Every time I see this game there is James Cameron giving a long winded speech.

Could this be the first good movie-game?... I think not.

When they said that the humans have come to pillage Pandora because it has something the humans want, I died a little inside. Come on, James Cameron! This kind of unrealistic bull crap plot about the evil humans has been used in so many movies. I figured if anyone could come up with an original idea in this day in age, it would be James Cameron. I'll save my full judgment of the story when I see the movie, but so far I'm unimpressed.

meh in the dullest sense of the word, oh and pandora looks a lot like felucia from star wars. I'm interested in the film though.

At first I thought these guys were blabbering about their kick ass time with Boarderlands over the weekend. But I guess they have to tell me their Europeans coming to America story again, hint you can color them blue and they become space indians.

The more technically advanced military after a rare resource in what James Cameron just called the "garden of eden."  

Yeah, I already hate Avatar.

Avatar? So you can get 1000GS by spamming wind attacks for a minute or two?

I'm confused. I thought Pandora was Borderlands world. I guess Pandora's Box has been opened.

I really don't care about this game. The graphics could be really nice. But they are pixelated and half-assed. Animations are choppy and the shadows are unnatural and some times non existent. I know its not done yet, but that's what I said to my self when I saw the Force Unleashed trailers. But look how that went. Some of it dose look good how ever. Like the static mesh(i.e. fauna) looks quite good.
 
Looking forward to the movie though. ;)

I'm really trying to like this game, but it's just not clicking for me. Maybe it will down the road, but as of now...not looking forward to it.

Well at least they cut back on the buzzwords a bit and told that animation director to learn to STFU for a second although he's still talking more than I find agreeable.

Pandora... Bo.. Bor.. Borderlands?

Everything about this game looks very Unreal, and I mean that in both senses; It looks unreal and looks like an Unreal Engine game, which what kinda sucks about it.
