- Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is definitely another Ubisoft open world game.
Except this time, there's blue people.

we played this game for 5+ hours so you don't have to.
unless you want to, it's up to you.
You're doing a public service
no
I would honestly love a long edit of the full cut
Catwoman is worse than this.😅
30 hours in and slowly feeling the urge to 100% it. I'm having the best time in an open world since Mad Max. Sometimes with some tweaks the Ubisoft formula just suits. This is one of such cases.
Ubisoft's really good at making games that look amazing in videos. Like, I've played a bunch of their games, they always look great but I always get bored playing them, and yet when I see gameplay of this I still want to try it even knowing the feeling will be exactly the same. I feel like the whole company is basically carried by their art team.
Yep this is why I own fc6 and only played like an hr
So that’s why I can’t finish Assassins creed ever but I love the FIRST Watchdogs though
Watchdogs 2 was super fun for me. I loved the gadgets and the hacking. Also the San Francisco they created was gorgeous.
exactly what i thought about assassin's creed unity, still one of the best looking AC, incredibly detailed but i couldn't bother to finish it since the story is just meh (the gameplay is alright compared to valhalla at least)
This is why I kinda get bored of FC5 very quickly, and even tho FC6 is now on gamepass as of recent, idk if I wanna try it.
"incredibly mid" that's the Ubisoft way.
Ubisoft are the greatest develepors in gaming history. Assassins Creed, Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, Far Cry. All four are among the greatest game franchises ever. People still praise Rockstar Games after the piece of shit trainwreck that were GTA 5. Ubisoft have always been the most ambitious video game development studio, and it has mostly created masterpieces. There are some blunders, but they exist everywhere in the industry.

I can’t express how much this game should’ve been third person
Agreed! After that the main issue for me is the lack of a Grab/shimmy option.Jumping is extremely cumbersome/janky and is really hard to try and be precise when trying to jump! I know you get a mount but i'm only like 3 hrs in and traversing isnt as fluid as id hoped.I am hoping that once I get my Ikran things will feel better! Also anyone else think the water effects look crappy on ps5?
@@paulrob08I’m about 6 hours in and still no Ikram. Granted I have been doing a lot of side quests and just general exploring of the map I feel like the Ikram should’ve been introduced earlier as some of the quests are a fair trek away. I 100% agree about the third person. What is the point in getting all these cosmetic skins from pre-ordering or from the item shop (which is a whole other issue in of itself) if I only get to see them when I’m in my menu? I am having a good time with the game and haven’t played a Ubisoft game in long time so I’m less used fo their main game tropes. Apologies for the long winded reply!
I really can't express how much third person should be an option in literally every single RPG where you get to make your own character ever made.
fuck the cp2077 fans that keep trying to justify that shit with "oh but the map wasn't built for it! nobody plays in third person! blah blah blah."
custom characters are made to be enjoyed in third person and first person, and part of the fun is having both options.
You can try
I’ve said this before but I completely disagree and I don’t even like 1st person perspective like that. This is one game I can overlook that simply because of the world of Pandora is one of the most beautiful worlds created. From the plant life to all the animals and everything populating the world. It’s something that imo begs to be played in 1st person there’s so many moments in this game that are just simply Amazing and I don’t think it’ll feel or be experienced the same in third person
An unbelievable looking game, but the gameplay really needed to have higher priority. They made this HUGE map that looks so good, but I can’t be bothered to play it because the combat really gets old quick really the entire gameplay
@@mcbdllc2848it’s not tho
The first film did at least spend more than 2 minutes setting up some characters.
Rather than doing one single minute long villain introduction and then an 8 year time skip. We get no investment in anything going on, we don't experience the indoctrination or the gaslighting, there's no belief the villain is anything other than "the villain"
Combat is great fym
@@esmeecampbell7396dawg the villain of the films is just the villain 💀💀 “I hate blue cat people because they’re not human like me RAGHHHHH” zero depth. I love the movies but they’re not the most complexing written stuff💀💀💀💀
So it’s authentic then? All beauty and no substance.
I just love that every single time there's even a hint in the game that you get to fight with your Na'Vi dudes, they write it so they always have to leave/stayback or some other dumb thing. They litterally gave the Na'Vi ZERO AI.
This game was really only made for two types of people. Those who like Far Cry and those who like the movies. I myself, am a huge fan of the movies and think this game does an incredible job of replicating the vibe from them. I also had no expectations going into the game other than the fact that I want to run around as one of the Na'vi and fly on an Ikran. And that's exactly what i've been doing. For the past 38 hours. I'm just happy to be there, ya know? I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who simply wants to experience the world of Pandora or another Far Cry game. Either way it's a beautiful game to play with an interesting environment to explore but that's pretty much all it's got going for itself.
THIS👏
As someone who like neither the films not far cry, I am loving this game
@@jn4126 I just downloaded it yesterday but haven’t played it yet
It’s exactly why I decided to buy it. I just want the 9ft-parkouring-stealth-killer experience that I loved in the films. Plus flying. The story is whatever, but the environment and immersive overshadows it. Also, it’s co-op!! Who doesn’t wanna flame people by no-scoping with short-bows, fly around to then dive off and be caught again. It’s just good.
@@TAZMAN1C yesssssss
Fun fact for Later in the game, there’s a skill you can get where arrows won’t break on impact and you will be able to get them back, and it will show the arrows in the enemies haha which is pretty cool
As an Australian, I can confirm we do have moonscarabs here
I live in Minnesota we got the Beatles and flying lizard things.
I remember being criminally stoned and seeing avatar in theaters. Very visceral experience 😂
reminds me of when a friend and me went to go see Us while fried off a pineapple cart, we remembered none of the plot and laughed our asses off seeing a bunch of people supposedly forming a handholding chain through the fvcking ocean

