In today's video we're playing Battle for Neighborville, the game that undeniably ruined the Garden Warfare series, but lets be honest, this isn't a garden warfare game. Make sure to like, subscribe, and stay tuned for more content!
@@Mew4you1 I would definitely recommend. IDK about PS, but on pc, the game is usually on sale for about $6, and if you get it on pc, you can download mods. The game also has a consistent player base on all platforms.
@@CJ_MAX550tbh as a new player i really enjoy the game its not bad in my opinion i do think peashooter getting pushed by the air with the hay was pretty funny I just realized the desings are based on PvZ 2 or the comics
I like playing BFN to take a break from GW2, the new characters are pretty fun but i like sniping, also the environment is far more better than GW2, its just the character designs. The designs look cute especially footsoldier but GW2 had the better designs that were cute themselves.
@linofensif5510 I mean its not wrong to say the environment looked a whole lot better in Battle for Neighbourville, since even Garden Warfare 1 had a better environment than Garden Warfare 2. The environments in Garden Warfare 2 were more purple and it just made the environments look less pleasing, I know GW2 looks like that because the zombies gained more land but maps like Zombopolis and Zomburbia as well as the Backyard Battleground look infinitely better with mods such as the vivid Warfare mod that removed the purple. The character designs were more better in Garden Warfare 2 but it looks worser environment wise.
The game is alright, nothing is wrong with it the only problem is that whoever was foolish enough to not keep making updates for GW2, the game that was most popular, they left it in the dark and created a new game instead which is a big loss that anyone can calculate
It’s not even the fact that they created the new game, which was unnecessary in the first place, but that they stopped updating the game not even a year after it released, showing that they had absolutely zero confidence that this game was good enough to keep a consistent player base. Such a shame.
@@CJ_MAX550 For realll and we don't even have boss hunts anymore and other town hall events. This game could've still been relevant if they had just focused on it
im sorry but i feel like your just hating on everything about the game i feel the same when it comes to GW2 was a better game but the game was made to be goofy thats teh point ngl your just hating games a solid 7/10
Honestly i have way more fun on bfn than on gw2 since gw2 playerbase is 90% sweaty try hard and 10% noob who don't know how to use their controller/keyboard , on bfn the only bad thing are brainium basher/steam gun and spawn killer and that's it
i don't mind the steam blaster tbh it's like chemist or zooligist brainium is a problem yeah but imo the other legendary upgrades aren't broken scientist works like an actual support character in bfn but if thats not your cup of tea steam blaster is good bc you can still heal but you kill ppl crazy quick (unless they are are fucking night cap or acorn dancing all over the place) brainium and citron are the 2 most busted characters imo
I can see the appeal for the games art style, since it tries to be different, it’s just not for me. I’ve been more of a fan of the traditional art style of the garden warfare games, especially GW2
I actually enjoy this game 😂 the last PVZ I played was Garden Warfare and my god have the graphics come so far. Hearing you trash on this game like you came into it with a negative mindset was actually kinda disappointing given the fact that it’s a Plants Vs Zombies game 😂 like relax bro what did you expect, Call Of Duty graphics?
@@reggiethenuclearbomband why did they do that? It's because people didn't like the game, it was too diffrent for them, the game didn't sell much so now ea will prolly never make another gw game, effectively killing the series
CHANDGED SO MUCH!!! all stars head is smaller roses eye doesn’t have her eye makeup anymore and superbrainz has a shield and citron has just ball shoot and no more laser and cactus fly and no tall nut battlement scientists eye diff and here’s 3 gay characters, electric slide oak and space cadet but that’s to me and chomper releases a fart and z mech is diff and flower doesn’t spawn a pot ( i think they were lazy for pot) and literally no giga Gargantuar for bfn and besides NO VARIANTS LIKE for example as a peashooter u can’t be a fire or ice or NONE and this is why I bought pvz gw2 on a ps5 and I was in good luck because it was a offer to June 6 that pvz gw2 was 6 dollars and I got to buy it on may 24th
So apparently an ex-employee that worked on the garden warfare games said Garden Warfare 2 had it’s updates stopped early to make a new game so they could add (and I kid you not) new ways to monetise the series. EA CANCELLED A LOVED AND ENJOYED GAME SO THEY COULD ADD MORE WAYS TO MAKE MONEY. But personally, I think there a few upsides to BFN, like the map designs, cosmetics, turf take over minigames, the upgrades system, and my favourite, the variety of UNIQUE characters. Not variants, I liked the unique characters that would come out around every 3 months, instead of having a reskin of a character that has a status effect that you had to wait months for.
