Got my ass handed to me in the first real solo combat. Had to leave after that so couldnt test it more...

Does anyone else get some kind of delay when attacking? Like can you only fire like 3 blasts then it delays? Was I expecting to much to just keep tapping attack (PS5) and just shoot a blast like a FPS or something?

Can you change the difficulty?

 

[D23]

im a huge Harry Potter fan and this game is legit. I cant stop smiling playing it

 

[Agent_Nobody]

Can you change the difficulty?

Yes.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

it's taking every fibre of my being not to just buy the deluxe on the PlayStation store… I want to play this on PC if the port ends up being great post patch, I'm not convinced though.

Fuck sake, first world problems. Probably just end up buying it on PlayStation so I can play later this evening…

 

[Dave_6]

Anxiously awaiting PC impressions. Is there going to be a PC performance thread?

 

[SCB3]

Wow, imagine being so bothered by seeing black and brown people in your fantasy wizard simulator game

Spoiler

j/k yeah it can be a bit much but I tend to give something a pass if it's a children's story… as long as they don't like, make all the bad guys white, and all the minorities super sympathetic and likeable

Yea its a minor thing just something I noticed

 

[HotSauceEnema]

just a heads up, the twitch streams are up with exclusive item drops. This one from the developers is the best one since it gets you another exclusive item, merlins robes:

just make sure youre connected here first https://www.hogwartslegacy.com/en-us/twitch-drops

 

[MirageMew2]

I'm afew hours in now and I realised something, the amount of diversity is a little off-putting compared to the books/films, theres a bit too much if that makes sense, almost as if when everyone is a minority, are they even a minority anymore? For whats supposed to be 1800's England, its kinda out of place

but whatever Wizards....

You watch the films recently? Many of the supporting Gryffindor cast were minorities.

Anxiously awaiting PC impressions. Is there going to be a PC performance thread?

Hope so. Note, no Nvidia game-ready driver yet.

 

[f@luS]

is balanced mode using quality or performance preset ?
If it's using the same presets as performance , I'll better get 60fps. If it's using the quality one at 40fps it may be a good deal

 

[Dave_6]

Hope so. Note, no Nvidia game-ready driver yet.

I probably won't buy it today as I've got a couple other games to finish up, so maybe by then there will be solid impressions and new drivers.

 

[ManaByte]

Hope so. Note, no Nvidia game-ready driver yet.

Nvidia is afraid.

 

[GHG]

Anxiously awaiting PC impressions. Is there going to be a PC performance thread?

Pre-loading now but don't anticipate any issues on my rig.

Hope so. Note, no Nvidia game-ready driver yet.

It is odd that a game with DLSS support doesn't have a specific driver yet.

 

[Krathoon]

It looks like you can get extra stuff if you link up with Wizarding World. Really, the PS5 version is kind of the better version of the game because you get extra stuff.

 

[ryan299]

Twitch numbers are huge for this game.

 

[PlayedStation]

Oh yeah, of course twitch numbers are especially huge right now. A lot of people won't play until Friday, or even later if they are on... *shudders* last gen consoles.

 

[Krathoon]

We will see if that PC version can be hacked to unlock the PS5 exclusive quest. It depends if it is included and just locked off.

 

[Krathoon]

The Wizarding World website seems to be overloaded.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

PC is about to unlock. Good luck, early access PC master race chads!

I wonder when Nvidia plans on releasing their damn driver for this game lol

 

[MMaRsu]

Steam unlock???

 

[TrebleShot]

Lol seems steam has borked the launch

 

[FoxMcChief]

Remember when GotY contenders used to release in November?

 

[nikos]

Same thing happens with pretty much every Steam launch. It can take a few minutes after the designated time.

 

[MMaRsu]

STEAM HURRY THE FUCK UP IT STILL SAYS APP IS NOT RELEASED ARGHJGGJONSG"DKL:MS"PKDJNG{OIS"DKNMG

wouldn't surprise me if it didn't come out til Friday

Regardless of impressions I'm probably going to end up waiting for the driver.....it just seems to be the safe bet.

[Bruno_Arrais85]

1 Million viewers on Twitch right now. Haters need to hate HARDER

 

[nikos]

Nothing here yet. Tempted to delete and redownload but I'm not sure if it will download the actual game or the preload/encrypted version.

 

[TrebleShot]

restart steam guys. mine is unlocked and decrypting

nope restarted both steam and PC multiple times. PS5 it is. Lol what a farce.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Welp, no unlock here.

 

[Krathoon]

I restarted and no unlock. Come on Valve.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

I restarted and no unlock. Come on Valve.

Same same

 

[saintjules]

The first scene is pretty nice. Best gameplay sequence I've seen by far.

 

[MMaRsu]

restart steam guys. mine is unlocked and decrypting

Nope that didnt work at all, did you buy directly via Steam or buy a code?

 

[Krathoon]

The Wizarding World website is also hanging. You would think they prepared for this.

 

[phant0m]

direct via steam last week when it was apparent the game was gonna be pretty good lol

 

[MMaRsu]

I think it might be the issue. People with codes arent getting in I think, my cousin bought it directly from Steam and hes in too. FML

 

[Fools idol]

some of the locations in the game are jaw droppers. It isn't like the game is some graphical powerhouse but the level of detail and atmosphere here is top tier. It's up there with Souls games once you get out and explode properly.

 

[Krathoon]

I check my license and it is digital deluxe. Soo, Valve crapped the bed.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Sucks that some are having issues. This is a huge release. Maybe Valve just wasn't ready.

 

[Irobot82]

I think it might be the issue. People with codes arent getting in I think, my cousin bought it directly from Steam and hes in too. FML

Same, I got a code and I am not in.

 

[Agent_Nobody]

Just to make people's starting house choice a little bit easier, here is clear video evidence that Hufflepuff is way better than Slytherin:



PS: and oh yeah and our house common room is literally inside a beer keg.

 

[nikos]

Supposedly the issue is on WBGames' end.

 

[nikos]

1.1 MILLION viewers on twitch alone right now. Launch is huge.

 

[f~N_CH_1:3:3:3_SushiBoat]

Wife and I will be picking up an X and a copy this weekend. Not the biggiest potter fan, while the wife is a fucking potter historian. Looks fun as hell. Co worker this morning got a few hours in last night; said its super rich and enjoyable.

Oh, and who's got 300+ hours of PTO? THIS GUY.

 

[Gordon Freeman]

I'm in the boat of deluxe edition but no unlock yet.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

1.1 MILLION viewers on twitch alone right now. Launch is huge.

The best thing is... the launch is on Friday. This game is/will be massive.

 

[MMaRsu]

Please let me play