How is it Avatar if you're not controlling an Avatar? It's more like Native.
Bc that's the franchises name
Just like how in Halo, you're not always in a Halo ring
I hate that so many years later we still don't have a Resident Evil where you play as the mansion
"Mid" is far better than "dissapointing". Let's be real, we didn't know how this was gonna look or turn out.
And I'm happy this was the product and that my blue guy gave zero shits when taking his first life, knowing full well humans are free thinking creatures with understandable speech and emotions.
Honestly should/can an 'Avatar' game really ever achieve any better under any circumstances.
Lol. I love how people say they don't want "unbalanced garbage" when talking about Avatar, but then go on to praise and defend things like Wild Hearts, which is just unbalanced garbage but in favor of humans. "It's just a form of entertainment! It's Fictional! Leave it alone!" Avatar is fictional and trying to entertain people, but IT doesn't get a pass, so why should Wild Hearts get a pass. Because it's not that humans don't want "unbalanced garbage," but rather that humans don't want to be told what they need to hear. Unbalanced garbage is great as long as it's in HUMANITY'S favor.
@@baalfgames5318 forget to take your pills today?
@@baalfgames5318honestly humans are trash, we have no natural defenses, strengths, or abilities, really all we have is our smarts, and with the new generations, most of us aren’t even that smart.
At least Unisoft is a better game publisher than Gamemill entertainment who also published some of the worst 2023 games such as Skull Island Rise of Kong and The Walking Dead destinies.
About the store: you can get the items for free, there's someone in the hometree that you do daily and weekly challenges and use that currency to get store items.
Also there's so much stuff to find when exploring, I really don't get why there's a shop at all. It sucks. Call them out for it. yet, one of the few cases, where all you find in-game is nice enough.
@@phm6834Thats cool. Reminds me of Far Cry 5 where there was a store and premium currency, but everything was obtainable for free with the cash you earn during the game instead. Even the premium currency was scattered throughout the map in safes. Ubisoft handles that pretty well sometimes.

