I think GW maps where better than GW 2's maps, mostly because they where full of mixed colors and it felt like you where in a actually normal American town
Agree, the maps were real good. To be honest though, the zombie turf maps actually fit the zombies and the plant ones, just meh. The non turf maps were pretty good but Colizeum and Time Park were kinda wack.
I love GW1 for the fact the plants and zombies felt like they had completely different classes whilst in the later games they tried to make plant versions of zombie classes and zombi versions of plant classes
@@Gremlor it’s not that they didn’t work as characters because I mean filling basic niches for both sides was important like deadbeard for example giving much needed long range and whilst I ADORE every character introduced kernel corn, citron and super brainz really do feel like the plant or zombie version of the opposite teams classes
@@TheCoolSuperPea Tbh I'm not sure why they didn't add the Bonk Choy as the melee class instead of the Chomper. I get that the Chomper was one of the Og plants but I feel like the Bonk Choy would have worked better as a melee class.

Well-edited entertaining analysis of the PvZ games is a topic in high demand and low supply. It’s nice to see someone pull it off right. Take my sub for your video- it was great. I’m sure that must have been a lot of editing but it was well worth it.
For 8yo me, PVZ GW2 was too much content, that’s why I loved this game so much more than the sequel, not saying GW2 is bad, just saying I played it too young to understand some aspects like the codes in Trials of Gnomus. Update September 1st, 2021: Hi guys, it’s me again, just coming back to say I have GW2 (because one day I was bored and bought it the same day). And now that I’m older, I do enjoy the game a lot more, does suck that I missed out on a lot of special events. Also I would like to answer some questions. In retrospect I shouldn’t have gotten rid of the game (GW2), I had the deluxe edition and all my characters from GW1, the reason I got rid of it was because I got bored and didn’t like grinding for stars and doing a lot of codes and hard quests (I was a dumbass and never bothered to change the difficulty). And I also got the Z7 statue and still have it (Statue number: 1370 of 5000). I always knew that GW1 wasn’t the superior game, and I knew that when I bought GW1 back in January of 2021 to revisit my childhood, I only did it to unlock all the characters, play the game, and that’s it. I dropped it after awhile and now have GW2. And now I’m working on GW2. That’s all I’m gonna say for now, peace ✌🏻.
Me too , I had no idea how to get party characters or legendarys and only knew that trials of gnomus existed , had no idea how to unlock it or it gave you torchwood and hovergoat
i disagree but i can understand from a child’s stand point, you say your were eight and eight year old me would’ve been like “what’s this. i just wanna make funny green man go pew pew”
I bought this for my 5 year old son and I actually played it more than him.. When he would go to bed I would be up til the early hours playing lol Love this game, the maps are definitely the best in the series imo 😀👍
I got to admit this game has more heart and love than its squeal just the art style the music just it has the nostalgia feel to it that makes me go back to it. The maps are so rememberable especially those night time versions. The game is just more fair and doesn’t have broken characters that make the game unfair (looking out you Torchwood and Toxic Brainz).
GW1 was like lightning in a bottle for me. A few games blew me away throughout my life. EQOA, Socom, the RE Outbreak games and Garden Warfare 1. 3 out of the 4 of those games were underappreciated.
Gw1 is arguably more unbalanced lol, Super commando having 4 shots per clip, agent pea having 125 health, Toxic pea's splash, Fire chomper, just fire chomper, and a shit ton more, though gw2 isn't much better, they at least nerfed all of the characters mentioned above despite 2 still being S tier, also while there are a lot of broken characters in gw2, like e-pea, most of the broken gw2 characters came over from gw1, most of the newer variante outiside of e-pea, Z7 and a few others are all relatively balanced, as for the 2 character you mentioned, toxic brainz is only really broken in herbal assault, where he can farm his mode with weeds, his base is atrocious to make up for his insane mode, so I can see why you added him, but torchwood is really just mediocre lol, I would have rather said e-pea and Z7 imp and maybe even captain cannon.
