Shitting on a decent game while promoting War Thunder is a bit ingenuine.
Renn just pirate these games instead😎
@@UncleBalthasarGeltwar thunder is nice
NO!
@@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!
The people getting a kick out of him being all blue instead of being rude is actually kind of wholesome
101/10 wholesome reddit blue chungus moment
Blue privilege
Why would they be rude? He's not hurting anyone
People tend to be a lot less rude out in public in general than they are behind the anonymity of the interwebs.
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.
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
Accurate
They do the exact same in the film tbf
@@LewisG0508and tbf, it was pretty weird and out of place there too
sounds like your typical.....
@@KeDe1606it’s the same in the Middle East, the natives using the weapons of the imperialists
Going up and saying “I’ve tried cancelling it out by eating blue waffles” to those poor girls is the most unhinged thing I’ve ever seen.

@@aidantaylor117sexy laugh you must have
This tech demo looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous. Shame Ubisoft forgot to make a game on top of it.
when i heard a next gen Avatar game was in development, i was so excited.
when i heard Ubisoft was the dev, i was so shitted.
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.
@@tsrmmercy836
Dude i know lol
That guy had you in the palm of his hand and let you go. He met a real life Avatar and just walked away.
He was scared of becoming an avatar himself.
but they're taller? what's so scary about becoming taller@@benwilson6256

@@kallum7959 it’s 2023 can we be a lil inclusive? Thanks.
The moment i saw him in blue i said "Oh god, he's into public like that isnt he"
Like Tobias from Arrested Development. 😂
He got thousand of Dollars for a war thunder scam ad. I would paint myself blue too for this lol
Its a scam? @chabbab6698
@@chabbab6698 what scam ad?
@@Dusterdimmu81 He really blue himself in public for this review.
I think a survival kinda game would fit this universe way more then a linear story shooter.
like add some actual trash mobs liek jsut make oyu a guy so your both fighitng mechs and hunting navi mabye there blood is used for medical shit
Could have went an unique way compared to other survival game too. Where if you endlessly expand/exploit, the planet will hate your ass
This isnt a linear shooter?
Imagine something as immersive as Subnautica, but its Avatar themed
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.
Bethesda just giving their engine and assets to Obsidian gave us the best game Bethesda ever made, so I second this.
The character development! Renn really went from "I'm blue da-ba-di-da-ba-die" to "I'm good yeah I'm feeling alright". Such an inspiration!!
He is scamming us
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
I believe their company motto is “Whatever”
@@fabioenchilada9384 lmao
Do Activision-Blizzard next
@@QueryBuns one of the biggest fall offs in gaming history
Ubisoft didn’t make this game they are only the publisher. Massive games developed it
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.
This makes the 2010 movie tie in game way better because of the faction choice.
@@soulfulcabbage7616 no lol
Then The Last of Us 1 must be a terrible game because you can only play as Joel lol
@@Noob-yx1cu The 2010 game is way better than this one
@@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.
Oh dear, will he rip out his eyes and chop off his arms to install cybernetics for Cyberpunk 2077?
It's the least he could do.
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.
yeah right. using a horse in rdr2 is the worst part of the game stop trying to excuse it
@@Noob-yx1cuNah it’s my favorite part. The rockstar physics engine is unbeatable
@@Noob-yx1cuits literally not for alot of people
@@EH-so3rp cap
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.
Your ideas to improve the game are legitimately brilliant, and I hope Ubisoft factors them all in if they ever want to do a sequel to this
meh
@@Noob-yx1cu Absolutely mindblowingly deep response, I'm gonna have to sit on that one for a bit
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.
This game won’t get a sequel. Ubisoft probably only made this to hold onto the game license for Avatar.
I feel like this was originally supposed to be a VR 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
"Following a trail of butterflies for two minutes that lead you to a fruit that you can 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬"🤣🤣
My body must've known this was about to release and woke me up.
"Ubisoft's WORST Game Yet"
And then along came Skull and Bones.
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
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.
If Taco Bell was a UA-camr
@@proggz39 explain
huh..looks like one of those bot comments..
basic ahh youtube comment
Yeah but he’s got nothing on the creativity of Grim Beard.
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.
He deserves so much more views than the idiotic rage baiters.
He scammed you for a thousand Dollar war thunder scam lol
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
The Navi ponytail car key almost blew soda from my nose.
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.
yikes..
I’m incredibly bored of Ubisofts open world design. It always feels like filler and a tool to hide loot and skill related stuff in. They’ve turned everything into Far Cry. Whether you’re playing The Division, Ghost Recon, Watchdogs, or Assassins Creed the grind is fundamentally the same, the only difference is atmosphere
This isn't lime far cry
@@Noob-yx1cu it’s not lemon watchdogs either
I wouldn't even mind that, except they even fucked that up; going from Far Cry 3 to 4 had clear, good mechanical upgrades, with more emergent gameplay and a better loop. But since then, it's all been downhill; they're not even giving us a good loop, it's just tons of tons of stuff that merely exists.
@@billjacobs521no it didn’t far cry 4 was just a reskin that added nothing revolutionary new just some minor things
@@dajoker8998 buh improvements none the less (besides the Villain)
Ubisoft is a decaying, rotting corpse of what it was.
I did not play this game but I already did by playing other Ubisoft games. Never preorder and never buy full priced Ubisoft games!!
Ubisoft is what happens when people keep giving a company money without accountability. Stop giving money to them.
the game wasn't even that bad
@@dvdbox360Then keep buying it
You're right, it wasn't necessarily poorly made. Just extremely boring, which is worse than bad.@@dvdbox360
Bad game makes money thanks to influencers talking about how bad it is
In the short run, sorta, but it tends to more heavily damage their reputation in the long run.@@franksblends2516
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
@@JimboPb05just 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.
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!
Expect he doesn't use his braincells
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!
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
"I want her to be blue"😂 I fucking love renn
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.
Surprisingly there was a game tie in to the first movie and it forced you to use bows and melee weapons as a navi.
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.
omg i laughed so much when it just panned to him being blue😭
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.
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 ^_^
every single part of this video feels masterfully crafted
"Couldn't differ from the movies too much"
...Meanwhile every other video game about a movie doing literally what ever they want with their game.
The fact that this game is getting positive reviews proves that gaming is only going to get worse.
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
C'mon now
But Madden though...
I mean… kinda? But this is definitely more of a „comparing trash to garbage“ kind of situation
No they don't.
They're both garbage.
Same
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
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!
It’s amazing how I could just look at 3 seconds of footage from a game and tell its generic Ubisoft garbage
28:40 "I tried cancelling it out by eating... blue waffles" 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮 good lord Renn is dedicated to his craft
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your editing is always great. Nice 'icing' on the cake at the end.
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 :)
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.
A pair of blue surgical gloves would've been highly recommended for your cosplay scenario.
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 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
Really never understood the appeal of the movies. The actual Avatars are disproportioned, uncanny valley monsters, the way they tower in the environment sends chills up my spine. I saw we should’ve taken over and stolen their land.
First, they are Na'vi, not avatars :D Second, they are the most beautiful aliens I've ever seen. And I'm a sci-fi nerd so I seen a lot. Third, "I saw we should’ve taken over and stolen their land." Over my dead body 😅
I am once again asking how Renn does not have over a million subs. Top tier channel
This game checks the box of "we did it, we made The Movie: The Game" and nothing else.
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.
first video of yours i see and you earned my subscription what a great and comedic video while still being very informative and intriguing.
I always look forward to your uploads. A sincere thank you for the hard work you put in to every one of your videos
You really are my favorite little boy on the internet
Thank you for all of the entertainment this year! Merry Christmas, Renn
after hearing Renn speak Na'vi I now know they are just Gungans in body paint.
This game needed a parkour system. This world has areas that look really good, i dont think anyone disagrees, but its super shallow when you cant do much with it.
Literally far cry but worse.
No lmao