I once had Gollum on my Christmas list, only to switch it out for the Avatar game after seeing enough videos of how unplayable it was (or still is); probably the wisest decision I've ever made. I imagine how funny it would be if a review for this game would say something like "At least it's not Gollum".
It is extremely playable, not sure where you are getting unplayable from? If you mean just not fun, that makes more sense. But it is a super polished experience.
@@yupperdude1 super polished? ubisoft has used the same facial animations from the first Ghost recon from 15 years ago.
@@DerekHellscream Did either of you not notice this guy was talking about Gollum being unplayable lol... He said switching out FOR avatar was the best decision he made
😂 you sound dumb . Avatar not playable? I’m having an absolute blast. Pro tip don’t skip the cut scenes and you may end up liking it more.
@@DerekHellscream not true lma
Beauty is in the eye of beholder. Average game to many but to myself, and many other avatar fans it is absolutely amazing. I played for 6 hours yesterday and hardly did any quests just flying around the map and exploring and fighting random RDA. The combat could have had more depth, sure, melee finisher/animations, a slo mo aiming mode, etc would have been sweet to be sure. But this game is about as far as mid for me personally just because it is an incredibly immersive Pandora alone. Best straight up movie IP game I’ve ever played
Same, right when I got the game I spent 4 hours playing the game, right now I have 20 hours in the game.
This game is a soulless husk devoid of all creativity and passion just riding off the success of some movie.
It's just sickening to watch.
I actually think the movie itself looks kinda mid too, but I might be wrong about that one.
This one
3:31 I have already reached my breaking point with the “story” for this game. This is literally the opening for Far Cry 3. Just with blue catboys and catgirls instead of frat bros and sorority girls.
Pretty much hahaha

From a movie where the themes are 'I see you', don't judge a book by it's cover, see things from a different set of eyes, don't demonize another group, etc---sure has a lot gratuitous violence against humans...
probably because the humans are violent colonizers endangering the ecosystem of this planet? lol
If it was the other way around people would cry.
@@joewalsh886 with laughter?
The humans just see them as hostiles to be murdered so we can repopulate and use their resources. If it was a powerful cohabitation then that’s a different story but of course there is always someone in power who takes things into their own hands
They are trying too hard to push the “humans are destroying the earth” message. It feels forced.

It’s a really good game

Ah the cynical take nice.
@@joshuaglass1827 bro Avatar is literally the most bare bones plot ever and it’s absolutely driven by the visuals. I have to Google the main character’s name to this day, that’s how unmemorable it is,
It’s just the fact it’s far cry with a different coat of paint that kills it for me
That's every Ubishit game after 2013
To be fair, it diverges enough, especially in terms of exploration, since there are almost no hud markers/compass pings (optionally none at all), and every quest has both a description of the route to take and a guide book entry for finding the right, the rare version and conditions under which to find best versions of all items and animals.
ubisoft: we're making another game
gamers: is it another far cry game we know you're making another ac game that is just red flag again....

@@chrisanderson7906lol
It's not
What I would want in an avatar game would be one where you can explore the different environments, get different mounts - like those black panther things would be better at traversing the forest than a dragon - and get a cute alien waifu and treehouse.
Riding a thanator would be too much. It’s as rare as toruk makto lol. This game is canon they’re not just going to give us a thanator to ride. Wouldn’t make sense.
@@Donutdove so in the movie people find a thanator ride and a toruk makto in the span of half a day and you say that’s too much for a videogame?
@@dodgyyoutuber9560yes. Sorry for the long speech but let me explain.
Jake is the 5th or 6th toruk makto since the first songs and neytiri (as far as we know) the first of her people or anyone to ride a thanator. If they’re just giving out to toruk makto out like it’s nothing it loses it’s meaning, and within 13 years Of each other? Jake being toruk is milked of its importance. They made us apart of an almost extinct clan so we’re already special in some way.
Riding a thanator might be a DLC (non canon) or something who knows, maybe there is clans who specialise in them so we might get them in future, who knows but at the moment, no.
Frontiers of Pandora is canon so they can’t just make us toruk. The first avatar game is not canon.
I'm already on 45 plus hours in, I haven't finished the game yet been doing all the side missions the collectibles taking my time. So far I think the game is a masterpiece but everybody has their opinions. Working on platinum
I look forward to the other Ubisoft games Star wars outlaws, skull and Bones, and assassin's Creed red.
Far enough, I thank this game cant hold a candle to the old game, where you could play as wither Human or Avatar, that game was amazing. Playing as a human is like Vietnam in space simulator, fucking amazing.
Exactly. This game is my personal GotY for 2023. I understand having an opinion, but for people to say that this game is "mid" is pretty stupid. And the "empty open world"? Like, what? What game are they playing? Avatar has a LOT of things to do.
“Masterpiece” thats crazy bro.

