  • Plants vs Zombies and its sequels have spanned over a decade of continuous development, with the cast of plants being drastically changed and altered over time to meet the demands of new games and updates. Often, analysing how plants have changed over time really puts in to perspective how much the franchise has changed in its over 15 year run.
    The plant we’ll be looking at today is none other than Snow Pea, a plant who’s undergone one of the biggest glow ups and glow downs of the entire plant cast. So how exactly has this plant experienced such a turbulent roller coaster ride of changes and transformations? How did it go from completely OP to painfully average? Well, lets chronologically analyse the history of Snow Pea in the mainline Plants vs Zombies games!

    12:24 Snow pea doing half as much damage per second but slowing by 50% is still useful, if you have both a snowpea and a peashooter it will be like having three peashooters because the peashooter is double as effective, this sounds like a good change to me as it makes the snow peas by themselves no more than a regular peashooter but in concert with other plants is where they exceed, though I have not played the game so I can't know.

    • @WillMAW2
      @WillMAW2 Před 4 dny

      my thoughts exactly, it seems very dismissive to just say that pvz3 snow pea is weak sauce if the effective power is practically equivalent to a peashooter and slowing down zombies boosts the effective damage of other plants too

    • @flameofthephoenix8395
      @flameofthephoenix8395 Před 3 dny

      @@WillMAW2 Yes, however this does seem to imply there is a focus more on strategy for this game, in which case they've failed miserably. They need more unique functions for plants to do, niche ones that only apply when paired with other plants/zombies, like a Bonk choy being able to team up with a nut defensive plant by having an ability with a cooldown where it can raise the nut up then drop it back down to smash zombies, perhaps every 30 seconds a Bonk choy could do this. These are the kinds of things they need to add to make more strategy.

    New series idea: no projectile shotting plants. So no shooters, catipults or similar plants. Ground based plants like spikeweed and explosives like Cherry Bomb and Potato Mine are allowed. If a plant uses itself for a attack, like Guaodile are also allowed. It may not shoot any projectiles though. Basicly anything airborne might count as a projectile

  • @sonicmeerkat
    @sonicmeerkat Před 3 dny

    i mean snowpea dealing less damage while costing the same isn't the worst, even in the first game you'd deal more damage per tile using 1 snowpea and 2 peashooters for only 25 extra sun compared to buying 2 snows, you only really used it for the slowing effect so making it cheaper is actually a considerable buff.
    the issue is actually the lack of plant selection, there is no risk reward between using another slot to increase your general damage verses taking another insta to deal with higher health zombies. pvz3 is a strategy game with its biggest strategic element removed, it's why i hate the locked and loaded stages in pvz2, they only really work as tutorials for new plants because you're so limited in options but pvz1 already shown you just give the plant when you actually need it, like cactus is a forgettable plant but you don't forget to use it cause when you unlock it there's baloon zombies next stage.
