'Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora' Is A Mixed Bag [W.I.P. Review]

[@Igor19485]

A Mixed Bag is a perfect representation for every Ubisoft game ever, for every fun moment there is a dull moment. It's like someone is forcing them not to make great games although they have good some good ideas.

[@DourFlower]

Its been a long time since theyve had soul

[@death2foolz182]

Yeah that even holds true as far back as like AC2. That was prob my favorite AC game, still had some the worst quests i've ever done (I still refuse to collect feathers in any fucking game to date since AC2)

[@Igor19485]

@@death2foolz182 That is my biggest gripe with Ubisoft games or open worlds games in general, even a game like Spider-Man which I really like is very guilty of it.. do the same thing 1000 times but on different part of the map. Honestly it stops me from ever replaying these games.

[@tonydeluna8095]

The game I was waiting for. The visuals are stunningly beautiful. For me, as an Avatar fan, exploring Pandora will be an adventurous experience

[@z3roninja565]

My thoughts exactly, felt the same way about gotham knights. Everyone wanted another arkham game, I just wanted a distraction from valorant and other comp shooters so I loved it while nearly everyone else trashed it. Same case here, I need a new open world game, this one def isn't bad and I like avatar so I will be buying :)

[@Mythictempest]

I’ve been playing for the past 2 hours and the world itself is one of the best looking worlds I’ve ever seen and it feels alive. Sound design is amazing.

@@MythictempestIs it out yet, or?

[@Arcademan09]

For everyone else it's probably a 6/10. For hardcore Avatar fans it's like a 8/10, which is fine, Hogwarts Legacy was the same, if you're already a fan it's more enjoyable

[@Cactusfruitsquisher]

As a hardcore avatar fan, it’s the game I’ve been wanting since I was like 8. I’m sure there will be more but I’m happy with it so far. I’m also not a gamer(last game I played besides this is train sim lmao) so my opinion on gameplay and stuff should be taken with a pinch of salt, but I enjoy it and how smooth it feels. There’s also lots to explore and see which is what I like doing anyway. I tend to get board with the big alien open worlds that are essentially just a dessert or a Forrest that tries to feel alien but doesn’t. They made pandora feel alive, and maybe it’s a bit of bias since it’s something I’ve waited a long time for, but it’s good enough for a non gamer to pick up a controller

[@blinkusfishus2052]

Too compare the 2 games, Having played it now I think Avatar is getting less positive response in terms of reviews simply because Hogwarts is a more popular IP, and it was a made by a studio without Ubisoft's bad rep.

[@lukasbusch2135]

That is very accurate. I’m asking myself to this day how Hogwarts Legacy received such high ratings from critics. It really hurt their authority in my opinion.

[@theviniso]

​@@lukasbusch2135 The setting is really what sells both games. Being able to freely explore Pandora or the Hogwarts castle is enough to make me interested in these games even if I don't care much about their plot or gameplay.

[@nikosfotidas8543]

@@blinkusfishus2052 Hogwarts is also less tedious though... the whole steath thing with the bases gets old very fast... in Hogwarts Legacy you can go through the main story pretty quickly, doesn't bloat, respects your time and also, the combat system is great... it's easy enough to let you enjoy it if you're not good and complicated enough to make you feel like an absolute boss if you master it (using the right spell combo against each enemy, being a monster in terms of using protego at the right moment etc)... plus mods make Hogwarts Legacy go to a different level... especially the mod that makes the NPCs way more real and alive with proper time and class schedules... Hogwarts Legacy is not a masterpiece by any means in terms of gaming but it's a GOOD game that doesn't try to be more than it is... the next game of the IP might be an absolute gem... plus they're working on a Quiddich game which is huge fun if it's good (I remember the PS2 Quiddich World Cup game... it was fucking fantastic fun) Anyway... I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, more than an Avatar fan but objectively Hogwarts Legacy is easier to get into by non fans than this game... as a game... fuck the IP or the movies, books etc... as a game Hogwarts Legacy gives you more fun faster, easier and with less slow and boring moments...

