It has potential, exploring the castle was fun and flying around was enjoyable. I'm glad this was a hit.
I liked the Castle and I liked the combat, everything dealing with the open-world and story sucked ass.I hope they drop the whole "Ancient Magic" thing, it was so dumb.
>>738551194I played for two hours and never played it again
>>738551194played for 2 hours until i unlocked the broom, flew around the entire map for 15 minutes then uninstalled and never touched it again.
finished the game and it was fine harry potter themed open world game
>>738551194Kind of buggy. There was a bartender that had a mans voice that killed my immersion.
>>738552125for Sirona they really could have gotten a trans VA who has actually done voice training
>>738551194They gimped it for mods or it would be worth going back to. Someone needs to crack the most recent version so people can mod it. The only cracked version was really early and the tranny doing it fucked off.
>>738551194Enemy variety was so shit. 2 different human factions, gobbos, and fucking spiders everywhere. Shame because I did actually find the combat having potential with spell combos but eventually it just boils down to matching color shields

>>738551428nah it was a good reason for your character to be op as fuck which was fun
>>738552469>cast Sweezio Cheezio with your unregistered wand
>>738551194unfortunately rather shallow game>house does not matter at all, there is ONE unique mission for each house and it barely matters>house cup does not exist at all you win anyway >classes are basically 1 minute cutscene, at the end you get to learn a spell >night curfew does not exist>for some retarded reason you get your griffon and ground mount AFTER you get broom, both are inferior to broom>lockpick spell basically in the middle of a game, has several ranks which need another collection mini game

>>738551194Between Hogsmeade, Hogwarts, and the Forbidden Forest, it really had so much potential that got cast aside for open-world filler and filling out the Modern Action/Adventure with Slight RPG Elements™ checklist.>Room of Requirement for having a home base that you can decorate. Literally worthless except for:>Tacked on crafting/farming for consumables that have no business in a game based in a world that is literally about wand-waving nerds getting into magic duels and slinging spells.>Large variety of collectible clothing with stats tied to it, that in every game that has it (HL did it too), eventually has a slapdash appearance feature patched in so people could play dress-up without being forced to wear the clown suit based on the stats. BTW this game being set in a school with a strict dress code in literally all other media pertaining to it.>Open world and "play how you want" design means actual school life/classes/etc. and any sense of urgency or semblance of time management amounts to fuckall. "We have to go do X right now!", always boils down to "when you feel like going out that way".>Any and all relationships with other students is surface level dog water that never goes beyond interactions for quests. Your choice of house doesn't impede any relationships or change the side-characters you get railroaded into interacting with. You can't just befriend random people in your house. You can't invite them out to do anything just for fun or actual have to put in effort to build friendships.>the absolutely insane amount of forced diversity in a game set in early 20th century Scotland, especially considering how keen they are to tell you about all those magical schools all over the world.The opening sequence and actually getting to explore such a fantastically crafted version of Hogwarts was fantastic. Everything after those first few hours was so painfully mid that it made me retroactively regret the enjoyment I did have.
>>738553428There are mods. Revelio extender for long distance. They did stuff that puts all the npcs on scheduals. They added stuff but its a pain in the ass because all mods have to go through their system where you cant use the tools that would make many mods easier to manage,
>>738551194man i cant think of another game that was forgotten this hard. even cyberpunk holds more relevancy
i tried giving it a chance but im not really into HP
>>738553618The mods that they disabled? Coolio.
>>738552125>magical world where YCBARW (or a cat)>the magic people don't tell the muggles about it and just let them 41%Lol fuckin based
>>738551194I could see a Harry Potter fan enjoying roaming Hogwarts for an hour or two. But the flying? No, you're just wrong. It's as dull as conceivably possible.
>>738553921they moved them to curseforge (probably after they saw people giving teenagers nude body outfits). improved Revelio mod should work some of the nexus mods might still work (the arithmamcy cheat sheet which shows numbers works)
>>738551194>It has potential, exploring the castle was fun and flying around was enjoyable.It sad we didn't get to do more inside the castle.
