Plants vs. Zombies 2: Results on my devices (UPDATED)

Ugh, another one of those? Well, it is! It's because lately, I have a major update about this game that I played through my devices. You may remember the post that I posted before with the same title that I made back then, now here's an update about this game's results based on my device's enjoyment with this game. Is it way better than before? Let's find out, by reading this below here right now.

1. Asus Zenfone 5 (late usage)

"... Hopefully this device must be last longer and works better than the Advan T1Ci tablet, which was very bad like that device got a lot of virusses."-Original "Plants vs. Zombies 2: results on my devices" post
Well, unfortunately, this device got some problems during operating this game like that old cheap Advan tablet, again. Just let you know, even though you may think it worked properly, it's NOT! Although it was way better than that piece of crap tablet, it did job poorly, which made me want to smash the screen with my bare hands. Just like my old tablet... Just like my old tablet... Typical old Android device that is well-known for performance issues such as it doesn't run this game as it should be. But this one was way less worse than that tablet, but I still hated it. The game ran seamlessly, just like my old tablet. First off, during the Modern Day update (I think), the game just didn't start until I changed this device's language into English. The way how it didn't start was astonishing. Black screen... simple as that, until it shows "PvZ 2 is not responding" message. Not only that problem, there's another one that is my most frustrating problem that I ever seen in every old Android devices, so there's no exception for this game. After few minutes or maybe quarter of an hour of gameplay, the game crashed. But the way how it crashed was pleasant (with typical "Unfortunately" message), unlike my old tablet. There were 3 ways of how this game crashed, so here we go:

Way #1:

A----------------=======-----=========|=|=|=|=|=|=||=||=B

Way #2:

A-----------==========-$|B

Way #3:

A---------------========-----======------------|________B


Note:

A means I launched the game
- means the game works, but bit of slowdown
= means the game just slowed down than -
| only, means the game stops by itself entirely
|= means the game just slowed down than =
||= means the game just slowed down than |=, nearly unplayable
$ means there is a random Google or unknown ad
B means where it crashes

Yeah, how embarrassed it was. It had 3 ways of how this game crashed on this device. Way #1, I didn't know when it happened, maybe in earlier days with it with this game towards to somewhere in 2016. Then, way #2, I guessed it happened in mid of 2017, and finally, way #3, it happened many times lately until I got a way better device than this one. Among 3 of them, way #2 and #3 are my most hateful way of how the game crashed, which made almost want to smash this with the hammer like my old tablet did. But, since I had some logic ways about this game, there is one way to solve those problems, is NOT play this game so often ever again. With my better device that came lately, I did backup several data about this game to play it on my better device, and it's done for this phone for 3 years of service with this game.

2. Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1

Now, here's my better device that I mentioned above. It's the same brand, but way better than that, it's Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1! You can guessed it why I bought this and mentioned it here, because I want to play this game even faster than before. Guess what? It runs FAR better than Zenfone 5, which was horrible, but less horrible than that junk tablet.  With my bit of knowledge about the way how I backup the game from my old phone, it turned out just very well. It runs almost good as the champ, which means I can play this game even longer than before with relatively excellent speed like what you play it on many premium devices that do you have, like iPhone. Tiny bit of frame rate issues though, but it doesn't bother me to play this game on this beast. However, it also lags as well, but NOT that bad at all, it only lags on any Endless Zones where are too much zombies like a thousand of them, or most of the session in this game, but again, far less than my old phone was... One more thing, there are some annoying random video ads which caused the game stop responding, but I can solve it by quitting it down as it doesn't crash, and relaunch the game, which is way faster to get it back... So, that's my new device to play this game, and it concluded as my best device to play this game so far... Alright!

Oh, for anybody who interested in my Plants vs. Zombies collection series on my own blogspot here, I finally made another one. Here's one of the new stuffs that I got here, belongs to that:
Guess what it is?
Just like usual, until I have enough stuffs that I got on that, I will eventually post that for you guys, so stay tuned for that, though... So, that's it for this purpose, and enjoy your electric fan and toys, guys!
