I am beginning to despise everything surrounding this movie. Especially James Cameron.

Think I will postpone watching this until late tonight......after a few beers.  
Good job guy's, the quick looks are amusing and often way superior to the actual game in question. 
I'm sure that applies here.

The map system of this game kind of reminds me of Body Harvest. You have different zones where you can run around GTA-style, but it's not like you can go anywhere you want without doing some stuff here and there. 
 
I admit half the entertainment of this video is Jeff suffering through the Quick Look.
 
Also, Commander Falco is Colonel Campbell.

 I don't get the hate for Avatar. It's made by a director who turned seemingly generic story lines into some of the best movies to date. Look how Aliens and Terminator turned out when he wasn't directing, utter garbage, but with him they were amazing.

so do the Navi just transport your real body to them so that the NDA doesn't just shoot you and end this nonsense? this movie and game are ridiculous. THis is James Cameron's: Phantom Menace.

 So many damn plot holes... Why don't they just pull the plug if you turn on the guys you're working for?   Why use the Avatars at all since, if I were a Navi, I'd probably see the use of my people's DNA as an abomination...

Stoner Jeff is very disturbing.   But funny...the timing parroting Vinny was awesome.
 
Otherwise, this game looks kind of average and makes no damn sense.

Like much James Cameron does, this fails to make a whole lot of cogent of sense. Apparently the plot is very similar to "Dances With Wolves". Still, at least it is trying something different, so it deserves commendation for that at least.

P.S. Goodness, the planet Pandora certainly got tropical since Borderlands.

This game is move future proof than Crysis... is that what they called it? Where you make your game use tech that isn't really out there yet? People made a big stink out of Crysis but this is like 10 times more expensive... And not as good.
 
Also i like how Ryan became a cat guy and immediately wanted to have furry sex... the sickness spreads hahahah!