Wow i didn't expect this.... now you got tabs and pvz content on your chanel, i like both games soooooo this is just a coool evolution to the chanel :))
The gardens and graveyards maps in gw1 were AMAZING. They flowed so well and offered so much for the play style of every class. Also the ending objectives were so much more than minigames, they were epic battles! The lighthouse objective,for example, was on its own island that the zombies had to launch themselves onto out of cannons while the plants could man giant potted flower turrets that acted as AA guns to shoot the zombies out of the sky. Attacking the mansion made you move up the driveway on multiple different lanes with cannons at the top of each lane that would fire walnuts to roll down the hill and crush zombies. These special turrets and items could also be destroyed making them sort of mini objectives. This game was great.
You've gained an ally, driftwood shores was by far the best and most memorable map in any of the pvzgw games. Also, it made me so happy to go into Pvzgw2 blindly my first time, and find the Mega Flower light house placeable.
This and and gw2 were so good that when the third game in the pvz fps category came out, people fell back to to the originala after like a week, and you still find full servers years later. This game cannot be killed its that good.
I consistently come back to this game every few months because of how much raw fun it is. Especially when you're playing splitscreen turf with your friends or family.
we need to spread the word on how good this game really was, it was unbelievably slept on, imagine if this game had also come out on steam for and made cross-platform I think it could've been huge
i remember rewatching every trailer this game had before it came out and me and a couple of my friends were hyped as fuck for it. it was actually quite sad how much we liked pvz
Perfect analysis of the game I would say. I do remember having so much fun playing the first garden warfare, and that's part of the reason why I'd come back to it, its just a shame because no one plays this game anymore, so I can't come back to it. And there's no chance I'm playing garden ops, that's not where I got all my memories of this game from.
My favourite map is Cactus Canyon (Night). I LOVE the feel of the map. The lighting is really great, and the terrain's awesome too, especially at the first and third gardens. Crash Course is also a very fun Garden Ops / Team Vanquish map!
This is the game that actually introduced me into the 8th gen consoles. I thought it was amazing when it first came out, but now that I have unlocked everything, it’s not as breathtaking as I used to see it. Still, I occasionally come back for nostalgia and to just enjoy the fun. Honestly, looking back on it, it’s definitely a little overrated but it’s still an incredible game. It lacked severally in terms of content, but the gameplay and mechanics were what really brought it together. It was really more of a roadmap for Garden Warfare 2 which, in my opinion, is the entire PvZ franchise at it’s finest. Final score 9/10.
@@jeffman2471 Neighborville is the Worst out of the 3 then GW2 and GW1 could be argued for number 1, but personally I like GW1 more just because of the Atmosphere and the Good Maps they had
Dude when you went over Chester Chomper I damn well nearly jumped out of my chair from happy excitement. God the nostalgia from childhood hit differently just then
This game gives me a happiness I can’t explain.. not sure if that summer of 2017 or 2018 was a good time in my life or if I genuinely really enjoyed the game, prolly a mix of the two. Game is just a vibe with an unmatched and unique art-style and an elite soundtrack. Will always love this game and go back from time to time.
Dude the sponsored characters were some of the most unique ways I have ever seen a sponsorship be advertised, and I really wish they had made a return in GW2
this game was an masterpiece, i remember getting the game a year later or so after its release for 360, i non stopped played it. before going too school i played, got home from school i played. i have two account that are lvl 100+ god, it was the best and the most i had fun ever in gaming.
