I Don't Like Modern PVZ2 Bringing Back PVZ1 Plants.

Modern PVZ2 is truly something special. It's an enigma in the gaming world, for real. Like, this game could have (and possibly should have) died years ago, but it's still hanging on by a thread to this day. And while that's normally commendable, I feel like that's lead to some... poor decisions being made in recent years to keep the game afloat. And the nostalgia pandering is, in my opinion, the worst of it.

[@JoseViktor4099]

For the Scaredy Shroom removal, one of the main reason why of this decision along a lot of shroom that as well got removed on DA was because a lot of Popcap Developers left PvZ2 during Dark Ages development. Thats also the reason for being the shortest world.

[@SylviaYSI]

Yeah, with that context it does make a lot more sense. Though I also feel like even back then, PopCap probably realized that Scaredy would have been a better Peashooter if he worked the same way that he did in PVZ1

[@Therevengeforget]

@@SylviaYSI That's... not exactly a high bar.

[@Duppling]

​@@TherevengeforgetI mean, if you take plant levels into account Peashooter kinda skyrockets in usefulness. Well, although at a pretty steady pace. Peashooter, along with the other plants you get in the tutorial, cost much less seed packets to level up. After playing for just a week and only doing pinata parties for ancient egypt, my Pea was already dealing more damage than Repeater for only 75 sun. Granted, Repeater now also deals more damage at the cost of 175, but it still makes the early game a breeze. Truly fitting of its role, ol' reliable.

[@Therevengeforget]

@@Duppling Leveling makes every plant reliable, that's not an excuse.

[@Duppling]

@@Therevengeforget ... Except every other plant besides the tutorial ones take MUCH longer to level up compared to pea. I actually decided to replay the game again and I got pea to level 5 in just 2 days. 2 days! Pea packets are extremely easy to come across compared to all other plants. Good luck doing that with literally anything else.

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

Trust me, you’re not the only one. It’s obvious that they’re only doing it as nostalgia bait, and they’re pretty open about it lol. I’m pretty sure they’ve had bundles offering MGP, Scaredy Shroom, and I forget what else, and labeled it as a “Nostalgia Bundle.” They really should have pulled the plug on PvZ2 a long time ago, because this is starting to get even more sad than it was before.

[@Azurethewolf168]

Nah i don’t think they should’ve pulled it, because we wouldn’t have ANY new content being made in any popcap game then. I’m glad they’re atleast keeping it alive after so long. In recent updates it seems they’re trying a lot harder and are doing the best they can, I can only hope that they’ll once get back to the production quality they had years ago when they were way bigger. Right now is just a low point for popcap.

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

@@Azurethewolf168 I mean, even with the “trying harder,” with each update, the game loses quality. What I should have clarified is that they should cut content updates in PvZ2 so they can focus more on PvZ3 and get it out. At least there they have an excuse for the different artstyle.

There hasn’t been any work done for Sea-Shroom sense it’s design got leaked… so yeah it’s definitely scrapped at this point. (Also before anyone mentions Nightcap being leaked long before she got added. Just note that Nightcap actively got changed and worked on in each patch, while Sea Shroom isn’t even a plant in the files, it’s only a Seed Packet image.)

@@drago252 for the first one you mentioned. thing is. Nightcap is a very complex plant with multiple entirely brand new abilities they had to program.

As for the puddles and potholes, I have no idea what those are for. but I highly doubt it’s for Sea Shroom. Maybe their an attempt to make Sea Flora not useless in their eyes (which wouldn’t work sense Sea Flora is trash but that’s besides the point) or they might be trying to make more water plants (dear god please no) either way, Sea Shroom probably isn’t happening. It could happen. Wouldn’t put it past modern Popcap. But still, probably ain’t happening.

Well, the main reason why we got more PvZ1 returners is because as you said, PvZ2 is a decade old by now so they might be doing this to celebrate, the problem is the choice, they brought back Gatling Pea last year and then they went to the COMPLETE opposite of the scale and brought back Scaredy Shroom, made a design for Sea Shroom, and making a VASTLY reworked Ice Shroom for the next update, Doom Shroom would have been a better choice because we need SOME counter to the bullshit zombie spam of the later worlds, Gloom Shroom would have made a better choice and has actually been made into one of the best custom plants in recent time, the fucking UMBRELLA LEAF would have been a better choice when you take into consideration all of the zombies and projectiles that fall from above, it’s almost like Umbrella Leaf was MEANT for PvZ2 for god's sakes!

@@Damian-cilr2 In PvZ 1 it is usable despite being so severely flawed, As such while it is by no means OP or even one of the best options, It has a legitimate place in the game, It just has competition that's arguably better. In PvZ2 they made an entire event to show off the plant, And it was bad even in the levels tailor made for it. The only good thing about it is that it's significantly cheaper than peashooter, Which is a trait only useful in dark ages endless mode, Which also has Jester, the one zombie scaredy shroom is most useless against.

