Since Hogwarts Legacy had to strip most of the actual school features out what are the best games that let you go to a magical academy?
Does it have to be a school? I think a fantasy library or whatever the wizard equivalent of a monastery/nunnery would basically be the same vibe.
>>739355472The original Harry Potter trilogy (aka the first 3 games only) are pretty much your best bet sadly. No one else wants to really do the genre, which is crazy when you consider how popular HP was. I guess Rowling burning bridges with the left have made it so the more creative types don't want to bother.
>>739355618I think Rowling going schizo provides indies with an opportunity to make their own not-Hogwarts game to catch all the people flaking off from Arry Porrer. Imo the soulless TV show is worse than her out of touch political takes.
>>739355752You'd think but the only game I've seen similar to that is 'Secret Agent Wizard Boy and the International Crime Syndicate' and desu I'd rather they just play it straight instead of making it such an obvious 'joke' parody.
>>739355752>Rowling going schizo*being right about everything
>>739355472what would you even do? like, how would the gameplay loop work?
>>739355618I played those games and while they're fun, they aren't really much of a school sim. You don't get to choose classes or anything.
>>739355889Ideally you could pick classes, pick your own staff/wand/ring/whatever, pick your familiar, etc.
>>739355752Bro dilate that hole already I can smell the dead cells from here.
>>739355889Educating people about pronouns and how their lifestyle choices aren't a fetish, they just derive sexual pleasure from their lifestyle choices and from forcing others outside Magical Academy to participate under threat of social ostracization
>>739355837she's just another retarded man-hater. her man-hate is just big enough that she hates even trannies. as everyone should of course, but she hates them because they're men, not because they're trannies.
>>739356006>her man-hate is just big enough that she hates even tranniesno, read what she actually wrote in her essay that made a certain type of person, who made certain lifestyle choices their identity, so upset. go read it
>>739356006>>739356114>>739355997You people never get bored of this same old bullshit?
>>739355952and once you've done all that 'picking'?
>>739356006>she hates them because they're men, not because they're trannies.I respect her ideological consistency at the very least.
>>739356006>her man-hate is just big enough that she hates even trannies>she hates them because they're men, not because they're trannieswhat's the difference?
the ip will never recover from black snapeget over it while u still can
>>739355472You know the answer
>>739355472Its crazy to me no one has made a sims style school sim game
>>739356524Artificial Academy is a thing.
>>739355472College of Winterhold in Skyrim. Can even fuck the cutie undergrad Brelyna Maryon
>>739356560Thats not a school sim, that a make a women and rape her sim
>>739356685Just toss in some yanderes until it becomes a school shooter sim.
>>739356660That one pissed me off. The first quest makes it seem like you might actually get a mage school experience and then the very next one immediately Skyrims it up and you're just killing draugr in a cave again.
>>739355472her game
Is it true that those Hogwarts games that got shut down were full of girls to roleplay with?Sounds impossible now.
>>739356006Rowling is a lot weirder about women than she's about men. She seems to dislike women and she seems to dislike being a woman and seems to feel like people who decide to live as women when they could be living as men are mocking her.
How would you make a game, or a property in general, that's Harry Potter, but not quite? Like. What would you change and what do you think you'd absolutely have to keep?
>>739355472>what are the best games that let you go to a magical academy?
>>739355472Real Talk?This game isnt bad to scratch that magic academy itch
>>739358657>Rowling is a lot weirder about women than she's about men. She seems to dislike women and she seems to dislike being a womanNo she just grew up during Thatcher.>and seems to feel like people who decide to live as women when they could be living as men are mocking her.Those are actually men who decided to live like men, but dressed as a woman. And no one likes them, really.
>>739358657She's a feminist that doesn't like men pretending to be women, which is pretty natural
>>739355618Most creative types love Rowling and hate leftistsLeftists can't create anything new, they take what others make and add propaganda
>>739360385>Leftists can't create anything new, they take what others make and add propagandaThe sheer irony when 95% of right based products are either outright scams, bitching about the left, just 'thing but we made it BASED and racist' (really those last two tend be the same thing) or just 'normal thing that we take credit for because it was good, please don't look into what the creators believe and also clearly pro-'thing we hate' doesn't count this time, SHUT UPIt's bad bait but I responded anyways.
