@@UncleBalthasarGeltIf he was a massive UA-camr I'd agree but he's gonna make some money somehow. Plus war thunder is not that bad. I've seen much more cringe ads from much bigger channels. Renn is cool!
I think it helps that he isn’t bothering people as much as he’s done in other videos. When they are coming up to him because they are just curious works better.
How dare you call this a tech demo. Tech demos are literally a positive as they demonstrate innovative tech and systems in a combined and formulated prototype. AVATAR FRONTIERS OF PANDORA DOES NONE, NOT ONE OF THAT.
@@tsrmmercy836 Hey, it has some cool audio tech, the forest ambience is dynamic, with the sounds actually coming from the environment Doesn't make it a good game tho
@@LightCrib2 That doesn't make it a "Tech demo". It's being sold as a finished product. A tech demo is where progress is scaled and marked in present and future. For example star citizen has quarters all marked with a specific tech implementation.
The idea of a blue dude connected to nature and uses bows and spears and everything coming from natural sources just pulling out a rifle as soon as a human appears cracks me up
@@founderofthenewworld1838 oh yeah, I know that it is rooted in history. It just feels a bit weird. When I first saw the movie in I believe 2018, I thought that they were gonna do something similar to what Aloy uses in the Horizon games. Y‘know, traditional weapons, modified through modern technology. So when I saw them go full Terminator mode the second the humans started evading… I don’t know… it just felt off. Edit: I finally remember why I dislike it so much! It’s basically the same reason why I dislike all the „white savior“ stuff (along with the „indigenous people = savages“ thing) these movies indulge in. The Na‘vi can‘t do anything for themselves. They need the big strong white guy with his big strong white guy tools just to accomplish anything. It’s because the movie tries to be anti-colonialism, while enforcing pro-colonialism stereotypes
The art director of this game really messed up. Pandora is vibrant and colorful. Like... look at the cover of your own game! It HAS to be oversaturated, that's core the Pandora experience! And they made it all gray and desaturated because that's how games are currently made. Just fire whoever was responsible for that, because it's SUCH an obvious and easily fixed failure. Then there is small things like: you have to hold a key in order to activate stuff like mushrooms, right? If you're smart, you let the touch animation play, WHILE you are holding the button, not after it. Because that will always feel more organic and made the half second wait feel less annoying. It's total amateur hour! This is stuff you could catch even if your only experience is having played videogames for a few years!
AAA developers need to start making the graphics for games and then outsource everything else to smaller developers who actually have talent and passion so the gameplay isn’t completely terrible.
I think it's more about the ones that are higher up than the developers themselves. They can have passion but they can't control executive decisions and do as they please with the game.
@@BBaaaaa It is true but what happening with your muscles in space when there is no gravity? Same thing what happening with those creative guys in these companies where every decision goes through suits. They slowly leave or became disinterested. I don't think Bethesda for example have any more creative talent left and I think Ubisoft only have creative talent in the graphic department.
A phrase pops into my head whenever i think of different companies, and when I think of Ubisoft, I think "the boring company". Everything from their logo to their game design philosophy is just bland and soulless
Like him or not but Renn is easily one of the most creative outside of the box thinking game content creators out there. The guy simply commits. Nothing but respect.
Man the only game that made Animal mount AI right was Red Dead Redemption 2, instead of being a "Flesh Vehicle" it has it own personality like some of them being skittish or fearless, responsive or not very responsive, this battle of frustration with it's own personality and mood it actually made me care more about the horse.
The horses actually have their own little AI and animation trees and the only "pre-baked" and robotic/programmed response is cliff edges, as they didn't want to just create an invisible wall or barrier but they had to basically make the horse afraid of ledges (iirc). Otherwise, all the horse movements are "logic trees" of different steps/gallops/avoids/etc and it really makes horse riding very fun and immersive.