I agree with your video 100% but some of the returning plants personally I don't have a problem with them like the gatling pea and cattail for example and some of them might get a buff or a different power like ice shroom being a moon flower for ice plants but my problem is how they are introduced as a premium plant that make them less useful overful and also the animation and style is going low quality in the recents which will make the returning plants overall fell worse if those new plants/returnig plants have a purpose in a new world designed for them with better visual and animation I think the community will happily accept them (like the umbrella leaf defend from multiple obstacles and zombies in that world it was designed for) but for now It's totally annoying how they use nostalagia bait for money and we all agree if gold magnet makes a return in pvz2 we would literally lose our minds 🤣

Seeing the talk in the comments on Ice Shroom changing, if I were to change Scaredy Shroom, I would utilize some of the popular ideas in changing him such as higher hiding defense and shooting way faster when zombies are closer.

The thing about Scaredy-Shroom is that they DID have a good rework on it before. It's from the Garden Warfare games! That Scaredy-Shroom also hid when zombies are near but the point of it was that it was a high-damage, long range shooter (basically a sniper that cowers in fear when enemies are near) They could've easily implemented that in this game! Have Scaredy-Shroom's projectile do high damage, it takes long to fire between shots, the projectile travels down the path quick, and still hides as zombies come near

[@KiwiLuvsPieOfficial]

[@snowforest4473]

I agree with several points you made, like the high similarity between Gloom-shroom and Phat Beet (and oh hey, Phat Beet does not get hypnotized by the ballad) or how Scaredy wasn't released in Dark Ages. Even if he would have been added at that time, a rework on resistance boost when hiding would not make a big difference, but well, at least, yeah. About Sea-shroom, his ability is currently unknown. I'd leave it blank, and I think you should. Though, the rest in the international version, such as Ice-shroom, or (Mega) Gatling Pea. Did you notice the difference between Gatling Pea from the rest of his elder brothers and sister? He has a random chance to have the plant food effect. I don't know how appealing it sounds to you, but having a little surprise like this is sweet, especially for those who use him with Pea Vine and Torchwood during Arena when the Appease family does not get bruised *cough cough*. Ice-Shroom, have you checked over the upcoming content page? "Smashes zombies in melee range. Emits a chilling aura that both buffs nearby Winter-mint plants and chills zombies." Have you noticed how he functions differently from Iceberg Lettuce and Ice Bloom? P/S: Thanks for expressing your opinion. I like hearing it as watching through your video, but one thing, try to have a more balanced view. At least mentioning some efforts the developers make, rather than hiding them.

"He has ZERO PURPOSE." "He should SHOVEL HIMSELF UP NOW!"

[@baconaterlover5399]

Much like you’ve said, most pvz 1 plants that were left out post modern day don’t have a use. The only legacy plants I see functioning as they were in the original and still be useful are Pumpkin, Cob Cannon, and maybe Gatling Pea (and 2 of those 3 arlready exist). Other ones are outclassed by other similar plants (scaredy shroom, doom shroom, ice shroom, etc). Some would literally have no use (coffee bean, Plantern, flower pot) unless new world gimmicks were added. Now, I could see some legacy plants being added with a new use. Perhaps coffee bean is used to give plants a buff, or gold magnet being used to automatically grab sun (more useful for pc players), maybe even give plantern an aoe healing effect. However, at that point you might as well just develop a new plant. Popcap has got to do better than simple nostalgia bait.

[@ducklett01god]

[@CyleJoshuaReyes]

I guess you can see the differences of plants before the power mints/arena came out and after power mints/arena. The only exception to this probably would be pumpkin. Personally, I love PvZ2 because updates and new plants are still ongoing. And in my opinion, I think these plants were made for strategic purposes not meant for the adventure, but for other modes (e.g. penny's pursuit, travel log quests, endless zones, etc) and levels with objectives. For example, you can use scaredy-shroom, with its 25 sun cost, for objectives that requires not to spend too much sun, or if ail-mint plants are buffed. But I still get your point. 👍 And that is my opinion at least.

Honestly I don’t care, as long as the game keeps kicking I’m fine

[@GladSir]

They should have just fucking brought back the plants when the first pvz2 update was made

[@JoseViktor4099]

And btw, as an advice, I wouldn't put PvZ chinese as an example to follow, they put a lot of nostalgia content and made them extremely janky and inconsistent. Cob Cannon plant requierent was maintained for weird reasons, and the two spaces interactions are very weird. And let not even mention the OG Zombot, for the sake of god, if you saw it, you might wonder if thats was a 15 years old teen fanmade.

[@Beardash123]

The reasons why they made new plants : *microtransactions*

[@NOWNVATTU]

All these plants that aren't even good as premium yet still no new world? PvZ truly has fallen from grace

[@Angelina_foxy]

The fact that doom shroom is actually gonna be returning soon 💀💀💀

[@SpeedyNinja1152]

I like that they're returning PvZ 1 plants. I don't like when they make their PvZ 2 designs too different compared to their PvZ 1 designs.

[@Arthumgo]

Well, Ice-shroom function will be changed completely, so I'm olay with that. But Pop Cap bringing back Scaredy-shroom........ WHY?!?!

