"bTd5 wAs BeTteR" 

If you still think 5 is better you prob haven’t tried 6 yet lol, but it's totally fine if you prefer 5

It's kinda mind blowing seeing the old art for the tower and goes "wait, it was like that?" Or "damn"

Btd 5 was great at its time but the versatility you get from 3 different paths makes it impossibleto go back

A lot of people seem to forget how gorgeous the artwork in BTD6 is, especially compared to the other games.

I like how the aircraft carriers went from "Remote control boat remotely controlling planes" to "I *AM* THE NAVY B I T C H"

the literal definition of, "im glad i grew up with this but damn this is better"

The thing about BTD5 is that the towers and artwork looks like it's from a flash game; which is how BTD5 started

I like BTD6, but BTD5 will always have a special place in my heart for being my childhood game.

BTD5 was my favorite because of how it stepped up from BTD4, it was a massive change in terms of looks When BTD6 came out, I judged it unfairly because I looked at the screenshots and I wasn't a fan of the 3D look (not sure why) I decided to pay for it and gave it a try and I changed my mind instantly, BTD6 was just amazing in every way, and I definitely owed an apology to BTD6 for not giving it a try before judging

I wanna see the old BTD5 sprites redrawn in the BTD6 art style, having the same details and everything just more cleaned up. I think it would look very nice

1:43 I love how the mortar goes from 'Ok carefully load in the nuclear bomb' to 'YEET IT'S TIME TO SLAM DUNK DIS NUKE'

Btd5 mortar monkey: "Okay put the nuke in, slowly..." Btd6: "I'M FUCKING BA-" *Nuclear reaction*

Btd 5 went for a cartoonish approach, while 6 took a fancy realistic one*. And after looking at 6's designs for far too long, I must say that it's a breath of fresh air to look at 5's again. Edit: A year later and I still get replies saying "tf, realistic?" So lemme just say: I was talking shit out my ass lmfao I have no defense at all. To amend the statement entirely, 5 went for a simplistic, cartoonish look, meanwhile 6 went for a more chibi style, almost? Very similar to Wind waker. If something were to be cartoonish but realistic, it'd be Breath of the wild, or tears of the kingdom (ik, I mentioned the zelda series twice but that's the only comparison I can make) Anyways fyuck off

btd5 was good but 6 is much better

So btd5 was a bit more "realistic" while btd6 was a bit more cartoony and colorfull obviously the budget for the art went up so we cant compare quality

BTD6: Anything you can do, I can do better. BTD5: What about the Bloonchipper?

Both of the games are true masterpieces. I like the BTD5's simplicity in both graphics and gameplay and the variety of games made with it. BTD6 has more challenging gameplay and made the series grow up much more. I like playing both! 🔥

I think btd has executed this sequel thing very well, each game in the series has much better graphics than the former, and each have more upgrades, and more complexity, but never too much, and each game feels more polished and clean

The artwork for BTD5 expanded upon that of BTD4. It felt like a natural progression from 4 to 5 with the updated animations and better looking sprites. 6 made the jump from 2D to 3D so they eventually reworked all the sprites to better suit that environment. BTD6 is still the better game, but that doesn't take away from what BTD5 was and still is - a good game

I really like the simplistic and cute designs of btd5, but I also appreciate the sleeker and cleaner art btd6 uses. That and btd6 also has a couple pretty cool looking upgrades.

*uses tier 5 btd6 artwork* *uses tier 4 btd5 artwork*

it’s the memories we had with BTD5 and how iconic it was. The design of the monkeys got better in the next game because that’s what happens when you make a new game they change things to be more appealing and new. I’m not saying btd 6 is bad because I love btd 6 but I like the feel and art of btd5. But still they put a lot of things that is a lot better than btd5 I just think people (and me) think that it’s better because we are pretty nostalgia blinded

0:45 I have to honestly say, the Btd 5 art may not be as good, but it's power is far from dissapointing. Edit: Gee, I shouldin't deserve this many likes. Edit 2: Nor that heart

Ngl i kinda like the simplicity of bt5’s artstyle

I think one of my favourite parts is that such a large percentage of the game is actually 3D modeled, and all of the 3D models resemble the drawings A LOT. The large use of cartoony outlines is one of the best parts of the models. So much effort put into making the outline effects just to make the models resemble the drawings a bit more. And also the ANIMATION!!! Really smooth and well done!! I'm not even talking about the bosses!!

