Look, nothing would bring me more joy than going round and round with you all day, but while you're chiding another site about banning talk, you're posting on a forum that bans politics - which is fine btw, but *psst* the term "fascist" is pretty political - so I'm just going to guess your problem with all this isn't free speech, just a guess.

Huh? Why respond again just to tell me you can’t go round and round with me?

Also - nice try, but you’ll never convince me that leaving politics outside is equivalent to the other place. Ain’t happening, and not discussing further. Agree to disagree.

 

[Topher]

@DynamiteToadie got a permanent ban

 

[DeepEnigma]

I'm consistently against hyperbolic terms used against anyone to make a point

I agree with that. But again, who the hell cares when it comes to those mental cases. They won't ever be reasoned with.

 

[Kacho]

And goodbye.

Thank god.. lol

 

[AlexxKidd]

I like Girlfriend Reviews, but Matt, her partner, has basically been hating on this game since Day 1. Not even the political side of things, but just in the "there's no way this game can actually be good I understand video games and just everything looks off and bad" kind of way. Then the good reviews come out and he's immediately saying there's still no way it's actually a good game. How are they ever going to enjoy the game if that's the mindset you go into it?

And yea their fanbase seems to be on the farther left/politically conscious side, so of course they're going to get shit. It's all just so embarrassing

The fuck is she crying about? That'd only make me want to play more. Stop bowing to these zealots cause that's all they want. Grow some balls, woman. No pun intended.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

That's it for now. Game has to fully download to let me into the Hogwarts castle.

What a tease.

 

[V1LÆM]

a lot of the Re mob are going to try come here to talk about the game. Already seen a lot of new accounts or accounts that have hardly posted.

Come here to talk about the game if you want. Don't start any shite. Hope the mods are ready to deal with them all.

 

[Topher]

That's it for now. Game has to fully download to let me into the Hogwarts castle.

What a tease.

Is that on PC?

 

[Joel Was Right]

Quick question:

I purchased and am now downloading the Deluxe Edition. But how do I download the exclusive content?

 

[Luipadre]

Is that on PC?

"has to be fully download" probably ps5

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Is that on PC?

Series S.

 

[usp84]

Saw earlier today someone with a 4090 playing it completely maxed out at 4K with RTX and they were getting 40-45fps. With DLSS3 on it was around 100fps.

4K 60fps maxed out is looking like you need a 4000 card or a 3090/3090 Ti. If you have a weaker card you're going to need to turn RTX off and maybe lower other settings.

Not sure about 1080/1440p.

Oh i am nowhere close to those specs, i have a 5700XT and playing @1080p but i am kind of scared buying a game day 1 on PC.I should be good but you never know

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It is done. Got the Deluxe on Steam. Shame you can't pre-load yet. Paid 55 so I'm great with the purchase.

 

[Senua]

That's it for now. Game has to fully download to let me into the Hogwarts castle.

brilliant atmosphere!

 

[Ghost23]

Oh grow up and have some empathy, she's allowed to be upset and it's clearly taking a toll on her. She doesn't deserve the hate

 

[Kacho]

Damn that looks fantasic.

Also this is a legendary thread. 11/10

 

[V1LÆM]

For whatever it's worth the official PC specs say a 5700XT will do 1080p 60fps with High settings. That's with an i7-8700 or Ryzen 3600 and 16GB RAM.

 

[Gudji]

Ah yes, Laura Kate Dale, the epitome of sanity.

 

[ikbalCO]

As a guilty pleasure, aaaallll you guys should watch kinda funny's hl reviews round up show.

They are so bitter they didnt get a review code.

They assume it was because they are vocal about trans rights. No guys, its because you have been talking shit about the game for a whole year.

They say the game got high scores because it was reviewed by fanboys.

It is so satisfying to see them struggle with the stich up their asses.

 

[ComputerBlue]

That's it for now. Game has to fully download to let me into the Hogwarts castle.

That looks amazing, it’s going to be so difficult avoiding the OT until I get the game on Friday.

 

[nush]

buying it for my GF

 

[JakeWolf]

The fuck is she crying about? That'd only make me want to play more. Stop bowing to these zealots cause that's all they want. Grow some balls, woman. No pun intended.

I think she was crying because she realized just how much being an ally really sucks, you make one mistake and now you're worse than the alt-right folks.

Oh grow up and have some empathy, she's allowed to be upset and it's clearly taking a toll on her. She doesn't deserve the hate

Agreed, she was trying to be nice and yet once you hop on the ''ally'' train there's no stopping, everything you do gets extra attention.

 

[Luipadre]

Preloaded on PS5. 2 hours and 18 mins to go

 

[Satansblade]

Did reviewers played with the Day One Patch? if so, that's crazy

No. No drivers either

 

[Fuz]

Eh, not good.
We basically never agreed on anything but it's good to have different opinions on the board. We're at risk of creating an echo chamber.