>tfw there was no way to save her
>>738555575man whatthe fuck was the ehole point >IT WAS THE GOBBOS I AM TELLING YOU>Sebastian, goblins don't use eands or know dart arts you dumb faggot>I SWEAR ON ME MUM IZ DE GOBBOS>game ending, it was the local ped... I mean local gangster who gave her the curse aids at least you can keep gaslighting Sebastian into teaching you dark arts and now Seb's uncle is dead too lol
>>738552510I disagree, the Spells we learn plus the 3 Unforgivable Curses already do that just fine.
>>738551194I want to play as death-eater and rid hogwarts of indians and blacks.
>>738551194dont care, just remake the ps1 games and continue from there
>>738556225>indian tries to join death-eaters>they tell him that they don't accept shit-eaterskek
>>738551194Of course it has potential it’s one of the most popular settings in the world. However they just made it generic open world slop. The trials and puzzles etc. were so fucking boring. They should have just made pretty much exactly pic related but with modern graphics and controls. Then it would have broken all records. It’s actually kinda insane how bad they fumbled.
I dont really give a shit about Harry Potter but I really liked this game. The combat was very fun.
>>738552406>Discworld
>>738551194Too bad half of the game is just revelio simulator
>>738556546>funeach time I had to kill a troll I contemplated bullet to the braineven with rock protego and ancient magic they took fucking forever to kill
>>738556430Throwing gnomes is fun!!
>>738551194Solid 6/10
>>738554201>arithmancy cheat sheetAre people really this dumb? It only took me like two tries before I realized that they pulled a Stargate and started counting from 0. You don't even need a modded cheat sheet. The game gives you one in the classroom for arithmancy.
>>738551194>It has potentialIt has a good licence to pulll from you mean.The castle was alright, but it didn't make up for everything else being mid to ass.All the creative choices were wack, from the time period to the combat to the focus on the countryside to the genuinely abominable story and absolutely cringe and unnecessary extra superpower for the mc.
>>738552510>it was a good reason for your character to be op as fuckLike anybody was going to complain about the mc pulling DA tier stunts in a HP game?Considering the game pulls from a setting where a handful of teens routinely outperform whole governments it felt absolutely unnecessary.
>>738557268Why do you talk like a faggot?
>>738557591You are supposed to hide the fact that you attack the person because you can't attack the arguments anon.

>>738551194I'm not sure if foreigners can perceive this or not, but it feels way too American. The creators do not have an intuitive feeling for the culture they are depicting, and it really shows.
>>738559932I didn't realize wizards had culture. Is it dey cultcha?
>>738557779>feels attacked from a simple questionDidn't realize you were so sensitive.
>>738554010I was about to ask if there were any proven cases in the books about Polyjuice Potion being used for genderbending, but then I remembered that a minor subplot in book 6 was Crabbe and Goyle Polyjuicing into a first year little girl to keep a lookout on the RoR. Fucking imagine.
>>738560086This kind of gaslighting requires more context than 4chan allows for to be effective.You can't expect it to work if my entire opinion of you is just "disingenuous stranger".Revise your approach anon.
>>738551194They gotta fix the leveling system. Challenge based progression SUCKS.Need to either add Co-Op or a NPC party system. Listening to the protag moan about how it sucks being alone every 5 minutes gets kinda annoying.an implementation of "Wild" magic or Wand-less magic would be cool.
>>738551194I've heard the switch version was kneecapped, is the switch 2 version "fixed"?
>>738560165I guess sex would work, but I wonder about biology. Like, no really, what the fuck is going on there?If a girl turns into a guy, does she shoot blanks? Could she cum into a container, then make herself pregnant? Or does that cum vanish when the change reverts?What about a guy into a girl? I assume you'd never be able to have a kid because you'd change back way before then, and using another polyjuice would just reset it back to however the target looked when you took the hair sample.Shit makes no sense.
>>738551194Does it measure up?
>>738551194>on my way to 100%ing it clear everything>go southeast past tunnel/mountains>get bored>quit
It was fun, but if you're like me and tend to persist on the same save instead of starting a new game, you'll find that you'll run out of things to do outside of going around killing shit in the Scottish Highland. PC version has mods at least
>>738552469Not every game needs dlc, it is ok to sell the full hamburger too. And sequel is already being produced.
>>738551194I kinda shitty games fun and while the it was solid and polished, I was kind of boring. I felt they went too safe and tame to becoming the kind of wizard you wanna be. Seeing everything is cool but exploring for stuff was boring. Keep spamming the same spells over and over then wandering over to where there might be something. Wasn't really fun. I did mod it to be more fun when it came out. Funniest mod was making SIRona Ryan sound like a woman instead of the man who voiced her lol. I remember the backlash of that mod.
