Releasing 9/22/23 - available on (PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S) aanguwu

Well that’s coming soon. The puzzles seem intriguing, visuals.. Less so (some moments feel pretty stiff or weirdly done, like that pillar going down in the one puzzle shown.

It’ll probably be a library pick up for me first, but I’m at least intrigued enough to try

Its got some cool puzzles aspect, but the actual graphics need work..

neon kestrel
#

(Gonna be on hold though because that’s right between when the first part of the Pokemon DLC drops and when the final Sonic Frontiers update drops

hasty idol
#

Agreed tophlaugh !! It kinda feels like a 2008-10 nintendo game, but regardless I’m still excited they’re producing games for consoles sokkajuiced maybe this will open some doors for a open world in the future?

#

DANGGG

errant sierra
#

Yee I feel that 2008 game haha

#

Made for the DS

#

Also I wonder how many aspects of bending we will get like what the limit will be

hasty idol
#

I hope theres no limit sokkajuiced I know you can play as 9 different characters

#

I feel like we might have to switch between them to do certain tasks

errant sierra
#

oh yeah definitely

#

I havent watched the full trailer, but will there be ie metal bending or lightning do u recon?

hasty idol
#

sokkajuiced it would be a major miss if they didn’t!! I definitely think there will be

errant sierra
#

I really hope so would be pretty cool

#

But I really hope they upgrade the graphics a bit

#

Like this is a bit upsetting

dusky trellis
#

cel shading wouldve really done this game some justice cuz phew

silver parrot
#

So new gameplay trailer has come out

#

And it sucks lol

ancient phoenix
#

Waiting for the day Nickelodeon makes a good avatar game 🙏

#

Hire 1 good studio and this IP has masterpiece potential I beg 😭

raw mulch
#

I think the style of the game is very nice but the animations for the characters really need some work

solid charm
#

elca gaming will probably have a few comments after this

faint burrow
#

whats it with this franchise and shitty remakes/adaptations?

errant sierra
#

I do like that its multiplayer but please improve graphics 😭

raw mulch
#

It has the same kinda of look as breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom but like not as realistic

neon kestrel
#

At least it’s looking better than Gollum? (Rip that dev studio closing down)

raw mulch
#

It still looks better then when avatar generations was first released

silver parrot
#

Yeah but now AG looks better lmfao

raw mulch
#

It looks better now but when the game first released it looked... different

silver parrot
#

Oh I know

#

Again, been around since beta release lol

#

Been a full year since I’ve played the game now 😂

#

But yeah I’m not hyped for quest for balance

#

I probably won’t play it, it doesn’t seem like a faithful adaptation either

#

And I KNOW the voices won’t be from the show

#

So I have no investment in it

blissful grail
#

This game better not be $70 with how it looks so far

#

Are puzzles involved in all the boss battles tho? Cuz that’s gonna get old real fast

woven fractal
blissful grail
#

Hmmmmmm still not sure.

ancient phoenix
#

Sorry Nickelodeon this is $10 shovelware try harder next time

#

Idk how they get it wrong literally every time 😭😭 just make a bending fighting game already I would play the shit out of that

neon kestrel
#

While I can’t defend the visuals, I imagine there’s a chunk of game design decisions going on about to whom said game is being targeted, what genre they want to use (puzzle games can be intriguing), etc. Avatar: The Last Airbender appeals to groups across many ages, so It’s something they gotta weigh well.

Fighting games.. If you mean like arcade style fighting…i feel is a niche that can be hard to get into and get right (see: Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid and the trouble it had, and even when it was great, it didn’t get the notice it should’ve)

#

I imagine they saw a puzzle platform as having an easy enough jumping into point that anyone could play it

silver parrot
#

Open world should have been what they went with here lol

#

Aka just a breath of the wild ATLA game or like DBZ kakarot

#

Or even FFXV

neon kestrel
#

I’m personally good without another open world

#

And even then, open world i feel mainly describes the map, not the genre. But people are all going to have their preferences.

errant sierra
hasty idol
#

Honestly, if you guys want a open world avatar game not buying this one wouldn’t be the way to go!! More than likely they are gonna gauge interest with sales from this one

hasty idol
hasty idol
silver parrot
#

I also haven’t played the Zelda games somehow LOL

#

Even tho I can emulate them to run and look better than the switch by far 😂

#

But I don’t see them making an open world game because of this game

#

Like it would need to be well known players want open world atla

#

Like trending on twitter, big gaming YouTubers talking about, etc.

