Hogwarts Legacy

I get better results on atf

Supposedly, there was a morality system planned but alas, investors rushed the game to come out

The game was fantastic until the mask came off a third of the way through and became hardcore Ubislop.

Yeah but it didn't let me start as a 12 year old and let me experience the youthful love i missed in HS over a 7 game series.

It really is but there are just way too many loading screens. It kills my immersion.

no romances, no friendship meters, not even measly companions for quests

No it isn't, and no it didn't. The original stories are essentially mysteries, not "run around the wilderness murdering poachers and terrorists" stories

The npcs are all fucking atricious besides the nerdy grif girl.

It's a good nostalgia trip. Hogwarts is comfy. there aint anything more to it, though. Bad story, bad characters, gameplay gets boring really quick.

Everything after GoF is Students being part of a guerilla army taking down a fascist government ruled by a wizard terrorist

slytherin dude is ok though I wouldve preferred a slytherin girl turning me to the dark side

It's not a good game, just a nice theme park. Enjoyed some nostalgia visiting the places, but the main mission and the mechanics fucking suck. It would have been much better if it was a straight up theme park with some HP themed minigames (specially quidditch)

No it isn't, it's ubislop: Harry Potter edition. All we wanted was a comfy Hogwarts sim and instead they focused on the shit nobody cares about.

investors rushed the game to come out

Ah, there it is. Longing for the day when game devs won't have to cave to pressure from money hungry faggots so we can actually have games finished the way the devs envisioned them.

OotP is about finding out what Voldemort wants in the Department of Mysteries
HBP is about finding out what Horcruxes are, what Voldemort's Horcruxes are specifically, and where they are, and also the submysteries of the Half-Blood Prince and why Malfoy is fucking around with the Room of Requirement
Deathly Hallows continues the mystery of finding the Horcruxes (and also introducing the Deathly Hallows for no discernible reason other than to have another MacGuffin)

would've preferred

Dangerously based

Game relies heavlily on nostalgia fueled exploration

Allows fast travel

??????

You can literally get on a broom and fly wherever the fuck you want. You control the buttons you press.

He wants the world with literal magic teleportation to not allow teleporting

idk bro

Everything about this game beyond the environments is pure retardation. I don't get how you can fuck up this bad. Even the PS1 Harry Potter is a better game if you just want to have fun.

You can’t do anything

fly wherever the fuck you want

actually not true.

Heres your harry potter game bro, you can explore hogwarts, hogsmeade, forest, whatever the fuck

Also this key feature allows you to precisly not do that and just skip everything and teleport because magic lol

You can literally get on a broom and fly wherever the fuck you want.

did you actually play the game
the broom limitations are fucking retarded

It's because like 3/4 of the map is just generic filler content. Nobody is going to spend time walking/flying around copy paste forest assets. If they had limited it to the recognisable locations & made the gameplay & story more like Bully, it would've easily been GotY.

This game is actually good.

It was the most boring game that I played in a good while. It does the setting justice, true, but the plot was forgettable, core gameplay is meh and the Ubisoft-like open world with nothing meaningful to find dragged the whole thing down immensely.
I liked shadow of Mordor/war combat but I found HL's take on it to be annoying.

lazy eye the game

Ps2 Harry Potter game is still pure fucking kino
Played it some time last year and I remember being able to go most places on a broom and I simply didn't care about the implementation of fast travel. It's a video game, if I don't feel like going all the way somewhere else on a broom I fast travel. Why the fuck do people care about fast travel.

The whole game suffers from being open-world. It's a magical castle/death trap, that's far more interesting than 19th century rural Scotland.

obsessed with beasts

said beasts are intelligent enough to give consent

you just know

Penny demands a contest between the MC and the Centaurs to see who can kill the most Poachers first.

Winner gets Penny.

I don't even like Harry Potter. Can you play quidditch?

HA! No. You can only use your Broom to fly around and do some time trial races, Quidditch is out.

Then to add insult to injury, they released a crappy as fuck Quidditch game a few years later that NO ONE PLAYED.

