How do you feel about picrel 3 years later?
It was a great game, but everyone saw one person call it 7/10 and then parroted it over and over again. Along with>ummm it should have had a companion system>ummm it should have had a morality system>ummm it should work like bullyetcMeanwhile the game sold tens of millions
dunno haven't played it in 3 years. it was okay back then. pretty run of the mill open world game with harry potter skin. maybe 6.5-7/10 if you ignore the license, if you're bigly in to harry potter then that boosts it to about 8/10
>>743724428It's a cool game to just shut your brain off and do magic or fly around.
>>743724428Good game if you're a huge Harry Potter fan.Pretty much shit for anyone else, though. It's generic open world slop (but very targeted IP open world slop, which is great if you like that IP)
>>743724428the real game was owning the troonsI wish Merula was in the gameI wish it had more RPG mechanicsI wish I could have a gf in the gameI wish i could grope the hippie herbology teacherI wish I could duel any student on campus or the townI wish the combat had a melee option like a magic energy blade outta your wand or somethnig
>>743724428I hope they find their new Dave for the sequel.
>>743724428What do you mean 3 years?
>>743725747This was 3 years agoSwitch was 9 years agoGTA5 was 13 years ago360 was 20 years ago
Too many loading screens and missed the entire point of a Hogwarts game. People want a sim you niggers. Completely fucking shut me up though on combat in the Potterverse. I never would have thought such a broken magic system like the one from Harry Potter would be able to pull off combat that good within its wonkey ass rule set. Hogwarts Legacy 2 should abandon realistic graphics, go animated like the illustrations for the books, go life sim, cut down on the constant loading screens.Also GET FUCKED TROONS.
It became a dog whistle for transphobia so I just lost interest
>>743724428I don't really care anymore. I only bought it because trans people told me not to.
>Revelio
>>743726386...in a game that has a trans character in it?I think this is the game that broke all the culture warriors on all sides and they just all got confused.
>>743725702that sucks. Rest In Peace DaveI still want Merula in the game just make an ancestor that looks exactly like her. Meorla or something.also more skills should be able to be casted from the start like the invisibility, and the lockpicking and anything that facilitates movement like the dashing magic spells should be able to be spammed with less cooldown
>>743725598Amazing how quickly people forgot about Merula
>>743724428It was a decent ubisoft clone with a hogwarts skin I guess. I expect more from the sequel.
>>743724428it's been 3 years? what the fuck
Everything outside the school was pointless. Hogwarts itself was neat and I enjoyed exploring it.
>>743726513>SIRona>trannies actually got happy for itFucking kek
tried to get into it twice but got bored
cons>boring visuals>brown people in 1800s scotland>trans bartender>boring explorationpros>okay character designs>okay story>okay gameplayi lost interest after 2-3 hours, just as the refund team planned
>>743724428Mediocre game unless you REALLY love Harry Potter, then its a 9/10 or 10/10. If I played this when I was reading Harry Potter for the first time I would've probably loved it.
>>743726543Eh have a game where the plot has time travel and basically two Hogwarts from different eras to explore.
>>743726547maybe because she was in a shitty mobile game and not in the forefront of a triple / double A game. Gamers like the goth or alternative punk rocker slytherin gf and thats a good character concept they should re-usethe rich posh blonde slytherin gf and bf for the female gamers is also a big sell for fans. There is a lot of archetypes they could be using and be striking at gold.
>>743726625Sirona Ryan
>>743726625there was a whole lot of fuss on "this is woke"/"this is not woke" nonsense due to other and content, and all kinds of people "wanting to show the other side by buying/not buying".when it's fucking harry potter. harry potter fans will buy it because it's harry potter. nobody is going to care if you buy or don't buy the ubisoft-style AAA open world game, it's harry potter, it sells regardless.stellar blade shows gamers are fine with sexy/chud (if the game's good). bg3 shows gamers are fine with some woke (if the game's good). normal people just want a good game.
>>743724428i played it for a bit but... i don't really like the harry potter stuff that much? there's a ton of mandatory cutscenes and minigames, it feels like fanservice. the actual game part is pretty thin
femanon thread
>>743726868at most there is just 1 and im dead seriousits all cock here
>>743724428I liked it, but there's a criminal lack of house-specific missions and activities. And Quidditch. But apparently >>743725702 was the actual reason for at least some of those missing features, so I'll give them some leeway. Here's hoping WB execs don't strangle the sequel in the crib with GaaS/microtransaction shit.