#

Petitions, the works lol

neon kestrel
#

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom do what they set out to do, and are fairly well built. Some gripes on my end just from the nature of open world they went with, puzzles, and breakable weapons. solid sandbox games at least (especially Tears), just not my thing

onyx cobalt
#

years ago i saw some fan made game that looked kinda similar, idk if this is the "full" version or the finalized version of that fan game - which would make this amazing. Is there any information about that at the moment ?

hasty idol
#

I know what ur talking about sokkajuiced I’m trying to think of the name, tophs va played a rough trailer of it right?

worn wren
#

The game looks fun but the visuals and graphics aren’t the best

silver parrot
#

For dreams right?

#

That the fan game you’re talking about?

spice cipher
#

Idc, I want this game

hasty idol
#

Boost since its coming out

magic ridge
#

.

#

donk

#

whens the release date

hasty idol
#

9/22/23!!

spice cipher
#

Can't wait to play it!

open cradle
#

Does the game cost money?

spice cipher
#

Yes 50 dollars I think

silver parrot
muted frost
ancient phoenix
#

It’s not 💀

#

$20 would be pushing it

#

$50 is absurd

neon kestrel
#

Visually, $50 feels off. But perhaps the gameplay feels better 🤷🏻‍♂️ thus my library borrow

errant sierra
#

yeah but graphics is also a large part of the gameplay and it doesn't hold up IMO for 50$

neon kestrel
#

Idk if I necessarily agree with that view of graphics.

On the bright side, it’s nowhere near Gollum levels, at least so far

neon kestrel
#

Watch my library not get a copy 🤣

placid willow
#

Is this for PS4 because I didn’t see it in the PS4 PSN store?

errant sierra
placid willow
placid willow
errant sierra
#

Ah dang how many hours is it roughly of gameplay?

placid willow
errant sierra
#

ahh ok

magic ridge
#

Yo, what game engine does it use? Unity or Unreal?

muted frost
#

@magic ridge unreal

#

bro

#

I use controller on pc but it doesnt show me controller buttons

#

i can use it but it doesnt show me and it is confusing

#

plus on the Chapeter Spirit world I cant get to the village

magic ridge
#

but wanted to know before I buy

placid willow
#

So playing it for a bit, it’s really not that bad of a game, the graphics are pretty solid (due to running on an Unreal Engine), even the voice cast is not bad also, just the camera is so annoying to deal with, it’s set behind the location but it shifts from left to right and back constantly giving me a headache at times.

muted frost
#

bro can you use controller on pc and for it to show you controller buttons ?

#

bc i had to make what buttons of the controller are what buttons of the pc

#

and it still shows me pc buttons

deft night
#

hello my wife and i are trying to play together on our xbox one, but we cant figure out how to get the 2player working

magic ridge
#

If I'm being honest I would play this game, but maybe for 30 dollars. 70 dollars is just insane to me for what this is, basically a scam. Not even voice acted? Really?

#

Me and my sister were thinking of playing it but we can't justify spending 140 dollars on that shit to play coop

errant sierra
placid willow
muted frost
#

but our currency is Euros

#

So I guess I'm pretty lucky

#

so maybe try to create a European account

magic ridge
#

I'd normally give a game like this a pass, but they don't even have voice acting

muted frost
#

and get it cheaper

magic ridge
#

it's truly pathetic, my expectations were low, but this really surprised me

muted frost
muted frost
#

but thank god there are other games coming too

#

bro the co op is pretty pathetic too

#

its impossible to play from the same device

#

its a little bit busted

placid willow
magic ridge
#

Except for zuko

placid willow
magic ridge
#

Yeah but the dialogue boxes that pop up aren't read out lmao

#

They just say "let's go" while the text box has dialogue

placid willow
#

Because most of them during gameplay is just sounds and quick voices from the characters, obviously to save money or because this game is made cheap, not every dialogue is gonna be said (it’s like a Mario game or such where the main character doesn’t always speak)

magic ridge
#

you say to make it cheap or to save money

#

so why are they charging me 70 dollars nzd which is in line with many AAA titles

neon kestrel
#

Sounds like how fire emblem did the voice acting in some of their games

soft steppe
#

Anybody here know how to rip the models? I've tried using the most recent version of Umodel, but I keep getting errors

silver parrot
#

🤷‍♂️

soft steppe
# magic ridge what errors are you getting?

Basically, it's asking me to define what specific version of UE4 the game uses. But since the game runs on UE5 (I think), it won't work no matter what I pick. Does Umodel not support UE5 yet? Or does Quest for Balance have the UE4 engine?

