[@Kiri_Sully399]

I preordered the ultimate edition back in July! so excited!

[@TOOTLEZ__]

I hate seeing people hating this game because some of the mechanics are weird and some animations don't look finished. This is because this build (the demo people played) of the game isn't finished, it's about 7 months old now and when it was launched for certain people to play, it was 6 months old. They have most likely added new mechanics, and updated the animations. Seeing as how the game had every aspect of it passed through James Cameron's team at light storm before being put into the game and had access to the next three Avatar movies scripts to make the story fit seamlessly. The developers said that after watching Avatar 3, you will want to go back and see certain aspects of the game. I love every aspect of this game, and can't wait to play it. The sound design, the visuals, the voice acting, the animation, all of it is gorgeous and exactly what I wanted in a game that is canon in the Avatar universe.

My absolute pleasure mate & thank you very much for letting me know you enjoyed it, I really appreciate it & makes it all worthwhile

[@Jay.Birdxx]

I know they wanted to focus on range attacks but they shouldve given us a knife (specifically for human stealth takedowns) a simple backstab animation wouldve fixed that weird punching thing. It wouldve been real easy to write it in two, they couldve given it to us when we get our first bow or complete our first hunt. But thats only a small nitpick tbh, i honestly will probably use the bow ans AR for everything 😂

[@danielmiller4354]

I thought the same as well weird they wouldn’t include a takedown feature it’s not like they don’t have knives in the universe lol

[@hitmonkey4726]

Gameplay wise, it's disappointing no knife takedown. But lore wise, you're 10 foot alien who is said stronger and having more bone and muscle density than humans. One punch probably is enough to kill a human. It doesn't make sense to crouch and sneak to a small human when the bow gets the job done.

[@Jay.Birdxx]

@@hitmonkey4726 that is true, which is why overall all, small nitpick and still very excited

[@chrisfatecj426]

It would be nice if Ubisoft lets its studios, take chances, think outside the "Ubibox" if you will..I get they are sticking with what works, its why almost all UBI games kinda play the same, have the same format, but, it also means, that anything boring, broken mechanics, level design, all kinda follow over to any Ubi game, because they stick to said format so much, you can for sure recognize if you are playing an Ubisoft game, even if its being made by one of its studios under its umbrella..

I don’t want to be negative but it’s basically Far Cry with an Avatar skin. Ubisoft has had its ups and downs through the years. But who knows, maybe I’ll be surprised with this game.

[@danielmiller4354]

Funny enough that’s what drew me to it. I really like the more unique Far Cry’s like Primal. Other than that they are all just new skins on Far Cry 3.

I hear you dude, it's definitely been Q on the marketing front to be fair! Very keen to hear your thoughts after the video mate, I appreciate your write ups

[@xXDoUbLeDDXx38]

Games kinda have to be quite now days ever since the whole cyberpunk marketing disaster. Many companies have come forward, even CDPR, saying they over hyped the game and over promoted. So games now just have taken that into account and you don't hear much anymore until they're just about to launch.

[@AndyReloads]

Good point here dude@@xXDoUbLeDDXx38

[@AnderWess]

Nice looking game though I've never really been a Avatar fan. Ubisoft games always go on sale usually sooner rather than later and I've got a huge backlog of games to play already.

New look is hilarious mate! 😂😂🍻🍻

[@amadeuz819]

Before even watching: Have a controller or be ready to get twisted fingers, very clumsy with keyboard and mouse(haven't yet found a way to get some pressing to the mouse buttons instead). Very good looking but quests lack information/description so if you pick up a quest before you have even explored an area it will be annoying to find it(feels like they only put the Exploration option there but want everyone to use the "run from point A to marked point B method. Like there is once sentence that is supposed to guide you and you might have forgotten the dialog so had to cheat 2 times already by googling and yes I was like waay off target by following the text left for me as a clue, like the clue says "in area B but the item was in Area C". Also had to check a video when a quest NPC didn't show up but did some restarting and resting and fast traveling and one night she was back after that the other quest NPC disappeared but it all ended well). Got if for free when I updated my computer and was better than I expected, still if you are going the run from A to B method the game has given me goosebumps 4 times already and I have only played like 20 hours, its really beautiful but I do love Aberration map in ARK also :D

[@spartan5134]

I know this question is a little silly but are there pants in the game? Or mainly loincloth skirt things?

[@erenjeager5290]

I think there are pants and a t-shirt (the character has it on in some of the trailers), but the game probably forces you to take them off. Hoping to get some more human/ military looking clothes.

I’m really thanking you for your video, I watched a lot of « informationals » videos in this style, but many didn't have all the information I was looking for (like character customizations and ESPECIALLY Ikran!) or the information was disorganized.

[@paint_0f_heart554]

Already pre ordered SOLELY for the art book, I already have avatar, avatar world of Pandora and avatar way of water art books so safe to say I loved the fact they included an art book for the game

[@johnsepulvedacruz6428]

What us that can you explain ? Is it a book of the story of the game or what ?

[@paint_0f_heart554]

Basically the art books are exactly what they sound like. They’re books containing all the art, sketches and research that went into the movies. My books that I mention are specifically about the movies, so they have things like the handmade Na’vi clothing they used to render and create the clothing in the books, lore about the Na’vi ect however for the digital book that comes with the unlitmate version of the game, it’ll have things for the game in it, like the different rendering of the ikran with text explaining how they came to make them ect. An art book for the game would also most likely have concept art in it, art that is used to get to the final design of things. Sometimes they’ll have quotes from people who have worked on the piece the book is about. It’s a very interesting thing to look through, especially if you’re interested in how they came to make the things within the movie/game that the book is about

[@Moth_Witch24]

What does character creation look like and what part of the game do you create your character?

[@erenjeager5290]

There isn’t any news regarding character customization other than being able to change gender and features. It will probably be close to the very beginning of the story.

That's like the single least important feature for a game to have. Especially when the game is in first person. I'd rather them put the time into polishing the game play more, than make the characters face customisable.

[@LoveisRxge]

There’s a lot I want to say about this. One I’m scared for the skins in this game if the big bundle exclusive skins are skins you’d think you can scavenge around the battle field.😂 next I hope this game have some type of depth of skill development. There should br stealth, Berserker, Tech, Navi etc some type of high skill tree similar to cyberpunk. ALSO big thing with them hyping the map it should br heavy life within it I hope to see hundreds of species of wild life, even the old James Cameron avatar had an enjoyable wildlife system. I also hope they add more weapons and mounts as well.

I already have bought the game and I'm very excited to play this Wednesday night since it comes out at midnight! SO EXCITED!!!! Also PC isn't a master race, it's a preference. Just like I prefer the PS5, not saying that the PS5 is better because there's no reason to because it's just a preference. I like the controller & I like not having to have a PC in order to play these games, reason being is because not only are they too expensive right now but they take up too much space. Just an opinion & preference, yes I know I can use the PS5 controller on PC but again preference, not master race..