For me Painter Engineer And Astronaut Scientist were so damn good, Both being mid to long range options. They were a lot of fun for me to play specially in Gardens and graveyards where i rushed to the teleporter to build it and set up the sentries
Painter is super hard to play as imo, and Astronaut I feel is super overrated. My favourite variants for each class are Soldier - Foot Soldier (I love not playing Supercommando at all, makes me feel good about myself not having to use an OP unit to do serious damage. Sometimes I choose Camo Ranger too.) Scientist - Palaeontologist (That fire damage is very helpful, so much so that he's viable at mid range too) Engineer - Plumber (Just a direct improvement over the standard Engineer. I also like the Mechanic too.) All-Star: Golf Star (Very fun to play as, I’m surprised I see so few Golf Stars.) Peashooter - Peashooter (That 35 damage per shot is beautiful. Much better than Toxic Pea.) Chomper - Fire Chomper (The Flame Spray is CRAZY op. Not sure why they made it so powerful. People would rather play as Electric Chomper, but Idk why.) Sunflower - Mystic Flower (Most underrated variant in the ENTIRE game. Does a ridiculous amount of base damage for how quick it fires, and it can be charged too.) Cactus - Cactus (Standard cactus is just my kind of character. VERY satisfying, and the variants don’t really come close imo. Good close range too. Not even kidding.) What are your favourite classes? :)
Garden warfare is the most nostalgic plants vs zombies game to me, there isn’t really much competition But I would say cactus canyon or Main Street are my favorite maps throughout garden warfare, I love the aesthetic of fighting through a city and being able to take so many different paths through all the buildings and stuff
Why is this youtuber so underrated? This game was legit my childhood. I played Garden-Ops a bunch, and it’s good to see it still getting players. I’m planning on getting it again in a month or two. I always wanted the plasma pea and kinda sad I didn’t get it, hopefully I get it this time.
I used to prefer this over GW1 because of maps and cosmetics. But tbh, i prefer GW2 in gameplay. And GW1 for nostalgia and cosmetics, plus maps. So yeah equaled out. I just wished Pop Cap made a GW3 that united the GW1 and GW2 and extended beyond limits. But then we got BFN, great way to go Pocap.
Time park in gardens and graveyards is absolutely my favorite map in gw2 the end segment with the music and utter chaos unfolding as your team either makes it to or defends the castle is just so fun to me (idk if anyone else feels the same)
Same I am getting back into the game after years of not playing it since my old ps3 broke (I have a new one), and dang there is a lot of people still playing nowadays!
all the people saying this game was their childhood are so young :D i remember pvz gw being released, i was on the 8th grade... im literally 21yrs old rn :D
Great video Actually, I managed to play a lot all of the game modes (from PS3)(Maybe the ones with gnomes or Tacos a little less) without having to wait too much, and I really feel like the sequel wasn't as good as this. I haven't played them for years so I am nor sure I'm actually able to explain why, but I felt like the first one was more clear and had more identity, with each subclass really feeling unique So yeah, this is a game I loved and probabily the FPS I spent the most hours on
I wish Gw1 would get a proper remaster, the maps are so fun and the art style although only slightly different from GW2 feels miles different, in my opinion. Also I think GW1 had way better customization/designs. For examine the customization “sets” and Plasma Pea in general were huge downgrades in GW2. Maybe if they did Garden Warfare ultimate edition where it mishmashed both games together and brought back all the variants and customization. I know there’s the whole deal with the new characters not fitting in the old maps but I don’t think that would be a problem so long as the Gw2 variants are still usable. That with a bunch of QoL (like bringing back specific packs so you got yo bling in one pack and yo regulars in the other, maybe renovating so characters fit, balance changes, and of course new additions) and there is a PROPER remaster to some of the best games I have ever played. Edit: Hell, they could go really crazy and do some out there changes too. I really loved the idea of tv head and wildflower from bfn and think they’d fit well in the Garden Warfare games. I feel it was easy to hate them in that dumpster fire game but having a class that is the exact same on both sides really compliments the complexity of GW. It fits a niche nicely and I could totally picture them alongside the original GW cast no problem.
