Dear Moonshan, I know that what you said is your opinion, and you're entitled to it, but praising the game and saying it is perfect is not an opinion. As the game is not perfect. Like many others said, you're statement is very fanboy-ish. However, a fanboy would even be able to point out the game has flaws. Which you are seemingly incapable of doing. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as rude, but your logic doesn't make sense. Just because a game is free does not mean it is a perfect, flawless game. It's NOT worthy of the praise you are giving it. While yes, I do enjoy the game, and I am grateful for what Popcap has given us, I am still able to criticize the game, and see when something is wrong with it. Blindly worshiping it and treating it like a god among games is ridiculous and makes you extremely ignorant. Honestly, I keep saying this. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What part of that do you not understand? I never said that the game was perfect. I've learnt how to look at the beauty in things. I hate being negative and just want to enjoy life. I find picking off flaws depressing and a waste of time when you could enjoy all the good things. That's just me. You can't expect everyone to think like you and have the same opinions as you.

Beauty and quality aren't universal. Something that you find bad or unoriginal might be the best thing someone else has seen in their lives. And this is a game for God's sake, there are no morals involved. It isn't a sin or a crime to love a game.

Who are you to say it's not worthy of the priase I'm giving it? I'm sick and tired of people calling me ignorant and gullible just because I love this game so much. To be honest, love is always better than negativity and ranting about things. Can you just leave me alone and move on with your lives? Ignore Dekagamer. He wanted the game to end at 10 worlds! Oh, and you're not ignorant or gullible. 10 worlds is a good place to end the game. As much as you hate it, all good things must come to an end. If that doesn't happen, the game keeps going on, and loses creativity and declines in quality the longer it goes. And that's what happened. Look:

First 4 worlds: 7-8 free plants per world, along with an upgrade, and no new in-game purchases are added.

All subsequent worlds: 5-6 free plants per world, 2 paid plants per world, and no upgrades. Also bone-crushing difficulty.

The thing is, the game set up a story at the beginning, and I'm eager to see that story end. If they have no plans of ending that story, they shouldn't have set it up in the first place. Wanting the game to end doesn't mean you hate it. I like Metroid Prime, but it ends, and I feel a sense of happiness when I beat it, as all the hours I spent playing it have paid off with a satisfying ending. When you don't end a game, you never get the happiness that comes from beating it. You want to know another game that set up a plot, but never ended it? Angry Birds. The original Angry Birds game. Which has now fallen into obscurity, while it's subsequent spin-offs took over.

If that's TL;DR, how about this: Imagine if you're reading a book. You like the book, but what if it never ends? It's pages just keep going and there's never a conclusion? Not to mention if an author was continually writing that book, the story would get more repetitive, and more bland. That would be terrible. And it's the same case here. I will ONLY  accept the game ending if Popcap starts working on a PvZ3. What will the gimmick of the game be?
