I registered just so I can trash your review. Let's begin:
1. What does the quality of the game have to do with the month it's launched in? When I started reading the title and first sentences I thought you were going to say something like "launch in December, miss all the award shows", but turns out in your opinion, launch in December means "bad game".
2. The game needed more time in the "owen" ? It's one of the smoothest launches this year. Not many bugs and impressive game performance in spite of high base requirements. I don't have enough fingers to count how many poor launches there have been this year. Avatar is breath of fresh air in this regard.
3. The game needs a better quest system? Why? It's an fps, man, you shoot things and blow stuff up, and look cool while doing it. This is not Baldurs Gate 3.
4. Launched to "middling" reviews? I did not check all the reviews but I did check the "big" ones, and they all had nothing but praise. For a typical Ubisoft open world game, this is one of the better typical Ubisoft games. You review a game for what it is, not for what it isn't. If you eat a delicious burger, you're not going to say it's bad just because you wanted pizza.
5. You don't like the Avatar franchise and don't like Ubisoft open world games, yet apparently you were the best choice to review this game. That's like asking the CEO of Exxon to review a Tesla.
6. In spite of all the shade you threw at the game, you say you're going to keep playing it AND enjoy it? I'm sorry, but how can you enjoy something you clearly dislike? If you had just stayed the course and said it was a "bad" game all the way to the end, I would have respected that, as I respect people's opinions, even if I do not agree with them. But even you don't know if you like the game or not.
Bonus point: I know not everyone can afford a high end GPU, but Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is not a game you review on a 3060Ti.