Quidditch sucks and i dont understand the fandoms obsession with shitty overcomplicated flying soccer

I don't understand why you'd want immersion in a game about a fantasy world

I mean, as a kid, a sport made for flying around a broomstick is gonna sound awesome regardless.

Plus, I get to smack other Players with a club, that sounds fun.

I wouldn't know, I don't play wokeslop

consent

Zoomer detected

For me the ubishit formula is the biggest tragedy.
The parts of the map they put effort into are fantastic, but they then bloated the entire thing rather than making a smaller and tigher game.

shant play hogsharts transgassy
it's basically a walking simulator
hogfarts 2 may be good tho, but this time it will be like starfield and all the people will be dark with funny voices

You can't date anyone. It's a non-life sim built around a school. Would have been a game of the millennium if it incorporated classes and other slice of life stuff as you could progress through the years

blonde haired Slytherin girl

gigabased

It's a game whos rules are made by someone that doesn't understand sports.
The concept of scoring points throughout a game but it meaning nothing unless you have a 140 point lead (scoring 10 at a time) because the opponents might get the "i win, game over" orb. Or worse, deliberately extending a game because your team is trying to catch up to that number so you're not allowed to do the only purpose you have in the game.

Quidditch was planned but they ran out of time.
Shit ton of features got cut to meet deadlines, like different endings to quests and the main game, a morality system, prefects patrolling Hogwarts at night and the border of the dark forest, a companion system or even shit like doing flips on your broom
Hell, the last two are so finished that there's mods to just turn them back on and they work just fine.

Yeah, I also made her a huge psychopathic cunt, would always demand more money in any side quest, mock anyone I could after beating them at duels or the magic bowling thing and all the battles were just a barrage of unforgivable curses.

The virgin Harry Potter wizards:

hide away from the non-magical folk to avoid being genocided

avoid using their magic on non-magical folk

hide their school in the middle of the cold and damp ass highlands

wave little twigs around

couldn't stand up to one dark lord and two dozen cronies

only eat big dinners at school

rise the ranks by reading books, passing tests and making new discoveries like a bunch of nerds

most powerful wizard got his title by cheating with the Elder Hax Wand

afraid of death

The Chad Discworld wizards:

live among non-magical folk, openly display their magical status

use their magic on anyone who fucks with them, give zero fucks

put their school smack bang in the middle of their world's biggest city

use solid oak six foot staffs with knobs on the end

can stand up to dragons, elves, Things from the Dungeon Dimensions and even the Auditors of all reality

eat big dinners their whole lives

rise the ranks by 86ing their superiors

most powerful wizard fucking earned his title by being too robust and sharp to kill

summon death to ask him trivial questions

Potter wizards were lacking in magitech

I've always thought Quidditch was retarded.

train and train for years

work out masterful execution through long hours training with teammates

achieve peak team cohesion

eat, sleep, drink team strategy

lose because someone caught a random flying thing that has no other bearing on the game whatsoever

If you were so good at the game, you could've simply been 150 points ahead

All Harry Potter games are required to include one potential Slytherin GF.

Also, one racist Hufflepuff GF.

you win if you're the big hero main character

there's an entire house just for the villains of the story

Damn it's like this was written for children by a retarded femoid

Albus GUNbledore

isn't each goal like 10 points or something? that's being down 14 scores and then magically winning since some autist caught the flying ball. again, retarded
kek

I remember two spinoff books from when I was a kid. One was the book the newish fantastic beasts films are based off where it's a pocket notebook of weird creatures and personal findings from the in world author.
Actually far more interesting than what the films turned out to be, they really should have just made some spoof wildlife documentary.
The other was some faux history and it mentioned a quidditch game that lasted only 3 seconds as the player immediately grabbed the snitch.

the main character winning is exclusively a Harry Potter thing

Genuine low IQ, then again you need low IQ to begin with to be interested in HP which is just Star Wars for chicks.

Name 35 other fictional sports whose rules were made so the main character win by doing one specific action, rendering the whole rest of the match moot

Star Wars for chicks.

Star Wars IS for chicks, though. Only people I know that have seen the new movies are women that love to brag about how "nerdy" they are

Blurnsball

No, you complained that the main character wins at something.
And now you narrowed it down so much you might as well also specify that it must be from a franchise about wizards set in a castle that serves as school.
Again, low IQ.

the new movies

Nice try, but those movies have been memory holed by everyone, just like Game of Thrones.