I bought GW2 for PC last year, I have 6h in it Meanwhile on PS3 GW1 I have 200h I think that the problem is that there arent that many "OG" maps and graphics
oh man 13yo me was addicted to this game, hands down one of the most fun i've had with an online videogame ever, it's just pure joy. My favorite strat was to either get into sneaky spots with the cactus drone, or to strategically ambush people with the motorized carnivour plant, and use the speed boost to quickly move to another position or to try to eat a nearby target. Soooo much fun, i had fun with all the modes and it's very sad to see it become less popular. thanks for the vid!!
This game is so underrated. I miss playing these games, I had so much fun. These are one of my favorite shooters of all time, bfn was just disappointing IMO. Bfn isn’t close to gw2 and gw1. I wish they can make another game
This is a fantastic video, and really brought me back to my childhood. Garden Warfare my first game for my ps4, and I played it for so, so long. So seeing this game pop up in a (kinda) recent video just makes me so so happy. Man.. I wish this game never died.
I remember when there was a vote to put a gw1 map into gw2 - and everyone voted for wallnut hills! Wallnut hills!? Driftwood shores gang will have to hold out a little longer
I remember grinding up to 313 to get the unicorn chomper in GW2. It was so much fun playing early on because of how uncommon of a character is was. I remember teammates calling me out for cheating because the unicorn chompers unique ability was a short warp forward rather than a burrow. This video is just a tsunami of nostalgia and I love it. And the chemist is the best character in the whole game, don't @ me.
Cheetos variants are so damn funny i want them in gw3 if there is ever a gw3, thats honestly one of the main reason i come back to gw1 + the nostalgia of course ;)
@@facebookman5604 Well technically no, battle for neighbor ville isn't garden warfare, that's the thing that most ppl don't get the reason why neighbor ville is different is BC they wanted to experiment and go out of the formula, neighbor ville was never going to be gw3 but could have becomed if we liked it
Dude the nostalgia. I absolutely LOVED this when i was a little kid. I would coke home from school, get on the PS3, and play for as long as possible. Lol
There are two good reasons to come back to Garden Warfare 1: Driftwood Shores Main Street I miss the map design of the first game so much, GW2 really would feel like the wholesale crowning achievement of the series if not for the fact that so many of the maps just suck to play on. And of all the GW1 maps they brought over...Wallnut Hills, really.
Great game. Same can be said with BFN and GW2. GW2s Characters didn’t exactly work well imo. Before Citron and Super Brainz nerf. Super Brainz was better at Sniping than Melee and Citron despite being a Tank for the Plant Team had Insane Mobility. Rose outside of Turf Takeover wasn’t really a Support and was really Braindead before. Just look at the Zombie thanks to her Homing. Jump constantly and congratulations! You just played Rose! But anyways I think I’m talking too much
I remember when this game was first released I had no idea what I was doing so I played garden ops as citrus cactus in one of the most close range maps
This was the game of my childhood. I played it on a playstation 3 when i was 7-8 and stopped playing when i was 11 or 12. It was much better then pvz 2 and battle for neighborville as the players were actually mainly players and not bots
This game and Need for Speed Most Wanted (2012) are the two most fun games I played on my xbox 360 during my teen years and where I made some amazing friends online 😂

This and and gw2 were so good that when the third game in the pvz fps category came out, people fell back to to the originala after like a week, and you still find full servers years later. This game cannot be killed its that good.
I consistently come back to this game every few months because of how much raw fun it is.
Especially when you're playing splitscreen turf with your friends or family.
Finally someone says that driftwood shores was the best gardens and graveyards map in both games I totally agree so much nostalgia
this brings back so many memories, I don't even know how many hours I spent playing this game
I remember playing as crazy Dave and being able to shoot air strikes to save plants, was that removed or is that good old memory just a dream I had
I remember it too
Dave is still playable the last time I checked
its still in the game. i though he mentioned it in the video
we need to spread the word on how good this game really was, it was unbelievably slept on, imagine if this game had also come out on steam for and made cross-platform I think it could've been huge
I share the same story i got back home from my elementary school and went straight up to play GW1.