James Cameron is not only the Titanic guy. He is the Terminator and Aliens guy. So he is pretty amazing. The first avatar movie is awesome too. But the game is what you guys are saying. Unfortunatly is an ubisoft game. As a fan I wish some cool studio could have done it. But big franchises go after those crappy money maker studios for licesing games
I lost it when his dying wish was to smoke that zas one last time 😂that made my day 🙏keep doing what y’all doing you guys are the funniest out there
The franchise where the hippies can beat the military in combat. Very realistic

Years ago, before the first avatar movie I had a dream with a lizard think just like the ones in avatar that spin to fly. Except the one in my dream was translucent and the sound it made while flying shattered teeth.
the concept of far cry in a pandora setting actually sounds pretty awesome.

The quality is the best its ever been but the content is released unfinished
@AMKmusic96 no game or any sort of product is ever truly finished. Everything can always be improved ^_^
just shut up if you watched the video youd understand why i commented that you pleb@@aaronlaughter6471
If they'd let us play the RDA and purge the Xenos? I would've bought this. I did buy the Xbox 360/PS3 One for that. Ubisoft sucks. No Blood Dragon 2. No Far Cry with dinosaurs. RIP.
It’s Avatar, plays like Far Cry, and is made by freaking Ubisoft. I’d be genuinely surprised if the game was MORE than mid.
"lets make far cry but with blue people" that was my thoughts exactly when i saw this
"Let's make Far Cry but" basically sums up 90% of Ubisoft's games, since Far Cry 3.
y'all made this pretty entertaining, I'd even watch a part 2 xD Also yall play quite well off each other
I really regret buying this game, I hate how it feels running around it’s boring the story is boring, idk what I was thinking
How DARE you say that we’re in the best era of gaming….
I really do wish you could’ve been evil in this game
I disagree. I’m loving the game personally. Some of the quest design is less than inspired but just exploring the world and finding the collectibles and destroying RDA installations is the funnest Ubisoft has been in years.
What really makes a difference is the sheer lack of markers cluttering your screen, the map, everything. It’s very much exploration based and occasionally you’ll see a quest marker if you use Na’vi vision. It’s all a lot less intrusive than past Ubisoft games. And the fact you have to actually explore to find Na’vi Settlements, Resistance Camps etc. elevates it to me
Missed opportunity "Hey we're Na'vi we don't take fall damage." Plays the scene from Avatar 1 of the dude falling out of the aircraft.
20hrs so far, it’s actually decent however the story is way on the weaker side and it sucks to have to continue through it to be able to explore the rest of this amazing map
I'd rather a weak but harmless/misanthropic story than Wild Hearts, tbh.
I came
I think the mediocre story is actually on brand for what Avatar is. It's visually stunning and is great to explore and get lost
The first film did at least spend more than 2 minutes setting up some characters.
Rather than doing one single minute long villain introduction and then an 8 year time skip. We get no investment in anything going on, we don't experience the indoctrination or the gaslighting, there's no belief the villain is anything other than "the villain"
@@esmeecampbell7396but they aren't the villain, they are more like the representative of the villain. RDA are the villains, the sites, the test and the destruction of the world is the RDA which is a massive corporation. Like beating "the villain" of this game doesn't change anything another will take its place. And given the fact that the game takes place 1 year before the second movie clearly the war isn't over.
Also I think they missed the love and family aspects of the movies (which were mid too 😅) I was expecting to have a Canon love story in this due to it being a core part of the movies. I think having one character as a temporary member and canon love interest would have made the game feel less isolated.
@@nathanscott2871 that's sort of my point. "The villain" isn't important, they're just some face of a company, beating them means nothing because you don't feel personally invested in killing THAT GUY nor the company as a whole.
It just feels like a generic Far Cry villain, rant in front of camera for a few seconds, "ok now go do outposts for 6 hours until you kill them"
Ubisoft got brain broken when everyone liked Vaas in Far Cry 3 and they've literally never been able to move on from that in the last decade and just keep remaking the same game.
@@esmeecampbell7396 weird I view rda as the villain, I like kicking em off the planet one outpost at a time. Yea I hated every far cry except for 2. They felt very gamey, however I feel avatar, the "gamey" elements feel much more natural to what your character would be up to. Also the fact that I haven't played one for longer than 10hrs means that the "formula" hasn't been ingrained into me.
I get what you mean now, it's not a villain that's missing (that's the rda) it's an antagonist that's missing. An individual to oppose the player. I actually liked that there isn't one but I completely understand how people would want this.
Whaaa arrows don't even stick into enemies. Im pretty sure old Turok even had that. Idr the title but it was the "Beware Oblivion is at hand" one. And Turok Rage Wars def had that