#

And if so, how do I know which version it is?

magic ridge
#

find the executable file, properties, details

#

it is likely listed there

#

id be surprised if it was 5

soft steppe
#

Hmm okay lemme try that real fast

#

Okay that seemed to work @magic ridge but now I have another error message. Mind if I DM you?

#

Btw the game is UE4 version 4.27

#

"Internal Oodle decompressor failed, oo2core_5_win32.dll not found" is what it says now

hasty idol
#

I have not seen good reviews on this so far zukocry

silver parrot
#

Lmao yep

#

Don’t like the switch version at all either

#

They shouldn’t have let that studio handle it at all

#

They don’t have a good track record 😂

#

Seriously, all they had to do was give it to a major studio of some kind

hasty idol
neon kestrel
#

Raises questions, I feel, of how the process has gone. Who approached whom in this? How much time did they have? How much money? What other complications might have come up during production?

hasty idol
#

There definitely needs to be more communication

#

There wasn’t even any promotions for this game on any official Avatar platform

magic ridge
neon kestrel
#

I’m sure there’s more to it than just that

magic ridge
#

their entire business model seems to be producing low quality franchise shovelware - same with the publisher

#

I don't believe so

#

looking at their body of work

#

It's the same reason zynga and other mobile studios produce dogshit mobile free to play games instead of a AAA groundbreaking title

#

their business model is to produce trash, and it seem nickelodeon likes working with them

#

because it'll be profitable

#

But they've also created games for marvel

#

so they have a portfolio that fits the bill when it comes to working with big studio IPs

neon kestrel
#

We also know it seems game devs don’t necessarily have the best conditions. I’m not gonna rule out those other questions, personally.

And honestly, when I look at the game, it looks like there’s an interesting core there, graphics/art style aside.

magic ridge
#

Not really

#

It's just trash through and through

#

The only redeeming thing in the game is the 2D art, but I'm not a fan of how the motion graphics guys used a puppet warp on everything

#

The gameplay is similar to what you'd find in an Unreal Engine 101 tutorial on youtube

#

All I can hope for is that the artists got paid

#

and the devs got paid

#

and there wasn't a lot of crunch

#

I bet they make very low bids and undercut other studios

silver parrot
#

But what I don’t get is not investing in this day and age

#

Did they not see how well hogwarts legacy did?

#

How well the blue people avatar will do?

#

Just hand it to a triple A studio, give it a great budget, and they’ll make a massive profit, it’s that simple

magic ridge
#

I know it will probably be a fairly standard AA fare, but it's servicable and it's canon

#

which is super cool (I've got all the comics etc)

#

as for the ATLA games, It'd be cool if they just set the game like, 1000 years before ATLA, they let you create an Avatar and pick their natural element, etc

silver parrot
#

Would need to be not canon if it’s a choose natural element

#

Cuz avatar cycle and timeline shenanigans

#

I’m not hyped for that game cuz I ain’t a fan of the blue people avatar

#

Never have been lol

#

I just can’t understand tho why not invest well into avatar

#

They could make a massive amount of money it’s insane

#

They could charge the standard 70 dollars nowadays and everything with triple A studio and a great budget

silver parrot
#

Such an accurate review 💀

#

He’s right at the end, BRING BACK THE KORRA GAME

#

It was made by platinum games, far better than this game lol

unborn temple
hasty idol
#

I saw that LMAO

#

Ahh I can’t wait till it goes on clearance so I can play it

silver parrot
#

I would simply just sail the seven seas for it-

#

I’m not willing to support gamemillet lol.

#

The retro rebound review about the game being offensively bad just sealed it in for me

neon kestrel
#

I’m admittedly still intrigued, but I don’t think it’s worth that price. Idk, the footage at least in that video didn’t seem..too bad? (Piracy of games is a no go for me)

neon kestrel
#

Yeah, I’m pretty much withholding final judgement until then.

silver parrot
#

I can at least tell you to not buy the switch version under any circumstances

#

Poor frame rates and whatnot and lower graphics obviously

spice cipher
#

I might not get the game because I'm saving up for an ipad

magic ridge
#

just go for the ipad lmao

muted frost
#

look I don't know what you expexted but its prety decent

#

all they could have put is a little better voice acting and a little bit more fighting skills

#

and generally a little more fighting

muted frost
#

and glider

#

Actually now that I think about it they could have lowered the price too

magic ridge
#

20 dollar game, max

muted frost
#

bro i got it for 30

#

you just got to search

unborn temple
#

Asking price is 50 USD

#

Resale could be different

magic ridge
#

$30 usd is still over 2x what I'd be willing to pay

neon kestrel
#

Starting price of $50 is high. I could see 20-30 usd, based on size and what not.