>>739355618>The original Harry Potter trilogy (aka the first 3 games only)Which ones? There's are multiple completely different versions for different systems; and I hear people talk up different ones
>>739360528Well I personally like the PC ones but I know people speak highly of the PS1 and gamecube versions. I think they're all more or less enjoyable.
>>739355472Academagia (actually a shit game)
>>739360385The right has barely any significant artists, because the right keeps insisting that art is for fags. You have, what? Rowling, Eastwood and who, fucking Kid Rock and Nicki Minaj?
>>739360590Rowling isn't even rightwing. She just has this one issue she disagrees with but otherwise skews left HARD in everything else.
>>739360629She threw Corbyn under the bus, "left" my ass.
>>739358712Absolutely have to keep>The school/academy is in a castle>different houses and the points system>the overall aesthetic of the first four HP movies, focusing more on the school rather than what's outside of it>the magical curriculum (potions, dark arts defense, generic spell classes)>the duels from HP 2>rivalries akin to Potter and Malfoy between characters>the wands (or other magical focus items such as staves or orbs if that's too much on the nose)>familiars (cats, owls, toads)>some sort of sport (akin to Quidditch)what to change>the sportshaving one dominate is fine but have more options>the chosen one storylineI just want to be a student and have the stories focus more on the school itself. Saving friends, nearby places and people from the school instead of saving the entire world from wizard hitler. Having a main antagonist is fine, just make the threat smaller.What I want is the Monster-of-the-week setup known from TV series but put it into the school setting. Have the characters be part of the world, not the world revolving around them.>spirit animalPatronus, but not as limited towards scaring off dementors or whatever>slice of life instead of action adventureAs said before, more classes, more shenanigans, more classmate rivalry instead of saving the world>the age groupI'd personally go with a Magical College rather than a magical elementary school only for the reason to avoid any backlash from normalfags about romance, but otherwise I'm ambivalent to it.These are the things from the top of my head, but granted I didn't watch or read any Harry Potter stuff in a year.It's surely not for everyone, but the HP fandom at large definitely seems to be more interested in house/student dynamics than the storyline rowling wrote in the first place.
Basically just make a Persona game but Harry Potter themed tbqh.
>>739360462The sheer irony when 95% of left based products are either outright propaganda, bitching about the right, just 'thing but we made it WOKE and retarded' (really those last two tend be the same thing) or just 'normal thing that we take credit for because it was good, please don't look into what the creators believe and also clearly pro-'thing we hate' doesn't count this timeSee, I can do it too, you fucking faggot nigger.
>>739361116I'd add to this that harvest moon type seasonal / annual events and holidays would work so well for this type of imaginary game. You could have the aesthetics of these events change the world and lighting but also obviously have magical aspects to them too. Halloween in a game like this would be fucking kino of the highest order
>>739362324The Castle in Hogwarts Legacy was actually decorated for Halloween and Christmas. Just the actual celebrations never came up.
>>739361184So just zero gameplay outside of turn based combat? Tbqh that sounds like what they would do because that sounds like the lowest effort dogshit possible and not what people are asking for at all
>>739360590>The right has barely any significant artists,Does the left?I don't mean that as a diss, really, I just can't think of any significant artists post, say, Bob Ross.I mean there's plenty of people who make art, but how many of them are significant?As an aside, how many mangaka do you think would agree with the western left?
>>739361184Don't know about the other anon, but I think it could be a viable starting point.
>>739363162>>The right has barely any significant artists,>Does the left?A good couple, if we're being strict. Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Oshii, Oliver Stone, Bono, Jane Fonda, Boots Riley, Bob Dylan, Thomas Pynchon...If we include "left leaning liberal", man, that's almost all of them.>As an aside, how many mangaka do you think would agree with the western left?The ones who are left leaning in general, I guess. Obviously the left in Japan, the left in Europe and the left in America aren't identical, but they still have a lowest common denominator they can all agree on.
>>739363597Ah see I was a thinking of 'artist' in a strictly painter/sculptor style. Musicians and filmmakers didn't enter my train of thought at all.So, yea, that reframes the initial statement completely. Yes there are more 'artists' on the left.