@AzureWolf168 I think the game has emergent strategy, which the community often didn't give it enough of a chance to find. This is primarily because of the upgrade system. Humans easily abandon good things because it's not what they're used to, or they just can't envision what it's like. I personally dislike the addition of variants. On paper it seems great, but a lot of times it either has lead to only ever using one character and becoming obsessed with it, or only having a hollow sense of joy as you repeat the same steps over and over again with one slight change. You can never judge somethings quality based on the reactions of the masses, because most people aren't that rational. Finally variants did exactly what the extra characters did in bfn, there were just more of them. I understand enjoying the simplicity of exploring a premade experience, but the simple fact that you could do it longer it gw doesn't necessarily make it better. I had one friend who played all the way through gw2, every single character mastered. All the same, they got bored and left. It's a finite gameplay loop, and I would argue more so than being able to make your own using smaller components.
@AzureWolf168 I mean I think the ability to change and enhance a playstyle is better than just having a lot of them. If there were both, it would be great. But variants alone aren't as good as they're hyped up to be. Like not having 400-800 hours of content automatically makes it a bad game. I get that the extra mileage is good, but just having effectively a different set of guns for each character isn't the whole of what made the game successful.
nah bfn is good, its quite a different game from gw2, but i still like it, i think its main issues are lack of character variants and the fact that EA just stopped updating it after a year. lack of updates is what killed the gw franchise.
I don’t like how they removed character variants which made the game unique and fun to me. And the removal of sticker packs with a battle pass type of system was not the way to go. There are many more things that I didn’t really like but I miss the GW series maybe hopefully we can get the GW3 we wanted someday…
Nah these criticisms are horrible bro😭. Like I’m not saying the game is great or anything; I think it definitely had some problems with progression, but 90% of this is just “ew! This is different! Yucky!”🤓
Honesty, homeboy here sounds like he’s whining 😭 when he could’ve made more valid criticism in regards to the fact there ain’t no variants not the aspects that aren’t that bad
Bluds just hating the game is literally not that bad and honestly the designs look better and the graphics are good gameplay is way smoother so idk what this guy is on
@AzureWolf168 The game is literally about plants fighting zombies, I'm pretty sure it's meant to be really goofy. Also, I'm pretty sure the designs are based on the comics so that's why they look a bit strange.
Its not a gw game, ofc it looks different, and the otehr guy is right, just because its not dark doesnt mean its not good, people are just tok biased to realize what this game is without comparing it to the other games. Its a shooter game about plants and zombies, in no world is it meant to look serious. The comics design thing also still stands, and what if someone likes the goofy look. @AzureWolf168
@Azurethewolf168Bfn pve destroy gw2 one and the bfn artstyle fit the pvz perfectly. Gw2 artstyle try to be realistic and serious but we not gonna take à game with plant fighting zombie seriously. The shooter game are dead anyway no uptade only player coping about the game state
Its not that bad, it didnt kill the franchise lmao Edit: please quit replying to this comment, i made this when i was a lil younger and i do NOT want to keep getting notifications for this When i got my xbox at what i think was 9 years old??? This game was new, so this is the pvz shooter game i grew up playing. Gw2 is alot better in many aspects but its hard for someone not to side with what they played since the beginning yknow?