We don't need any more Ubisnooze game sequels, they keep pumping out these games every few months, and then have to discount them after few weeks for 30% to break even 😂
Yeah, and I hope Jesus Christ himself appears before me to slap me on the ass and call me gay. Both that and Ubisoft making better games based on criticism are equally likely.
@yipperdeyip nah it's not, yall just pay attention to buzzfeed to much and thi k everything is woke or dei, newsflash, poc can be different things, women was main characters long before this game and no one was crying but now all of a sudden it's what woke? Unrealistic? Yea but fist fighting the pope was real huh...
@@gorillainacoupe420 Nobody's complaining about the woman. They're in every game now, but I can deal with that. It's the forced DEI, political virtue signalling, pandering and being lectured in media that is terribly written. That's a problem. Ubisoft games aren't good. They haven't been for a decade. They're unfinished, badly written, shallow toothless garbage. And you're a sheepy consoomer if you can't see that 🤡
Man, Renn, I just love the way you do the creative real life bits in your reviews. You've got to be the most entertaining reviewer on the platform. Great job on the higher volume output, I'm really enjoying it even though I'm sure it's been quite stressful for our favorite little boy.
The game looks absolutely beautiful but its gameplay is soooo hollow. Your video makes it feel like a student’s bad first indie game but with photorealistic assets.
One of the biggest missed opportunities in this game was not letting the player choose a faction, why? did they give the player character this whole backstory of being raised by humans and being completely unfamiliar with Navi culture if they are not going to take advantage of it.
@@Noob-yx1cuWhat you just said was objectively stupid. This game is bad for a multitude of reasons, the 2010 game was rather mediocre however the fact that you can choose which faction your on is indeed something that game has over this one.
I was pretty interested when I heard they were making an Avatar game, but that all immediately vanished when I heard it was Ubisoft. Even EA manages to make higher quality games than them these days
I have seen so many reviews of this game and you are literally the first person who bothered to actually go deeper than "meh it's ubisoft. It's just Far Cry but blue" Seriously. Thank you for actually using your braincells. Also, hehe car ikran funnee!
@@dvdbox360 The game is more padding then unique content. That is a bad game in my opinion. Nothing wrong with a small amount of padding but when every other quest feels the same as the last then it gets extremely repetitive. In an MMO you can get away with this but this is supposed to be a triple A open world game.
Spit my fucking drink out laughing when I looked up and saw you'd actually painted yourself blue. This is the best game review channel on this cursed platform and its not even close.
It's crazy that the Navi aren't dynamic actors in the world, considering that Ubisoft has nailed that type of world interaction in the Far Cry series, which this so heavily borrows from.
I find it SO weird that in a lot of far cry games the mechanics were to use wildlife to help you by attacking enemies and they just completely abandoned that in this game which would have made the MOST sense seeing as the Navi are so in touch with nature
Yeah i was expecting something like that in this game but i was shocked to see that they made a Terminator game instead of a real avatar game The map and the graphics are good but it is not enough to make me finish the game
@@chabbab6698 Get off the internet for a few days instead of being spiteful towards a guy you don't know. He's getting that green, and he painted himself blue, all for a game review. That's the perfect job and he's having some fun with it, if he decides to do some harmless sponsors to pad out his earnings, it isn't your place to judge him unless the sponsor is actually harmful, which isn't the case for War Thunder, unless you yourself are addicted to spending money on microtransactions, which wouldn't be Renn's fault. It helps to keep up a decent production value, if you're jealous of him for some reason, maybe try being a game reviewer yourself.
@@Jimbo-198just because I don’t know him doesn’t mean I can’t criticize him for being sponsored by a game with microtransactions which he stands against in other games
Of all the bloody studios out there they had to give it to Ubisoft. I bloody promise you if some small but passionate indie studio was tasked with making an Avatar game, with some financial backing it would be a masterpiece to go down the Gaming history.