>>738561578damn, that's a fire looking mod. when I uninstalled HL mods were still 90% outfits.
>>738560410You are the biggest faggot I've encountered here in a long time and that's saying something.
It was Ubislop, but I genuinely think it had some of the best variety when it came to exploration and introducing new activities. At least compared to the Sony games I've played like Ghost of Tsushima. Too bad enemies were a different story, and the game felt rushed by the end. The one thing I appreciated was hearing NPCs in the open world reference my actions, that makes the "legacy" part of the title appropriate, though it would've been better as more of a proper RPG
>>738561908>feels attacked from a simple observationDidn't realize you were so sensitive.
>>738562771You're pathetic.
>>738561498I really don't know why they bothered making such an empty and far away region. Besides map discovery and mandatory quests, I didn't do anything there.
>>738562884Your current seething is exactly why I'm telling you your approach was ass.Are you happy with this result? No? That's because you fucked up.
>>738563147Sure thing, retard.
>Yellow means you can use this attack now>Red means you can use this>Purple means you can use this now tooNo. I wanna do whatever the fuck i want to some two foot jew at any given moment.
>>738551428>everything dealing with the open-world and story sucked ass.I mean I thought it was really nice flying around the scottish highlands, it would just be nice if you had more things to do out in the world besides a couple of puzzles. My biggest problem with the game was that even thought I played it for free with no real expectations, it becomes frustrating with all the missed opportunities. Like whats the point of a day/night cycle when it never actually matters? You can run around the school all hours and the only time a curfew is ever mentioned are in a total of TWO missions that are just shitty forced stealth. Or how they have all four houses, and spend time making the common rooms unique, only to have your house not matter one fucking bit. What a missed opportunity to not have a curfew, or teachers who can catch you misbehaving that would cause you to have detention, or lose points for your house which would effect your reputation with other students. You know, just the tiniest bit of reactivity from the game. And really, the whole time I was just imagining the Bully: Hogwarts game in my head that could have been so much better. Also the gear/equipment system was fucking trashola. The room of requirements was neat for a home base, but I really feel like it should have been integrated into the common room.
>>738551428ThisThe castle was fine but goddamn was the rest just barren
>>738551428>I hope they drop the whole "Ancient Magic" thing, it was so dumb.Blame JK Rowling for that. Ancient Magic was established all the way back in Sorcerers Stone as what saved Harry from Abra Cadabra
I liked this game and thought it was fun for what it was. I would definitely pre order a Hogwarts Legacy 2 made by the same people. Side bonus was getting the trannies to seethe.
>>738556019Yeah but the uncle was a jerk about it so I didn't mind killing him
I hit flow state when I played it like standard ubisoft game
Flipendo >>>>>
>>738551194I want to love it, but seeing old timey Britain presented as a modern globalist mixing pot just reminds me of how bad actually modern Britain has gotten. A guy on a student Visa is a councillor. For fucks sake. And he hates white people, of course.
>>738556234Leviosaaaaaasaaaaaaaa
>>738557268Time period was fine, and its a little weird to dance around since the series takes place during the 90's, so current-day harry potter has to incorporate all the events of the books/movies. Setting it right before ventures into prequel territory, and since the wizarding world is old, you just go back far enough to be divorced from everything in the books/movies while still being able to exist in the world. And at least setting it in a period means you don't have obnoxious dated zoomer lingo hamfistedly jammed in there.
>>738551194My only issue was that there were zero ramifications for throwing around curses.
Really hoping the sequel will be a huge step up, though I am worried they're going to tie it in way too heavily to the reboot series.
>>738563853Didn't they announce that it was going to be a shitty live service grindfest instead of just polishing off the flaws of the first game and expanding on the assets they already have.
>>738552406Harry Potter Wizards>Actually do magic>Fun>Actually wizardsDiscworld Wizards>Do very little, usually no magic, because other people did magic before and it was bad>A bunch of nepotistic whiners >The only relevant ones aren't wizards but IT guys and the typical "I don't understand IT" IT boss
>>738564227I don't know. Did they?
