Avatar Frontiers of Pandora - The Sky Breaker DLC Review - The Final Verdict
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Despite some positive criticism, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has flown under the radar since its launch. Its share of flaws notwithstanding, I appreciated the unique story-telling approach and the solid gameplay. The gorgeous visuals and impressive soundtrack also didn't hurt.
The Sky Breaker seemed like it could go in a fresh direction with a focus on the Great Games, but opted for a safer approach by reintroducing the RDA as villains. Not the biggest surprise if you've seen the movies, but the relatively lackluster "new" enemies or gameplay twists, uninspired loot, and spotty AI didn't make for the most engaging gameplay.
Though the DLC looks gorgeous and offers a decent enough distraction, especially for those who can't get enough of the base game, it's a step down in almost every other department.
For how beautiful the game is and how much they captured being na’vi and pandora I really wish they would’ve went deeper with the gameplay and mechanics.
I agree. It's like they had a beautiful work of art with the open world and visuals and then the actual people who were to make it into a game with missions and characters just finger painted all over it lol. People call it far cry with blue people but the sad truth is so much of the gameplay and the mechanics are either generic or were done better even in far cry
@@calelsun Not true
@@FengBaoYolotli alright lol, I'll phrase it as being my opinion but I think that far cry did a lot of the games core better. Weapon variety, stealth, acting, etc. You can feel differently ofc, but even if Avatar is prettier I think far cry 6 even is a bit more fun. Again just my personal opinion. Nothing really happened in the world of Pandora. Was lush and pretty but that was all for the most part.
@@calelsun well unfortunately they are stuck with the movie's lore, what a beautiful game, but the missions felt like a repeat.
It's not far cry @@calelsun
This game is really amazing. I think the average gamer doesnt know what they like or want. This game nails everything people have been wanting , but because there is no hype behind it people wont give it a chance i guess. NPCs need a streamer to tell them what to play
One of the most amazing and beautiful gaming worlds I have experienced. I felt like a navi, adventuring across pandora while opposing the hostile humans. And the exploration!! Its off the charts GREAT!! Exploring the floating mountains alone is unbelievable and a blast. And there are a plethora of other things to explore!
Man I have never fallen in and out of love with a game as quickly as Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. Everything that is there is great, but it's the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER
but what game nowadays does not have that?
I am a huge fan of the Avatar movies so everything about this game makes me so happy.
The dlc expanded on the main games story in a good way, I just wish they deepened the gameplay in some way.
Either way, I enjoyed this expansion a lot
Honestly playing as the rda in the first game was awesome with all the vehicles and weapon unlocks,if they did that again they would of had anmuch better game
You're right, you make me wanna boot up my PS3 and play the first game again!
@kevinhowe6307 playing it rn on my pc🫡 avatar the game was so good deff my favorite!!! Rda deff was super badass to play, should have done it with this game too 🙄 would have had way more players and more ways to change things up
I loved the main game! Amazing open world! I'm really enjoying the DLC as well 🤩
Literally the best parts of this game is the visuals and superb soundtrack.
This game is absolutely gorgeous, it handles very well, flying and parkour are super fun, and overall it's very fun to play, especially if you like to craft and explore.
However, the story is mid, NPCs are little more exciting than cardboard, most of the characters are flat, some minor quests are broken, and there are frame rate issues. I only really liked one character (guess who...)
Overall it was definitely a good game, but nothing more. While playing it stuck me in many areas that if Ubisoft really wanted it, this could have been a fantastic game... But it's Ubisoft so that's a lot to ask.
Lot to ask? Ubisoft has made plenty of fantastic games that people still play today. Fans are toxic. It's like you guys are robots and repeat the exact same toxic things just to be a part of a group. smfh
Zakru, the possibly largest land creature of pandora walks.
This DLC is more of a like a contract obligation than something derived out of passion and creativtity like Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree.
Never even finished the main game. Not really interested. It was pretty, but got boring after doing the same 2 or 3 things over and over. Talking to the terrible DEI hire NPCs, with the eye rolling self insert commentary story.... added up to a snoozefest.
you know i kinda liked the game and i really wanted to love it more but i couldn't. i put in about 30 hours and then after some certain missions i just quit playing because i lost total interest. i wont be buy the DLC
yeah f you had other objectives other than take down strongholds for the mission's that's all the base game was we stopped it then the RDA comes back oh look no new gameplay Mechanics or new mission type's. everything about the game is pretty good other than how repetitive it is. it needs mods for weapons to be more balanced/ affective and new primal weapon's ETC this game is like a 8 out of 10 with ART design and exploration and its a 4 out of 10 every where else.
i want only 3rd person
No..