This Ubisoft pandemic needs to stop. This review could've been applied not only to every Ubisoft game but to Ghost of Tsushima, the two Horizon games... The use special vision, find clue, hear character say some shit, search next clue, talk/fight combo triggered my PTSD
@@XxCorvette1xX To me it felt like a very beautiful Ubisoft game, but a Ubisoft game at the end of the day. The combat was ok if you only focused on doing main missions and the occasional side quest but it wasn't enough to carry the dozens of uninspired side quests and side activities.
Normally people would be like ''Oh another stupid baffoon filming for his UA-cam vlog!'' but since Ren is such a wholesome guy they all just react happy to it. Never change those awesome (and awkward) public appearances ^_^
17:20 this is the exact problem I had with AC valhalla. Whenever there was a collectible, half the time it always boiled down to "this is inside of a building or underground, how do I get there?" Often, it resulted in finding the correct angle to shoot something through a window, or finding a hidden entrance, or finding a key nearby. It slowed the game to a complete halt; I wasn't engaged in any way, I was just looking around to find the critical path to proceed. Apparently, shit like this is just part of the design document they use for all of their games now, which is sad to see.
And yet it’s gonna sell well and be a success for Ubisoft. My friend is super excited to play this when he gets his new graphics card solely because of the graphics. He told me that it’s a game for PC enthusiasts who can run it on the highest settings, and playing it any other way wont get you the same experience. I responded with “so it’s a bad game”
@@Oggre no it’s a pretty bad game from the little I played. The world is lifeless, the combat is mind numbingly easy, the guns don’t feel like they belong (it feels like somebody modded guns into far cry primal), there’s only two enemies types, the main antagonist quit literally disappears for most of the game.
Just want to say, Renn - as someone who just discovered your channel today thru this video, I am already falling in love with the passion and personality that every one of your videos puts on full display. Keep up the phenomenal work; you are so talented at what you do
I just feel bad for the people that worked on this game. They must've been all giddy to get to work on the official Avatar game, only to be pushed into a bad direction by the higher-ups...
Go to someone's place, they're not there, get sent somewhere else, go there, they're not there, get sent somewhere else, go there, they're not there.... Hey, it's life before cellphones!
Ubi “learning” and taking the weakest part of Ghosts of Tsushima (its open world side activities) and thinking they fixed their open world side activities, it is classic Ubisoft. That game was fun because of Combat and Story. Not its open world activities
I don't want to hear anyone talk about how Renn's ideas to better this game are unrealistic in a post baldurs gate 3 world! Video game's can do anything with the hardware power of modern gaming PC's and consoles. It's just about actualy caring about the small details and implementing those mechanics.
James Cameron's Avatar: The Game was better you could play as RDA or NAVI. There were tons of weapons. You could ride the ikran and the big wolf. As RDA the helicopters, mechs, cars. It was made like an single player mmo but it was fun.
I’m sorry but the irony of opening the comments on a video hating on Avatar just to see him say “click my link to play War Thunder!” Is absolutely hilarious
The only things I've enjoyed in this game is taking screenshots for wallpapers and the flight on ikran just a little bit. The world is very pretty but the game could've been *so much better* .. I hate how the character we play as sometimes won't shut up when flying and stuff. Also I hate how we can't pet direhorses.
I feel like the game would be so much better with dynamic encounters and a better progression system, like if you could encounter other groups of Na'vi like a hunting party hunting a herd and following a trail, or a healer gathering herbs, or even some Na'vi children just playing in the trees, but the fact that you can't find Na'vi walking around the world at all would make the environment seem really lifeless, and I'm so shocked that it's not a feature since so many other titles have a similar mechanic with random encounters (Skyrim does this really well). And for progression I feel like the game would've benefitted better from a more linear progression system but with a build you can customize, like you could have a build that lets you handle human weapons better, or better archery, better melee, etc. also its kinda criminal that there are no melee weapons?! like knives or clubs or spears or something? I'm pretty sure I've seen all those things while watching the movies so its weird there's none in the game. I definitely think and agree that Ubisoft couldn't take the game as far as they wanted to, because the IP put too many restrictions on them because they wanted it to be lore-friendly and canon to the movies, but they definitely could've done more with it if they had creative freedom and took some liberties with it. I feel like the biggest issue being that they kinda made the game for the same audience that would've watched the movies, and not actually for gamers.