[@SamuelCatsy]

I only like temporary food boosts if they last a REALLY long time. Heck, make it so there's three types of food, vegetable, meat, and drink. And the boost from them lasts indefinitely until you either sleep to skip time, or you replace that category's boost with a different one. So your meals are essentially a 'build' to supplement your playstyle. Having categories set up lets the devs balance the buffs so the player can't double up on OP buffs.

[@The_Babe]

So.. Monster Hunter lol

[@theCvnnxn]

I always feel like it’s too much of a chore just to have a 60 second “ insert random boost”. Always feel like I go out of my way to care about them.

[@Light15Z]

exactly. xenoblade chronicles 3 food boosts last anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour, which means you don't burn through all your meal ingredients in one play session AND as a player I don't feel like I need to be constantly checking my food buff gauge to see if its worn of or not. Thats just an example of a game I thought did cooking buffs pretty well that it sounds like avatar could have taken a page from.

[@Otinashi]

The way I see it, either make them last a long time, or let me stack them

[@plsdontbanmeagainyoulibtards]

or make food essential to leveling a certain area of your build, with a cool down of course. It's a tricky path to take though because like all food and sleep based mechanics it's either a hit or a massive miss.

[@wah9312]

They could easily make the cooking system more interesting and rewarding by just buffing the meals you can make, or giving them bonus effects. Hopefully they listen to the feedback since it's supposed to be such a big part of the game.

[@ElectricAlien577]

If you understand the cooking and crafting system, and actually use it the way its intended, you can easily get huge buffs that last a half hour. It seems like a lot of people are just not understanding it, and i cant blame them, cus i didnt at first. But now that i get it, i find it extremely rewarding.

[@00Dann99]

Its very rewarding he just didnt understand it

[@Q3lu]

Cooking is not the path I have chosen in the game. Gathering ingredients all over the map to gain a small edge in combat is quite a chore to me.

[@ZZ-cr9pz]

Not a big Avatar fan, but got the game and i really enjoy it. Every system within the game is all about the blue smurfs way, and it feels kinda unique in that sense. Don't really have much to complain about, for crafting gear or food you don't need much resources at all and that feels like a blessing. It's not the classic horde everything you see kinda game. The combat is way more fun then i thought, i do like the quality of the weapons and i pick that over quantity. Only downside for me is the main story, it didn't really grab me and i do enjoy the side quests more while roaming around on Pandora. Oh and the mtx shop with all the skins feels a bit weird and pointless, will finish the game and then looking forward the dlc expansions.

It seems a lot of people dont actually understand how the foraging, cooking, and crafting systems work. I didnt get it at first, but now that i do, its super easy to get big buffs that last a long time, and craft op gear. I didnt understand the item quality and rarity system for like 15 hours, and it looks like luke didnt figure it out at all in his playthrough, and still hasnt. Its actually a really rewarding and indepth system once you understand it. The buffs are actually worth it when you figure out how to track down high level materials.

[@gnelfpmeh]

I put the difficulty on easy so I can ignore the crafting, cooking and foraging because those systems feel so bloated.

[@kieranczyzniejewski2178]

[@Gmasterjoelio]

This game has been a huge pleasant surprise for me. I havent had this much fun with like parkour and traversal since Assassins creed 1. You really *feel* like a Na'vi in this living world. It shocked me because my expectations were really low and it turned out great imo.

[@landonkam6727]

This is exactly why I take the hope for the best prepare for the worst approach. I love this game, I can recognize that the story is almost nonexistent and the writing is nothing of note, but the world, the world is so good. I came into the game with my only expectation being that I would be a tall blue cat person, and I've been blown away. The sights and colors are amazing and will likely never lose their appeal to me, the hunting and gathering is feeding the hunger that the Tomb Raider games gave me for a more predatory style of stealth. I love treerunning above a group of animals and killing them all in quick succession with precise shots. Don't get me wrong, I have issues. But the way the game is, my only big one is the limited stash space.