The btd6 ones look like cosplay's that you would find in a convention . Btd5 looks like it could actually be real-ish like in a war/ magic way

Most of the towers shown in the video have gotten better such as supply drop which in btd5 just added an ability and that's it but in btd6 get's an ability, ability to pop leads and the second tier upgrade of that same path get's upgraded; there is the viral frost upgrade which got removed and gotten replaced by icicles/icicle impale which honestly is better; druid stealed one upgrade path of the wizard; and ground zero from btd5 is just an merged ace on 4-4-0 without the missiles and bombs if there was tier 5s in btd5 probabaly tsar bomba is an 5-5-0 ace and towers like cripple moab That got buffed and moved to tier 5 Also there is BADS which separeted the functions by splitting in 2 paths being Rocket storm path and BADS path which changes to an kinda of shotgun tower and The ability changed to the better by not firing only 100 rockets that do very low damage do bloons

Now that I think about it, sitting on massive ball of spikes doesn't seem like the best idea...

Can't believe the B-2 Spirit isn't a bomber plane in BTD6, absolutely ridiculous

1:05 w-where did that sp-spike go?

What music is this? it's so familiar but I cant remember where it's from...

it amazes me how beautiful the BTD6 artwork is from time to time I’ll never forget BTD5 though :’) it gave me so many memories with my dad

Btd 5 is nostagic as fok, I rly loved that game when I was younger

I like btd 6, I think it was very well executed, like when it first released I wasn't sure how good 3 paths and 1 tier 5 was gonna be, but it was executed perfectly imo, however I do miss the simple 2d textures of btd 5 and btd battles 1, it makes placement much easier imo

Yes, because when someone says they prefer an old version or something, they are DEFINITELY talking about the graphics

0:26 why dose the image go hard

I feel people prefer 5 because of the nostalgia and/or the retro kind of feel to the art and gameplay, however I personally like btd5 but yeah I do agree that btd6 is quite a bit better

Both are equally great, oh and also triple dart monkey in btd5 has very great drip

Energy Beacon will always be better than Primary Expertise (in terms of offensive capabilities)

I loved the lightning village in BTD5. Sad that they removed it.

I still like the simplicity of 5 better, I wish there was BTD 5 art style with BTD 6 balancing and upgrade paths, I wish they still had bloon chipper, and I liked specialty buildings+lab more than knowledge I think Bloons monkey city was the best though; everything looked polished and it actually had some story to it, but the maps get repetitive quick

I think 5 is pretty dated (unless you’re looking at 5HD, then it’s fine) where as 6 is much more refined. 5 is a much better game for casual players who don’t want to be overwhelmed and is a great introduction to the series where as 6 has much more content and complexity that makes it more fun if you’re experienced. In my opinion, 5HD and 6 are two sides of the same coin.

You people simply don’t understand the joys of btd 5

the main thing i miss from btd5 is the unique challenges it had, rather than modifiers there were conditions you had to deal with like losing the oldest towers you placed or to protect the village in the center

Btd5 looks like a project from a group of friends while Btd6 is a full online game from a solid Company

I think btd5 artwork is good in its own right. It has tons of charm. Though, I don’t think is fair to compare both, btd6’s art is more elaborate.

0:44 I think in this one btd5 is better ( I like angry ice monkey)

1:38 This one is better, fight me.

'you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about'

undeniable charm with BTD5 though.

I remember not liking btd6 as much as btd5 when it had barely released (I even deleted btd6) but honestly btd6 is better than btd5 in like every regard and btd5 was a great game

1:43 I like how BTD5 Mortar is cautious with the literal nuclear nuke he has in his possession, meanwhile the BTD6 Mortar just tosses the nuke into the cannon lol.

Does anyone actually say 5 was better? BTD is just one of those franchises where each game is objectively a direct upgrade to the last. That said, BTD4 clears all because it's playable on Nintendo DS and it has the Lightsaber Thrower.

Imo the whole three upgrade paths thing was dumb since some of the powers of the original upgrades had their functionalities split into different paths and it made some of the monkeys have the exact same powers but in far worse ways.

1:29 I’ve actually got BTD5 and I’ve never seen this tower, presumably it’s the Banana Processing Facility (or something like that)?

0:57 I actually prefer the old one.

Ah yes. So now solely just showing graphics of one game when comparing it to another game appearently now is enough to say the game with better graphics is better. Got it.

I've played both 6 and 5, and while 6 is great, 5 just has that nostalgic bit to it that will always make me say 5 is better

I've tried both and still prefer 5. I think the simpler graphics give it its own specific kind of charm and I'm very much prefer 2 trees over 3 for simplicity sake. Its coop also doesn't melt my phone.