[@PlaneMusic46294]

the mega gatling pea is amazing better than the old one in pvz 1 it has more purpose to stay in the game

[@JessePinkmanMemeRv]

I think I just REALLY like mushrooms in pvz, but adding sea shroom was just pointless

[@Jhams009]

i honestly just want umbrella leaf cuz of its design, idk why but i find it so cute

[@aferblox664]

the real doomshroom is coming back at pvz2 now

[@BIGSHOT__1997]

I think there might be a new world. That's water based that isn't big bay beach

[@chaosthebaryonyx6344]

Why don't they bring heroes plants into the game? We never saw them in a tower defense game. And plants like pineclone could be very cool additions

[@That_OneGuy46]

The scaredy shroom implemented in the game looks like a W.I.P

[@Cherry-ee8rq]

I love scaredy shroom in pvz1 but in pvz2 there is literally no point when other plants are in the game

[@ZackTheTurtle]

bro Popcap India be keepin pvz 2 alive

[@Iru173]

7 month after this vid released Doom shroom is confirmed in pvz 2 leaked planr 💀

[@assypeachmusic1006]

they're coming back but at what cost if you gotta pay $847297481 dollars to get something you get for free on normal pvz

[@colekallis]

I love how scaredy shroom was removed from dark ages and is back just because they are so desperate

[@Igloos_are_piglues456]

can't wait for umbrella leaf and tree of wisdom

[@GoestiaDimas]

News flash: ice shroom no longer a single use and is a short range melee plant.

[@Tzenpes]

Man pvz1 i miss speedrunning and abusing gloomshroom

[@MainChannel9521]

One good thing about bringing back old plants is that now modders can use them easier

[@steffanjansson3092]

It's cool to see more realistic old plants from pvz1 in pvz2

[@clarkshark7597]

4:41 WE WILL MAKE THE DUME STRATEGY GRATE AGAIN for only $4.99

[@ElectricPeaPlayz]

sometimes i just wish we got new worlds so we can have more use of these plants and just more to do outside of arena. I know pennys pursuit exists but levelled zombies are a pain to fight also the single water level is butt to play

[@enzopereira2606]

My problem with them bringing back pvz1 plants is that current pvz2 have noticeable lower effort put into them. Scaredy shroom looks horrible in comparison to puff and fume shroom.

[@InterstellarDan-k8q]

The fact that I Play the OG versions of PvZ 2 well I used to before it updated like the doomshroom already came back so theoretically the gloom shroom would come next even though we have the gloom vine

[@AnotherLowQualityGaming]

I just like that I won't have to do the ratio math stuff to find out how many plants are in pvz that aren't in pvz2

[@GooberTunes]

Me when I see Night Shade: You serve zero purpose! You should shovel yourself now!

[@imspoilerina9228]

Scaredy Shroom’s new design is really bad. They removed all of the creativity of his old design from the first game, only to make him look like high asf and poor made… especially with those eyes… They should’ve just kept the eyes, the mouth, and the stem from the first game. They didn’t have to give him a major redesign like that. Popcat/EA pls don’t bring back classic PVZ 1 if you’re going to ruin their designs.

[@los-lobos]

As soon as they added Dazey Chain I knew they were going rogue

[@mayoDmayo]

I like the old plants returning because I get to do Pvz2 with only pvz1 plants run

[@Y.A.Y91659]

I guess you can say, it just works, little lies, little shows

[@agentray]

Ice shrooms abilities are completely different, did you not do any research or did you just assume what you think makes sense? Ice Shroom recieved an extremely heavy rework, smashing zombies in melee range, emitting a chilling aura AND boosts winter mint plants. And for sea Shroom, the new grid item known as "puddles" is probably what will come with sea Shroom and make sense if we can plant on it. So please do your research.

[@edenengland1883]

one fendamental issue i have with all arguments against PVZ1 plants returning is that they shouldve really been in the game from the start its like a 2d Mario game launching with only Luigi missing from the roster, and then having someone upset that Luigi is being added in an update, even with any flaws, Luigi by all means *should* be there and so his addition becomes justified

[@thewalkinglawn1954]

The thing about this is that PvZ 2 was long finished, and while I have no problem with the nostalgia plants, the amount of premiums have really just been ridiculous, if they wanted to add more plants, then might as well add more worlds, it will definitely make up for the bonus plants' lack of purpose in the game, by actually integrating them in the game. as simple as that.

[@marcusmaximusbarinos1549]

Its not lack of purpose, it adds more variation in the game since they have different prices and play style. Its also not easy to make new plants, considering the game already has 196 plants.

[@amog8235]

Just wait until they bring back Doom Shroom or Cob Cannon ;)

[@brilliant_Potato]

Even though I agree with what you say, Ice Shroom is being completely reworked and and we will get a new mechanic called "puddles" that apparently allow you to plant aquatic plants there.

[@PenPenPending]

To be honest my biggest issue is how they look. They failed to both capture the design of the origional plant AND fit it nicely into the style of PvZ2.

[@rgb8797]