I agree honestly
Me too so sick of first person titles
@N2music4lyfe yeah avatar was deff meant for 3rd person or at least give us the opportunity for it🤷♂️ the games feels weird but I still enjoy it but not as much as I did the game on 360 and ps3 I also would like to see a opportunity to play as rda🤷♂️ I mean I miss driving them amp suits ngll
Yep this should've been 3rd person far cry.
Game had a lot of potential like Mirage. But couldn't because of typical Ubisoft 😡
Beyond the content, character movement is so slow but turning/looking is so fast. This feels disorienting and immersion breaking for me. Navi are agile and cat-like. This is clunky
Excellent Avatar game.
Mid open world game.
Fair criticisms. I would like to point out though the DLC is still great, for what you pay, it's good value.
I'm still waiting for a VR mod to play this game.
VR is dead bro
@@ChrisJohannsen not at all. For the past couple years I’ve been playing more and more VR games. I pretty much only play games in VR now thanks to the UEVR mod.
Far cry in disguise
When I saw it the first time my first thought was far cry pandora
@@dranzerjetli5126 Far cry is better. though i mean it does have a better gameplay loop like combat and other things other than stronghold after stronghold.
If the combat was better and you could play in 3rd person it would be awesome because the visuals are great!!
yeah and if you had other objectives other than take down strongholds for the mission's that's all the base game was we stopped it then the RDA comes back oh look no new gameplay Mechanics or new mission type's. everything about the game is pretty good other than how repetitive it is. it needs mods for weapons to be more balanced/ affective and new primal weapon's ETC this game is like a 8 out of 10 with ART design and exploration and its a 4 out of 10 every where else.
I really wish they made this game for Wii. Then i would be able to enjoy too
The Wii lmao it’s like twenty’ years old
PS5 barely run this at 30 fps upscaled 4K (1200p) and U expect this to run at Wii ? lol
Unless U mean they might use different engine with 360p & 30 fps with dips to 15 fps.. then yeah Lol
@@Jack_Sparrow131 PS5 run the game at 1080 60 fps quality mode 30 fps upscaled to 1440p it don't run a native 1440p let alone upscaled 4k the gpu in a PS5 is equal to a 2070/6700 that's the recommend requirements for 1080P high Graphic's setting. not ultra.
Reckon this would have been 10x better as an assassins creed re-skin rather than a far cry re-skin, would that not have made way more sense with the climbing n parkour possibilities as well as difference it would have made to melee and ranged combat? Would be sooo much better with a 3rd person opt
I liked it but there’s some aspects that needs improvement as a big fan of the avatar series I’m happy with the game and was very surprised with a new part of pandora to explore that’s stunning wish the story was more immersive and longer and I did like putting a end to the main boss even if they were a pushover but I paid a lot of attention to dialogue bios and lore and that’s what made taking them out satisfying
it would have been better to go to the sea like the way of water.
I don't know if you like the ubisoft open world formula and kinda survival games then you will enjoy this game. To other gamers who experienced so many games this game and expansion would feel ok. As a person who owns all platforms it's passable.
Great expectations almost always lead to great disappointments. Anyway, can you tell me what is required to get to lvl 25? currently at lvl 24 and the lvl 25 baddies are overpowered to me. Thanks, if you can help me with my question's answer.
As a Far Cry fan, I enjoyed the game enough. 73/100
8 out of 10 with ART design and exploration and its a 4 out of 10 every where else.
I enjoyed afop, should I bother with this then?
a third person mode and i buy this yesterday
I want to by this game and all the dlc but I got ubisoft plus on series x to give the game a shot but it still crashes my series x till this day constantly so sadly I stopped my subscription and haven't touched the game again so please fix the crashing issue and I will gladly throw my money at you also I find it funny star wars outlaws has the crashing problem so it's a no for me on that game to
If the DRM requirement is removed, the I will buy this game.
I got it free for buying a mother board. Game looks gorgeous but thats about it
@@RumblesBettr yeah if you had other objectives other than take down strongholds for the mission's that's all the base game was we stopped it then the RDA comes back oh look no new gameplay Mechanics or new mission type's. everything about the game is pretty good other than how repetitive it is. it needs mods for weapons to be more balanced/ affective and new primal weapon's ETC this game is like a 8 out of 10 with ART design and exploration and its a 4 out of 10 every where else.
@@davidfrazier6308 totally agree
The lack of marketing around the game makes it clear that Ubisoft knew it didn't have a great product from the beginning.
This game is like far cry on crack, and i love crack.😅
This game is a masterpiece. I'm checking this expansion out.
The main character of avatar is pandora. Well done, ubisoft.
Art design and exploration yes its a 8 out of 10 other than that its a 4 out of 10. in every other way.
@@davidfrazier6308You're an RDA troglodyte, though. You live in a city too probably and feel out of place in nature.