Same here!
Same i would kick ass i got a 112 killstreak with agent pea in garden and graveyards
I will always remember the day I got a glitch and became a plant on the zombies team, this game got me into gaming and it is a masterpiece
i remember rewatching every trailer this game had before it came out and me and a couple of my friends were hyped as fuck for it.
it was actually quite sad how much we liked pvz
Perfect analysis of the game I would say. I do remember having so much fun playing the first garden warfare, and that's part of the reason why I'd come back to it, its just a shame because no one plays this game anymore, so I can't come back to it. And there's no chance I'm playing garden ops, that's not where I got all my memories of this game from.
Main street is my favorite G&G map but Driftwood shores is a dangerously close second
Same here!
My favourite map is Cactus Canyon (Night). I LOVE the feel of the map. The lighting is really great, and the terrain's awesome too, especially at the first and third gardens. Crash Course is also a very fun Garden Ops / Team Vanquish map!
This is the game that actually introduced me into the 8th gen consoles. I thought it was amazing when it first came out, but now that I have unlocked everything, it’s not as breathtaking as I used to see it. Still, I occasionally come back for nostalgia and to just enjoy the fun. Honestly, looking back on it, it’s definitely a little overrated but it’s still an incredible game. It lacked severally in terms of content, but the gameplay and mechanics were what really brought it together. It was really more of a roadmap for Garden Warfare 2 which, in my opinion, is the entire PvZ franchise at it’s finest. Final score 9/10.
I never knew I would ever hear "Sonic the Hedgepea", but I like it.
I wish if they ever do a third one that it's a mix of the first two games. With the original artstyle
I never played the first one, was it better than the second and neighborville?
@@jeffman2471 Neighborville is the Worst out of the 3 then GW2 and GW1 could be argued for number 1, but personally I like GW1 more just because of the Atmosphere and the Good Maps they had
Dude when you went over Chester Chomper I damn well nearly jumped out of my chair from happy excitement. God the nostalgia from childhood hit differently just then
This game gives me a happiness I can’t explain.. not sure if that summer of 2017 or 2018 was a good time in my life or if I genuinely really enjoyed the game, prolly a mix of the two. Game is just a vibe with an unmatched and unique art-style and an elite soundtrack. Will always love this game and go back from time to time.
I played this game when I was 5 and I did not know you could be a zombie in this game until a year later
Damn that sucks bro😂
my dad was the one who played it andhe had to ask a friend how to be a zombie, thats the reason we have ps plus now
Dude the sponsored characters were some of the most unique ways I have ever seen a sponsorship be advertised, and I really wish they had made a return in GW2
The Cheetah Healing Station is STILL the most OP thing in PvZ history.
this game was an masterpiece, i remember getting the game a year later or so after its release for 360, i non stopped played it. before going too school i played, got home from school i played. i have two account that are lvl 100+ god, it was the best and the most i had fun ever in gaming.
For me Painter Engineer And Astronaut Scientist were so damn good, Both being mid to long range options. They were a lot of fun for me to play specially in Gardens and graveyards where i rushed to the teleporter to build it and set up the sentries
Painter is super hard to play as imo, and Astronaut I feel is super overrated. My favourite variants for each class are
Soldier - Foot Soldier (I love not playing Supercommando at all, makes me feel good about myself not having to use an OP unit to do serious damage. Sometimes I choose Camo Ranger too.)
Scientist - Palaeontologist (That fire damage is very helpful, so much so that he's viable at mid range too)
Engineer - Plumber (Just a direct improvement over the standard Engineer. I also like the Mechanic too.)
All-Star: Golf Star (Very fun to play as, I’m surprised I see so few Golf Stars.)
Peashooter - Peashooter (That 35 damage per shot is beautiful. Much better than Toxic Pea.)