>>743724428it was ok
>>743724428The magic of this game fucking dies the moment you walk outside the castle and realize it's just like any other open world game. Holy fuck was it bad
>>743724428A lot of the quests felt like you were playing an MMOthe actual combat encounters and dungeons and whatnot were great though
>>743726891>at most there is just 1 and im dead serious>is just 1hey...
>>743726860a lot of enemies repeat that also sucked, basically all big dudes are ogres / trolls and all the small fucks are Goblin army. Needs way more enemy variety they can steal ideas from Elden Ring. That game has a ton of mobs with unique movesets.I dont see why Harry Potter couldnt have: living marrionetes, ghosts, griffons, dragons, wryvens, stone beasts that roll like sonic and tackle you, flying goblins in brooms, suicide goblins that blow themselves up, dullahans, bashees, dementors, colossal spiders (not desk size but like boulder size), sea creatures like mermen, living trees.Basically the same enemy variety in dark souls and elden ring can exist in harry poopooter.
>>743727096ywnbaw
how to get a hogwarts loving gf? what do they taste like?
>>743727226they stink GOOD
>>743727097i just don't think the fighting was a focus for the devs. if they had the time and money to add a half dozen enemy types, they would have spent it on more characters and more cutscenes. i don't think most people who buy harry potter - a children's book - are there for the combat.
>>743726891you need to pay for two seats
It had no gas chamber of secrets>no underground hogwarts dungeonsthat would have been so sick like a castle within a castle like in castlevania where you see the full map and it mirrors everything from top but below
Fuck the retard who made Alohomora being locked behind quests / collectible shit.
>>743727275she wouldnt mind some action while gaming
>>743727635true. all those spells should have been able to get got in the first like 3 hours of gameplay
>>743724428I get nostalgic to reinstall it just to walk/fly around the open world and castle and maybe kill some mooks, the ambience and music were amazing, otherwise it was a dumpsterfire. the game direction, lack of school activities and story were so unbelievably shit. also nearly everyone other than the herbology teacher looked like inbred and dysgenic.
>>743727980>looked like inbred and dysgeniclooked inbred*
>>743727980foids liked the potions teacher, somewhat. maybe he was too old head. foids like Snape more, an incel than the potions professor in Hogwarts Legacy.
>>743727635The alohomora thing is genuinely hilarious, you gradually unlock levels of this spell after completing one of the numerous unholy checklists, and then you can casually just open any door in the castle, all the way to the headmaster's bedroom and desk, without anyone stopping you. you can even "trespass" in the forbidden wing and go in the prefects' bath, which is forbidden and guarded by prefects for a grand total of just one quest.
wow its hogwarts in the dumbest timeline and you have no family also everyone video chats with you so you may as well just take your owl into the woods and let it fly away. congrats you got sorted into a house which is meaningless since you get the room of requirement isn't that amazing? have fun spamming revelio 14 trillion times!what an utterly shit game
>>743724565No anon. Its genuinely bare bones as fuck. People say Bully because it was a game that used the whole "at school" thing, with different classes that were minigames, and a curfew system that gave the whole day/night cycle thing have meaning. Not to mention that harry spends like 50% of the books in detention, and there's no consequences for misbehaving at school? Also it was a huge missed opportunity to not make house-specific content. You get your dormitory, but there is no reason to ever go back there except to turn in the tokens for that one chest. It was an alright game, but it really needed more stuff in it. It also goes to show how stupid WB is, since the game was a massive hit, but they never released any DLC, and last I heard they were trying to make the sequel into a live service game.
>>743728112>for a grand total of just one quest.Two quests. You're forgetting about the forced stealth section in the restricted section of the library.
>We've gotta own the troons/chuds by buying/boycotting this generic licensed open world game with blacks and trannies in 19th-century ScotlandOne of the most retarded culture wars I've ever seen
>>743728348troons still made a huge drama about it and it was lulzy. they even made a website to search if a streamer was streaming it so they could boycott the streamer lolfucking wild
>>743728348The whole rowling thing is such a clown show. All of a sudden the same people who spent years crying about gay dumbledore and black hermoine were calling her based because trannies were mad at her. And the whole reason she got on the bad side of trannies is because she objected to a serial rapist who had just been sentenced who wanted to be put in a women's jail because he identified as woman. Which doesn't seem controversial at all.