>>739355889There's a lot to brainstorm. It could be a simulation and have random events between students, a Persona calendar system and class schedules that you need to take with events if you miss, its kinda open world, spell mastery and you choose your branch or master potions/alchemy (it could be its own system, not necessarily related to HP like Magicka spells). Would it have random battles with monsters or dungeons and would they be turn-based/real-time? Idk.
>>739355889like Bully but with magic
>>739356006Almost every baseline average woman does that tsundere man hater shit but still loses to cock and falls in love regularly (usually the bratty "I hate men" routine is almost entirely a cope whenever another romance with men has failed). That's completely normal and shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's kinda cute even.Taking an anti-ZOG approved stance on anything and refusing to back down publicly is a more serious and admirable matter.
>>739355818There's witchbrook which will surely release for sure at some point soon
>>739356660Don't piss me off. That makes you the goddamned Headmaster in five missions.
>>739357178>Skyrims it upThat is the term I guess...
Ikenfell
>>739355889DAO mage origin except bigger
Mana Khemia
>>739355472Harry Potter 5 had some magic classes and exams, way more than HLegacyI played it on the ps2 but i know theres a PC version
>>739355472Amor Magical Academy
>>739355472Skyrimyou never said the magical academy part had to be goodOblivion, but half the questline and probably the better half is about actually getting into the academySecret agent wizard boy and the international crime syndicate, which despite being past 1.0 is still in early access, try and make sense of that.
>>739355472>>739371361I forgot one, if you want to run an academy instead maybe try mind over magic
>>739360385Be real, anon. Most of the ones into anything like Harry Potter in the first place were Tumblrites and Tumblr-adjacent, they're not the ones who will go "fuck wokies"
>>739360584Shame.
>>739361184>>739363219>>739362324A Harvest Moon/Persona style seasonal calendar with events would go pretty hard.
>>739360271hermoine opposed slavery and was portrayed as being a dumb activist for doing so
>>739362894Just because you're a faggot that can't understand what a life sim is doesn't mean that it lacks gameplay outside of the combat. God, /v/ is so stupid sometimes.
>>739362056See? Even your post lacks any creativity. Your 'even I can do it to!' doesn't even make sense anyways.
>>739373634Such a weirdly revealing plot point. >"It's just natural for these two races to have a master-servant relationship and you're culturally insensitive for questioning it!"There's a lot of weird, uncomfortable shit in Harry Potter. But back then we just assumed Rowling isn't actually bigoted, she's just british.
Professor shrinks you and makes you worship her feet as a punishment haha
>>739355472Seconding this, I want an autistic wizard school simulator.
>>739355472
>>739375559Animal Crossing at home
>Only one mention of Witchbrook itthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWDGCwFZMbkIt's a Witch College life simulator that's coming out soon(?)
>>739365597I'm still fucking mad that Hogwarts Legacy didn't just do this. It would've been so kino.
>>739376051have they shown off any of the actual sim stuff yet?
>>739355818>Secret Agent Wizard Boyone of the few cases where I support unrealslop. The first three Harry Potter games' PC versions used Unreal Engine 1, SAWB uses Unreal Engine too, but a latter version.
>>739376349They have a dev blog that's gotten a few updates talking about shit you can do in the game.
>>739374429>>739373634I know this is /v/ and the collective IQ of this place is in the single digits but the point of that arc was that she was right, she just went about it in a stupid way.
>>739355472NWN2:MOTB
>>739356409Oblivion and Mororwind are better in that aspect. You can make your own spells in them.
>>739356560>Artificial AcademyNot enough guys.
>>739357814I was just about to say magical diary
>>739376349I do remember they remade the game from scratch at least once, possibly twice.
>>739358712Honestly, I wouldn't keep much. The main appeal of Harry Potter is the characters; the world-building (especially the magic) is catastrophic.The Hogwarts Castle concept itself is pretty viable as an expansive place of magic and wonders, so something like it would be a fine setting. And... that's it. Nothing else is salvageable.
>>739355472I liked the "school" section of Risen when going mage path.
>>73935575242% yourself already please