@@MarkLoganFIB oh right.
Yeah, from the company that makes Assassin's Creed, so what excuse do they have?
Every time I hear that Sim 1 soundtrack nostalgia hits me. Oh man, that game had some of the best music.
Just for the commitment to the bit and painting yourself blue.. I'm subbing.
Ubisoft needs to hire you to help fix this game. All valid points
This channel continues to be gold
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.
Expecting a good game from Ubisoft is like trying to polish a turd
Nothing can be worse than AC Valhalla
and FC6
@@joolkatorYeah i enjoyed Avatar far more than those two games combined, it's still average Ubislop but it was far more palatable than normal, for me anyway.
just need good Divison 3 game,enough for me from Ubisoft
I really enjoy it too so far. Skipping the story dialog and going straight to gameplay is really fun and relaxing. This game has a lot of strong point but also massive but avoiding one. For a month of ubisoft +, its really worth it
yayyy a Renn's Review :D Happy Holidays!
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
The blue is so full and consistent! Hope it wasn't a pain to get off

Far Cry Primal was better than people give it credit for.
No, it wasn't.
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 can't believe you actually went and learned Na'vese just so you can do an add read for this video. You're amazing!!!
Renn’s videos are always very well made with valid criticisms coupled with thoughtful suggestions. His skits are also humorous. Reminds me of The Act Man or maybe a bit of videogamedunkey
You should have eaten red things Renn! Everyone knows Red cancels out Blue.
The clips of you trying to sneak around and just stare at people were golden. Great laugh.🤣
I honestly forgot this came out.
Almost no one covered it
such a wasted opportunity cause this universe is so beautiful. amazing review btw
Looks even more mediocre that the sum of its mediocre parts (Ubisoft+Avatar).
But I seriously doubt it's their worst game.
Loving the dedication to the bit. I can only imagine how long that took to wash off
This episode was hilarious and informative. Great job! 😎👍
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.
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
First time watching this channel, the moment i saw u blue i knew the man puts in quality content 🤣, subbed 👍🏻
50% is on Ubisoft for not making the gameplay enjoyable and 50% is on you running around with a rifle and a shot gun as if its COD, barely any stealth and probably fast traveling everywhere.
