Earlier today/yesterday (depending on your time zone) I posted some screenshots of the original Plants vs Zombies PC game in the screenshot thread. To be honest, I didn't think it would garner any reaction at all, but it seems this random display of a game has significantly triggered a number of codexers.
I find this interesting.
So I searched the forum for threads about the game to find out what the issue is. But there are no threads. There are 2 threads getting excited for PvZ 2, suggesting it's something some people do like, but none for the first game, very little literature at all TBH.
So I thought I'd give the game a thread.
As far as I can tell there's nothing bad about the game. In fact, as far as I can tell, it's a highly monocled game in the tradition of everything that's good about PC gaming, from gameplay to humour and from music/sound effects to difficulty and multiple ways to play.
So far, for my screenies:
Pippin thinks the post was
Jinn thought the post was
Modron thought the post was
and
Ninja Destroyer found the post... : Disgusting:
The game has an 8.9 user rating on Metacritic from 897 ratings and a 97% positive rating by Steam users from 7,671 reviews. So what great unspoken feelings are hidden within so many posters here? What has PvZ done to deserve this?

Snorlack has rated the screeny post as : shit:
