Forgive my squirrely ignorance, but wasn't Avatar about some crippled guy who gets assimilated into some other race? What happened to him, who are these new characters, why should I care about them and why does Sigourney Weaver look like she was chiseled out of a stalagtite?

its a "prequl" so Jake Sully is still about 2 or 3 years behind the charicter you play.



i bought this game expecting to be able to play as a na'vi itself. not a dang Avatar.


and why the heck dose my Avatar not have one of those plug-in things on its head?

Lol, I had a good laugh at the "good at what" part

How Could James Cameron let this happen?

 

[chickenlord]

wow...for a movie that almost beat every single record at the box office, they could put a little more money into the game? the movie had a game type story line, game idea, game everything!!! i would think making a game of this they would put at least a bit more work & money into it... aside from its very very very bad look...wasn't the main guy in a wheel chair in the movie?... they didn't have enough money in the cut scene animation to at least put in a wheel chair?!

that was the easiest tutorial ever!

 

[ninjajoeman]

so this 200 million dollar movie is made into a game with crap graphics,and this is a cut scene where the graphics are supposed to be better, makes you think, well not me myself but maybe someone who thinks.

so are we basically playing a game about a guy who goes inside a thing like a game (thats like a george forman grill) and we play as who again?

tobad the navi don't have video games it would be like a game inside a game inside a game AND IF THE GAME WAS ANIMAL CROSSING!

 

[lasersandbearsohno]

for someone who's name is actually ryder, this was pretty awesome. not to mention the commentary. sometimes its a little shaky but otherwise i think it's pretty solid

"Leave the shuttle quickly" translates to: "Walk leisurely out of the shuttle because we aren't big on formalities here."

As someone who owns and plays the game (on a semi regular basis) I think this game entertains me more than the movie. And if it entertains, you have a game (movie= observational entertainment, game= interactive entertainment)

The small size of the vid don't do the game justice. Sure it has it's little graphics nips but ingame, your heart can skip a beat sometimes (granted, not in the few cutscenes and if you can run the game on high settings, even Crysis looks like shit when on low or medium)

The game has the trademark flavor of rushed development and premature release, they wanted it our BEFORE the movie, and so they did. You can see it most when you compare some of the dialog to the mission objectives. It's clear a fair bit was cut to meet the deadline (most notably from the RDA storyline). Not to mention the multiplayer hasn't been given a proper balance overhaul.

As for backstory, you get most of it via your PandoraPedia. You basically can analyze every NPC and most plants for an article. Some are nice, some cheap. In the end I think that is WAY better than endless exposition from some NPC.

Thats got to be the worse game adaptation to a movie intro I have ever seen. This made the Lord of the Rings one look like a blockbuster hit

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

One of the funniest I have seen in a while.

"Your a fine specimen."
"You used to call me Princess!"

 

[Quaxar]

I wouldn't even have watched the whole scene, if it wasn't for the great comments. The game itself looks so awfull, just like the film, but with added bad graphs here and there. What a (possible) waste of money.

...Ashley Williams! That's it! Midori sounds like Ashley Williams from Mass Effect.

Oh, and good episode too.

 

[mechanixis]

Is it just me, or was Kendra played by the same chick who did Ashley in Mass Effect? I got some serious deja vu from that show.

Yeah, I was expecting a quip about them being greeted by Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams. It never came.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Excellent episode, keep it up.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Laughed at the chocolate atmosphere bit.

How is it that a movie that had such amazing and fluid animation has a game with such stiff robotic movements? Can't Ubi afford to rent a mo-cap studio? Don't they have their own mo-cap studio?