>>743724428I liked it for what it was. Map felt properly magical. Spells were good enough even if nothing like the source material. Story was cheesy nonsense but cmon what were you expecting. Lack of gooner mods is a notable downsideSolid 7/10, as in actual 7 and not ign scale 7
I got it for like $5 which was more than worth itI even had fun
ubi sloppa burnt me out from trying to 100%
>>743724428I still think it's dull and a wasted potential
>>743724428Kino
>>743729917It was nice just flying around the scottish highlands. I wish the various communities had more going on in them than one shop that only exists because you've got a limited inventory and 99% of everything is vendor trash.
>buying deislop to own the tranniesidgihow come the game had crazy sales, like 90% off? I thought that games which sell well don’t do those unless they spam DLC and use base game as sales funnel
>>743730170>how come the game had crazy sales, like 90% off?Because its three years old. Pretty much everything gets deep cuts over that time. Especially single player games. And it sold well on release so probably made its money back, and putting it on discount is just more sales to put on the board which is still a metric they track.
>>743724428The broom takes the game to a whole other level. It's the greatest way to travel an open world game.
>>743724428Solid 6/10. Not amazing, not offensively bad. Perfectly average. Pretty generic open world Arkham combat, but an absolutely immaculately detailed castle to bump it up from being a perfect 5/10.
>>743724428>Open world woke-slopTake a guess faggot
>>743724428The dark forest next to the school was kino
Did you give her the hat?
>>743731976No I love owning slaves
>yer a chosen one with special snowflake magic, Harry!
>>743724428It's decent, nothing to write home about, the main story is good, the side content is very hit or miss, Sebastian and Poppy's storylines are generally good but I despise Natsai and the Ravenclaw guy is such a massive afterthought.
It’s pretty funny how you’re beheading people with magical buzzsaws two weeks into your term as a 15yo student and nobody cares
>>743727275can you even blame her that it looks like shit? she's living in a bare concrete room that is 3rd world tier, of course it's gonna be dirty
>>743726843Funnily enough I didn't mind Sirona because if a tranny makes sense in any fandom it would be Harry Potter since there's actual magic to transform a person into their desired sex rather than weird medical butchery and compelled speech, plus there's really no emphasis put on him being a tranny at all and if he didn't have a man voice I wouldn't even have known.I have a bigger issue with the overabundance of non-whites at Hogwarts, if the game was set in current times I could buy it given the UK's suicidal obsession with importing third worlders but the game is set in the early 2'th century.
>>743732242Theres an onlyfans whore who had the perfect body, was top .09%, then got her tits cut off and her subs have been in free fall ever since, now shes beggin on even face book for subs, they always destroy themselves, give it 5 more years.
>>743731976Now I remember that questOh my fucking GOD did that go on for a while
>>743731976I wish I could hit her and Deek with my spells, it'd be hilarious.
>>743732289Dumb slut fell for the tranny meme and paid the price for her own attention-whore hubris.
>>743724428
>>743732242>set in the early 2'th century.19th century I thought.
>>743724428Not sure how far I got with it before I got too annoyed by weird hitching from Denuvo, but I spent a shockingly long time just dicking around the world doing shit.Last I remember, I unlocked the lockpick spells and unlocked the, uh, equipment tweaking mechanics? I don't know, it's been a while.Overall I really liked the game, but you really need to be a HP fan, or at least have read/watched HP prior, and I picked up on some stuff that only the really serious HP fans would get, which I'm sure got some grown men and women to gigglesquee over.Hogwarts was great, you can tell the whole game was built around it, both narratively and attention-wise in development, there's just so much shit in there.Combat was... fine. I kept feeling like it was "off" somehow, and turning the difficulty down from the hard setting helped. Dunno, never could find the right words for it. I know I hated how they bothered putting in RPG mechanics but never really fleshed them out right.I'm a huge sucker for the 9999999999999 secrets in a big open world thing, which this game tickled pretty well.Whatever, this post is kinda scrambled, I'm working off older memories of the game, I played it almost exclusively during a month-long period I subbed to PC Game Pass.I'll probably buy it on sale as long as there's no Denuvo and I'll dip into modding too while I'm at it, I'm sure some nutjob potterhead probably autistically increased the game's content and retweaked everything from scratch by now, my news app keeps giving me clickbait about the game and half the time it's "BIG UPDATE FOR HOGWARTS LEGACY: MASSIVE CONTENT" and said article isn't about the game, it's about some huge content mod some guy made.
>>743724428Pretty good castle and hogsmeade, not enough "school quests", too much "fly there and do X/kill X amount of ennemies", boring fucking map outside of the areas previously mentioned, writing you have to ignore or the world just doesn't work....Azkaban quest only available to Hufflepuffs (which could be fine if it wasn't the only quest in the game tied to a specific house)It's good, but not a dram over thatIt's just made for flying around Hogwarts and getting screenshots
>>743726906To (you) and all the people asking for quidditch - why? What's so exciting about the game? What are you expecting to see gameplay-wise? Choosing a specific position to play, and then trying to win somehow?>KeeperStay around the goal hoops all the time, react to the Quaffel (sounds riveting af)>ChaserPretty much FIFA but with 3D movement, and dodging tackling rivals as well as Bludgers>BeaterProbably lots of fun sniping enemy players and defending yours, but ultimately you'd rely on your teammates to actually score and win the game - unless you're in for a slog of killing of all the opponents I guess>SeekerI dare the devs to make it about actually finding the snitch yourself - no tracking rings to fly through, no magical golden trace to follow; only you and maybe reacting to what the enemy seeker doesAssuming the player goes in hoping to win, how do you make this fun? Other than sweating your balls off as a chaser or finishing the game fast as a seeker (see notes about making seeker gameplay interesting instead of a silly little minigame), you'd have to rely on AI teammates or scripted events to win either the game or, ultimately, the quidditch cup at the end of the year. And points aside, playing non-Seeker and waiting for the AI Seekers to actually end the game sounds absolutely insane (bonus points for RNG rival Seeker ending the game in 5s flat).
Should replay it now when DLSS ray reconstruction has gotten better, update next month
I find it genuinely fucking hilarious that retards and turd world shitskins shilled the fuck out of this generic pozzed turd because they were told it would "own da troons" (despite featuring tranny worship)People pretending the crusty feminist witch J.K Rowling is some based alt-right mommy was equally hilarious, never saw such heavy delusion before (excluding transgenders)
>>743724428Boring ubishit
Probably wouldn't replay it in full, unless there are mods to basically skip the whole Ubisoft towers part of the gameplay
>>743724428I don't care since I never got into HP. I do find it funny they went out of their way to pander to the woke crowd only to get treated like it was some alt-right nazi simulator by them to the point where they harassed streamers for playing it. It really showed they were the "good guys"!
story is kinda absurd too, with forbidden spells and actual attempted murder by a student (to which you're an accomplice), neither of which get addressed
>>743732783best girl spotted
>>743724428Great gameplay when you're using all your spells instead of just spamming lmb and the same 4 spells while dodge rolling
>story's fine>some of the side stories are amazing (Sebastian quests are top tier)>combat's fun if you're into cooldown-based spamming>the open world is pointless, as open worlds in AAA games so often are>not enough of it is set in the school>colored rarity loot can fuck off
This turd fully convinced me that the industry has some sort of "Generic Action RPG That Can Also Be Live Service" reusable template lying around. Anything you expect from AAA westoid turds, it's there.
Looking back on the screenshots' is making me kinda nostalgic, so I'll give it that too>>743733337>colored rarity loot can fuck offIt absolutely can Also the whole "make your own room and raise your own magical creatures shit", I didn't care even a little bit and they kept rubbing it in my face
>>743733497>Also the whole "make your own room and raise your own magical creatures shit"I considered putting that on my list but decorating your home base is something I never care about in any game so it's really neither positive nor negative. I'm sure there's retards who go wild for it
>>743733497Putting in magical creatures disregarding that you're experiencing the wizarding world years before Scamander's work (his research and influence had made the critters popular and more understood in the first place) is retarded. Wizards should be killing them on sight, treating them as pests not wholesome whimsical companions. This felt like a checkbox, one of the "what will players expect to see in a Hogwarts game" things
>>743733590Holy fuck, imagine if it had a side plot where you constantly work to make Hogwarts safe by taking down griffons and shit. That would be kino. Though I guess anyone who is actually a fan of the franchise would be whining about it
>>743724428zenobia...
>>743733590It doesn't really seem to follow the internal logic of the HP world closely as mentioned, you can just use so called "forbidden" magic, and you don't even get a little message to say that your karma's going down or whateverEven though really you'd at least be expelled, at worst sent to juvie
>>743733626You get the opposite, poachers being portrayed as the evilest of evil men, on par (and working along) with dark magician
>>743732783>not enough "school quests", too much "fly there and do X/kill X amount of ennemies"This was really odd, you’re going to lessons and collecting magical rocks for some 12yo kid and 10 minutes later you’re murdering a war camp full of goblins and dark wizards that are minutes away from a chindren’s schoolthere’s only so much "duh its a video game" handwaving before the suspension of disbelief breaks
crazy how there are basically no secret rooms or passages in the castle beside the puzzle rooms
>>743733871but you do get a doomed yaoi storyline with Sebastian...in which you cannot influence him at all
>>743724428>3 yearsThe gay faggotry in this world kept us so distracted we didn't realize time passed byThanks kike boomers
It was fun but could have been way better. Not bad for the studios first game I guess.
>>743724428Castle was great.Ubishit minigames were a pointless chore Atmosphere in general was pretty goodHad some very obviously cut content that would have made it a deeper game.Overall a pretty solid 6-8/10 depending on your personal preferences, with the lolcow seethe it generated being a nice addition.
>>743724428death to goblins
Anyone know if there are good mods for the game?Non-coomer stuff to help with immersion or replayability
>>743724428i enjoyed harry potter as a kid and i still do, the game could have been better but i could say that about all gamesi didn't 100% but i got very close, only missing some breeding achievements and collectibles, did this twice lol
>>743733678It's really shallow in that regard, more of a joy ride or a Pottermore amusement ride than something with essence and meaning. Something like a kid dressed as a jedi who gets to slap around the Empire/NO staff in Disneyland, everybody will bend themselves backward to satisfy the child
>>743726625I had a discussion with you about it and you just dropped all your talking points and went just "epic troll mode".
this is 3 years old? fuck
>>743733959looked into it, it's basically just>the mod for students and teachers schedules>the mod to change seasons and decorations>the mod that adds a few more spellsI remember getting under the map to go into other houses' dorms
>>743734818meant for >>743734378
Exactly the same.
>>743734546I didn't discuss with anyone here, pal. Your boogeyman is in another castle.
>>743726753She was forgotten in the general of HP games too.
Aren't they making a Hogwarts Legacy 2? It'd be neat if we could actually explore more of the world or go to more places. I'm not really sure how they could expand on combat and other mechanics because I thought Hogwarts Legacy did everything pretty well with the houses, common rooms, classes, etc. I just don't know how you really expand upon or improve it. They could add new spells, I guess? And make the map larger, but that would be about it. There would be no reason to really change Hogwarts aesthetics, even if the game took place in a more modern setting/older setting. We had the killing curses in Hogwarts Legacy as well, plus a fucking decoration mechanic for own personal hideout with an animal care center. The game had a lot of shit you could do in it and customize.
>>743732471And they insist they are not mentally ill and that's not some obsession.
>>743724428fine just playing it normally, 100% is a bigger chore than getting all feathers in AC2, casting spells with voice mod was cool when it worked but felt like a retard screaming abra kadabra alazakam like voldemort off cooldown
>>743726678No. If you really love Harry Potter it becomes even worse. The more of an outsider normie who only likes the movies on a surface level and hasn't even read the books, the more you'll like it and forgive it for being a ubisoft clone half assets project. If you actually care about Harry Potter it is much more dissapointing that they didn't put in any effort into it other than surface level stuff like the graphics and "just go around killing people"
>>743736457when I finished the game I realized I didn't even do a single of the hedge mazes collectible/activity thingsI'd done all the others so I don't know how I missed that (but at that point I didn't want to bother myself any further)
Is it worth a buy? Got it for 5 bucks or is it onr of those games where you need all the DLC to enjoy?
I enjoyed it but it has a lot of room for improvement. They need to make it a proper RPG and ditch 90% of the pointless open world map.
>>743729093>And the whole reason she got on the bad side of trannies is because she objected to a serial rapist who had just been sentenced who wanted to be put in a women's jail because he identified as woman. Which doesn't seem controversial at all.That wasn't the only reason. She's explicitly against the whole ideology for a multitude of sensible reasons, because gender ideology is completely fucking ludicrous cultish insanity, and society embracing it infringes of the privacy rights and safety of women and little girls. And the brainwashing leads to the mutilation of thousands of what are otherwise perfectly normal developing bodies. And it is a direct assault on language, which understandably would be a problem for any writer with a smidgin of integrity.
>>743732893This game was fun but holy fuck was it easy and holy shit did it take forever to win the world cup. Quidditch game can work but the sport needs refinement. Allowing magic during the game would make it so much less tedious.
>>743724428It was a disappointing 7/10. They could have gone hard into the being-a-student-at-hogwarts dream but just didn't so you wound up with a decent shell that had no heart.
>>743737185Yeah, but that is where the kerfuffle kicked off.
>>743736751the hedgemazes would fucking rape my framerate even with RT off, hated them
It seemed pretty cool, but to be quite frank I can't be arsed to revisit my lost love for Harry Potter for the rest of my life.
>>743724428I played it for 1 hour, examined Hogwarts for a bit and bounced. Didn't really play it. I might some day.
>>743724428It was pretty fun.Fairly decent amount of customization for your wizard.Interacting with classmates was neat, exploring the castle and the wild lands surrounding it was excellent.Combat was serviceable, although the balance around forbidden spells could REALLY be adjusted. You had this nice, almost rock paper scissors thing going on then forbidden track just NUKES everything.Not a fan of the challenge based leveling system, getting max level is a pain in the ass.Game could use a better class system. Instead of them just being essentially mission markers. A lack of curfew system also seemed like a missed opportunity.Should have kept in the companion adventuring system or added co-op. No idea why it was cut.Quiditch would have been great or at least some form of long term side quest / content that takes place over the year.I'll play 2 when it comes out.Sex with Zenobia.
Combat is fun but the story characters and exploration aren't very engaging. Once you get over the harry potter whimsical vibe it gets a bit bland.
>>743724428everything outside of Hogwarts is boringunfortunately that's 80% of the game
>>743724428>haha you all use wands here?>we had no need of those where I'm from
>>743728112The stupid thing about it is that as soon as you unlock it you can just immediately level it up to max (and you'd have to be stupid not to do so) so there's literally zero reason for it to have 3 "levels" to unlock.
>>743730170When a game sells 30+ million copies it means basically everyone but the biggest cheapskates has already bought it so they can do deep discounts to get those cheapskates without losing out on anything because everyone else already bought it.
>>743732242I don't have a problem with people genderswapping in scifi/fantasy settings but Sirona is really on the nose (but not quite as bad as Claire in CP77) for a couple of reasons. To start with, the VA is REALLY bad and not just really bad but also recorded bad. It's like they just hired the first tranny they could find on fiverr and recorded all the dialog in one take over a Zoom call or something. That combined with trying to make Sirona the "Hagrid" of the game aka the character everyone loves and relies on and goes to for advice etc. while also being so powerful that even one of the main villains gets intimidated. But still, not as bad as Claire in CP77 if you use the mod an anon made to replace the voice with an AI voice that sounds better. It just feels like a sloppy reaction to the "controversy" which didn't even work to appease loud twitter trannies anyway. 80% of the school and countryside being some flavour of brown was dumb too though and completely undermines Natsai's character concept as a foreign transfer student.
>>743730170No, I bought the "deislop" because it looked like a neat game, and it was. Also, having crazy sales means more people will play it and get hyped for the sequel. I bought it on one of those sales.
>>743724428they really crafted a whole hogwart's then said lets make 90% of the game fighting through goblin caves like some generic action adventure game.
>>743738778I really fucking wish we had more to explore in Hogwartsthere's a few missions where you go in tunnels beneath, but there's just not enough of those, when there should be secret passages everywhere
>>743732635>turning the difficulty down from the hard setting helped.The "hard" difficulty in this game is actually just normal mode. This isn't even an elitism thing. "Hard" is the only difficulty that actually has all combat mechanics turned on. "Normal" turns off some mechanics because it's actually just easy mode renamed "Normal" and the real normal mode was renamed "Hard" because they really had low expectations for the type of person to play Harry Potter games I guess.
>>743733546It would be fine if you could just ignore it but you have to do it to upgrade your shitty diablo loot.
>>743724428way too many collectibles and useless time wasting shitotherwise decent
>>743724428It was alright, nice looking game tho. The whole controversy, I get it. I think JK's a retard too that seethe over trans people 24/7. But i was amused over it being said it'd kill Trans people, and received some friendly fire from their own saying that they were going to play it too. Completely backfired, like the thing where they were supposed to make a list of people that played the game like it would actually have some negative social impact. Yeah, Harry Potter is poorly written garbage, but I grew up with it too. Im fucking 36 and still get misty eyed hearing "hedwigs theme".
I enjoyed it but I can’t remember a single thing. There was this AssCreed style room I think
>>743724428it made troons seethe so i respect it. it made it obvious that most people don't care about troons and their problems, because a lot of people bought the game without having any idea about the JK row;ing situation.
>>743734378There's a mod to make the herbalist teacher naked, which is very tasteful and immersive
>>743739545Well... It's only naturalBig naturals, even
>>743732242>Funnily enough I didn't mind Sirona because if a tranny makes sense in any fandom it would be Harry Potter since there's actual magic to transform a person into their desired sex rather than weird medical butchery and compelled speechyet that's not what they did. if a tranny could magically transform into a woman in body and mind, they wouldn't really be a tranny. as it is, it seems to imply that Mr. Ryan is a tranny in the modern sense. Nobody willingly wants to be a tranny unless they're only doing it for victim points and attention. I would assume they'd rather be the biological sex they want to be instead of some frankenstein almalgamation.
>>743737491There's a lot of customization options, but I found that none looked really good in context, I just kept dressing in house colours and a cape until the end of the gameThere were soooo many horribly ugly headpieces and glasses though, holy shit
>>743737491>You had this nice, almost rock paper scissors thing going on then forbidden track just NUKES everything.I never even got the forbidden spells I just turned the room of requirement into a meth lab and destroyed everything with the OP as fuck consumables skill tree
>>743724428A friend got it on sale and played it for two days and said it's just the same thing over and over again. That how I feel about it currently
>>743724565It was bland enough to be 8/10 but a solid fun 8/10 with an amazing “tutorial” first half with Hogwarts and hogsmeade. But the overall polish of it and the excellent systems push it to 9/10. What stops it from 10 is the bland main story, and muted bland features like what can you really do with your pet magical creatures and if you max out your stuff it doesn’t really affect the end game after 80% completion but completion fags ignore two things:1) It’s designed for kids and potter retards who don’t know how to 100% so it’s more about presenting opportunities to do something cool at any point you find yourself on the map. It’s for retards that don’t get open world games and treat the world sandbox like a doll house to randomly play in. That said at least 80% of the open world is solid puzzles with local story context built around side quest and main quest zones2) the game is polished and pleasant to play, relaxing and even fun at full combat powers, with good music and atmosphere, meaning that you can do 100% just to chillShitty main story dungeons and so forth keep it from 10/10, and I suppose they should have had more of a student/grades/house cup role play, with a longer story at Hogwarts itself but that’s another way of saying the main story sucked
>>743737119>Is it worth a buy? Got it for 5 bucksFor $5, sureDLC are mostly cosmetics, you can ignore em
>start game>9/10 character presets are Ethiopian kidsI uninstalled it after that.
>>743725702>tragic airplane accidentsthe troons went too far
>>743724428Pretty solid ubislop adjacent game. Pros>Hogwarts itself was really cool>Flying was fun>Character Customization >Some memorable charactersCons>A lot of the overworld was lame>Same shallow events over and over>Lots of out of place minigames >Mediocre story with underwhelming level design>Gating story content to platforms
>>743726120My concept for 2 is Deus Ex Mankind divided Prague area imsim. Hogwarts is the tutorial and becomes a place to return to to advance the story.London environs plus Diagon alley is the first half and Paris is the second. Small imsim/Dishonered style mission levels at beuxbatons etc.The new system I imagined was three combat styles: creatures, spells, potions. Like classes, but these correspond to easy medium hard.The creatures simply have to be cared for like repeat training tasks. But then what they do is solve the imsim open world zone (a place with day night cycle and related routines of characters) on yiur behalf. Stalk people, steal things, unlock doors. Trial and error with creatures on the world.Spells is more complicated. Instead of the first game system, all spells are red, yellow or purple. The actual spells are just contextually triggered automatically you just pick from four categories. However this combat simplification is matched by a spell learning and stacking menu system. You basically can program combos and some of these produce specific bonus effects if executed. This is how you combine a search and mind guard lower spell to steal someone’s memory. Actually thays a big too much for this level. More like unlock and pull will get items out of cabinets.Potions is the most advanced. It’s almost entirely dependent on the imsim and getting an awareness of routines and entirely poisoning NPCs to produce the desired effect or use rare ingredients and hidden forumulae to get access to a potion that boosts combat for that one boss you just can’t beat without combat skills.So the creatures player just does busywork then experiments and automatically gets the reward. The creatures even fight for you.Spells have to understand context and puzzle solve and be dexterous.Potions is ultimate hard mode.You have the level 1 of all three then pick 2 to go to the mid level, then only one path for the advanced skills
>>743724428it was on sale for 5 bucks once when I was snowed in. I don't think I finished more than 4 or 5 missions before I got bored and deleted it
why is there no coomer mods
>>743742054they're probably hidden on some obscure website because mainstream mod websites are craven
>>743725598>Owning the troons by buying a game with a troon in itkek. I don't know why they hated it so much when it panders to them so aggressively.
>>743739275>I think JK's a retard too that seethe over trans people 24/7.Hey retard, explain to me why all 4 billion women on planet Earth are morally obligated to second guess their levels of discomfort when a strange man wearing a skirt and lipstick demands on his right to enter and use their locker rooms at will, regardless of circumstance? Then explain exactly why all the mothers and fathers of planet Earth are morally obligated to suppress their natural suspicions when that same man insists on his right to shower next to their 12 y.o. daughter at the local public pool.It's always a bait-and-switch or a total misrepresentation with you cultist retards. Because BULLSHIT is all you have swirling inside your retarded brains.
>>743724428insanely boring game dropped it after afew hours
>>743742054Found them https://aqxaromods.com/hogwarts-legacy/mods18hl/
>>743724428its a fun game i had a lot of fun playing it (for free thanks Empress!) I am not that big into harry potter but i dont think you have to be to enjoy this. the combat is surprisingly fun
>>743724565>1600x900lower your tone when you speak to me laptop fag
>>743745665>the combat is surprisingly funUnless you do something weird like (gasp) go exploring and suddenly Random Spider (lv20) is more resilient than a yuge troll you just beat
>>743747060Well to be fair, why would you explore when there's nothing to see
>>743731976Anyone else keep her around at the shop and every time you sell shit there, she just stands there chewing with her mouth open on repeat like a fucking savage?
>>743744641Mods of questionable morality
Regret buying it desu. Combat is way, way more basic and simple than trailers/gameplay demos would've lead you to believe and it's a very shallow game otherwise. I played it for 10-15 hours and dropped it because it was so boring and haven't played it once since.
>>743724428>How do you feel about picrel 3 years later?I own it and still haven't played it. I'll give it a go in the autumn, I feel thats the right time of year for HP shit.
>>743724565And those people aren't wrong, what the fucks the sales got to do those things? Weird tranny.
>>743725702>we left out things because uhhh person diedWhat a freak creep excuse
>talk to this person >talk to that person>walk to this empty location >then talk to this personZZZZZZzzzzz
>>743749158Comfiest season in game too
>>743742054there are. troons go out of their way to find and report all of them with the hopes that it will prevent anybody from wanting to play it.
>>743749753Sure it's not because the characters are basically all high schooler in a realistic artstyle?
>>743724428Hogwarts Legacy was aesthetically well-designed to push sales, but it's just a thoroughly terrible game because nothing about it is good. Its defenders will push back on any individual issue saying it's "fine," and they're sort of right in that almost any individual component would be acceptable if it was the worst part of an otherwise great game, but it's EVERY SINGLE THING that's like this. The magic is "fine." The flying is "fine." The leveling system is "fine." The story is "fine" (as long as you skip or tune out every cutscene and dialogue exchange). And so on and so on. But they're all well below average, and there's just not a single good part of the game to weigh any of it against. You can't call a game like that anything but an unacceptable failure.
>>743732391>Deek
>>743745743laptops are 1920x1080 nowadays, grandpa
>>743742054Setting aside the obvious reason regarding half the characters, there's not a single appealing character in this game other than maybe Professor Garlick. (Or maybe Sebastian if you swing that way.) The game is tremendously asexual.
>>743724428UE5 Slop with anti-soul gas
>>743751517I like Poppy (the poachers' girl), she kinda looks like my first gf
>>743724428the middest of the mid Neat visuals and the school, yet no dark magic til the game is almost finished, nothing to do in the world, romance is absent, hogwarts is full of niggers and jeets, combat is too easy, fucking puzzles (if you enjoy placing cubes in a correct order you're an autist).
>>743724428woketrash
>>743724428It's okay.Only way to make the story center on a Slytherin Stacey that goes around cruccio'ing first graders, which is what the books should have done.
>>743724428I got it for free on epic and literally never played it. sad!
>>743724428Needed to flesh out the school part. Exploring Hogwarts itself was fun.
>>743724428I like that the killing spell just fucking kills everything and isn't nerfed in some way except on some multiple health-bar bosses
>>743754962How about a Hufflepuff girl that pees herself because the nearest bathroom's always a mile of corridors away?
>>743755714Hufflecucks are nerds that exist to do the homework of the other three houses
>>743755714>weird fetish shit in a game for children
