Why Massive Entertainment got Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Wrong! 

I think a modern 3rd persno navii character would need such movement animations that at ubisoft are too lazy to do that. Imagine having movement fluidity like in prototype

The focus of this game should have been fluid 3rd person animations and the parkour around the game world imo. Add in awesome stealth combat and then normal combat with amazing moves and abilities. They chose a generic boring route. Oh well…

I’m so disappointed what this game turned out to be. I have to be honest, there is nothing creatively exciting about this IP. Another FPS just in an avatar world. I think massive could have done so much better. I’ll probably wait for a sale. And yo the fact that there’s no hand to hand combat…very weird…I think it’s going to be a mediocre experience. Sad…

@@GmoneyMozart Its literally Far Cry Avatar Edition... I sent you something on Discord

Imagine if Insomniac said, we gonna make this Spider-Man game but it's a FPS shooter where you just shoot webs at everybody and the only time you see Spider-Man is during web swinging. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣😂

Oh, come on! I can understand the argument for Avatar, because the things are acrobatic, but Robocop is clearly a character for first-person.

Nah avatar is all about the world. U get better feeling of the world

Waste of an IP in first person with generic fps gameplay. Should have been a 3rd person game with cool agile moves and abilities with crisp animations. That’s where 3rd person shines and this game deserved that. Now it’s just another generic first person game with no soul. A game like this deserves 3rd person love not your shabby call of duty gameplay.

@@GmoneyMozart , the game is crap, but it's not because of its perspective. Mirror's Edge is evidence that you can have acrobatics in first-person and have it look good, and there are others that even spin the camera for flips and such. Don't blame the perspective for the company not knowing how to make an interesting game.

Ya that's what kind of upsets me. This IP should have been a breath of fresh air. It seems like the same old shit.

Well the engine can def be used to make anything but I do think the generic shooter mechanics of this game misses the mark on what the can could have been.

Because they were aiming at the far cry blue reskinned version

​@@enricod.7198exactly

@@enricod.7198it’s basically what they created. Boring…I don’t know why the studio choose first person for this IP. Missed the mark imo.

ya in VR it's a dif story. When all games go VR I can let go of third person but until then I still think a lot of games should be in third and def have the option for both.

​@@GmoneyMozartThird Person is a much better option! Leave first person to Battlefield and Call of Duty unless you can do both.

The sad thing is that this IP will fall flat on its face now when it should be something to look forward to. Sucks...

Lmfao can I get an amen!?

There seems to be so much missing I'm not sure what they were thinking. This IP could have been something really big.

Curious, but if you were given the choice how would you have directed the game?

@@KyleneZ I think I would have chosen a direction more akin to the style of Ghost of Tsushima's gameplay. Just like GOT, you can play more as a honourable Samurai or a disgraceful Ghost. In Avatar, if you play more like a Navi, you gain the respect of the Navi people easier using their techniques in hunting and foraging. This style will allow you to use poisons and toxins that you can acquire from different plants and creatures to help fight the enemy. You can use them to cause hallucinations, outright kill or create natural smoke bombs to confuse the enemy. The use of a bow, knife, spear, or hatchet as your main combat style aswel as creating traps. You can order your Banshee to attack, kill, or create a diversion whilst you infiltrate enemy bases. You have a bonus in hunting, tracking, and use of the environment for traversal of Pandora. The other path is more of a soldier and more like the Ghost from GOT. You have the use of different firearms and explosives, gadgets, and different vehicles. Better camouflage to blend into Pandora. Think more like Quaritch in Avatar2. Would have been cool to actually use Eywa to help guide you like Jin uses the wind. When connected to Eywa, she helps you see enemy footprints instead of just having wallhacks. I'd have prefered to create my own Navi character. Have a skill tree similar to GOT and ways to upgrade your weapons and banshee/vehicle. The game should have been in 3rd person as to really make you feel like one of the Navi people. It would have been great to be able to actually see your Avatar climb trees and vines, perform stealth takedowns, and just traverse the open world and would have benefited this game tremendously imo.

Ya I def think they missed the mark.

Good get some rest.

@@GmoneyMozart best jokeee....😄😄😄

That would be awesome too. My main point though is that the game boils down to being a generic shooter when it could have been so much more.