>>738562198I liked those sections, I don't know if I want to play a whole game of Take on Me, but it was a nice visual change of pace and fit the whole storybook flashback it was supposed to be. Kind of reminded me of the Rage levels in Wet where everything just became a stylish black and red monochrome while you tried to murder a level full of doods as quickly and stylishly as possible.
>>738564223On the other hand, I would absolutely love a chance to magical prank Black Snape.
>>738564345I have some vague memory of a thread about some clickbait headline, but nothing I'd be confident enough to testify about in court.
>>738559932I know exactly what you mean
>>738559932It feels non British because of all the niggers and the tranny
>>738564137I think it would have been best set in 1979, after the marauders graduated but before voldemort's first demise.That way you have a hogwarts and wizarding world that is still fully familiar to the player, that lets you have beloved teachers show up, and still lets you make up the overwhelming majority of the cast.In such a setup, you could easily slot in a plot about defeating a death eater's independent scheme while having all sort of drama within the school body.Or if that's too grim, early 80s: you might have a couple book characters among the students (Bill Weasley?), but it lets you have a much happier setting while retaining the death eater plot, Bellatrix vs Longbottoms style.Going 1900 is just too early for decent plotlines that don't rely fully on the writers like they're writing original work rather than fanfiction, and unsuprisingly they ended up with that ridiculously goblin & special snowflake magic plot.
Do you think the Ministry ever discovered all the Dark Wizard and Poacher bodies we left in our wake? There's hundreds of corpses across Scotland.
>>738564803Those are rookie numbers
im convinced anyone that liked this game never played the combat"hey we have a game with magic and unlimited potential to defeat enemies in a million ways how should we do combat?""uh just have them push a button to go 'pew pew pew' sparks from their wand until the enemy dies after 20 hits""...""that's not all! to show them that we COULD have given them cool spells, we will have a 'pew pew pew' meter, and if you pew pew 1,000 times, you get to cast ONE cool spell!""...""and it will look really cool. but its not like its some mega ultimate spell, it will just be like regular spells characters could use whenever they wanted in the book, but just actually used in cool ways to show we COULD have done stuff like that, but that we hate them"
>>738565139Cmon, combat is decent. I played the unforgivable curses build, and by the end of the game it was quite enjoyable, and the final Rockwell(?) fight was great.
>>738551194They should have had combat while flying, though
>>738552469The current strong rumor is after the sheer amount of money it made Warner Bros got more involved and wanted to have the sequel tie-in closely with the direction they want the series to go in from the TV series which is why we will only be hearing about it this year
>>738551194>>738551428Castle was depressing because you can't really interact with it or any of the students. It's more like a museum where you just watch NPCs interact with each other or little canned events play out that you don't participate in. It's crazy that just about every interactive mechanic (companions, house points, actual curfew) was cut out last second.
>>738552125>missed the easter egg where you gift him a rope necklace and cast ackkio on it.
>>738561782>it is ok to sell the full hamburger tooThat never happened though.
>>738552406DnD Wizards>Basically control the entire setting.>Use their magic to break the rules of magic itself.>Most of them don't go to magic school, instead they just get a personalized mentorship or go on adventures to learn & train till they get gud.>Able to cast spells without wands or staves. Can use pretty much anything as a foci in-place of spell components. If they do use wands or staves they're usually specially designed magic items meant to make theme even stronger.>Defeat Liches, Giants, Demons, and Eldritch Abominations on a regular basis.>Can conjure a giant mansion full of servants that'll serve them whatever food they want. >Rise the ranks by going on adventures, collecting magic items, and stealing spells from other wizards.>Most powerful wizard literally became a god and has nearly conquered the multiverse twice.>Have multiple different ways to avoid & cheat death.
>>738551194eh it HAD potential and squandered all of it to make a generic open world slopathon with bad combat. I wish we could get a harry potter game that takes the persona calendar system that takes place primarily within the school so we actually get the experience of attending wizard boarding school.
>>738572118how about you Persona 3 yourself
>>738560771Pls respond
>>738551194this game was like cocaine for my girlfriend when e played it on ps4, now she wants me to get a s5 just so we play the sequel.
>>738569887I believe is gonna tie-in directly into the hbo series, hence why it is set in the 90s. also it makes me curious if theyre gonna respect/re-use hogwarts design from the old movies, the game has it and it supossedly is considered set in the new hbo continuity.
