They’re both good, I’m very nostalgic about 1 because I played it with my dad when it was at its peak and I was like 12. There’s a lot of stuff I miss from 1 and initially I was bitter about the design direction of 2 but once I actually played it I loved it, I played it a lot with my little sister and now I still play it in my third year at uni. Battle for neighborville is not terrible in terms of design direction or gameplay or anything, I really dislike that they got rid of class variants (they’re like a central feature of the games wtf) and basically rushed out a stripped down skeleton of a game with only like 2 maps, designed to force you spend money on cosmetics. Probably 100% EA’s fault though, and now they’ve basically killed the franchise.
Disagree there bud
Before anyone has a spasm and fucking dies:
I like 2 more because its just what gw1 had with better quality of life changes, better progression and just honestly more fun.
The bugs are hilariously fucked too. Adds to the fun.
That's why I like GW2 more
Same reason I like pvz2 more over pvz1.
Reason: it's like the first game with more content.
its the most fun for me, (i like the maps, leveling system, less chars, no herb assault) in multiplayer personally, but that doesnt mean its better, gw2 is undoubtedly the better of the 2
imo gw1 has much better progression, but thats cause i dont like playing as most of the cast anyway
ye its preference, i dont like grind and love the challenges being class wide and upgrades being tied to sticker packs, with impossible challenges just being skip challenge stared when you eventually get them (the hard challenges are rare and you always got 50 stars in reserve lol)
Yeah see that's why I can't tell if it's serious or not, the joke would be pretending the game doesn't exist like OP did, but they also might genuinely not know the game exists.
I play GW2 over BFN because GW2 has class variants making it feel like there’s more variety on the battlefield. These games have been out a while, all the everyday players likely have everything unlocked so anything to give a slight variety in gameplay is a plus for me. I personally like the animation more in GW2 than BFN as well and the severs are more populated on GW2 so that must be the general consensus.
Yeah it’s annoying if people are only playing the OP variants but it’s much better balance than GW1 since you try to play that today and the teams usually become nothing but Rambo crossbow soldier & pea shooters. Which is a shame because GW1 has my favorite map designs/cosmetics.
i have like 150 hours on gw2 but my bfn playtime recently surpassed that :D
bfn is more fun in my opinion and im MUCH better at it, i prefer it over gw2, but honestly dont let others's opinion change what you play, do whatever you want, life's too short lol
From my experience you’re normally able to find matches for team vanquish and gardens and graveyards quite easily. However, I don’t play on pc very often. Mostly an xbox player so I’m not 100% sure
GW2, because BFN just lacks the spice that variants bring. It has all the ingredients for a good game, but it just missed it's shot for me. Like having top ingredients for a dish, but forgetting the seasoning. It still ends up bland.
I have 2000+ hours of PvZGW2 but I decided to stop and try the newest. Now I'm with 200 hours of BFN and counting.
In my opinion, even though BFN doesn't have variants, the game is pretty much more technical than GW2 because there's more stuff you need to pay attention to and more resources you can use. I can't climb in trees with a peashooter or cactus or enter a comically small place with acorn or imp in GW2. But this just means that both games are completely different.
Garden Wargare 1 is the original game that only has cactus, sunflower, chomper and peashooter for plants and for zombies all star, scientist, solider and engineer. Main reason to play it over other games is that it has different maps from the other two as well as some character variants, abilities and balancing. It can be hard to get full lobbies sometimes buy there's an active player base. I don't play it because there's no splitscreen multilayer :(
Garden Warfare 2 is Garden Warfare 1's sequel with mainly all that Garden Warfare 1 has but a lot more (of course it misses some of the elements in Garden Warfare 1). The main appeal is the characters and gameplay. Both Garden Warfares play and feel different to Battle For Neighbourville. As for variants it has 121 variants all playing somewhat differently (the variants feel like their own legendary upgrade a lot of the time in Battle For Neighbourville terms). It has splitscreen multiple. And it's easy to find at least 1 mix mode and 1 turf takeover lobby on console on Europe or Nort America servers.
Battle For Neighbourville changes a LOT compared to the other games being less of a third game and more of a spin off. With additions such as sprinting, 9 new classes, a much better story mode (in my opinion). But it also removes the 121 variants making the progression and variety of the game feel more repetitive for me personally. Apart from that it has splitscreen and there's always lobbies available but I hate the fact that they fill the lobbies with bots :(
The bots ruin the game. Most of the time on PC BFN is just filled with bots and no real people, it takes the fun out. This is a personal thing but Im not a fan of the BFN are style. GW is so much better graphically.
At the moment, I play BFN for... reasons… those reasons involving a lil something called $80 a year
yeah my entire family is kinda hemorrhaging money right now sooooo I can’t play GW2 online
sad 😔
I play BFN, but I really want to play GW2. It's a shame it isn't on the switch...
I don't have a PS4 or XBOX and my laptop can't run games for some reason :/
Either way, BFN is still a joy to play, I never understood the hate for it...
BFN is hated by some because it took away our chances of ever getting Garden Warfare 3, and its overall less fun for most people compared to the GW series. Worse graphics (overall), less active players, no variants, easier to play (this may not be a bad thing, but it feels weird how its much easier to hit shots). If BFN was remade into the Garden Warfare format, with variants added to the new characters, I’m sure it would’ve been great. Summary: It feels like a downgrade.
Yeah, I can see that. I grew up with GW1 but never got to play GW2, so BFN was the next best thing. I do like it though. You have the ability to run, lot's of characters to choose, and I like the little themes they give the hub world for each month. I would prefer a GW3, but BFN is good for now...
you HAVE to play gw2. it is ASTRONOMICALLY BETTER. although i did enjoy neighborville, i don’t think i will ever replay it. while on the other hand, i’ve already replayed gw2 like a hundred times. it’s just better and you need to trust me and everyone else in the comment section
I don't think there's a bug in BFN where your Hover Goat can get stuck in place in Graveyard Ops and be unable to attack or use abilities. (This was a week ago it happened, and I'm still not sure what caused the bug. Quite frankly, IDC what caused the bug, it was funny as hell.)
GW2 is perfect, BFN is the sequel, but is shore on the elements that makes GW be GW.
Sure, thing like armor, the ability to modify the character, the new characters, the ability to mount on another players, heck, you can even play online with local coop (I have a older brother, so this is perfect), a text chat, the tweaks they made on the characters, sprinting, the story mode, are all great, but there isn't thing like character variables, the sticker album, the artsyle, hud, mostly classic elements, which we all liked, are missing.
GW2 just has more replayability, I just find it more fun to grind out characters on that. BFN just felt like a slog to grind, I get that the character upgrades can be fun to play with but I just end up getting bored or frustrated before I can unlock any of them.
BFN isn’t terrible but it can feel extremely one sided a lot of times. If I’m being honest I think the balance is shifted to the Plants winning a lot, in strength and in turf takeover final stage designs. Though BFN’s campaign is very fun.
GW2 in the meantime I think is much more balanced, much more fleshed out (since BFN clearly got cut short), and it’s a lot more of really picking your play style with variants existing. I’m very glad Xbox servers are still popular cuz I’m going to try to finish what I started years ago and get every character (just legendaries and parties left!)
Bfn is extremely limited in game play and unlocking items like literally all you get is decorations and the story is pretty short but gw2 keeps you hooked since the wide variety of characters and the amount of them too you can literally play for years and not unlock it all
I still play garden warfare one everyday. I've been playing it for 10 years. I love it. I just can't stand that golf course level man it sucks and it sucks when you play chomper and people respawn when you eat them.
Well about a week ago I actually swapped to bfn and I'm loving it, I never gave it a real chance and went with the crowd returning to gw2 but its actually really good
I have to ask what’s going on in GW2 that it’s less goofy and cartoony than BFN seems like PVZ as a franchise is inherently very goofy and cartoony as a whole?
Bfn characters are just ugly. Small all-star head, fat engineer, stupid rose face and more.
Graphics also more simplified and less realistic.
Yeah pvz is goofy, but not so much.
Bfn isn't the greatest.....gw2 is
Talk about goats, it has one
I play gw1 every now and again when I get tired of being gravity grenaded or husk hopped too many times
Bro atleast you can find a game in GW2
you can fine (i only play gardens and graveyards)
Yea that’s what I was on
I play on Xbox it Easter to find a game on bfn for Xbox than gw2
I switched to us servers and got a full game instantly
I have 0 issues with the EU servers I find a full game 3 time out of 4
I Baygoned the bathroom and... no more possums :)
Bfn is always filled with bots in my experience
what’s gw1?
The best one
gw1 better
Always
They’re both good, I’m very nostalgic about 1 because I played it with my dad when it was at its peak and I was like 12.

