I know that I am pretty late to the party here since PvZ 2 is like....8 years old but hey better late never! Any ways, PvZ 2 is the sequel to the hit PC/Mobile game Plants vs zombies. But PvZ 2 is basically the black sheep of the series were some people say it’s okay to the worst game in the series. But unfortunately the ladder has “criticisms” that are bull crap. PvZ 2 haters are also pretty annoying as the only criticism they have for the game is “it has micro transactions”. But that is for an other post, anyways let’s go through some of the hate PvZ 2 gets and why it’s completely unjustified
1. The OG plants are locked behind a paywall
Aaaaaand we’ve already got to a criticism that makes me roll my eyes. To me this just seems like people are nitpicking because of nostalgia. Also people are acting like ALL of the plants from the first game are locked behind a paywall when in reality you can get 90% of them just by playing adventure mod. And people say the prices are ridiculous but 7 dollars is not that expensive COME ON
2. EA sucks
*Face palms* you can’t judge a game’s quality based on the company that made it. I know that EA is known for killing companies, but stop using “Its made by EA” as an excuse to hate the game.
3. It has micro transactions
That are fairly easy to ignore. The micro transactions in pvz2, while kind of annoying at times aren’t shoved in your face 24/7 unlike most mobile games.
4. You can get the OG plants for free in PvZ 1
....is that why you play PvZ 1 now? Just because it’s sequel makes you pay for only 6 of them for only 7 dollars? I’m not trying to shame people for still playing PvZ 1 now but whenever some one says PvZ 1 is better because you can get OG plants for free it just makes me think that there nosltalgicly bias, and are just petty because they couldn’t 6 of the OG plants for free in PvZ 2. This is probably the worst and most unjust criticism that pvz 2 gets
5. So..... why did I make this post?
After all pvz 2 is 8 years old right now. Well most of the criticism that pvz 2 got rubbed me the wrong way. It just seemed like some of this hate was just bias are being plane unfair to the game. I’m not trying to say pvz 2 is perfect no no no far from it. In fact I have seen some criticism that is not being unfair to the game. Such as the adds, the unbalanced levelling system, the power ups and more. I just wanted to address the criticism that is just plane stupid
6. Conclusion
Srry if I came off a little bit.... mean in this post because that was not my intention. If you hate PvZ 2 and prefer the original than that is completely fine you can have your preferences. Just don’t be unfair to PvZ 2 or games made by EA in general. Anyways, bye!!!