[@fleshgoddecapitation4997]

Hey Luke, relatively new to the channel here, probably been listening consistently for about 2 months, though I discovered you about a year ago. I wasn’t into the really quiet, multiple hour reviews, I think mainly because of the lack of energy. Your energy now is what keeps me coming back, along with how genuine you seem. You don’t pander to anything or any side, you express what you think and it’s always informed rather than based on your whims at the time. I hear educated references to whether something logically follows in some of your videos, its good stuff. I think that the fact of you being 19 at the time and the demonstrable fact that you’ve changed since then are enough to not even warrant an apology. Thanks for being you and keep up the great work

I've been loving it, just wish the stash space was infinite and the story had more depth than the source material. I would've liked to see the mc actually become kind of a bridge between the humans and Na'vi. But after the opening the closest that the game gets is 'the humans never taught us that', missed opportunity but the story is hardly existent so I can't blame it for not exploring that.

You can't zoom in below the cloud cover and I can hardly tell what I'm looking at or where I'm going. I've hardly progressed through the story within my hours playing because of the constant map viewing to see where my way point is. Another thing is I'm supposed to be able to equip my weapon instantly, but it's not working. I'm having to press start, options, equip. Same with opening my gear/pouch/inventory. And I am discovering cooking ingredients, but not direction on how to cook. Idk.....me being a huge Avatar, and loving the graphics, so I'll keep chipping away.

[@milkshaketurtle7937]

I think the best gathering/crafting system I've seen was in ghost of tsushima. It was very basic, but when you would gather flowers or hunt animals or whatever, you'd get tangible, permanent upgrades. Flowers would let you get new colors of clothes or make poison darts (and this was the only way to get them, since they're very powerful). Fabrics and metals would let you upgrade weapons and armors (which would change animations or change the look of the armor). The coolest thing I think was that upgrading your knife changed and sped up the stealth kill animations, so you felt like your character was actually improving his technique and becoming more deadly, rather than just increasing numbers. There were also different ways to get different materials, which shook up gameplay and let you just gather things as you played instead of spending a ridiculous amount of time grinding. You could steal precious metals from enemy camps (which was fun, because the combat in that game felt amazing), for example. And there was no currency system, because it look place in wartime Japan - so hunting, stealing, and foraging essentially replaced what otherwise would've been a generic currency system.

I have a suspicion that Lightstorm Entertainment's involvement prevented this game from being better.

Its actually better than luke is making it out to be, i realized after about 15 hours that luke just doesnt understand the foraging system, and so he thinks the buffs are negligable and useless.

[@PARASYKETV]

How do you tell if a baby has rsv? That is terrifying. Hoping and praying things get smoothed over for you man. Big fan.

[@simonmadigan4468]

Good to see you back I hope alls well with your boy!

[@kevinmcbride3577]

Sounds like an up coming flop, not checking enough boxes. I’ll buy next year for 29.00 if I’m bored with a slow year.

[@danieldevito6380]

Alien Isolation is, without question, the best movie game ever made.

[@kbdc]

This game falls under the same umbrella as Hogwart's Legacy. If you're a genuine fan of the Avatar series, then go buy it. For everyone else that has played Ubisoft games, then you already know this is a Far Cry reskin.

[@oscaroska7613]

Not really. Hogwarts was really a solid game outside if you're a fan and a decent gameplay story, not like Ubipost

[@rondopacker]

As a lover of single player open world games exactly like this (100% on far cry primal) I am going to be waiting for this to go on sale, I just don’t have the time to put into it right now

[@zacharybecker8228]

I just refuse to pay 70 for games ik will be at least 25% off in a couple months

[@Derek-mi4wy]

Very reasonable

I think everyone was expecting a 6/10 game from Ubisoft.

[@Parso_YT]

Still in the intro but I found the fade to blacks between cutscenes really took me out it specifically when it’s like just going to talk to someone

[@the.real.rawdawg3863]

Way more fun than Starfeild. Didn't expect that.

[@wesselvanharrewijn3082]

thats the thing though james cameron has always said that in avatar, there is no such thing as magic. he did not want some magic floaty rocks, he actually got people to make it so the rocks floating have different explanations to how they could possibly float in the air.

