      There's some pretty neat games out there like the Touhou Puzzle Bobble for Switch that's actually made by Taito. There's also a lot of not-so-good ones like Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle.

    I used to be a store manager at the Avatar area of Walt Disney World at DAK. I also did this years ago to prep myself on the lore. Mostly, no one gave a shit about the lore and just liked the rides. Except one guy. Navi Bob. Fucking Navi Bob. Came to the park almost every day in almost full hybrid safari/avatar vibes and tried speaking to people in Navi, which he was fluent in. Nobody spoke it. There was also a lady who showed up often with a hyperrealistic Navi baby in a carrier. She would tell unprompted it cost $600.
    Weird job.

    I think one of the reasons the movie was a huge success besides the "Made for 3D" thing (and James Cameron's name) is the large amount of worldbuilding and effort put into creating the setting and creatures, which are then portrayed with really good effects and CGI that still hold up, frankly IMO this interesting setting/worldbuilding was really held back by that simplistic cliché plot, which is why I'm interested in seeing what kind of plot they will use in the sequels and how much they will expand the setting.

    • @germanleal

      The CGI not only holds up, it looks better than 90% of modern films. Also, besides the cliche plot, Cameron did an awesome job on the directing.

    As someone who played the Multiplayer fairly extensively on 360. I'm gonna give a short perspective on it. It was horribly balanced (Weapon loadouts were determined by your level in the single player if I'm not mistaken, so if you finished the game you had a massive advantage over someone who for whatever reason had not), yet kinda fun due to the jank.
    You always go RDA. Certain parts of the maps would funnel the Na'vi players, letting the RDA just completely massacre them.
    I used the Nail Gun myself.
    I nailed a bunch of Na'vi back in the day. Didn't even need a hair erection. Good times.

    My favorite example of different games with the exact same box art actually doesn't come from a licensed game. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands was released in time for the movie and the PS3/360 game was completely different from the Wii/PSP version. Not only with gameplay, but the stories are completely unrelated and neither of them tie into the film they were trying to promote.

They could have gone basic and called it E-119 (the 119th element) and it would have been fine. It feels like unobtanium was a placeholder name in the original script that just...stuck and was never changed.

A lot of people discredit Avatar, from its copying of plot elements to an uninspired score compared to a very cool project that paid for musicians to hear from indigenous people across the world to give the Navi a unique sound that was ultimately scrapped. I also think they underestimate how cool it was to kids. Big battles on a planet that looks like our, but with otherworldly elements. And visually, especially for the time, it was the only movie of that high quality graphics to bring those kid’s dreams of a greener planet with a cool tree house to life. It was a monopoly for the time of giving kids another world to escape into, and i think thats what these games were trying to capitalise on.

    What I think is a great example of vastly different games using the same exact boxart, is Petz Carz 2 (or Dogz 2 for the dog version). On PC and DS, it's about what you'd expect - a pet raising game, like Nintendogs and other games in the Petz franchise. On Wii and PS2, however, it's a story-driven adventure game, like an Okami for ages 3+. It's in fact a Japanese game by a company called Yuke's, originally titled Nyanko to Mahou no Boushi (Kitty and the Magic Hat), or Wanko (Doggy) for the dog version. Said magic hat is used by the main villain, an evil wolf named Ivlet (who your player character gets tricked into freeing from prison) to drive all the animals of the land berserk. Worst thing is, the cover seems downright scared of informing you of the difference - the JP version is the only one clear about the sort of game it is, showing Ivlet, with the EU one implying it by mentioning the presence of enemies on the back cover, while US tries its best to hide this completely.

    my little brother got the wii game for his birthday way back in 2010. he'd gotten stuck on the combat-flying level and i had to learn it from the ground up and get past it. no sweat off my back though, it became one of my favorite childhood games and I ended up playing it more than him xD
    I am hoping the strides in the industry as a whole can carry the new upcoming games somewhere great and unlock that special feeling of exploring pandora.

    This was a fun watch, the "so you don't have to" series has been great