Chomper - Fire Chomper (The Flame Spray is CRAZY op. Not sure why they made it so powerful. People would rather play as Electric Chomper, but Idk why.)
Sunflower - Mystic Flower (Most underrated variant in the ENTIRE game. Does a ridiculous amount of base damage for how quick it fires, and it can be charged too.)
Cactus - Cactus (Standard cactus is just my kind of character. VERY satisfying, and the variants don’t really come close imo. Good close range too. Not even kidding.)
What are your favourite classes? :)
Garden warfare is the most nostalgic plants vs zombies game to me, there isn’t really much competition
But I would say cactus canyon or Main Street are my favorite maps throughout garden warfare, I love the aesthetic of fighting through a city and being able to take so many different paths through all the buildings and stuff
I love bossmode, wish they had updated it and gave the boss more things to do.
Bro me and my neighbor hung out on PVZ garden warfare all day just sitting on the xbox. Oh man the memories
i remember grinding for 3 years day and night until i reached max lv 313 thats when i played on ps3 now i forgot my account and then i play on xbox :p
Why is this youtuber so underrated? This game was legit my childhood. I played Garden-Ops a bunch, and it’s good to see it still getting players. I’m planning on getting it again in a month or two. I always wanted the plasma pea and kinda sad I didn’t get it, hopefully I get it this time.
One of the first ones I got was Plasma pea.
@@yourlocalterrariamage2046 is plasma pea on the ps4? I can’t find any dlc I just downloaded it an hour ago and it let me in but it’s still loading
@@kashers6176 I don’t know I had it on Ps3
Hey, if you play on Xbox it’s on sale right now for $4.99 CAD. I just got back into playing it and the servers are always full!
@@bentd4526 damn, I bought it on the ps4 for 20. still a good price for a game as fun as it is
I used to prefer this over GW1 because of maps and cosmetics. But tbh, i prefer GW2 in gameplay. And GW1 for nostalgia and cosmetics, plus maps. So yeah equaled out. I just wished Pop Cap made a GW3 that united the GW1 and GW2 and extended beyond limits.
But then we got BFN, great way to go Pocap.
I wanted gw3 to be fully open world and bigger than the bfn pve regions and gw2 suburbia
@Zach Watering The multiplayer portal would be at the spawn area
Time park in gardens and graveyards is absolutely my favorite map in gw2 the end segment with the music and utter chaos unfolding as your team either makes it to or defends the castle is just so fun to me (idk if anyone else feels the same)
They need to remastere Garden Warfare 1.
I don’t even think they need too. Just make re-release at this point, the graphics still hold up because of its cartoony style
I remember playing the gnome bomb and the taco game mode surprised it’s completely dead now they used to be one of my favorite ones
The Aquafina characters were at least fruit related
But thats not fruits vs zombies it is plants vs zombies
@@peashooteranimations8082 and?
@@peashooteranimations8082 so berries and oranges arent plants?
@@hattedmoron555 they were never plants
@@peashooteranimations8082 fruits come from plants, in the 1st game there was melon pults and cherry bombs
As of 2022 I still play gw1 on the ps3 and it's popping with people full lobbies sometimes I forget I'm on the ps3
Same
I am getting back into the game after years of not playing it since my old ps3 broke (I have a new one), and dang there is a lot of people still playing nowadays!
all the people saying this game was their childhood are so young :D i remember pvz gw being released, i was on the 8th grade... im literally 21yrs old rn :D
Same, no wonder I would be going 50 and 3 some games
Great video
Actually, I managed to play a lot all of the game modes (from PS3)(Maybe the ones with gnomes or Tacos a little less) without having to wait too much, and I really feel like the sequel wasn't as good as this.
