As I get older, I lean more and more towards the RPG 'experience', as opposed to the 'go to marker A, shoot some things, go to the next marker' of linear shooters. This looks likely to take me further into the lean
Completely agree but I have no patience so I will be the one leaving review first week 😂. I was pre-ordering games from Bethesda, what can be worse? (I did ban Bethesda is my books. Pirate life is the way here🦜🏴☠️ YOHOHO and stream of torrent )
@@ShoddyLegion I don't do multiplayer, and single player campaigns are simply not worth the money now being asked. MW2 lasted around 6 hours. I've put over 100 into Starfield and countless into Cyberpunk. If they released Campaign Only Versions at a (substantially) lower price point, then maybe I'll reconsider buying them again
Yep, when I saw the delays, and recent Ubisoft games, I wrote this off as 'it's gonna be boring and very very subpar', but after seeing different youtubers play it, I am actually quite excited. It still has the ubisoft open world aspects, but it feels like a more fleshed out far cry primal, which I loved despite it being a spin off.
As someone who's loved Avatar since the first movie first came out, I'm super excited about this game. Ubisoft be damned I'll buy this game and do everything possible
@Variapolis I completely agree. People are heavy on the Ubisoft aspect, honestly me included, but I have genuine faith in this one. I don't believe it'll be the same cookie cutter Far Cry game we've gotten in years past
the looting minigame is neat and different but how many times do you want to do that mechanic while looting bushes, plants etc? it will get stale quick and probably moded out like in starfields lockpicking.
That depends. Starfields lock picking requires you to be like, thinking about it a bunch and it takes a long time, especially for higher level locks. Conversely, the harvesting thing looks a lot simpler and quicker. It looks like you could get it done in less than a second if you're good at it. However, we don't know yet. Have high hopes, but low expectations.
This is the first preview Ive watched and so far this puts it on my list too, but firmly on the same list with all Ubisoft games: "Games Best Bought On Sale"
Bit offtop but I have a question, are you going to play The Invincible from Starward Industries? That game looks wild. It's atom-punk, retro futuristic, highly stylised puzzle game(?) I guess
Im gonna hold off until this actually releases. Given that they flew him out and likely also paid for his hotel, let him in their studio, and let him play their game, Its expected he's naturally going to say mostly good things. I dont trust it.
Man, I'm a native Swede, move to the US at 9 and now live in Australia with my wife and 5 kids. But man, I wouldn't want to be Sweden these days, it's not what it once was. As for the game, it looks okay, I don't trust anything Ubisoft, but congrats on the opportunity.
Yah, for me if the story isn't very good, I wouldn't enjoy it that much. So hopefully they make it so you meet interesting characters and has an interesting story. Running around doing random things is only fun for a little while.
i am so glad this is getting a possative response from almost everyone. as it deserves it ,this is not a cash grab on the franchise but a fully fleashed out game they have put a lot of work and thought into. but i was sold as soon as the first real trailer came out showing game footage. i dont care if it was called far cry 6 as its different enough from all the others.
I share your enthusiasm for the films, but this looks like far cry game and not game made for the world of pandora. So I think this will be that kind of experience of yeah it's neat but will fall off really quick by copy and paste content. I still want it to be good but not holding my hopes up.
It's pretty weird because my most to anticipated games are not even from a developer it's actually from Mars Beyond Skyrim anything from it and skyblivion I would also say skywind as well but yeah I am looking forward to them more than anything else now that's saying something about the game industry and where it's heading that people are actually more interested in a mod than a real retail game
Its just another reskin of Far Cry with some new mechanics but mostly it has the exact same stuff and that's why it gets boring quickly. It's the same game. It's just wearing a new coat.
I'm not a fan of Avatar - at all. However. I love Far Cry 4 and 5 because of how organic it felt exploring, FC4 more so than 5. These are two of my top favorite open world games. So if I can have those quiet, peaceful moments of just climbing down a random cavern that you find randomly while exploring, this is a day one purchase.
Had it pre-ordered since it was announced. Avatar is one of my favourite franchises and with Ubisoft making the game and it having a Far Cry gameplay vibe I was sold instantly. Also glad they focussed big on the music. The soundtracks for both movies and other media are some of my all time favourite.
One of the problems I see is it is not like in the movie. They had to thin things out a bit so your computer would not explode basically. They also used a bunch of stock assets... Earth plants and trees with only a few Pandora specific plants mixed in. It just did not have the feel on the world from the first movie (I have not seen the second). Not sure about the guns either. Even they were used in parts of the end battle and a few other spots, gun were NOT the main focus. It sounds like the collecting of plants and animals is pretty satisfying so I think they should have focused on that. Maybe they do as these are pre-saved games in specific spots to show it off. Maybe the guns are very late game. While I liked the first movie there was one thing that pissed me off. Yes it was a basic Pocahontas story with the Avatar bodies and the handicapped stuff mixed in, but the setting was HEAVILY ripped off from Alan Dean Foster's Mid Flinx book (part of he Pip and Flinx story line in his very large Commonwealth series). They whole jungle world with advanced humans trying to survive and exploit the world and a native population with low tech. The race had bonds with the plants and animals and formed permanent bonds with creatures. They lived in the trees, the trees could communicate with each other like a planet sized mind. When people died their bodies were sealed into knots in the trees so the trees would absorb them... The similarities are just too much. This book was a New York Time Best Seller and Camron stated he was a sci-fi fan and likely would have read it. He also said he had been working on the story for something like 25 years but the technology was not good enough to show off his dreams. The book was released before this even. It is an obvious rip-off. He could have at least give a nod to him for inspiring him, but no... he gave no recognition and that bothers me. I have been reading all of Alan Dean's Commonwealth and a few other series since I was a teenager. He is probably in my top 5 author list. Sadly a lot of my favorite authors are dying off. It is sad really as few newer authors seem to write anywhere near as good of books. I do like Harry Potter (I do NOT like the movies... especially from 4 on), but Robert Jordan, Robert Asprin, Terry Goodkind, and my favorite author Terry Pratchett are all dead. There are likely others but since many no longer write I do not follow them as much. Alan Dean Foster is 77 now, Terry Brooks is 79, Raymond Feist is 78, L. E. Modesitt Jr. is 80... L. E. Modesitt Jr. is my second favorite author and he is still writing, but for how long?
2 player Co-op! Count me it! ❤ I don't play anything anymore that I can't play co-op. Plus Im all about the FAR CRY series with coop so this is a no brainer.
@JuiceHead Would you say that this game is better or worse than the first " Avatar The Game " because if it's anything close to the first game it's going to be a goty contender. I truly believe the first game was ahead of it's time
I already know I'm going to like this game. I like avatar I love farcry and I love first person shooters I love beautiful open world games and I love a single player story and I love good graphics and yeah I know I'll like this game so I'll be getting it. Just not pre ordering it that's not really my thing. The only time I'll pre order is if they give the game 3 days early cuz other wise what's the point?
well let me tell you , assassins creed would be go to marker movie like where older ppl would lean , far cry to low cam,with a stick in the low grass , boring feeling , these bots would say the same if it would got out far cry primal now , if avatar gonna be 113$ with season pass ,is not gonna be a discount wait , ul buy it.
I'm seeing it here for the first time and to be honest it looks like it should have been released together with the first avatar movie) And in 2023... I don't know
Why do game developers insist on forcing people in to third person on mounts? I mean I kind of get it with vehicles, because with many of them your view is obstructed.
when i saw they gonna make an new avatar game and i saw the gamplay and i asked to much where is the human gameplay i played the james Cameron avatar the video game alot and i mostly played the human story then the navi one im somewhat disepointing
This jungle is gonna get old real if there aren't a lot of interesting POIs and things to find exploring. Even just watching this vid, things seemed to be a bit "samey". I mean how long can you wander around the jungle til it's just a jungle I think a real issue for them to overcome is that we've all seen Pandora, above and below the water. We know what's there and what it looks like and that's a real problem fir the devs. I mean you wander around Skyrim or oblivion or etc. And you don't know what's there or what you're gonna find. And the far cry games were good but an Avatar fame games to be, above all, AVATAR. I don't really have any good advice for the devs except if this foes turn into merely a far cry fame painted to look like Avatar, it's gonna fail. I don't know how but you need to put the soul of avatar into the game. I hope they find a way but I didn't see it in this vid.