I remember the old avatar game being fun, you could choose to be human or avatar, kill the humans like heretics you are, or genocide the xenos as the God emperor wills it. Nobody seems to remember the game, but it was so much fun
they made a video on it
Seems like a pretty decent game if your into that type of gameplay actually
As a huge avatar fan, this was funny. I do like the game but they could’ve made it alot better so yeah
the arrows stick out of them when you get the sturdy arrow skill. then u can collect them again too
i can’t even get out of the starting area bro i keep glitching under the map
Fun fact: the best ending for this game is the one where you eject the disc and frisbee it out the window.
Dang, I got the one where I didn't buy this. Instead I got Robocop. :(
Could've microwaved that disc too like I did Aliens Colonial Marines.

Oh yeah you should The Lego Movie video game it’s a really awesome game to play it’s basically like the movie came out the same year and date but you’ll love it I used to play it on PS3.
Two things you can count on from Ubisoft.. cringy purple hair characters and micro-transactions

This game is great. Especially as an avatar fan. If youre a fan, the game is for you. As for far cry, i havent played them since the 2nd one. Barely. So the formula is not worn out for me.
23:46 what music theme is that.
Steven Erickson and even Brandon Sanderson make Tolkien look like an amature. I will die on this hill.
honestly, is a great game to enjoy. Visually stunning and a treat for people who enjoyed the movie. Missions are totally Crysis alike instead Far Cry. Totally recommended.

it's got an 8.1 user score on metacritic. its an absolute blast. people think its super cool and trendy to knock something that is decent for clicks, but the game is legitimately fun.
it's great really

Honestly was kind of on board with the game up until the microtransactions bit. I've never seen any of the movies and barely played any Far Cry but I love the design of the environment and the fact you can play as a none human character. I wasn't expecting a master piece but perhaps it could have been a fun game. However the entire microtransactions in a single player game really killed my impression. If it goes on sale I might buy it cheap on sale one day but no way I am paying full price for a game with freenium pay to with in it.