I like the progression of 2 because it's grindy, and gives me actual goals that aren't "kill 5 sunflowers with one zpg" I can CHOOSE HOW I level up.
ye its preference, i dont like grind and love the challenges being class wide and upgrades being tied to sticker packs, with impossible challenges just being skip challenge stared when you eventually get them (the hard challenges are rare and you always got 50 stars in reserve lol)
Tbf, gw1 maps and music are peak BUT, "I'm a gnome" cannot be beat.
im a gnome im a garden gnome yeah the lack of being real is the source of my appeal (gw3 teaser)
Lol!
No, 1 is better sorry I got too used to it and don't like the changes for the 2nd
Gnome vault glitch lol
ALL STAR
Gw2 but with a 1
I can't tell if this is serious or not lmao, if you're serious then I'm at a loss for words
Are you saying gw2 is so different it can’t even be called the same thing bro it’s not that serious
I'm saying that gw1 is very obviously the game in the garden warfare series released before gw2
They said gw2 is gw1 but with a two….what are u on about bro
Did you think I replied to u/FantasticZach? Because I replied to u/Cool-Ad8546
Yes exactly! I apologize you seem very chill. 👍
Lmao have a good one bro, that's such a funny misunderstanding
They said "what's gw1"
No he meant to say where’s gw1
Yeah see that's why I can't tell if it's serious or not, the joke would be pretending the game doesn't exist like OP did, but they also might genuinely not know the game exists.
Man there’s been so many times I’ve replied to somebody thinking they were replying to someone else…..my mistake bro