I haven't played them for years so I am nor sure I'm actually able to explain why, but I felt like the first one was more clear and had more identity, with each subclass really feeling unique
So yeah, this is a game I loved and probabily the FPS I spent the most hours on
This game was also definitely playable on Xbox 360, cuz I spent hundreds of hours on it as a child
Same bro
coming back to this video and being back in these games for a year now I can't believe I played back when this game came out
gw2 and bfn I really enjoy
gw1 I need to mess around to have fun
I wish Gw1 would get a proper remaster, the maps are so fun and the art style although only slightly different from GW2 feels miles different, in my opinion. Also I think GW1 had way better customization/designs. For examine the customization “sets” and Plasma Pea in general were huge downgrades in GW2. Maybe if they did Garden Warfare ultimate edition where it mishmashed both games together and brought back all the variants and customization. I know there’s the whole deal with the new characters not fitting in the old maps but I don’t think that would be a problem so long as the Gw2 variants are still usable. That with a bunch of QoL (like bringing back specific packs so you got yo bling in one pack and yo regulars in the other, maybe renovating so characters fit, balance changes, and of course new additions) and there is a PROPER remaster to some of the best games I have ever played.
Edit: Hell, they could go really crazy and do some out there changes too. I really loved the idea of tv head and wildflower from bfn and think they’d fit well in the Garden Warfare games. I feel it was easy to hate them in that dumpster fire game but having a class that is the exact same on both sides really compliments the complexity of GW. It fits a niche nicely and I could totally picture them alongside the original GW cast no problem.
I would've been fine with old maps being remastered, as long as they didn't reuse gw2 music
@@poll1051 Fr Gw1 had some bangers!
@@notgabriel8624 Ikr seeds of time doesn't fit American neighborhoods at all
There are a lot of gw1 costumizations in gw2, they’re considered a “classic” and you can only get them from townhall and rux
I bought GW2 for PC last year, I have 6h in it
Meanwhile on PS3 GW1 I have 200h
I think that the problem is that there arent that many "OG" maps and graphics
I remember waking up early on Saturday just to play before my dad woke up and got on the xbox 😂
you can tell me whatever you want but gw1 looks really pretty.
oh man 13yo me was addicted to this game, hands down one of the most fun i've had with an online videogame ever, it's just pure joy. My favorite strat was to either get into sneaky spots with the cactus drone, or to strategically ambush people with the motorized carnivour plant, and use the speed boost to quickly move to another position or to try to eat a nearby target. Soooo much fun, i had fun with all the modes and it's very sad to see it become less popular. thanks for the vid!!
This game is so underrated. I miss playing these games, I had so much fun. These are one of my favorite shooters of all time, bfn was just disappointing IMO. Bfn isn’t close to gw2 and gw1. I wish they can make another game
This is a fantastic video, and really brought me back to my childhood.
Garden Warfare my first game for my ps4, and I played it for so, so long. So seeing this game pop up in a (kinda) recent video just makes me so so happy.
Man.. I wish this game never died.
It hasn't died. Only if you are on pc
12:09 Lol I actually do still get lobbies on Taco Bandits, I just got one today.
this is still one of my fav games ever i just remember coming Back from school and playing it 24/7
Popcap should absolutely remaster GW1. It'd be a good opportunity to fix and add certain things to make it feel complete and replayable.
It would bring a smile to my face seeing the player count of an old garden warfare be revived
@@name-cn4wv The original GW or a remastered version?
@@hyakodon mostly old but a remaster would be fine
Love it !! And the music ! Sad that EA stopped it
I remember when there was a vote to put a gw1 map into gw2 - and everyone voted for wallnut hills! Wallnut hills!? Driftwood shores gang will have to hold out a little longer
@@lceGhost It’s called unpopular and an opinion for a reason i guess lmao
I think everyone voted for Wallnut Hills because of how broken the Enegry Warp is to make it instant wins for the Zombies.