I love this game, best game from unisoft in years. Hated the far cry games, havent enjoyed ac in many years.
Everything in this game feels far more natural. Taking down rda sites story wise makes more sense than compounds in far cry.
Traversing the world feels fast fun and fluid in a way ac hasnt been in years.
Story is mid (the movies stories are mid too) but the world is beautiful, and the lore and customs are cool and interesting.
Resource gathering is far more rewarding than in most games, making resources harder to find is and only needing a few is far better than needing to "collect 20"
Also play on exploration mode, there is no beaten path so you are always off of it. In other games i always question why is my character just running into the woods.
I agree. It's actually my personal GotY. Best thing I've played since Elden Ring, and it'll keep me busy for at least a couple of months. I think that it's absolutely wild how people are calling this game "mid". I'm typically against FPS games(the only other FPS I've ever enjoyed was Halo: Reach).
Mind Pulp Avatar Fists only run when?
14:30-the music in this segment is so nice. what is it
While the game is probably mid for alot of people, but it feels like a good game to just sit back and relax, just shoot things and explore :). But i'm not paying full price, i've played far cry 3 and 4 so i know what to expect, i wont pay over 40 bucks for this game unfortunately, 40 bucks is reasonable i think.
The last couple far cry games were down to $20 sales within roughly 6 months of their releases, so if history repeats then it should be pretty heavily discounted before summer, and probably have some DLC by then too.
I’ll still play far cry games but I always wait, and by the time all the DLC is out for each one, you can always get them for $20 or less on a sale for the deluxe versions. Happens every time.
Funny I don't think this feels like far cry at all, I completed 2, hated 3, played about half of 4, didn't touch 5 and hated 6. This game everything feels less gamey I think. Like the rda sites exist for a reason in world and destroying them fits the narrative. Whereas radio towers and compounds felt very forced and a bit nonsensical within those worlds. Do it because the game demands you do it.
9:06 eventually you can unlock a perk to where the arrows stick in them/ allows you to retrieve them.
...So, before that perk, the arrows are bouncing off them?
@@SakuraAvalonthe arrows "break" before the perk😂
That perk is such a classic in games where the RPG elements are just lazily tacked on so the game can advertise its RPG elements.
@@MrGermanletsplayerxD Those are some shitty arrows. lol
What platform are ya’ll playing this on? It honestly looks beautiful, idk if it will look the same on ps5
we played the PC version! :)
@@MindPulp ah
i've been playing it on a PS5 and it looks the same.
I'd honestly love to see mind pulp play John woo's strangle hold, such a great game man lmao
*My bloods boilin!!*
The sooner developer studios like ubisoft, Bethesda, and Ea goes out the business the better for gamers everywhere..
Yeah we could of done without Fallout 3,4 an NV, Skyrim Oblivion, Morrowind, ESO, Mirrors Edge, just to name a few what a moronic view to hold 😂
@AL-nv4gk oh so you can't name anymore mediocre games from the last 5 years that's been a hit? Only naming mediocre games that are trash that literally no one cares about? "Just consume product and get excited for next product." - you. Things change dummy.. they are too big for themselves at this point to make anything meaningful. Stop being a cuck.
20:11 "No one has ingredients like mine because I don't have any."
Still gotta keep pushing for you guys to play Sheep Raiders for the PsS1. Would be really rad if you did lol
Why can we never get a decent Terminator game?
There was the one from the makers of the new Robocop game, and the really old fps games from the 90s, and also pinball.
@Boltscrap T2 for the Sega Genesis was what I had and it was bullshit. You couldn't pass the 3rd level at all.
Terminator on Sega CD is good. Terminator Resistance is decent
I ended up refunding mine pretty much the same night after i played it a bit. It's alright but just something about it dont justify the $70+ imo. Feels more like a $45-$50 game at best
Ouch there's really a lot to come, from the intriguing crafting mechanics to bonding with an ikran.
@@phm6834 yea but still don't feel like a $70 game. I don't think it's bad at all but just feels overpriced. It feels like far cry primal and far cry new dawn put together in certain ways with an avatar skin over it.
I don't know much about the Avatar lore, but why are there human guns that are made conveniently for the size of Na'vis?
The RDA avatars use them. There are avatars (humans using Navi bodies) and natives
i see the beginning is like fc3 you are with your friend/sibling and they kill one of em and then you gotta escape some kind off camp
I think The game is definitely great as a exploration game full of lore.
But in terms of story it just follows the same mediocre one sided story writing.
Which is kind of a shame cause I thought a game format would of worked much better for Avatar story, but it’s works as a fun game I guess.
(I’m just judging it by gameplay footage, I didn’t played it myself)
I agree with you, Sleipnirthe.
The Navi are unfortunately Rousseau "noble savage" archetypes. They're written as (stereotypical) allegories for indigenous humans. Clumsy, embarrassingly tacky allegories. They're near-flawless, almost perfectly moral beings who take only what they need from the forest. No more, no less. They praise every animal they kill for its "gifts to the people." They're at one with the land, have a connection to the natural world (quite literally with their USB-Tentacle ponytails), and so on and so forth.