But people will also often weigh the cost of games differently

hasty idol
silver parrot
#

So uh if y’all really wanna find good deals

#

Just use GG deals website

#

You’ll be able to find insane deals often lol

#

Maybe there’s a good deal somewhere for this game to lower the cost who knows

#

Switch version of this game doesn’t even deserve to be priced at 20 dollars 💀

#

If a game has bad enough FPS issues to where it’s constantly noticeable, it shouldn’t be worth much in general

#

Which the switch version has constant issues as is

errant sierra
silver parrot
#

It’s really not like pirating (which I support anyways)

#

Not to mention that money still goes to the creators.

#

You’re probably thinking of a key shop if anything

#

Which sells keys that they obtain for games

errant sierra
#

Gg deals is a key shop?

silver parrot
#

No

#

It shows deals of all kinds

#

Whether it’s official or from a key shop

#

So it will show steam for example

#

And other websites that have deals like gamebillet

#

And then there’s a section for key shop sales

#

Which is completely legal lol

#

And it has a chart

#

Showing the price of each game and historic lows

#

It’s really nice

silver parrot
#

So I’m playing the legend of korra game rn

#

And uh, man the combat in it puts quest for balance to shame in every way possible

neon kestrel
#

Tbf, different games, possibly different focus

silver parrot
#

Meh, even the boss fights feel more fun, it’s insanely difficult and not puzzle based lol

#

But it’s a very short game unfortunately

#

Great but short

#

It has a lot of replayability tho

#

Has pro bending mode after you complete story mode on any difficulty, and both that mode and story have three difficulties

#

With casual, normal, and extreme, and as I just finished the game on casual first, I can only imagine how much more difficult normal and extreme will be 😭

#

But yeah no, the combat is absurdly amazing

#

Maybe if that combat was in this game, it would be good

neon kestrel
#

But again, the games seem to have different focuses. LoK seems more meant to be an action-y combat game, and QfB being a puzzle game. That’d be like saying the combat of an action game should be in a Lego game, imo

silver parrot
#

Tbf Lego games actually have good combat 😂

#

If QfB is a puzzle game, why even have combat in the first place

neon kestrel
#

Idk. I’m just saying it’s probably not the most fair to compare them in that sense when they had different goals

pine glade
#

Yo

#

Did you know their is a online co op? I just found out

hasty idol
#

Yes!!!

muted frost
#

its awesome

woven fractal
#

Is this or avatar generations better?

magic ridge
#

Avatar generations because it's free

silver parrot
#

Yeah but avatar generations is putting out a lot less content due to layoffs so they’re taking a while to work on the game well

#

And it has a lotta bugs and balancing issues lol.

#

I mean I’ve played since beta on it and still play every single day

#

But that means you’ve gotta be willing to constantly play for a long time to deal with those issues 😂

You can’t get it legitimately anyways since it’s delisted

woven fractal
#

i saw steam unlocked not sure how to use it though

silver parrot
#

Oh mac I got no clue lmao.

#

You pretty much just have to download it from that website then run the EXE application

#

It’s pretty simple for windows

#

Idk if it’s different for mac

neon kestrel
#

It’s also frowned upon to talk about how to pirate things here, iirc

silver parrot
#

True true true

#

More like piracy is against discord TOS-

#

But that’s why you don’t send links lol.

#

i heard its a great game

woven fractal
#

tbh i might get this for christmas (i know it has bad graphics n it doesnt follow the show well) however its basically the only game of atla to use since avatar generations shut down, and i have the 3ds games but we know how the 3ds is so

silver parrot
#

Could just emulate the PS2 games

#

lord dont even get me started w that i spent a days research on it n u cant get it unless u spend crazy moneys

No official channel to buy the game with after all.

Ofc I can’t talk about it here since it’s against TOS lmao

#

#

NO 😂

Why do you think piracy is an issue for companies and whatnot 😂

woven fractal
#

n i would need a key for it

silver parrot
#

Oh yeah you’re just kinda screwed in general lol

Can’t expect to game on a Mac lol

hasty idol
ebon nymph
#

should i buy the game it sounds and looks bad

neon kestrel
#

Could always see if there’s a place you could borrow it or something. Sometimes public library systems have access to games

ebon nymph
#

good idea

silver parrot
#

Personally I wouldn’t recommend buying it

#

Not a fan of supporting something that clearly wasn’t well made or made with good intent 😂
