<br>One of the best parts about Assassin's Creed is the fact that it transports players to exciting historical settings. While seeing these unique time periods and locations is an at-times thrilling novelty, the games simply don't have the narrative chops to serve interesting stories in these settings. This is to say nothing of the overarching, long-running Assassin's Creed story , which is confusing and boring at best and nonsensical at wo<br><br> <br>The good news is that, although it is tied to an existing franchise, Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora Missions: Frontiers of Pandora presents an opportunity for Ubisoft to start fresh with a story and not worry about years of franchise baggage. Since Frontiers of Pandora will not be following film protagonist Jake Sully, Ubisoft can aim for a self-contained, satisfying, and simple story that doesn't overextend itself the same way that Assassin's Creed does with overly complex conspiracies, time travel elements, and poorly planned science-fiction concepts. Ubisoft will probably want to leave the door open for a Frontiers of Pandora sequel, but that doesn't mean that a gratifying and conclusive narrative can't be achieved in a single g<br><br> <br>Maps in expansive story-based open-world games like Frontiers of Pandora have multiple games worth of content spread out across the world, and players may want to skip past flying to their questline’s destination. It’s not common, but a system that trades premium currency for the ability to warp to new locations could be integrated into Frontiers of Pandora to bridge the gap between these massive biomes. While it's likely that cosmetics for these vehicles and animals will be locked behind microtransactions, there's a real chance that the transport itself will be restricted as w<br><br> <br>The Snowdrop Engine was already impressive before it was upgraded for Frontiers of Pandora . With its specialized version of the Snowdrop Engine, the game can demand a lot more without hindering performance and delivers the beautiful world that players have gotten to see so far. The engine’s upgrade allows for NPCs and environments that are reactive and immersive to the extent that flora and fauna may change behavior based on a player’s presence. Simply put, the engine has played no small role in making Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora look stunni<br><br> <br>In the Avatar film , the Mountain Banshees mark a significant rite of passage that is essential for all members of the Na'vi. The creatures look somewhat like dragons and serve as mounts and companions for their warriors. For Jake Sully, obtaining a Banshee of his own is one of the most important story beats because it means he has been fully accepted into the tribe as a warrior, to the point of being allowed to take a wife. It's essentially a coming-of-age ceremony that every Na'vi must compl<br><br> <br>Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is confirmed to be an open-world game and Pandora begs to be explored, so exploration is likely to be a huge part of gameplay. Exploring the world of Pandora from the back of a Banshee would be amazing, and might end up being the best part of the entire game. With a Banshee, the world becomes a whole lot bigger and would allow players to reach places that would be otherwise unreacha<br><br> <br>Many Ubisoft games follow a specific format that makes grinding more like an RPG, with skill levels often hiding quests, unlockables, and increased stats. The idea of Avatars is perfect for integrating RPG elements, as inhabiting a separate body with modifiable skills is exactly what the plot of the film is about. However, a recent trend in microtransactions is allowing the player to pay instead of grind, allowing them to skip content and get an overpowered character build fas<br><br> <br>One of the draws of Frontiers of Pandora will undoubtedly be flying through Pandora on the back of one of the flying beasts named Toruk. From the Hallelujah Mountains to the various Na’vi settlements to the RDA colonies scattered around the world, there are many different large areas that could be turned into discoverable regions. However, transportation like the Toruk could be locked either behind high XP levels or through microtransacti<br><br> <br>Unfortunately, Ubisoft doesn't appear to be interested in toning down microtransactions any time soon, if AC Valhalla and the upcoming live-service Assassin's Creed are any indication. Still, if Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora can resist the urge to commodify collectibles, gear pieces, and in-game currency, tying these resources to real-world money, it would result in a game that is much less frustrating and more focused on offering a fun experience over one that has the most profit potential. The game would also avoid the problems that Assassin's Creed games face when it comes to pac<br><br> <br>Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be an open-world game, but it doesn't have to be like Assassin's Creed in this regard. Pandora is a more interesting environment than even the coolest Assassin's Creed setting , and the alien planet will likely be one of the main draws for many players. As such, it will be crucial for Ubisoft not to squander the exploration and storytelling opportunities that it holds. Natural, gratifying exploration like that of Breath of the Wild and a genuine sense of unpredictability like that of Elden Ring could lead to a truly interesting and one-of-a-kind experie<br>