Idea: Skills are not unlocked in a menu but instead you can obtain them by visiting navi tribes to unite them. You have to prove yourself, some are warriors and doing work for them gives you the option to visit one of their shrines to increase your strength or weapon skills. Another tripe prouds itself in its closeness with nature and you can basically do jump and run challenges in their extensive root filled cave syste,, the further you get, the more skills you can unlock until you reach the core, a big hunk of unobtainium surrounded by roots and effigees that show it has been reveered for millenia.
Love the mirrors edge OST in the background at the segmant talking about parkour I agree there should be more parkour based movement with momentum benefits for using the environment to move.
@@Johnnyb167Him complaining about movement being boring is entirely his fault. The movement is really great. He also says that the special movement plants are rare when thats not true at all
@@Johnnyb167 yeah I mean I get why someone can be burnt out of open world games. Doesn't make an open world game bad tho. I really want to try bg3 to change up my palette.
Now give us one where you play as an RDA soldier, make it quite hard since blue people strong, and make it the objectively better gaming experience so i can be happy
I love how we are all collectively giving Ubisoft the middle finger even though their paid youtubers tried their best to make this seem like a decent game before release.
This reminds me of all the game versions of movies they used to fart out in time to cash in on new movies before christmas. I thought we were past this.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a very basic reskin of Far Cry Primal. It's exactly the same game, slightly more boring and slightly more looking better because graphics updates from their Far Cry 6 build. It's really a chore to play. I tried it on Ubisoft+ and I'm happy I paid a 4th of the stand alone game and cancelled the plan 20 hours in the game. It's not great.
Yeah, I don't see how it's "exactly the same game." I think they are both different flavors of suck. The only similarity is the nature setting and you can use a bow.
Renn I love your dedication to the bit. Every single time you drop a video for something you do something wacky, funny or cringe sometimes all 3 together, but it makes the videos so much more than just a game review. Keep on keeping on, Renn, never change! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Waited before finishing the game just in case it got exciting and I spoiled anything for myself. I was wrong. The closest I had to having fun was fighting the endgame rank 20 outpost because it had a cool raid style mining laser boss. In other words: it was what every story mission should have been like.
The game is good. Dont believe the cringy spambot sheeple saying its just farcry with blue people. ubisoft made a good one for the first time in a while.
the game is good. like one comment said there is shortcomings but if you truly love open world games it’s for you. there isn’t as many random events per say but if you walk most the time you’ll find yourself discovering things about the game and the world. i’m probably about 30 hours in with only 35%-40% done with the man story. just got the ikran last night. i’m really enjoying it. don’t let negative reviews drive you away. you will notice the shortcomings but you will also notice the cool subtle relaxing parts of the game. i honestly enjoy cooking and hunting. i pretend im really in pandora. my biggest problem which the video talked about was the npcs are very bland and boring. i hope maybe this game can get polished up and new things and movements for the world around us can get better. if they plan on making another game im all for it.
Xen in that game puts to shame the capabilities of ubisoft as a game dev company source mods and devs are far more talented than the whitest cream of devs in ubisoft plus far more creative.
Soldires could have types like light medium and heavy. They can have sneaky special ops guys who grapple around and have ghili suits, they could have a flamethrower battalion, they could have squads that have a heavy gunner and a commander calling shots for the mechs. Literally thought about yhis for 2 minutes.
Been sick a good while, the gag at 5:45 sent me into a coughing fit with how funny and unexpected it was. Thanks for the great year of videos Renn, have a good holiday
I kinda wish you could switch between navi and human (you know an avatar) with being able to use weapons and vehicles/mechs as a human and being able to use the animals in combat as a navi, would at least create some much needed variety.