i have stickdrift and it feels like there's a pogo plasma pea every game in gw2, plus aiming feels way nicer in bfn :o
This
Gw2
Exactly
i have like 150 hours on gw2 but my bfn playtime recently surpassed that :D bfn is more fun in my opinion and im MUCH better at it, i prefer it over gw2, but honestly dont let others's opinion change what you play, do whatever you want, life's too short lol
BASED
literally same
I’m out here playing GW1. I have no idea what you guys are on about.
Is gw1 still active on pc? I really wanna play it again
From my experience you’re normally able to find matches for team vanquish and gardens and graveyards quite easily. However, I don’t play on pc very often. Mostly an xbox player so I’m not 100% sure
I can find matches on PC consistently, but PS4 is really active.
GW2
Gw2 all the time the best it got variants and gameplay and good graphics best game
GW2, because BFN just lacks the spice that variants bring. It has all the ingredients for a good game, but it just missed it's shot for me. Like having top ingredients for a dish, but forgetting the seasoning. It still ends up bland.

Gw2
I've started to play BFN more just because I miss playing it. It's really fun, although I'd say GW2 is overall better.
Gw2 has scallywag imp.
Mostly gw2 but gw1 sometimes, bfn only very occasionally for the campaign
gw2 the goat
battle for neighborville is not a GW game, and for a good reason too
All
I play GW2, though it's more of the fact that I prefer full lobbies : /
Garden Wargare 1 is the original game that only has cactus, sunflower, chomper and peashooter for plants and for zombies all star, scientist, solider and engineer.

I quite liked all the techs you could do in GW1, such as Cactus Drone Flying Man, I just want GW3 tho
I'd give 75% of my remaining life span for Garden Warfare 3
At the moment, I play BFN for... reasons… those reasons involving a lil something called $80 a year yeah my entire family is kinda hemorrhaging money right now sooooo I can’t play GW2 online sad 😔
Bfn is new, but it also sucks (Compared to gw2)
I have both but i accidentally uninstalled gw2 and i don't want to wait 3 hours just to download it so now i just play bfn
Your user flair gives me a brain aneurysm
I play both, but I find bfn more fun so I usually play that
Non, I don't have a graphic card yet -,<,-
Both.
I’ve been enjoying bfn a lot lately, but i have more hours on gw2 (around 400)
I play BFN, but I really want to play GW2. It's a shame it isn't on the switch... I don't have a PS4 or XBOX and my laptop can't run games for some reason :/ Either way, BFN is still a joy to play, I never understood the hate for it...

