I haven't played it, nor seen reviews
No. Probably not. The Dev behind it should have been a dead giveaway that it was going to be dogshit.
online
this is lies
It's not. It's always online single player. The Denuvo crack is offline only. That's how Denuvo works.
Does this mean that if they turn off the servers you loose access to the game forever?
You can play it offline it means its offline moron
Online activation is already a thing even before Denuvo exists
>no sex scenes
no
just watch your favorite eceleb play it
I don’t have any the closest would be adventure art for his awesome Daggerfall playthroughs but I doubt he’ll ever cover this game.
>Not true open world
Good stop fricking shoving these giant empty open worlds into every single game

You homosexuals are gonna gobble that shit up.

Sounds like you've been shilled to successfully
>Not true open world
???
One of the channels that previewed mentioned that it would not be open-world in the same way as Skyrim or Oblivion
So this game is more focused? Good, I'm tired of huge sandboxes that just tell me to do whatever
It’s advertised as an open world game and so it should deliver and open world game. All they had to do was make it in vein of Skyrim or Oblivion and add mod support.
To me it just sounds like you're making up random excuses to hate the game. I'll play it and judge it for my self as I always do. If it sucks I'll shitpost on Ganker about it. If it doesn't suck then I'll keep playing it and watch anti gaming doomers like you seethe
I’m not though, I want to be proven wrong and I want this game to be good. I have come very close to pre-ordering it and I have not pre-ordered a game since Skyrim but then I have second thoughts when I hear of some of issues regarding features and mod support etc.
>All they had to do was make it in vein of Skyrim or Oblivion and add mod support.
Not even remotely and this is impressive bait.
How do you even come to this conclusion?
Because that would be the best way to approach an open world RPG, if this had been as such then you would have many more options and possibilities. Plus more content added through mods that would improve the game immensely.
Then the game would be wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle. Tacked-on RPG mechanics aside you do realise that the vast, vast majority of people wouldn't look at the game for anything more than the school?
Skyrim and Bethesda RPG's in general are known for their "make your own fun" approach and their hardcore modding communities. This and that aren't even in the same wheelhouse.
The school is the draw and I don't think this game needed RPG mechanics, it is just an a way to make the player feel like they're progressing and getting stronger, they're shallow.
The scope is so different that you can't really begin to make the draw to Skyrim or TES games. The Witcher 3 is probably the only game that people could try that with but even that falls horribly flat when you consider the intent behind the worlds design.
Ok true the school is a draw but they’re not focusing on that you don’t have lesions you attend and there is no house points or house cup to speak of. The maps already looks shallow as the school is only a tiny part of it the rest being empty space and there isn’t Hogsmeade.
Without RPG mechanics how is you character going to be any different from a character someone else would have made apart from appearance. With RPG mechanics you could make you character unique through different attributes, skills, traits, quarks or advantages and disadvantages.
>Ok true the school is a draw but they’re not focusing on that you don’t have lesions you attend and there is no house points or house cup to speak of.
See this is one of the things that the game should be doing. The school is a good setting, making it a back drop is a mistake.
>The maps already looks shallow as the school is only a tiny part of it the rest being empty space and there isn’t Hogsmeade.
You can take or leave Hogmede, personally I don't mind either way.
>Without RPG mechanics how is you character going to be any different from a character someone else would have made apart from appearance.
Ideally you do that with house and customisation options. Note that these aren't the same as RPG mechanics. People can RP without RPG mechanics, you see it all the time in GTA and the like, cutomisation options are the key and the game has them in spades.
The RPG mechanics themselves are just shallow progression markers. They add nothing to the game and I guarantee that by the time you hit the level cap you'll have every upgrade purchased anyhow.
You make the character unique with how you go about playing them.
Two people with similar builds aren't likely to play a game the same way unless they followed a "meta" build for those characters.
> The RPG mechanics themselves are just shallow progression markers. They add nothing to the game and I guarantee that by the time you hit the level cap you'll have every upgrade purchased anyhow.
That’s simply not true RPG mechanics allow your characters unique attributes to have real in-game effects otherwise it’s just shallow cosmetics. Some people are naturally stronger than others so it makes sense for them to have higher strength stats and the same with intelligence etc. Also if you have certain advantages and disadvantages you could have a character that is so good that he takes damage from holy places or maybe one that regenerates while underwater. This opens up much more possibilities that have real in-game effects because otherwise it’s just pointless. Also in a good RPG if you wouldn’t be able to have a character max every state and skill and nor should you. It doesn’t make sense for a warrior to max magic stats or for a thief to master heavy armour.
It's probably just in and around Hogwarts in the early game then opens up to more of Scotland later
do you have a inner monologue?
Ohh no no. Oh hell no no no no, we aren't going to pretend for a fricking second that you are somehow superior for actually being entertained by these pointless sandboxes. I bet you thought BotW was game of the decade.
m8, you play fricking videogames
come on now
Don't forget that 19th century Hogwarts has the ethnic demographics of 21st century London
I'll give it a pass because it is the british empire at its peak, so there being guys from hong kong, east africa, and india makes sense if its the only school for the entire nation.