I truly don't understand how some people enjoyed this game and gave them "mixed reviews". This game is so terrible like is so bad. One of the most miserable experiences i had ever went through. This was such a snorefest of a game. This was as terrible the movies themselves filled with padding.

It's crazy that the Navi aren't dynamic actors in the world, considering that Ubisoft has nailed that type of world interaction in the Far Cry series, which this so heavily borrows from.
He also said how the game doesn't increase your speed when sliding down the slopes, and that was literally in FC6 so why tf is it not in this game?
This feels like it should've been a far cry spin off but what we got was a rushed 2000s movie game. Does that make sense?
@@HeySlickThatsMe bc your running speed increases when you run down a hill
@@josesosa3337 "rushed" it's been like 6 years in development
@@Noob-yx1cu thanks for the info.
I find it SO weird that in a lot of far cry games the mechanics were to use wildlife to help you by attacking enemies and they just completely abandoned that in this game which would have made the MOST sense seeing as the Navi are so in touch with nature
Yeah i was expecting something like that in this game but i was shocked to see that they made a Terminator game instead of a real avatar game
The map and the graphics are good but it is not enough to make me finish the game
Renn's commitment is always top notch
Yeah he coloured himself blue for a multiple thousand Dollar war thunder scam. He legit scammed US for the money
@@chabbab6698
Get off the internet for a few days instead of being spiteful towards a guy you don't know. He's getting that green, and he painted himself blue, all for a game review. That's the perfect job and he's having some fun with it, if he decides to do some harmless sponsors to pad out his earnings, it isn't your place to judge him unless the sponsor is actually harmful, which isn't the case for War Thunder, unless you yourself are addicted to spending money on microtransactions, which wouldn't be Renn's fault. It helps to keep up a decent production value, if you're jealous of him for some reason, maybe try being a game reviewer yourself.
Ubisoft's commitment to always releasing utter garbage is even more impressive
@@Jimbo-198just because I don’t know him doesn’t mean I can’t criticize him for being sponsored by a game with microtransactions which he stands against in other games
@@dajoker8998His content is free otherwise, I quite frankly can care less if it’s a crappy game as long as it isn’t outright a scam lol.
Of all the bloody studios out there they had to give it to Ubisoft.
I bloody promise you if some small but passionate indie studio was tasked with making an Avatar game, with some financial backing it would be a masterpiece to go down the Gaming history.
This Ubisoft pandemic needs to stop. This review could've been applied not only to every Ubisoft game but to Ghost of Tsushima, the two Horizon games...
The use special vision, find clue, hear character say some shit, search next clue, talk/fight combo triggered my PTSD
I thought people loved Ghost of Tsushima, no?
@@XxCorvette1xX
Ghost of Tsushima has great combat and environments, but it is laid out in a very far cry like way.
I don't really have a problem with that in theory, they just need to actually DO something with it.
@@XxCorvette1xX To me it felt like a very beautiful Ubisoft game, but a Ubisoft game at the end of the day.
The combat was ok if you only focused on doing main missions and the occasional side quest but it wasn't enough to carry the dozens of uninspired side quests and side activities.
@@XxCorvette1xXI think someone always has to hate on something. I loved Ghost and Horizon.
Ubisoft is basically a personification of wasted potencial at this point
Normally people would be like ''Oh another stupid baffoon filming for his UA-cam vlog!'' but since Ren is such a wholesome guy they all just react happy to it. Never change those awesome (and awkward) public appearances ^_^
Surprisingly there was a game tie in to the first movie and it forced you to use bows and melee weapons as a navi.
I got so used to seeing him being blue that when he appeared with his actual skin color it weirded me out for an instant.
17:20 this is the exact problem I had with AC valhalla. Whenever there was a collectible, half the time it always boiled down to "this is inside of a building or underground, how do I get there?" Often, it resulted in finding the correct angle to shoot something through a window, or finding a hidden entrance, or finding a key nearby. It slowed the game to a complete halt; I wasn't engaged in any way, I was just looking around to find the critical path to proceed. Apparently, shit like this is just part of the design document they use for all of their games now, which is sad to see.