This gives off major Far Cry Primal vibes. I don't think this will be a title I drop $70 on, but may snag over a sale and do a playthrough.

Yes plsss
They just need to add melee weapons and stealth takedowns. All I need, everything else is pure chefs kiss
You survived a whole day in Malmö without getting stabbed, shot or molested in any other way? Well colour me impressed!
if it looks like a jungle and sounds like a jungle, it's probably an Ubisoft game.

The sound design in this game is real good.
Need a DLC with the characters from the movies!!
There will be dlcs. Maybe the sea areas
Far Cry: Avatar Edition
Honestly i just want to become a Toruk Makto if it's in the game
Why does the arrow cover the whole target? Or did I miss something
God, there is something wrong with me when alI I can see is the left handed first person view. 😬
now the question i wanna know is, can I be the true good guys. The RDA
No. Humans are the bad guys now. Haven't you heard? lol..
Remember: no pre-order, zero expectation, and wait several weeks to purchase a triple A game.
Am I a bad person for wanting to play as the humans?
That's what you get for cutting down that tree bro 😂
i can already play it, it’s called Far Cry
Nope, but nice try tho
Far Cry Primal was kino, this is going to be great
I'd rather play the game as one of the humans, it would be like an open world military survival sim crossed with pokemon... Gotta catch 'em all!
I'm sure there will be so much more to the game then what you played . And if there isn't I'll be very upset .

Probably going to wait for a really low discount or even a free trial period for ps premium.
Looks Ok. But I'll wait a few weeks to see what the general consensus of the gaming community thinks.
Looks like a solid 6/7 out of 10
My dream would be to get this type of world in Starfield
I want a game in which you can play as the Humans.
There is one 😊
Far Cry Primal meets blue skin.
Probably online only, I've kind of given up on Ubisoft and the online only stuff.
You are wrong

Which Far Cry this DLC is for?

Since you ARE an enormous blue thing, shouldn't human weapons look like toys in your hands rather than human proportionate?
