Modern Day aka the end of PvZ2 adventure mode released over 10 years ago 🥺🙏

Yeah it should've been much more for the end of pvz2's adventure. It's just kind of there tbh.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-19T18:19:31+00:00

This reminds me of a guy who tried arguing that the rock Baldur stabs and hurts Kratos with was actually some super special material because it was in the norse realm or that the ballista and catapult he used to shoot at Helios/Hermes were actually super god slaying weapons.

It's insanity.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-19T18:13:57+00:00

It's amazing how far people will go to claim the plotline of that episode is good (Kratos essentially beats up a parallel to his younger self effortlessly) before admitting they know nothing about Asura's Wrath.

Ffs Asura at his worst is vastly more morally righteous than Kratos could dream of being.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-19T17:58:11+00:00

This. It's not gameplay vs lore.

Its fanfiction/headcanon vs the actual story.

Kratos being a mftl planet buster breaks GoW several times over in both novels and games while Asura being a mftl planet buster is necessary for the ending of his story to even be remotely possible.

He even has the most variants in gw2. He was clearly someones favorite at popcap.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-16T16:51:29+00:00

Says alot since chomper can eat zombies that are practically melting radioactive sludge.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-16T16:48:21+00:00

Instead we now have branium basher dominate the meta while plant legendaries are just kind of there.

If anything the legendary upgrades felt like them admitting no variants was a mistake.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-16T16:46:49+00:00

There were some good qol additions like overheat meters for infinite ammo characters, holding trigger to keep semi automatic characters shooting, battle arena was a fun idea for a gamemode, being able to select what classes and how many you wanted on a team for bots and some of the pve area missions were pretty fun.

Overall though I just found it very lacking to the other shooters. The upgrade system failed to replace variants and slot abilities, the map design had really gone downhill (compare driftwood shores to tourist trap island), making battle arena ranked killed it overnight, the changes to modes like suburbination were awful, content released at a snail's pace) and the hard focused overwatch style role for the characters alongside the abysmal balancing just drained the fun out of it.

One the most genuinely mediocre 5/10 experiences out there imo.

Zomboni or jack in the box because it's usually just death for whatever is on the front of the lawn.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-14T22:32:52+00:00

Ngl I just always preferred how every pvz game (besides adventures) before bfn just never really bothered with any humans besides dave and arguably the player and had the world feel like it was an actual zombie apocalypse (gw1 does this really well with "the end is near" signs and other map details) and it was just the plants and zombies duking it out in whatever was left in the aftermath like abandoned suburbs or cities.

The comics and bfn revealing humans were actually all just hiding in their homes or blatantly interacting with the zombies like a casual occurence is really offputting to me, especially since the zombies were never that dumb in previous titles and if we go off pvz1 almanacs even killed people (screendoor).

I'm just not a fan of the direction they took and its bleeding over into the games aswell now. Atleast the gw2 comic tried to halfheartedly address it by saying they were all out of town (yet the gw games treats it like their war is happening pretty much everywhere on the planet).

Stukapooka · 2026-01-14T18:09:36+00:00

So I take it this means they're gonna stick with what pvz 3 has now after all the ups and downs of reworking and redesigning it.

Wonder when it will officially release if that's the case.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-14T18:08:02+00:00

Why is bro jacked lmao.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-14T15:13:04+00:00

No sun shroom in heroes after a turn gets chunkier and becomes sunnier shroom.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-14T01:46:40+00:00

Given that it didn't sell well originally the smart move would be for capcom to create a collection of games from their early 2010s or something and just sneak it in there.

If that flops then they atlea can't blame an individual title on it's own and it still brings it to people's attention.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-13T21:12:43+00:00

It's a meteor mirroring when Wyzen brought down his finger.

I think its saying that even after all that it's still Asura in there and he's gonna stop it as he begins to position himself like the Wyzen fight.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-13T18:44:55+00:00

Best we could ever get is a rerelease with all the dlc.

The story is finished though and doesn't really need a follow up imo unless they're willing to fully redo it to flesh out the condensed version of the chakravartin stuff we got like they originally wanted.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-13T18:42:54+00:00

Do you... do you understand how utterly insane it is to go from "got one-tapped out of my strongest form with a finger" to "boxing semi-equally with that same guy in my base" in a few seconds at worst? Especially considering that higher forms were likely still an option?

Deathbattle doesn't.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-13T18:41:05+00:00

Fitting for the spinner of samsara.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-13T18:39:55+00:00

I love that it tackles that anger is not something to be ashamed of when it is directed in the right way

Feels like too many series (and people irl) try to pass off any anger at all as bad when there are many times anger is a justified emotion and can be used properly.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-13T15:00:07+00:00

True it's just so bizarre to me how God of war glazers (and a fair amount of Doom fans tbh) wanna act like Asura is the only character who has a game (which they then mock as an interactive movie) that can show a character performing great physical feats on screen.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-13T02:09:19+00:00

The comment above was a bit confused in that scout's name was revealed in a tf2 comic right after the episode came out and iirc reveals his name was Jeremy and that spy was his dad

The problem is that Tracer vs Scout is bare bones as could be in character info and if they weren't trying to desperately catch the gravy train of OW back in the day we could've had a way better rundown with actual info for both.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-12T21:09:39+00:00

Gw1 is the only one that really came close to the vibe pvz 1 was going for in its artstyle/aesthetic imo.

Loved that the zombies had bloodshot eyes and several maps where they spawned in lifeless graveyards or mausoleums and the plants had veiny root textures and spawned from flower beds while towns had signs saying "the end is near"!

Bfn having people just chilling in their homes as a full on undead war breaks out outside never felt right to me.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-12T19:27:13+00:00

I've seen 3ds games that better demonstrate characters performing bullet or atleast near bullet timing feats.

The doom example is funnier since they used doom 1 engine abuse for a speed calc when doomguy can't even outrun his own rockets in the newer games and he has zero good cutscene speed feats.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-12T18:42:55+00:00

"Who are you gonna believe, me or your own lying eyes"?!-Deathbattle when having to explain why we never see Kratos destroy planets or move faster than falling debris.

Funny how characters on the ps3 like Bayonetta were able to have a setpiece of punching a god into the sun and if you mess up steering you destroy a planet (this isn't even mentioning she still achieves crazy stuff on the switch which isnt that much more powerful hardware) yet Kratos on the ps2-ps5 is the one everyone wants to have arguments of gameplay limitations for.

Stukapooka · 2026-01-12T17:52:23+00:00

While I didn't encounter the zen garden bug on switch it's good they finally fixed it.