And yet it’s gonna sell well and be a success for Ubisoft. My friend is super excited to play this when he gets his new graphics card solely because of the graphics. He told me that it’s a game for PC enthusiasts who can run it on the highest settings, and playing it any other way wont get you the same experience.
I responded with “so it’s a bad game”
Its not a bad game. But u wont have nothing "spécial " with it
@@Oggre no it’s a pretty bad game from the little I played.
The world is lifeless, the combat is mind numbingly easy, the guns don’t feel like they belong (it feels like somebody modded guns into far cry primal), there’s only two enemies types, the main antagonist quit literally disappears for most of the game.
@@huskycruxes7232 apart from the last part you are Lying
@@Noob-yx1cu once you get out of the honeymoon phase you’ll come around.
@@huskycruxes7232 alright then
Just want to say, Renn - as someone who just discovered your channel today thru this video, I am already falling in love with the passion and personality that every one of your videos puts on full display. Keep up the phenomenal work; you are so talented at what you do
Ubisoft is a decaying, rotting corpse of what it was.
I just feel bad for the people that worked on this game. They must've been all giddy to get to work on the official Avatar game, only to be pushed into a bad direction by the higher-ups...
28:40 "I tried cancelling it out by eating... blue waffles" 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮 good lord Renn is dedicated to his craft
Go to someone's place, they're not there, get sent somewhere else, go there, they're not there, get sent somewhere else, go there, they're not there....
Hey, it's life before cellphones!
every single part of this video feels masterfully crafted
And then they outdid themselves with Skull and Bones.
I noticed oddly positive reception for this game. I have no clue why
Same, I'm pretty sure those people were paid off by ubisoft
@@cloudbloomThis is getting ridiculous
@@cloudbloom even ACG became a shill, first with starfield and now this
@@CorruptedDoggIts true alot of people play games just for turning their brain off. Thats why ubisoft is still in business.
@@IndicatedGoodLifepeople tend to do that when the game is good
This game checks the box of "we did it, we made The Movie: The Game" and nothing else.
Ubi “learning” and taking the weakest part of Ghosts of Tsushima (its open world side activities) and thinking they fixed their open world side activities, it is classic Ubisoft. That game was fun because of Combat and Story. Not its open world activities
lmao ghost of tsushima is exactly like Afop in its open world
Ghost of Tsushima is one step above Ubisoft…but it’s still boring as shit as soon as the pretty graphics stop wowing u.
First time watching this channel, the moment i saw u blue i knew the man puts in quality content 🤣, subbed 👍🏻
I don't want to hear anyone talk about how Renn's ideas to better this game are unrealistic in a post baldurs gate 3 world! Video game's can do anything with the hardware power of modern gaming PC's and consoles. It's just about actualy caring about the small details and implementing those mechanics.
Its so sad, this game could've been good, and all they had to do it make it a farcry 5 reskin.
James Cameron's Avatar: The Game was better you could play as RDA or NAVI. There were tons of weapons. You could ride the ikran and the big wolf. As RDA the helicopters, mechs, cars. It was made like an single player mmo but it was fun.
It's not bettt
I honestly agree. I loved playing that game more
I’m sorry but the irony of opening the comments on a video hating on Avatar just to see him say “click my link to play War Thunder!” Is absolutely hilarious
"I want her to be blue"😂 I fucking love renn
The only things I've enjoyed in this game is taking screenshots for wallpapers and the flight on ikran just a little bit. The world is very pretty but the game could've been *so much better* .. I hate how the character we play as sometimes won't shut up when flying and stuff. Also I hate how we can't pet direhorses.
omg i laughed so much when it just panned to him being blue😭
I feel like the game would be so much better with dynamic encounters and a better progression system, like if you could encounter other groups of Na'vi like a hunting party hunting a herd and following a trail, or a healer gathering herbs, or even some Na'vi children just playing in the trees, but the fact that you can't find Na'vi walking around the world at all would make the environment seem really lifeless, and I'm so shocked that it's not a feature since so many other titles have a similar mechanic with random encounters (Skyrim does this really well).