 

[nush]

Come here to talk about the game if you want. Don't start any shite. Hope the mods are ready to deal with them all.

 

[Jack Videogames]

According to the ban message he probably admitted to pirating/wanting to pirate this game? I mean, everyone here knows that's a no-no in GAF

 

[Cyberpunkd]

And yea their fanbase seems to be on the farther left/politically conscious side, so of course they're going to get shit. It's all just so embarrassing

Their videos are fun, but c’mon - that couple is peak millennials / zoomers material.

 

[Jaybe]

Took 30 seconds to get a response

The thread lasted all of two minutes and I got called a terf and Hitler, feels good.

Legend, and such an official looking thread too. Given they have nothing to discuss, it probably stay on page 2 for the week.

 

[V1LÆM]

All those people who said they were going to buy the game in the February thread... I wonder how they are feeling right now knowing they can't talk about the game that they are going to be playing through. I suppose now they admitted they are buying it they are all some kind of watchlist

 

[HotSauceEnema]

its the top of their trending posts too lol

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Damn that looks fantasic.

It really does but more so because of the art style, attention to detail and the overall atmosphere rather than individual textures/assets. But it's also Series S, so some of that will look better on X/PS5/PC, especially with ray tracing.

Either way, I loved what I've played so far. It reminded me of Uncharted games somehow.

 

[shoplifter]

Love living in New Zealand

 

[V1LÆM]

If they hadn't permanently banned my account I'd go post another thread and get permanently banned

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

What a fucking legend. This thread will probably be deleted off the face of the earth so see it while you can.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/hogwarts-legacy-review-thread.683977/

EDIT:

Lol some guy with an actual serious response in the thread despite the OP being nothing but a picture of JK Rowling, "They actually pulled it off. Seems like there are some technical glitches here and there on PS5 but they can probably patch that over time."

They're gonna come for you too in addition to the OP, friend, for daring to speak on the video game as if it were a video game.

Well needless to say in the end I did not click the "I understand" button

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

 

[V1LÆM]

How dare you post a picture of a goblin. racist!

/s

 

[Banjo64]

Eh, not good.
We basically never agreed on anything but it's good to have different opinions on the board. We're at risk of creating an echo chamber.

True however we have people banned for deliberately antagonising people over their console of choice, people aggressively baiting others over social issues is always going to result in a ban. As always it’s the way you handle the discussion and how you get your point across IMO.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Asian here (Taiwanese) and my god am I bewildered by your politics, since when are gaming this tense? Why can't we just enjoy something for once?

This is what English speaking streamers (GirlfriendReviews) have to go through when playing this game, they got attacked for just playing it, they don't even really like the game that much. The girl (I think her name is Shelby?) even started to cry like WTF?

Meanwhile, this is what non-English speaking streams look like.
Everyone's just having a blast and we all love how faithful the game is when it comes to environment details. You can see the chat's cracking jokes and being silly.

Keep in mind as well that Taiwan is considered the most progressive in Asia too and yet none of us care that much, certainly not like the west is right now.
I'm not religious but Jesus fucking Christ...

Americans are very political. Add in social media and it gets worse.

Dont let that fool you into thinking all countries on this part of the globe are like that. As a Canadian, none of us go ape shit about things like this and we are just on the other side of the border.

 

[AtomicStarving]

SWEEEEEET Gonna play this later!

 

[Wimbledon]

Can't wait to play

 

[LordCBH]

Ah yes, Laura Kate Dale, the epitome of sanity.

Bro I just ate lunch why you gotta show me that disgusting thing.

 

[Fuz]

I think we all lose something when someone who's been here for quite some time get a permaban, that's all.

 

[Doczu]

you can't play it on PS4 yet.

There are like 50 reviews or so.
They didn't send review codes to outlets that have been openly trashing the game for months now. Can you blame them? Polygon, Kotaku, etc, all of them have trashed this game and talked about how you can't separate it from JKR's "hateful" views. Why would they send them early codes? They are completely irrelevant, destroying their own business for internet clout.

Dude, the 14 was a punch line to the 88.

I'm still waiting, reviews look good, if the performance is a steady 30 i'm buying

 

[V1LÆM]

They see us Rowlin', they hatin'! Patrollin' they try'na catch ya gamin' dirty!

 

[Chozoldman]

And...just got an email from Amazon stating my pre-order has been delayed until...March fucking 1st?!?! What the hell is this?

Anyone else get boned?

I was going to make a legit review thread but then I realized it obviously wouldn't be up long so I went this route. I think it was effective.

The game is out of stock anywhere, you can't even buy the physical version at many online stores anymore. Either you wait or you go digital sadly.
