- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned Ace@stukapooka I'm not sure if the game is profitable now, but when I watch the live broadcast, there are a lot of people on the switch end.I only bought games on my PC
- stukapooka5 years agoLegend@DecreeNo9 From what I've seen from this forum: switch has a decent player count while pc is really bad while consoles semm meh.
- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned Ace@stukapooka Maybe it is. I can't see anyone on the PC side during the day. Maybe I'm the only one. I have to wait until night to play
- stukapooka5 years agoLegend@DecreeNo9 It's definetly the game.
Back when bfn was alive the steam statistics showed that bfn never even broke 1000 all time players like wow, that's sad. - DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned Ace@stukapooka I think the price of the game is too high. On the other hand, users using EA play may not increase sales. I'm not sure whether EA will choose the price, but I think it's better to lower it a little

The game would have had more players if they advertised it. I only knew the game existed because I check the Xbox store weekly. They should release and advertise OPS phase 3 and Iceberg Lettuce and see if it boosts sales.

True, they should fix some bugs as well as add the content.

Apparently, it was "promised" that even after the game was no longer gaining content updates, that they were still going to be fixing bugs and issues. Hopefully, this is still the case if it is true.
- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned AceI've been thinking about what would happen if BFN was changed to GW3, because players don't like branch works

@ thesprinter85 That would be awesome.
@DecreeNo9 What is meant by "branch works"?
- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned AceI'm not sure how to spell that word, for example: titanfall 1 and 2, and then when it should be 3, they launched apex legends. Although apex legends has something to do with titanfall's world outlook, it's not an orthodox sequel. It probably means this. It's just an example

@DecreeNo9They truly should have just made a gw3 as bfn has killed a lot of former garden warfare fans enthusiasm in the series or has driven them away from it entirely. What is it with game series never learning to count to 3 or making them bad like is 3 some kind of video game curse for most series?
Also popcaps twitter basically erupted in anger when they showed a post from EA about it takes two with a post mentioning garden warfare and the comments were basically just everyone asking for a gw3 or complaining about the series.
- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned AceThe number 3 is like a curse

The number 3 is like a curse
- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned Ace@stukapooka I think a big part of the problem that leads to the death of BFN is the balance between plants and zombies. Sometimes my plants are victorious, but zombies often fail
- stukapooka5 years agoLegend
@DecreeNo9Every team vanquish map has turned into branium basher one shot central or citrons spamming shields in 1v1s to practically become immortal.
Doesnt help that the teams never got an even number and tvhead/wildflower both have a melee attack almost as strong as chompers for some reason.
Corn still sucks and he got the first legendary upgrade and it somehow finds how to be worse in some ways than stock corn.
Scientist and engineer need I say more? - DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned Ace@stukapooka No, a big part of BFN's problem is the balance of camp strength. I've played with zombie scientists, and I basically don't treat others. I usually teleport crazily, close up and kill
- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned Ace@stukapooka I'm not sure if the game is profitable now, maybe not. I'm not sure if you can disclose the sales target on switch. If not, is GW3 still hopeful
- stukapooka5 years agoLegend@DecreeNo9 They still couldn't decide if they wanted scientist to be a healer or a vanquisher so now we got this unholy creature with three insta warps and self heals.
- stukapooka5 years agoLegend@DecreeNo9 It seems to be dropping off pretty quickly in terms of switch sales so who knows if the game is doing poorly/breaking even/well there.
- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned Ace@stukapooka Is the game far from breaking even?
- stukapooka5 years agoLegend
@DecreeNo9I don't know last I checked about a week ago the sub reddit said it was #20 on switch but that may have changed and its known that before the switch port that it massively underperformed comapred to both its two predecessors (feels like so long ago gw1 realesed a 8 million player statistic and gw2 had managed to dominate youtube for a few hours when it launched), I hope it does so we can get another game as I want the garden warfare series to continue as it had a good and successful run and I want pvz to succeed in general because I love the series.
- DecreeNo95 years agoSeasoned Ace@stukapooka If breaking even is not reached, is the garden warfare series over
- stukapooka5 years agoLegend@DecreeNo9 Maybe, as it would mean bfn lost money for the franchise overall and rather than admit that they just messed up and released a poorly made game no one wanted popcap/EA could just pull a chibi robo and just go "well I guess garden warfare isn't popular or profitable anymore" and cancel it despite the overwhelming support for a true gw3 that the fans are showing and then if pvz 3 fails p opcap could be deemed unprofitable by ea than shut down as they've done to many studios even if the games themselves do okay 'cough dead space 3 cough'.
I hope this isn't the end but popcap has done nothing to convince me otherwise for the series especially given that popcap Vancouver became motive Vancouver after bfn flopped so i doubt will see anything soon.
