I think I'm done with the game until the Suburbination DLC comes out. I don't know what's taking so long on it.
Have you platinum the game? I have the Destiny Ghost Edition and haven't had much time played because of Garden Warfare. Once I get the platinum for Garden Warfare I'll resume and finish Destiny.

No. I like trophies but I don't really try to go for platinum in games. I can't commit the time to 100% games.

I'd love a full replay mode where you can change camera angles. There's some great moments to be had in this, they could even make it a play on that Battlefield marketing they were doing about how stuff "only happens in BF".

This game worth it if you're not partying up? Thinking about coppin this on ps4 but, I dunno.

I've never once partied up to play the competitive modes in this game. I can maybe see that being an argument for the wave based co-op mode but it's not even really a requirement there either.

So yes, it's worth it if you aren't partying up.

So hows the game? Its was either this or Destiny, but Destiny seems a dissapointment in the multiplayer area and I need a break from the gritty battlefield 4


1: Hows the community? Very Alive, In between, or nearly dead

2: How many people in a match?

3: How many modes?

4: Is it fun?

6 v 6. They seem to just throw randoms levels and skills together, I hated it. Wits they had a hard mode, can't stand PvP where good people own noobs.

1.In Ps4, I would say the community is very alive during the weekends, and in between during the week.

2. 12 vs 12
3. Currently there are 5 unique ones includin Co-op. Easy to find people in most of them all the time.
4. It is incredible fun. In in ~2 weeks or so, I'm just missing 1 trophy to get my platinum, which usually takes from 30- to 50 hours. Game is a blast and highly recommended.
 
Anyone else having trouble today? It seems to take five-ten tries to connect to a G&G game, when before it'd matchmake 95% of the time on the first try. And after connecting the matches seem laggier than usual.
 
I'm confused...what are the two DLC expansions that were free with the PS4 copy? Are they integrated into the game already, or do I have to download them from somewhere?
 
Gardens and Graveyards is awesome. Longer matches, more chaos, more coins, bigger maps. Love it. I was playing Team Vanquish exclusively, but I was getting pissed off with how quickly the matches ended, so i tried G&G, thinking it was horde mode, and then realised it was some funky mix between rush and conquest. Awesome.

I'm really loving this game, it's so damn fun. My only criticism is how damn underpowered the plants are compared to the zombies. I get so many more kills when playing as a zombie, they seem to do so much more damage, and in a shorter amount of time. The soldier, for example, will kill a sunflower much quicker than a sunflower will kill a soldier.

That's supposed to happen - the sunflower is the weakest of all characters, to make up for it's extremely powerful healing (which is far superior to the zombie teams healer). On the other hand, a pea shooter should take apart a soldier one on one generally.

I really love all the plant classes. They are all fun to play with, Peashooter is so damn versatile, Chomper is very satisfying getting kills with in a stealthy way, Sunflower is bad ass with its solar beam attack and Cactus with is drone.


When will the sublination DLC hit? Can't wait for that 'domination' game mode.


Here's my PSN for anybody wanting to do some Garden OPs

I've only managed to connect to two G&G matches since yesterday. Weird.

G&G, Can't connect. I really wanted to play a few matches before homework. :/

I just got into Team Vanquish...good enough.

This game is really fun and I'm really enjoying it alot. I've never experienced any latancy issues even when playing via remote play on the Vita which is excellent. I have gotten disconnected a couple times from a game but only two or three times over the 15 odd hours played, but what game hasn't.

The game does have other network issues and I'm not alone. The first week the game launched I kept getting problems connecting to my first Garden Ops game, after the 10th time I finally connected.

Two week ago you couldn't even connect to a Garden Ops game until last week PSN updated, multiplayer had no issues.
Now this week I can't connect to a Garden & Graveyards game, but oddly classic works fine.
There are other minor issues after finishing a game of Garden Ops, I get a connection problems and can't continue playing with the previous players.

None network problems I've encountered are two main ones. Sometimes when pressing the touch pad to bring up the score it brings up an empty score and can't exit out, which pressing the touched pad should exit but isn't responsive. The game is unplayable at this point becuase the score board covers most of the screen. The only way to exit is when the empty score board shows up is to press options and options again to exit and lastly the touch pad. The last problem is sometimes the controls are unresponsive and you can't control the character, most recently I haven't encountered this so much.

I would much rather see some tweaks made to the game regarding these issues than getting the next dlc out sooner.

I remember Mass Effect 3 handling this stuff better by having a popup in-game telling me about a community event being active, could be wrong though.

it kind of bothers me the freemium style consumables and unlocking ala ME3 MP (especially when it includes revives in the coop mode and that kind of stuff). Fucking EA always has to mess it.

But yep, game is hella fun. It plays damn good. Still have to try some modes like the ball one and garden vs graveyards. Been playing coop and the beginner mode.

I'm not a big fan of unlocks for shooters in general but I don't feel like the system in this game is any worse than the unlock system in BF4 or whatever. I think I've put about 22 hours into the game and since I started using the 40k packs I've been unlocking characters at a fast rate. They're the only tough unlocks. Won't be long before I have all of them now. I probably average one character unlock every 4 games of g&g.

The game is super fun too. Its not without its flaws (awful camera angles once in a while, questionable hit detection, etc) but it's so charming regardless.
 
Weird, I was in a Gardens vs Graveyards game on the zombies team with two other players against... no one on the plants team. We just capped all the points then the game suddenly filled out to 24 players during the final bit. Kinda put the plants players at a disadvantage.

I hope they release a big expansion pack filled with a hell lot more maps. The map design in this game is top notch but a bit on the low side.

I sort of had this happen to me once on PC. Everyone left after one round, leaving a handful of people on other side. I was one of the zombies and after a while it became clear there were no more plants playing. But hey, stickers, so we stuck around and capped almost all of the points. Then when we were doing the golf cart escort bit at the end, suddenly plants starting showing up again, but it was way too late.
