Even Level 5 plants in the Chinese PVZ 2 wrecks Level 4 zombies and people are perfectly fine with it. For some reason, I only see people complaining on the international PvZ 2 threads. Because PvZ2 wasn't like "most games". Because it had things that separated it from 99% of crappy mobile games. Because it had a freemium system which didn't rely on grinding, pay-to-win, upgrading and excessive premium content. Exactly: "wasn't". But now it is part of that spectrum and really has been since the release of Modern Day Part 2. Because now it is part of that 99% crappy games but still good. Because it now has that system and crying over spilled milk will do you no good (unless there is some good I don't know about). Tower defense games has had these upgrade mechanics since forever and PvZ 2 incorporating this (though in a forced way) is nothing new. If there is a PvZ 3 ever, you can bet that these things will be a part of it somewhere down the line again.

This is a serious problem with you people. You rely either on the past heavily or have played so little games that these things come off as a shock to you and then you people start a riot. What's done is done and there's no way to revert it back. I have issues about the game and they will never be fixed so I had to deal with it. Same with you people. There's nothing you can do except for leave and play other games or play nothing at all or install an older version and play that one. I guess I see your point. There were things that you weren't happy about but you dealt with it. I guess I will have to do the same or just quit playing the game. Sigh. I never thought it would come to this point.

You're right, I haven't played that many games before, specifically mobile games with a pay to win model. I always loved the first PvZ, it was so fresh, fun, addictive and interesting. It was my favourite game ever. Then they revealed that PvZ 2 was going to be a mobile game and I complained a lot at the beginning which now I heavily regret. I loved PvZ 2, I played it on bluestacks and then on my new phone. Now it's just not the same anymore. Like you said, it's like any other bad mobile game, it feels really forced and pay to win. I don't think I can adapt this time because it's just not fun for me anymore. PvZ 2 has lost its magic. Maybe one day in the future, I will come back to this game, I don't know.