No, you complained that the main character wins at something.

In response to a post about Quidditch. Keep up, fren
And no, I'm not gonna keep engaging in your attempt to twist the meaning of my post because you don't understand Anon Babble quotes. Have a nice day

What the fuck are these retards going on about quidditch, who gives a shit

it feels really souless that the students are mostly stuck in place and have no schedule, and they just vanish when it's night

just like Game of Thrones.

more media for chicks.

What the fuck are these retards going on about quidditch in a Harry Potter game thread, who gives a shit

Yes, unironic Potterslurper, everything is for women, I guess that's your way to cope for liking the lamest franchise ever.

why didn't voldemort use imperio to make harry snap his wand

I did a similar playthrough and I enjoyed being a complete bitch to everyone but the inability to do actual evil shit squandered my enjoyment. Hoping for the next game to be set outside of hogwarts so I can be a full on psycho bitch

Same reason Frodo didn't take the eagles to Mt. Doom

I still find it hilarious Voldemort lost because he failed to troubleshoot his wand's technical issues.

A shit ton of your favorite games are only good because of constraints and limitations put on the developers, and left to their own devices the devs would have made unrepentant shit.

Yes, unironic Potterslurper, everything is for women, I guess that's your way to cope for liking the lamest franchise ever.

I do not like HP, have only seen one of the movies part of the way through, have not read the books, and do not have any merch. I just like going into threads and complaining about things

only good because of constraints and limitations

Funi joke

good exploration game
but bad for RP and comfy school larping

also DEI professors and classmates
idgaf about magic in japan or africa just kek

He's correct thoughever

the only thing you do in this game is murder goblins and spiders

The world should have consisted of the school, hogsmeade, the forest, and then reduce the rest of the open world by at least half. Invest the time that was spent copy pasting enemy camps and merlin trials on the rest of the map to fill space into actual content and the game would have felt even better.

Harry Pootah has always been diverse. I remember seeing black kids at Hogwarts when I watched the first movie.

You now remember the entire southern half exists
Ubisoft-tier map design

I wonder what the teachers think of their newbie student spending her nights roaming the dark forest torturing and killing poachers and spiders.

That was something that always stuck out to me. Voldemort hated muggles so much he would be too arrogant to think that any kind of muggle technology would be able to harm him. Dumbledore could have had someone just shoot Voldemort in the back and he wouldn't be able to do shit, poetic end to him. Try parrying a piece of lead going 900 ft per second you noseless bastard.

its like 1900 england and every other professor is some kind of minority

Why the fuck does your game look like it's from 2005? Also stop spamming, you're worse than the faggotposter

Nice jugs

Because I played it on a Steam Deck, its on minimum except for textures.

I'm not even much of a HP fan and I enjoyed the game. Will start a new save for the Switch 2 version. House Slytherin, bitches. Come get some.

2005 is a bit exaggerated, but it does look like this screenshot I took of Mass Effect 1 cause the difference between face and body textures was silly

I just dont know what setting controls the quality of the hair.
Wish it had one just set for that because its a problem in a lot of games.

Viper House, motherfucker.

The game would be good if everything outside of the castle was summarily deleted. Instead they made that trash 70%+ of the game.

I really enjoyed the game. Fell apart in the last quarter, but it was still a lot of fun until then. And loved the music.
youtube.com/watch?v=k3QiKQ73IXU

The best thing about this game is how a 15 year old that recently became a wizard/witch is a racial supremacist that can and will cull the goblin population.

Is Viper House an HP lore thing?

It's from The Witcher

I'm so pissed this was the perfect opportunity to make a game actually focused around going to the classes, progressing through the years and having slower paced rpg interactions. But instead its just a 3rd person shooter

Slytherin' this ambition all over your faces, all you pansy ass other houses better recognize

it wasnt THAT bad but the moment you leave the school its easy to forget you are playing a harry potter game

I'll always stand by the fact that its impossible to make a fun school simulator of any kind.
School settings are only fun due to what happens around the class time, not in them.
