Hogwarts Legacy | Review Thread

Oddly enough there is no real big story or controversy other than the mods don't like Avatar and are on a power trip of silencing conversation on a entertainment project because they can… that's the only real connection here, I'm probably getting off topic. Here's the best write up I could google.

Perhaps they were mad that it appropriated Smurf culture?
 
as a 50% Native American, basically fuck all these whiners crying about being harmed by a game.

My people suffered literal genocide and we don't cry like these utter fools.

"If you buy this, you at the very best don't care about trans people's feelings".

Correct, mother fucker! Wand go Brrrrrr!
 
Never read the books. Watched all the movies at least once and thought they were good. Not a Harry Potter fan per se, but this looks like it might be worth picking up.
 
I also dont pay much attention to popular culture in general. What unspeakable things did JK Rowling say and what anti trans legislation is she backing?

She has repeatedly raised concerns over the ability of biological males to be allowed entry into women's spaces, due to the prospect of abusive males taking advantage to predate on women.

She has also complained about the way the word 'woman' is being marginalised in public communications.

She has also said that men cannot change biological sex to become female.

She has not at any stage issued what would be considered by any court of law, other legal entity, or person viewing from an objective standpoint, to be hate speech against the trans community.

I see they closed the "What are you buying this month thread" because too many people mentioned buying it. Totally reasonable thing to do. Doesn't seem unhinged in the least tbqh.

This is basically me. A light-hearted open world romp that has more soul than an Assassins Creed game? Yup, sounds pretty good for Feb.
 
I don't think trans people hate JKR for her presumably anti-trans agenda more than me who hates her for her feminists agenda, but I still bought the game.

But it's still so delicious how the streisand effect backfires hard as hell.

Yeah....no doubt I'm getting the PC version after watching that.

So the PC version is the best? I thought rofif rofif was saying it's gimped but it looks like it isn't..

Sometimes I'm not sure what to believe with him when it comes to PC. I saw the ps5 version earlier and it was chugging hard with crazy pop in. I'm hoping the consolemisnt that bad and a day one patch can fix it.

If its steam deck compatible I'm buying the PC version right now lol.
 
It's got about the normal number of reviews on Metacritic you'd see at this point after a embargo lift on other fairly big game releases, so I don't think it's that pervasive.

No way. There is a clear effort to not engage with this title. Like the right of a site, but in no way does a game of this size have 50 reviews after embargo. Already mentioned up thread, but freaking Spongebob has more reviews.

Now, that COULD be because WB Games was controlling access if the Kinda Funny story is true.
 
Way better scores than I would have imagined. The entire discourse around Jk Rowling and this game is stupid as hell. A lot of devs worked on this game that aren't being shunned the way she is, so why the hell aren't they being respected? They deserve the great success and shouldn't be punished because people have beef with one person.

It is already Steam Deck verified. I'm buying the PC version after seeing all those console modes that are 30 or 40 fps. I thought about getting PS5 for platinum, but I can always do another playthrough later for that. For this game, I want the best visuals and frame rate I can get. That's PC.

Best between PS5 and XSX versions is probably negligible as always.

I was only commenting on the video posted few pages back or in other topic where it really chugged and stuttered.
I am waiting for proper pc reviews myself
 
The game seems pretty good technically

Probably will start with quality mode on series X for the crisp 4k image. And swap to 60 fps if 30 starts bothering me. I dont have a 120hz display so the 40 hz doesnt do anything for me. And I don't want to add ray tracing for 30 fps with a low pixel resolution.

I'm praying that the PC version is at least playable. These reports about 40fps/1440p ultra on a 3080 are causing me too much worry.

No....you're not fucking "haunted" by JK Rowling. What an asshole
 
Devs must be so happy they successfully transition to a premier AAA studio.
Look at Bend studios with Days Gone, Ubisoft India with that Prince of Persia Remake, its not easy to get here folks.
 
The first one before it got locked due to all the people saying they were simply buying Hogwarts Legacy:

So funny.

I mean, the trouble for them is that they're in 'finger in the dam' territory with this one....they'll have to monitor every single thread on there pretty much constantly. next they'll have to close any thread about charts of top selling games on all the platforms, probably for months. same with 'what should I buy' topics. Then it'll be any mention of when it goes on sales, you probably have DLC coming further down the line too, and of course the end of year awards...they might have to not cover most of the major gaming events of 2023. :messenger_beaming:

At least the kid in the playground only has to put fingers in his ears and go 'la la la'. I bet even Sisyphus would chuckle at their task.

Here is the PC section the video above.



Keep in mind, this doesn't have the game day drivers yet.

Sweet it's on cd keys so I might just buy a code...but it says Europe and na I need a UK digital deluxe code.