And for progression I feel like the game would've benefitted better from a more linear progression system but with a build you can customize, like you could have a build that lets you handle human weapons better, or better archery, better melee, etc. also its kinda criminal that there are no melee weapons?! like knives or clubs or spears or something? I'm pretty sure I've seen all those things while watching the movies so its weird there's none in the game.
I definitely think and agree that Ubisoft couldn't take the game as far as they wanted to, because the IP put too many restrictions on them because they wanted it to be lore-friendly and canon to the movies, but they definitely could've done more with it if they had creative freedom and took some liberties with it. I feel like the biggest issue being that they kinda made the game for the same audience that would've watched the movies, and not actually for gamers.
Idea:
Skills are not unlocked in a menu but instead you can obtain them by visiting navi tribes to unite them.
You have to prove yourself, some are warriors and doing work for them gives you the option to visit one of their shrines to increase your strength or weapon skills.
Another tripe prouds itself in its closeness with nature and you can basically do jump and run challenges in their extensive root filled cave syste,, the further you get, the more skills you can unlock until you reach the core, a big hunk of unobtainium surrounded by roots and effigees that show it has been reveered for millenia.
The glitches I’ve run into are insane
this game feels like how Blood Dragon felt (despite not playing nearly as well or being as iconic) like a reskinned spinoff far cry game
Love the mirrors edge OST in the background at the segmant talking about parkour I agree there should be more parkour based movement with momentum benefits for using the environment to move.
I'm sorry but he just didn't engage with the parkour that much
@@Noob-yx1cu?
@@Johnnyb167Him complaining about movement being boring is entirely his fault. The movement is really great. He also says that the special movement plants are rare when thats not true at all
@@Noob-yx1cu glad your atleast enjoying the game I don't enjoy open-world games as much.
@@Johnnyb167 yeah I mean I get why someone can be burnt out of open world games. Doesn't make an open world game bad tho. I really want to try bg3 to change up my palette.
Now give us one where you play as an RDA soldier, make it quite hard since blue people strong, and make it the objectively better gaming experience so i can be happy
I love how we are all collectively giving Ubisoft the middle finger even though their paid youtubers tried their best to make this seem like a decent game before release.
lmao
This is the first video I’ve seen from you, and it’s amazing all the real life segments are pretty funny. Keep it up!
This reminds me of all the game versions of movies they used to fart out in time to cash in on new movies before christmas. I thought we were past this.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a very basic reskin of Far Cry Primal. It's exactly the same game, slightly more boring and slightly more looking better because graphics updates from their Far Cry 6 build. It's really a chore to play. I tried it on Ubisoft+ and I'm happy I paid a 4th of the stand alone game and cancelled the plan 20 hours in the game. It's not great.
No
Yeah, I don't see how it's "exactly the same game." I think they are both different flavors of suck. The only similarity is the nature setting and you can use a bow.
Renn I love your dedication to the bit. Every single time you drop a video for something you do something wacky, funny or cringe sometimes all 3 together, but it makes the videos so much more than just a game review. Keep on keeping on, Renn, never change! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I want a game where I can bring death and devastation to Pandora.
omg like a human vs navi kind of situation I totally agree? what about a battle Royale
You sorta can in the first game. You can play as RDA
@@VolcanicTendencies I forgot about that, thank you!
@@kinghoodofmousekind2906 course no problem! Hope ya have fun if you play it
Waited before finishing the game just in case it got exciting and I spoiled anything for myself. I was wrong.
The closest I had to having fun was fighting the endgame rank 20 outpost because it had a cool raid style mining laser boss. In other words: it was what every story mission should have been like.