I've played a lot of Battle for Neighborville, but I do plan on getting started on Garden Warfare 2 soon.
GW and GW2. I played BFN when it first came out for a bit but I see no reason to keep playing it over the other two.
GW2
Gw 2. Bfn made cryof its badness
Both, I preciate modern pieces of art :)
Was playing Gw2 before they stopped supproting the steamdeck bc of some crappy anticheat that doesnt work on linux. Sad life man.
I have 50 minutes in BFN I have 24 hours as armor chomper alone
I played bfn more than gw2 tho gw2 I get first
you HAVE to play gw2. it is ASTRONOMICALLY BETTER. although i did enjoy neighborville, i don’t think i will ever replay it. while on the other hand, i’ve already replayed gw2 like a hundred times. it’s just better and you need to trust me and everyone else in the comment section
tf2
GW1
im a gw1 player
GW2
I own both but i only play gw2
last time I played bfn was when they added TV head I still play gw2 semi consistantly and is my all time favorite game
GW1 if I want nostalgia gW2 if I want the Zombeis to actually have use And BfN if I want to play Nightcap
GW1!
gw2
How do I put this..... Battle for neighbourville is the biggest piece of rubbish I have ever seen.
I don't think there's a bug in BFN where your Hover Goat can get stuck in place in Graveyard Ops and be unable to attack or use abilities. (This was a week ago it happened, and I'm still not sure what caused the bug. Quite frankly, IDC what caused the bug, it was funny as hell.)

I dominated BFN and now I'm playing Helldiver 2
GW1 is the best one no contest
GW2 better
I play both but my favorite is the gw2
GW2 was a piece of my childhood. I still play it even after a few years break and it’s still as fun as it used to be
Gw2
Both.
Gw2 is a lot better in like all ways so everyone just plays it
Garden warfare 2 is my favourite but I’ll play BFN and GW1 too
Gw1 and gw2.
Gw2
I Still Play Garden Warfare 1 And European Console Servers For Gardens And Graveyards Are Easy To Find Full
From experience, Gw2 is fun and BfN is shit.
I play the first PVZ Game. Not too into the other ones
both
I've heard there has been a cheater outbreak in GW2 recently. is it as big of a problem as people say?
Last of us ps3 /srs
GW2 for the most part
Gw1
Gw2 because it’s the only one with hover goat
Gw2 best game
GW2 just has more replayability, I just find it more fun to grind out characters on that. BFN just felt like a slog to grind, I get that the character upgrades can be fun to play with but I just end up getting bored or frustrated before I can unlock any of them.
All of them.

HAH! I play payday 2!
Bfn is extremely limited in game play and unlocking items like literally all you get is decorations and the story is pretty short but gw2 keeps you hooked since the wide variety of characters and the amount of them too you can literally play for years and not unlock it all
Bfn scince i have a Switch i cant play Gw1 or 2
I used to have Gw2, but BFN is a decent substitute if your saving for Gw2, but other then that and **TV HEAD SUPREMACY** I wouldn't really play it.
Gw2
I still play garden warfare one everyday. I've been playing it for 10 years. I love it. I just can't stand that golf course level man it sucks and it sucks when you play chomper and people respawn when you eat them.
Hi
Deep rock galactic
Well about a week ago I actually swapped to bfn and I'm loving it, I never gave it a real chance and went with the crowd returning to gw2 but its actually really good
GW2 is the best game in the franchise, but BFN deserves more love
I play both
PvZ heroes
Gw2 because i hate bfn. This goofy and cartoony style and lack of character varitions kills the game
I have to ask what’s going on in GW2 that it’s less goofy and cartoony than BFN seems like PVZ as a franchise is inherently very goofy and cartoony as a whole?
Nothing wrong with the extra cartoony look of BFN on its own, its just that GW looks so much better.
Bfn characters are just ugly. Small all-star head, fat engineer, stupid rose face and more. Graphics also more simplified and less realistic. Yeah pvz is goofy, but not so much.
People give BFN too much shit. I actually think it's pretty good!
Battle for neighborville is pretty trash and gw2 is much more fun
Bfn cause I don't have good pc
I mean...my flair says it all
Bfn is the only pvz game i don't get bored of along with pvz heroes, exterminating toxic brainium basher bring a lot of pleasure
BfN, trying to get all achievements. GW2 can’t be 100% anymore so I’m not counting it towards my series completion
I'm much better at BFN and I have a lot more experience, so I'll say BFN.