*Sad Cactus Canyon being best map noises*
I remember grinding up to 313 to get the unicorn chomper in GW2. It was so much fun playing early on because of how uncommon of a character is was. I remember teammates calling me out for cheating because the unicorn chompers unique ability was a short warp forward rather than a burrow. This video is just a tsunami of nostalgia and I love it.
And the chemist is the best character in the whole game, don't @ me.
There is a good reason to come and play again: nostalgia
And all the dlc characters
And the music
Cheetos variants are so damn funny i want them in gw3 if there is ever a gw3, thats honestly one of the main reason i come back to gw1 + the nostalgia of course ;)
@@ttgconcepts they probably won’t because they’re dlc, so they don’t have a permit anymore
@@ttgconcepts there already is garden warfare 3 and they removed variants
@@facebookman5604 Well technically no, battle for neighbor ville isn't garden warfare, that's the thing that most ppl don't get the reason why neighbor ville is different is BC they wanted to experiment and go out of the formula, neighbor ville was never going to be gw3 but could have becomed if we liked it
@@facebookman5604 BFN is a PvZ shooter game not a sequel to the popular game PvZ GW2
This is gaming's hidden Mona Lisa. This was like saint Helena finding the true cross when you first played this game.
Glad i grew up with this: *PVZ GW1*
And not this: *PVZ BFN*
when i played this game and gw2 i was like 8 or 9 and I didn't know you could put upgrades on the characters, and in bfn I finally realized
This is the first fps I have ever played
Dude the nostalgia. I absolutely LOVED this when i was a little kid. I would coke home from school, get on the PS3, and play for as long as possible. Lol
This game will always have a special place in my heart.
There are two good reasons to come back to Garden Warfare 1:
Driftwood Shores
Main Street
I miss the map design of the first game so much, GW2 really would feel like the wholesale crowning achievement of the series if not for the fact that so many of the maps just suck to play on. And of all the GW1 maps they brought over...Wallnut Hills, really.
Both GW 1 and 2 were amazing for me, though og GW beats out the sequel
I wish I had pvz gw 1 ever since I was a 6 yo kid, now I'm 15 and I still have this burning love for it (pvzgw 1 cuz Berry pea got removed in gw 2)
Great game. Same can be said with BFN and GW2. GW2s Characters didn’t exactly work well imo. Before Citron and Super Brainz nerf. Super Brainz was better at Sniping than Melee and Citron despite being a Tank for the Plant Team had Insane Mobility. Rose outside of Turf Takeover wasn’t really a Support and was really Braindead before. Just look at the Zombie thanks to her Homing. Jump constantly and congratulations! You just played Rose! But anyways I think I’m talking too much
Hey I wonder what is BFN Soldier's new DPS after the patch
Nicky Tembo Foot Soldiers Damage per bullet remains the same but the nerf is technically a decrease to his Base DPS. So his DPS now is 52
TJS0726 PVZ wait 52 as in for the Body or the Head?
Nicky Tembo for the Body. His critical DPS is still 64
Citron wasnt really a tank in gw2 more of a hit and run
This was my first game I ever played. And I still play it to this day.
#ShadowFlowerGang
This game reminds me back in 2017 I use to play gw1 alot and through the years I haven't stop playing it gives me nostalgic
but can we talk about how much easier it is to level up in gw2?
Yep
Gotta say, I loved the Cheeto characters in GW1
Neither it was a masterpiece
GW was my childhood and almost got tears in my eyes bc i got flashbacks and i used to play all day long
I remember when this game was first released I had no idea what I was doing so I played garden ops as citrus cactus in one of the most close range maps
This was the game of my childhood. I played it on a playstation 3 when i was 7-8 and stopped playing when i was 11 or 12. It was much better then pvz 2 and battle for neighborville as the players were actually mainly players and not bots
This game and Need for Speed Most Wanted (2012) are the two most fun games I played on my xbox 360 during my teen years and where I made some amazing friends online 😂
I've had this game for like 5 years and every time I play it I feel sooooo nostalgic