The tragic irony is that I bought this game while watching this and will probably still get that fan level enjoyment out of it.
Gamers are rating it a fair bit higher than game reviewers. Seems like gamers are enjoying it quite a bit.
Despite the shortcomings listed in the video, I'm still enjoying it myself.
The game is good. Dont believe the cringy spambot sheeple saying its just farcry with blue people. ubisoft made a good one for the first time in a while.
the game is actually good
the game is good. like one comment said there is shortcomings but if you truly love open world games it’s for you. there isn’t as many random events per say but if you walk most the time you’ll find yourself discovering things about the game and the world. i’m probably about 30 hours in with only 35%-40% done with the man story. just got the ikran last night. i’m really enjoying it. don’t let negative reviews drive you away. you will notice the shortcomings but you will also notice the cool subtle relaxing parts of the game. i honestly enjoy cooking and hunting. i pretend im really in pandora.
my biggest problem which the video talked about was the npcs are very bland and boring. i hope maybe this game can get polished up and new things and movements for the world around us can get better. if they plan on making another game im all for it.
also: avatar is not a person... avatar meaning profile image in Internet
The Xen level in Black mesa feel like a better alien world than this one. And Xen isn't even the main part of that game!
and dont forget how Black Mesa utterly blew their version of Xen out of the park
Xen in that game puts to shame the capabilities of ubisoft as a game dev company source mods and devs are far more talented than the whitest cream of devs in ubisoft plus far more creative.
@@tonivoul1971 That's not inclusive. Now the cream of Ubisoft is brown, black, and queer
Soldires could have types like light medium and heavy. They can have sneaky special ops guys who grapple around and have ghili suits, they could have a flamethrower battalion, they could have squads that have a heavy gunner and a commander calling shots for the mechs. Literally thought about yhis for 2 minutes.
It is always a good day when Renn posts a new vid. Happy holidays to all :)
Ubisoft needs to hire you to help fix this game. All valid points
1:41 That look. That damned look. It melts my heart and erects my tent.
Your camping tent... Right? Right?! 😂
after hearing Renn speak Na'vi I now know they are just Gungans in body paint.
I loved this game purely for the fact that there's water, earth, fire, and air in it. This makes any Avatar fan lose their minds.
Been sick a good while, the gag at 5:45 sent me into a coughing fit with how funny and unexpected it was. Thanks for the great year of videos Renn, have a good holiday
Did you take the Vax?
@@capnphuktard5445 they're still alive so probably 😂😉

I kinda wish you could switch between navi and human (you know an avatar) with being able to use weapons and vehicles/mechs as a human and being able to use the animals in combat as a navi, would at least create some much needed variety.
I am once again asking how Renn does not have over a million subs. Top tier channel
16:36 Renn almost got sucked into the manosphere for a sec
I honestly forget Ubisoft is even a thing anymore
I knew this game would be terrible since the first day I saw the poster.. It's so easy to spot games that'll fail.
This channel continues to be gold

Rofl
I love how you timed that to the music
You know its bad when there is more enemy variety in James Camerons original Avatar game
No way dude did a whole ad read in Na'Avi's langauge
Expecting a good game from Ubisoft is like trying to polish a turd
I truly don't understand how some people enjoyed this game and gave them "mixed reviews". This game is so terrible like is so bad.
One of the most miserable experiences i had ever went through. This was such a snorefest of a game. This was as terrible the movies themselves filled with padding.
A pair of blue surgical gloves would've been highly recommended for your cosplay scenario.
That was one hell of an intro, I had to pause to actually fully process that lyrical prowess. Good job, I guess
No kidding on the animation looking unfinished, the OG Avatar Wii game my brother and I played as kids in 2009/10 looks LEAGUES better
Far cry is very fun, this Avatar game is very beautiful but it's the most boring game i ever played.
such a wasted opportunity cause this universe is so beautiful. amazing review btw
