer are still pretty broken and some characters are just so OP, they did improve some of these issues but still, there is some things that should get a patch. 

If that's cool with you @Iron_Guard8, I will list 1-2 least and most favourite things for each shooter, my points are as below:

PvZ: GW1: I did not play GW1, but might give it a go at some point. One of my brothers used to play this a lot, but stopped playing it quite a while ago now. I never properly tried it, however I have seen videos on this game, and I have seen some gameplay.

• Least Favourite: Lack of Graveyard Ops, no character upgrades.
• Most Favourite: The Maps looked really good.

PvZ: GW2: A fun game with a lot of fun events and cool seasonal events, and heaps of variants, as well as new maps and the new character upgrades.

• Least Favourite: The Hackers/Cheaters.
• Most Favourite: Boss Hunts, Seasonal Events.

PvZ: BfN: My favourite game, however GW2 had loads of things that BfN did not. There was a lot of underlying issues as well, which is also very annoying. Oh well!

• Least Favourite: Underlying issues, toxicity.
• Most Favourite: Free-roam content, many of the new features, e.g. Legendary Upgrades.

That is all.

Here's my take on the three games:

GW1 - Favourite: The humour inherent in the shop-front signs and the landscaping in general buildings/signage etc. (very British - unfortunately that was partly lost in GW2 and is now non-existent in BfN) . A few of the maps were fun (can't remember the actual name of the map, but I remember it was about the zombies having to lock-down a sunflower lighthouse). Other maps were downright trivial.

GW1 - Least favourite: Balancing. The zombies had a clear advantage in fire-power and abilities, and only a handful of the plants were of any use (Sunflower who  had the same task as the Scientist on the Zombie side was without merit. Others nearly as bad were Bandit Cactus and Commando Pea. Both were useless).

Some of the maps were pretty uninspiring particularly the one were one as a Zombie ended up trying to take over Dave's mansion.

GW2 - Favourite: After years of disastrous attempts at balancing it is practically perfect now, and by far the best in terms of balancing when compared to GW1 and in particular BfN - barring lag. So gameplay first and foremost. Some of the maps were great too, e.g. Zomburbia, Zombopolis.

Graphically speaking it is on par with GW1. In particular the wide range of game modes are (or rather were) superb in GW2. By far the best of all three Plant vs. Zombie games.

GW2 - Least favourite: It was and is present in all games, but lag was and is still irritating (eg. shows up particularly with Chomper when he burrows). In addition had you asked me two years ago, I would have said balancing would have been my main gripe.

BfN - Favourite: The open range maps. And that is it!

BfN - Least favourite: Game-play, balancing, abilities. Characters graphically a disaster when compared to GW1 and 2. Although recognizing that the game is targeted at mainly kids it is still excruciatingly childish. As I have pointed out in a previous message, I had expected a progression of gaming quality from GW1 all the way through to BfN, but sadly BfN lets the series down.

On an end-note, with the failings of BfN in mind I get the impression that the devs on BfN are new to the game and not the same as those who were on GW1 and 2.

@TheSprinter85 GW1 does have upgrades, but they're in the sticker packs and every variant has 3 specific ones that are automatically equipped once acquired so you have no options on what you use unlike GW2 and BfN. Some of them (I'm looking at you Super Commando) are definitely OP. This is in fact, my 2nd least favorite thing in GW1, only surpassed by the leveling system!

@Cameroid07 Do you mean Sleepy Bat is actually back? I have not seen him for myself yet - I tried finding him on Halloween ages ago and he never came. Better get on and do that soon then. 🙂

@Iron_Guard8 You mean the weapon upgrades that are tied to each character by default that you cannot choose from the Sticker Pack? 🤔 Oh yes, I know about those. The “thing” that I do not particularly like about those is that you cannot select what upgrades you want on that character - you are stuck with what upgrades the characters get! They still seemed alright though - something apart from variants and cosmetics you could look forward to getting in a Sticker Pack! 🙂