I was a fan of btd5’s broken money farming. You could stall a lead bloom for years and get millions per round with 0-4 snipers

Ok 1:35 is actually quite good

1:16 honestly the coat that the 5 one has is nice i wish the super monkey fan club had it in 6

0:17 that is the derpiest picture of btd5 tech terror ever

BTD6 Fandom is one of the fandoms that actually prefers new games over old games

I honestly prefer the more simple designs, it’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on in the newer ones. If the simpler designs were done in the new artstyle it would be great

this video is the definition of "so glad i grew up with this, but damn this is better"

I miss the old designs for some towers. I would've loved to see the old ninja designs in the more 3d modernized art style

The mortar is just: "This is an extremely dangerous and expensive piece of ammunition, I must handle it with extreme care in order to ensure the safety of myself and my allies." "F¥¢& IT WE BALL!!!"

What they actually look like vs what you remember them looking like

Btd 7: no more path system for upgrades, now there’s an endless amount of combinations of towers to make so u can combines a paragon monkey wizard with a paragon monkey ship

Btd5 has a better art style

after 1 year of btd6, btd5 is better because tier 1-2 monkeys dont look like nfts

childhood have you hear of it

I actually black bordered bloody puddles which I believe qualifies me as a btd6 expert and I honestly prefer 5. I don't like the weird line between top down 2d and 3d. It's kinda cheap like the ds pokemon games. Btd5 was a simple yet adorable smooth style that was very pleasing to the eye

Both are good xd

BTD5 was the childhood for a bunch of us but the modern games are just better.

i legit now refuse to play any btd game that's not btd6 or btdbattles, the 3 paths idea is bloody brilliant and allows for way more fun

Nah the one thing I despise about btd 6 is the removal of the balloon chipper.

BTD5 monkeys weren't worse, they just grew up to be these legends

They did my boy B.I.A dirty, it was the best bank to ever be in the series, it needed no ability, just simply needed to be good. Now it's simply just used for quick cash, and our boy bloonchipper was left to rot.

the art is the least of the reasons why 5 is worse than 6 it’s that six has an extra upgrade path and one extra tier per upgrade giving it the same gameplay with more content which is objectively an improvement

I like 5's artstyle, I'd consider it more charming and unique than 6's. Almost makes me think of old Newgrounds games. When I started 6, I absolutely preferred the way 5 looked. But 6 has grown on me a lot over my time with it, and now I'd consider them about equal in my opinion. Granted, I am most definitely influenced by nostalgia.

After spending my entire childhood playing 5 i was overwhelmed with 3 paths when i first tried 6

I would understand people saying 5 is better if 6 didn’t include Park Path, but it does

Bro we had the vaccume ok? The vaccune was a banger

Virgin BTD5 The Big One: Not even good enough to hold the Bomb by hand Chad BTD6 The Biggest One: Climbs on the Mortar to toss the Bomb in by hand

BTD 6: what you expect of your drawing skills BTD 5: what you get

I played both BTD6 and BTD5, but I still prefer BTD5 because of how easy to learn and fun it is. BTD6 is too complicated in my opinion with 3 upgrades and another blimp and heroes.

BTD5 was good for what it was, but BTD6 outshines it. Though I wish BTD6 had the tower buildings from btd5.

BTD6 with BTD5 art style would be awesome

I think the title may be correct in a way. BTD5 WAS better. I think it’s because bloons veterans were vert used to and liking of the 5th game, that when 6th came they weren’t too eager to play. Although, I think the majority realised 6 is kinda way better.

I will say BTD5 made me appreciate all towers and upgrades (which is something I cannot say for BTD6)

At least BTD5 has Viral Frost.

BTD5 - Everymonkey on the upgrade sprites are bead eyes BMC - Everymonkey had cartoon eyes. with eye whites and such since everyone loved BMC, ninja kiwi took the hint BTD6 - Monkeys now have bigger cartoon eyes remained unchanged even in BTD Battles 2 you will notice it most at the glaive lord comparison as well as the Juggernaut upgrades.

There are 2 types of people who prefer btd5, the ones that havent played btd6 yet and the ones that are just weird

Btd6 will never go popular if its not a better sequel to btd5

OMG THE NOSTALGIA (still like btd5 in memmory but if I revisit btd 5 i don know) Nostalgia should be left there

the glowup from btd5 hydra rocket pods to MAD is pretty insane
