Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora shows why games shouldn't launch in December

I've only had a few hours to put into Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but one thing is evident. This game needed a bit longer in the oven. December is a notoriously bad time to launch a new game. Besides Super Smash Brothers or other Nintendo Switch games, I can't think of many games that can battle against the zeitgeist that games like Fortnite, Warzone, and whichever games do well at the Game Awards command from the gaming audience around this time. The new Warzone from Call of Duty just launched, Fortnite introduced a huge update with Fortnite Legos and more. And later tonight, we will be covering the Game Awards live. 

These are just a few of the big gaming events going on while Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora quietly launches in the background. The launch date isn't the game's only issue though, which I noticed after only a few hours of gameplay.