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

Really would've liked to see some _Abe's Odyssey_ type "puzzle rescue" elements, where you can save other blue guys - or even a "tribe" system where you could recruit them, choose their gear etc I could go for hours with ideas for this but meh

[@crysistec]

The non sponsored videos hits different

[@hudsonclarkk]

woahh rain comes from the clouds? incredible we really are in the future. lol

[@TheJman669]

Its remarkable to me how many people say "Far cry clone." Made by the Division team and with Snow drop. Glad you know better. Careful with 'Mixed bag' you'll sound like DSP saying it too often.

[@guitaoist]

Mindblowing environment that we couldnt even dream up, but people give it 7/10 cuz its “too simple”… way underrated

[@jonpapi_2247]

I think ppl forgot about how simple games use to be 😂.

[@Steveo0547]

Praying for your kid bro fast recovery

[@ageoflove1980]

20:30 I actually love that sort of out-of-the-box manner of clearing objectives. It really encourages you to think creatively. Assassins Creed game have this too. If you have to loot something from a fort, one way to do it is to let enemies spot you, then hide so they search that general area and then sneak back around and loot the quest object. Usually they do spot you eventually but by then you have what you came for and just get the heck out of there. I dont know but it kind of puts a smile on my face when all these guys are searching in the bushes, while im comfortably opening my chest or free a prisoner. Its not exactly 200 IQ stuff, I know, but its still nice that you can manipulate enemies this way instead of having to slaughter them all every time.

[@Israfel36]

Game Theory: they finished the game 5ish years ago and were waiting for the movie, but the next gen systems came out and they decided to make the move to them and that's what they've been doing. It explains the fade in and out to cut scenes, the pop-in and out, the freezing, the story not improving but the graphics being top notch, and the handful of systems from popular games like BoTW. It probably was a decision from the top down like the adding anything to the game was.

[@Leo_Mauro]

Good lord. They even put a "cinematic" after clearing outposts.

[@joshuastephens3926]

That fucking sucks about little man. I’m so happy that he is good to go now. I know as a dad I fear that stuff way too much lol good luck

[@goopah]

Luke, your Community post was the best of its kind that I've ever read. Aside from your excellent videos, this alone would be proof that you are more than capable of great writing. You are gonna be just fine. Don't worry about it, don't dwell on it. Keep pushin' on. You are the only one of the bunch that took the responsibility head-on. The others are still trying to dodge the issue or deny it, and they are failing miserably. If they had done what you did to address it, their road would be much easier. Kudos, man. What amazes me is that Harris barely mentioned you in the video by comparison to the others, and yet you're the one person who stood up and did the right thing. Immediately.

[@LilLorThatGamerFoo]

Great video as always! Glad your son is back and doing bettter! Also I live and am from the city of Albuquerque NM where breaking bad was filmed. Have went and seen alot of the main locations from the show. Not important just thought id add that since you like one of the greatest shows made.

[@andzzz2]

I can well imagine higher-ups nerfing the rewards for cooking to make it optional in order to increase the mass appeal. I thought the Witcher 3 did a good job of making certain mechanics more necessary with increased difficulty, but I think that is very difficult to pull off. Your idea of linking actual abilities to cooking rather than negligible buffs is excellent. That would encourage you to experiment with different approaches to clearing out outposts and give you something to think about and a sense of anticipation while gathering resources.

[@--SPQR--]

That Jesse impression was actually insane tbh

[@SwiftViper]

It looks better than I thought it would. Fuck it let’s roll.

[@benhale6773]

Thanks for the review, so glad your son is ok. Nothing more important than family.

[@hlumisa.mazomba]

hearts to your kid bro! hope he's doing okay!

[@TheSwampDonkey]

If people like Far Cry Primal, they might enjoy this game. Sorry about your son Luke. My daughter had it right before Christmas when she was 8 months old. It was a very stressful thing to go though. Glad he is home and going well.

[@dannypistilli4864]

Im not an Avatar fan, but can appreciate it for what it is. This game has made me interested in watching the movies. Was pretty impressed with the level of polish

[@jackchambers2617]

In cutscenes, the npc generally just stand there. Talk and give a questline. Its generally not cinematic or dynamic most of the time

[@iconicreactions3917]

I KNEW right away when I saw the interview review you did for this that this was your true reaction, you played it off well tho like😂

[@johncole4882]

Guys.. dont forget that this is Ubisoft