That one bloke who went hardcore at you in his now-deleted comments kept talking about how fresh it is to have a franchise that shows humans as bad. I'd counter that Avatar does no such thing. The Navi ARE humans. They're blue-skinned, cat-faced humans from the smurfoquis tribe. Avatar makes no effort whatsoever to show humans as bad. Quite the opposite, in fact. It loves humans/humanoids, so long as they toe the line regarding nature and know their place.
Instead, Avatar tries to show that modern society, industry, and science are bad. Technology in Avatar always involves rotting plants, rancid critter corpses, dead earth, oil sludge pools, smoggy skies, and corruption. Science is shown to have nothing worthwhile to offer compared to the magic of nature, which fulfills all the needs of the noble Smurfoquis tribe. Every humanoid tied to modernity is shown to be a loveless, miserable sour-sack. The only happy, good-guy humanoids are living in nature, snacking on alien kale and "going native" with the smurfoquis. It's dull and heavy-handed storytelling.
TLDR: Sleipnirthe, I think you're right. Avatar is a one-sided, tedious, boring narrative. It's a preachy environmentalist fever-dream.
Avatar would be a lot better if it took a more nuanced approach to science versus nature, but then Cameron would have to get off his soap box and stop preaching. Can't have that.
@@Ingel_Riday6690 tho I won’t everything.
Just gotta say, finally a person who agrees on me, someone else made a huge Yada yada about One sidedness and such.
I just have to delete and resend my comment
@@Ingel_Riday6690idk why so many people have so much hate for the movie. Yea those messages are true in many ways but it’s a clearly exaggerated for the sake of the message and the movie to be entertaining it’s not obviously not a representation of actual beliefs. The point of the Navi being like that is a kind of what if scenario where if a human like species grew to be one with nature in a sci fi unrealistic way. On top of that the movies main purpose was to create the most advanced and immersive cgi world possible at the time and you are supposed to want to be there. If the story was too complex you risk audiences not wanting to immerse themselves in the world and missing the mark on the main point.
I get some people don’t “agree” with some stuff in the movie but it’s so weird this level of hate I see with so many of you and the care you have for humans being bad . What I honestly think it is is that for some reason the movie is making you insecure, whether you think it’s talking about you or you can’t identify with something that doesn’t look like you.
Either way THEYRE NOT REAL HUMANS ITS A MOVIE WHY DO U CARE SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE BAD.
@@jamesgrottano5583 Again, Avatar doesn't show humans as bad. It shows science, technology, and modern society as bad. Spider is an okay dude. This game has plenty of friendly humans in the resistance base. Jake Sully of the movies was a human. Humans can be good... when they go smurf.
I don't care enough about Avatar to "hate" it. I find it disappointing. Oh sure, it's beautiful and visually stunning... but that's it. It's surface level deep, and that sucks. Also, I find the Rousseau philosophy stuff tedious.
Here, I'll give you some silliness: James Cameron's Avatar reminds me of Amish romance novels. There's a giant section in Books & Co. of nothing but them, and they're Rousseau "Noble Savage" as heck. In these books, the Amish are pure, simple people of the land. They take only what they need, farm organically, produce very little greenhouse gas, and have pious hearts. They live off the sweat of their brow, doing honest labor in the fields. Their children heed their elders, their adults have low divorce rates, and all is right in the land. "Oh, if only we could shed our soulless technology and modern lives! If only we could experience the bliss of the primitive! Put down that wretched cell phone and pick up that plow!"
I find all of the above bizarre. It's belittling to the Amish, who are put on pedestals as noble simpletons. It's belittling to modern society, which has accomplished a lot of good yet is demonized as foul and obscene. It's belittling to the intelligence of the reader, who is expected to bask in "the grass is always greener on the other side" rubbish. It's belittling to the trees, whose flesh is squandered as paper for these stories. Nobody wins. 😛
Avatar does the same thing with the smurfoquis tribe. It's the same hero worship of "primitiveness" and despising of modern technology and society (which is portrayed as hopelesslly corrupt and immoral)... only perhaps a bit funnier than the Amish novels, given that James Cameron relies on modern technology to make his visuals. Without the very modernity and industry that he tsk tsks, these films wouldn't exist at all.
@@Ingel_Riday6690 not true lmao
the fact i got a frontiers of pandora ad watching this
Seeing Ubisoft makes me immediately thought that there is a NFT stuff in this game. 😂
Ngl this feels like written by Marvels cuz they had this introducing characters then end em immediately trope, they expect you to feel something but they didn't let the player/viewer to invest with those characters.
I will never watch Avatar. I like James Cameron’s other movies, but I refuse to watch Avatar.
If I had a nickel for every bad Avatar game released in 2023, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
hello to all the mindpulp avatards out there
Why, hello there. (Fan of the first movie. Second was soulless crap.)
Still wanna see you play sittings ducks on ps2. Its a duck gta with a crocodiles
When you said it's a bonding experience, all I could think of is Rick and morty with the dragons lmao