@AzureWolf168 people get bored of the same stuff over and over again. thats why less and less people are playing the games THATS what killing the franchise
Bro is hating cause it isnt gw2. The game looks better, dont lie to yourself, its balancing is better, the banning problem wasnt nearly as bad, the costumes look better, still added new characters, an actual good single player mode, and more. Like tell me rn who tf plays other gamemodes than team vanquish and turf. Their still in the game in private play. Btw the designs are based on pvz2 and the comics, so they look more accurate, cause why would they need to look the same as gw2 when this isnt a gw game. Did you forget this game is about plants fighting zombies, the characters looking goofy makes more sense. You are insanely biased. All your doing is hating for literally no reason. This game didn't kill the franchise. The stupid devs did.
I feel like you're hating on things that aren't even problematic. Literally no one had an issue with the way the game looked, other than you that is. I thought you would adress the actual problems, such as lack of advertisement, playtesting and EA just giving up on it.. You are, quite literally, hating for no reason.
BFN has its upsides tho, 1. Upgrades, 2. Plenty of characters, 3. Better graphic imo. However there is no variants and some classes weren’t added back. If you are a GW player coming to BFN, this game is gonna feel bad. But if you aren’t, it’s kinda the base gameplay of the PvZ shooters. BFN is different but I still have hope for the PvZ shooters
Okay but to be fair imp looks like a pug 😭😭 and rose??? She literally looks like she ate lead paint, like I get new graphics but they just made some of the characters just plain ugly
This game is bad but for basically none of the reasons in your video. The artsyle is a downgrade, but the whole ‘this feels like a mobile game’ feels like your just stretching, but I’d say what you said about the game trying to be satisfying but actually being the opposite is true. And yeah they butchered Ops, but you didn’t even mention that the dracula zombie doesn’t even spawn in vampires, difficulty is always locked to normal (no hard or crazy), and there is no espcape at the end.
I'd be fine with this game if they didn't have to ruin literally all the good characters from past PVZ games like, what have they done to my boy Citron?
There’s nothing wrong with graphics it’s a fun game annoyed they removed like fire chokper and plasma pea but it’s still an awesome game you obviously know nothing about PvZ stop hating on game you know nothing about
Just played it again in 2024, but it seems like I was missing something when I played last. Just don't hate yourself and everything around you. Once you let go of the frustration, after telling yourself why and how they don't matter, they go away. When you take this game for what it is, *shit's bussin.*
In terms of content, Garden Warfare wins, but in terms of gameplay, I think Battle for Neighborville is better. There so many QoL features that make BfN gameplay feel generally better in my opinion.
A majority of this video is spent complaining about mechanics and abilities that carried over from the second game, also the design of the game is legit just better both graphically and design wise, taking obvious inspiration from the first 2 and giving it a brighter color palette and giving the characters more character. The other games feel very dated to me and getting into a 7 year old game with 120 slight variations to the original classes isn't appealing whatsoever, this game could have been a lot more if the developers gave af but I still find bfn to be better gameplay wise
Why is my guy icky over every single little detail. From the different art style, the sound effects, the character design changes, the loading screen pop up, the main menu pop up, the ui elements, etc. i really actually like the art style
Im Sorry But I Have To Disagree, I Know You Hate It Because Of The Art Style, And Sounds, And The Outfits Equiped On The Characters, But I Like It, People Enjoy It Just To Shoot And Have Fun.
I completely agree and respect anyone who likes this game. The whole point of games is to like what you like and have fun. I personally like GW2 a lot better, but that's the thing, choices, you have different games to choose from, and we're not all gonna agree on everything. Play what you like and just have fun:)
I question why they got rid of Counts Vampire zombies, like yeah they weren’t that tough but it was the whole theme. Him just summoning bucket heads is weird I like peashooters more toonish design with Chickpea skin, though I’m not sure going for just customizations instead of variants is worth it. Here its just everyone plays the same but has a different costume
Never played the game before but I honestly think that the game is pretty good. Sure, Citron looks like he messed up in the future but other than him everything else is pretty good. The run mechanic really makes more characters balanced so Cactus can run and shoot instead of snipe and die