Alot of people dont like this game cause they want it to be like fry cry and they think the combat is mid but im sure they havent even explored the whole map and used all the weapons
This is one of the biggest things holding this game back from selling many more copies.
What?
@@shrekrealista5045
The game
@@toodreammyThe game stops the game from selling better?
@@ChrisJohannsen Lol, it's irony maybe? not sure but it's more like philosophy Lol
Personally, each Far Cry game is re-skinned game with better graphics and more guns or whatever
This game is like 40% far cry, and 40% Ubisoft formula (camps capturing and upgrade system..etc)
20% is avatar, include all the jungle & lore..etc, despite that, I call it the best avatar game & even surpasses Far Cry games (which are not great to start with).. Avatar is like 8 out of 10, it could reach 9 if they change the gameplay & formula, 8/10 means a good rating tho
if you had other objectives other than take down strongholds for the mission's that's all the base game was we stopped it then the RDA comes back oh look no new gameplay Mechanics or new mission type's. everything about the game is pretty good other than how repetitive it is. it needs mods for weapons to be more balanced/ affective and new primal weapon's ETC this game is like a 8 out of 10 with ART design and exploration and its a 4 out of 10 every where else.
Game was incredibly mid. Very repetitive open world activities, cringey annoying characters, poor mission variety (infiltrate a base x20), plenty of wokeness… I had to force myself to finish the main game
Just say you’re still trying to come out the closet lil bro. It’s okay.
Wokeness comment pegs you as That person... Grow up
@@Stev-mi2fd
Some woke stuff is annoying and some annoying people call everything woke. I'd like to hear what he thinks was woke. Either way his comment was redundant, repetitive missions and poor mission variety, that's the same thing. Also, incredibly mid isn't bad. Mid means middle, by definition most games are mid because middle is average. Lol
If u could kill the blue freaks and play as a human game woulda been 10x better
@@TheLuckyShepherd women in majority of leadership roles in both RDA & resistance, warriors & soldiers are mostly women, 90% of the women look like dudes or ugly af, strong female 2nd in command antagonist of course escapes with zero consequences for her actions while evil bad white man antagonist is left behind to die, token gay relationship mission… all the usual stuff. If the game was actually good, I’d look over it, but it’s not, it’s painfully uninspired in everything apart from visuals.
Games 🎮 looks like legend of Zelda mixed with hazion and far cry and assassin creed together in the weird way lol 😆
3rd person mode should be added to the game
No.
The world is good but the missions are cookie cutter and mostly boring AF.
yeah if you had other objectives other than take down strongholds for the mission's that's all the base game was we stopped it then the RDA comes back oh look no new gameplay Mechanics or new mission type's. everything about the game is pretty good other than how repetitive it is. it needs mods for weapons to be more balanced/ affective and new primal weapon's ETC this game is like a 8 out of 10 with ART design and exploration and its a 4 out of 10 every where else.
@davidfrazier6308 yep for example the carry the butterfly mission. Would be fine once. For a change of pace and to admire the world slowing down. The problem is Ibiaoft do those things and then repeat it until your soul is crushed and by the end you do another one of the same mission type or collection feeling like you want to scream inside. They need more inventiveness and variety. More bespoke side quests and missions. Their games are always clear the enemy camps and collect stuff ad nauseum, and in some way find a way to highlight the map. It's really dull. I have went right off Ubisofts design. Especially after playing Baldurs Gate 3 and even The Witcher 3.
tbh I would be more interesting if we had marines campaign like in avatar game from 2009, then for sure I would buy the base game. Im so tired of playing as rebels over and over again.
I will buy this game once they add a third person mode..
Then you'll never play this...
There is a big that lets you play in 3rd person, though aiming is unreliable, you are invincible, and collecting things can force you to restart. It is really only good for parkour and exploring
not gonna happen
The game is…correct, but the only real cool thing about it are the graphics, the rest is just boring and repetitive, clearly not 80 € worth.
This game should have been third person like the god of war games !!
Do you lead your life from a third person? Looking yourself constantly in the mirror?
Narcissist disorder at its finest.
Games 🚮
If you could play the Humans this game would be way better.
Overhaul update time, this game can just be so much more. Still makes me concerned of how Star Wars outlaws is going to be.
it will be a dumpster fire once people see how little content they get when they ordered the 130 dollar addition.
Man I can't stand avatar period 😞😞
Sucks to suck
The most aggressively boring game I've ever played.
8 out of 10 with ART design and exploration and its a 4 out of 10 every where else.
Someone played this Hollywood crap?
A lot of people actually
What a douche comment
@@mtnman8783i got it free and i still only lasted like 3 hours
i did
@@derekofbaltimore how was your experience?
There is no content here, its story and nothing else very disappointing
