Avatar 2009 vs Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

[@ozymandias8449]

yeah ngl your struggle to gather is a skill issue it was not hard at all

[@okgamergirl]

I think it was the amount of time it takes up 🤔 like watching a cut scene every time you want to pick a flower

[@ozymandias8449]

@@okgamergirl yeah thats fair enough, it became like a mini game objective every time, it could of been a small left hand screen gimmick

[@okgamergirl]

Exactly! 😊

[@wasserruebenvergilbungsvirus]

I really liked the gathering mechanic, as well as resources being limited to different biomes/locations, and that you actually had to look at the Hunter's Guide. That's really immersive and cool for an Avatar game where your connection to nature plays a big role.

You could’ve used Sid for taking out facilities quietly, and later on in the game when you take out your first big base you get a shotgun. There are also resting spots where you can skip from day to dusk and so on, that’s how I always gather materials. And one last thing! In your settings you can change the gathering settings, that way a little helping animation comes up and it makes it easier to gather (same goes for Sid, you can choose to auto complete the puzzles in your settings) I get where you’re coming from though but I still will say that you must give it a try again when you’re bored! (Sorry for my bad English lolll 😅)

[@okgamergirl]

Your English is great! 😊 I might give it another chance with your advice and see if it makes things a little more engaging! Didn't know there was an auto complete, that will save me a lot of grief 😆

[@queenriko6181]

@@okgamergirli did that & thought it was much better cuz i honestly don’t have any patience lolz 😂

[@okgamergirl]

Ya, am fairly patient with games, but this really pushed me 😆

One thing with frontiers with the gathering problem. You can change the difficulty on it to automatic. You can do that for hacking and memory paintings too. I got annoyed with memory paintings because of directional dyslexia (left and right). However frontiers didn’t do a good job at explaining how to get perfect gathering initially. I never got to play the 2009 game so I guess my favorite is frontiers by default.

[@Paynrr01]

This is just a side note, not criticism, but there is a setting AFOP that makes the gathering a button click, incase you feel like giving it another chance in the future. The only downside to it is that you don’t get any stat bonuses. There’s a few settings like that to make the game easier and more enjoyable if you don’t like certain mechanics, like gathering and the SID mazes.

[@okgamergirl]

Oh wow I didn't know about any of those things! Thanks for pointing them out 😊 might give it another go and see if they make a difference to my experience!

[@paigeparty]

I think the reason I want to play Frontiers so bad is because I've never played a Far Cry game before. I hear people comparing the two, but as someone who never played the franchise, I think I'd love Frontiers more than the average person would

[@okgamergirl]

Ooh that's a great position to be in, coz you have nothing to compare Frontiers to! Definitely play it before any Far Cry games (if you do go on to play any!) and enjoy it as a unique experience 😁

[@andreafraustoz]

I never played a Far Cry game as I'm a Zelda/pokemon gamer only so i preferred Avatar to Far Cry since it fits my Nintendo palette with color and immersive and difficulty

[@swervingpine1256]

Amazing video. Loved playing Avatar when I was younger and FOP is currently one of my favorite PS5 games. Both games have a certain charm that i greatly appreciate.

[@thebatmanofneo-gotham5667]

If I'm going to be honest, I feel like your gathering skills is more so due to a lack of patience for the activity than anything. If you actually pay attention to how the gathering control scheme works, isn't hard at all. I played this game on my PS5, so for me, what I did was slightly press down on the R2 button while moving around the Left Analog stick in any direction. Whenever the stick no longer vibrated, that was my que to keep pushing in that direction, and then, I could fully press down on R2, allowing me to get the ingredient I needed. in pristine condition.

[@pappabeargaming]

I love how they give you the choice here. That seems pretty interesting. Great Video as usual.

[@okgamergirl]

Thanks 😁 ya I thought it was cool that you could play either side!

[@Pjvenom1985]

Nice idea comparing the two titles lass, reckon I'd prefer Frontiers the basic Far Cry style with some more ethical an narrative/world building aspects would be fun. Great video hope you have a good weekend.🌱🌍🎮☘️

[@okgamergirl]

Ya Frontiers is definitely for people who like narrative driven games, while Avatar is more for the action fans who don't need much lore

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

That does look interesting, and it's good you can straight up join the Baddies!

[@okgamergirl]

Ya it's cool! Like 2 different games!

[@Yesterzine]

The problem with Frontiers is I'd rather just play Far Cry.

[@okgamergirl]

That's exactly what I thought! So I ended up replaying Far Cry 6 😆
