Bought it from there last night. Cheers.
This game releases on Thursday though? What the hell?
I thought it was Tuesday
. That sucks. I have Tuesday and Wednesday off work. Why are they releasing on such an odd day?

A lot of games are doing the whole daily login thing now which is a bit annoying. It is mostly F2P games though. Just spend a minute or two launching it while you are browsing GAF or heading to the bathroom.
For those of you who want to party hard.

I never preorder games, but I find myself sitting here, hovering over the "add to cart" button on Amazon. I had forgotten about the 20% Prime discount on preorder and new games, this is a real game changer (pardon the pun). I loved the first game but didn't have time to play the demo so I don't really know what to expect here.
I've been trying to rank up a bog standard imp who's now on level 8, but I've just unlocked a cool costume for him which has taken me all the way back down to rank 1
That's not a costume, that's a whole class variation
they have slight variations e.g their gun might fire slower but do more damage or apply a Fire damage over time etc.gameoverbro

Well I preordered after all. I didn't get a good vibe from the beta. To me it felt like modern warfare 2 with explosions going off everywhere. I hope those tweeks will help the game out a bit.

Oh really? Jesus, I feel like such a noob to all this (which I realise I am).
I've been trying to complete Garden Ops today on Frosty Creek for the daily challenge. It's only on normal and I still haven't managed it. I'm rubbish

Have you been building bots/plants in the plant pots around the defend point? They help quite a bit. Might be worth playing with other real players too rather than bots. If you're playing with bots try construct a decent team, e.g a tanky class, healer class, and more damage focused ones. Garden ops is great for rinsing through some of the challenges, e.g killing so many plants with a certain ability, because you can press up/down on the dpad to switch between the other 3 AI teammates so you can complete multiple quests in one session easily! I've found wave 10 on hard is near impossible to beat with 3 AI

You lose one pin per day that you don't play.

PC for sure.
It's a massive update from the first. No more clunky menus its all done within a huge open world split between plants, zombies a middle no-mans land area. There's also a ton of secrets to find and collectables, plus more characters and upgrades and game modes.
Oh that's not that bad of a punishment. But I don't think you get rewarded for leveling up do you?
I'm level 30 after playing for 5 hours.

No, I don't think so
Big or small pin?

Small, you lose 0.25 xp multiplier per day.

Splatoon would like a word with you, OP.
No, but in all seriousness, PvZ:GW is a fantastic game. I got into it a little late, but it's a heck of a lot of fun, and has been filling the hole Splatoon left in my heart since my Wii U Gamepad decided to stop working. Each side is unique in their own way, all the classes are fun to play with, and I'm a sucker for the level of personal customization and multiple sub-classes. Also, the Garden Ops mode is great; it's a perfect translation of the original game into a TPS environment. I was a bit worried about cards being necessary for it, but coins drop at a fair rate. Honestly, I'm shocked at how fun it ended up being. My siblings love the heck out of it, too. It's their first PC multiplayer shooter, and they've been having a blast with it.
The sequel only seems to improve on that, and it's got me a little curious. All of the new classes look like a lot of fun, and it seems as if they made the Garden Ops mode even beefier. I'm tempted to buy it sometime, but I don't know... does anyone else have a feeling that they're going to start pumping out sequels for Garden Warfare every few years? I mean, it's only been two years, and as great as 2 looks, It technically wasn't necessary (granted, as much as I want to believe it was made b/c the first was held back by last gen hardware, I don't think that was the case). I'll admit, I'm a bit tempted to hold off and wait for a potential third installment. I'm definitely not done playing with the first one yet.

Great OP! Loved the first game, can't wait to receive my copy of this one.
Do you need ps plus to play online? What about for a 2nd player on the same console?

Preordered this a couple of weeks ago. I thought they ditched the always online aspect though. Hope I don't kicked when playing Ops again.
Really looking forward to this. I did prefer the old characters when playing the beta. I wonder if that'll change.

That was awesome!
Putting pre-order in.
But it takes 5 smalls to add 0.25 doesn't it? Surely big pin would be 0.25? So how many days does it take from 2x XP to reset back to 1x - as I can't play now until Thursday when it releases in the UK because my trial expired

Oh I don't know then, I think you're right in this.

Thanks for the love guys!
By the way, saw a few PC related questions.
If you are wondering if the port is good, I can tell you that it is awesome.
I have been playing it on PC on Ultra for the last 3 days and it runs amazingly. Stable on 60 fps and the game looks gorgeous.
Granted, my laptop is very powerful (980M and 12 GB of RAM), but the game looks and feels great.
You can also use the PS4 controller if you donwload DS4Windows.
Also, regarding the balancing:
I think the game is already pretty balanced, but I am pretty sure they will re-touch the Imp (slight buff) and Rose (slight nerf) characters.
I think Popcap is waiting for the actual release to see how the characters will do before doing anything.

Darn, I suspected as much.
Game is a ton of fun, and my daughter is insanely into it too. She's already disappointed splitscreen isn't working, I'll have to break the limit to her too.
I wish they changed this. Surely if you're willing to buy it as a result of the full game trial you should be able to buy the game and keep playing.

Wow I thought about picking the game up on Origin (PC) but the trial has completely scared me away due to lack of people playing MP. Console it is, I guess.
Well, Origin on PC is really new, so that doesn't surprise me. I don't think you'll have issues when the game is actually out.
Honestly whichever version you choose you can't seem to go wrong. It's seems like it's gunna have a large crowd.

If Splatoon didn't exist, PvZ:GW would of easily been my favorite shooter this decade, it feels weird that I actually fell in love with two shooters, especially in such a small time frame.
I am and I added you
, I don't know if I'll have much time to play, I am also considering refunding it if I didn't like it much, we'll see.Tbh, I mainly played G&G in GW1, other modes were pretty much dead and I didn't really care. G&G is easily the best mode in the game.

How do you use backyard items? I think they might be decorations for personalizing your backyard.
I'm having a blast with this. Way more than I imagined. Saved myself 90 minutes for tomorrow tonight, but I wish I had more time left.