Given how Rowling made three schools for Europe and only one for Asia it makes sense that indians attend hogwarts
They brought in a historian to end this kind of comments. Forgot the sauce but apparently the majority of the world was significantly more diverse than originally expected. I believe the only exception was Japan but even they were found to have a higher black and poc population.
>Trust us
It took a long time to get anywhere and boats carrying hundreds of people were very rare and not all races had them, like Black folk.
>"poc"
Just say you don't like whites and Asians you coward
The only way this would be true is if you count the european empires as a single state like
, which is disingenuous as frick for a historian to do
Non-anglos wouldn't immigrate to core UK conventionally like they do now, true, but it wouldn't be strange for elites to send their children to be educated there
>They brought in a ~~*historian*~~
Okay
It's sad that even if this were proven to be true, no one here would ever believe it.
This is bullshit and you know it's bullshit.
That's what people have forgotten, or at least people who live in a Silicone Valley barrack or a rundown tenement in New York as they desperately try to LARP their favorite sitcoms like Friends, as now all it takes is a single twenty-hour plane flight to reach the other side of the world. Back then? The vast, vast, VAST majority of people used horse drawn buggies as their means of transportation. Before the troony starts ranting about trains, trains needed very specific infrastructure in a flat ground based terrain which meant they were only built in highly developed areas.
To name an example: carving a tunnel through a mountain range was a herculean effort and it took decades for the two sides of the Rockies to be connected. And that was long after the Injuns and Outlaws were gone. In Africa, your rails are going to be scrapped by Bantu making your train run off the rails. In Asia, the Boxers and Taiping would derail your locomotives as a matter of ideological principle. Indochina? Tcho-Tcho would prey on the workers.
Once you throw sea-travel into the mix and it's even more difficult. It took about two months to travel from Great Britain to Australia in a steam-powered vessel. Clipper vessels like the slave ships trannies rant about took weeks to reach the new world. Furthermore, the quality of life in Victorian Britain for the average middle-class citizen was about the same as a middling Qing Bureaucrat. There just wasn't a reason to immigrate.
Even America needed to have massive land grabs and precious metal rushes in order to attract new people otherwise nobody would move to the New World. Apart of the reason why South America failed was because Brazil and Argentina didn't get lucky with their gold reserves. Whoever this 'historian' was, I guarantee you he took the short bus.
that a nice review when did you get the game? half the shit you said just isnt true or just your own speculation.
>you do attend classes
>its not always online
the only things you said that are true are that it has denuvo, no quidditch or house points, quest zones and 26 spells.
You missed lack of mod support, dumbed down gameplay or the clear railroaded quests complete with scripted set pieces shown by the game preview. I want to be proven wrong on these things but there are so many warning signs that can’t go ignored.
dude you watched 1 side quest which was railroaded. doesnt mean the entire game is railroaded. you stupid homosexual
literally showed countless hours of footage of the game clearly not being entirely railroaded. you are just a stupid little shitter.
i mean if you want to cry about shit, point out actual legit things to be pissed about like PS5 timed exclusive content, or basic shit like hogsmeade not in the game, or shit like the NPCs being identical and not reacting to any spells being cast at them
>dude you watched 1 side quest which was railroaded. doesnt mean the entire game is railroaded. you stupid homosexual
If you move to far away from Poppy the game literally gives you a “you are leaving the mission zone” straight out of Call of Duty. Add the fact that you’re just following a path that leads from scripted encounter with dialogue to fighting and more scripted encounters with dialogue. The dungeon is just a straight path with no branches or any room for alternative strategies.
>hogsmeade not in the game, or shit like the NPCs being identical and not reacting to any spells being cast at them
So even more things to be concern about I didn’t even know about those ones.
>If you move to far away from Poppy the game literally gives you a “you are leaving the mission zone” straight out of Call of Duty.
yeah during the mission, same as shit like red dead. That doesn't mean you can't fully explore everything when you're not in a story mission.
I know but this limits the way you can approach the objective you can’t say climb the mountain that overlooks the poachers and snipe them, or fly underneath their lookout and take them out from below or decide to bugger off and ignore the quest for a good time bringing Poppy with you on other quests. No, you have to go on the set path the developers put for you without any deviation even when it might make tactical sense.
i don't really care. If you want to do that then just go there without doing the mission or something.
>Dumbed down gameplay
Please tell me about how deep the gameplay was on previous HP games compared to this one
I’m talking about when compared to RPGs as a whole and from that perspective it’s a further dumbing down of the genre. RPGs for the PLATO computers were more in-depth than what passes as an RPG now. I hoped that this would not a be a further downgrade and maybe something on Skyrim’s low level but this might even be below that.
>no romance
>no school RP
>no frick and suck
it's over
I just wanna explore the school and find cool secrets. Everything else is just extra.
Bargaining phase of mourning right here
Anime avatar with pronouns on Twitter posted this
No, I despise Twitter because it has created this cancerous woke culture and was archived in the library of congress at the expense of the old Internet. Also I want to be wrong about all of this, I want it to be a good RPG but I can’t ignore these warning signs. I’ve been very tempted to pre-order but then I have second thought when I see how dumb-down it will most likely be.
Forgot the image
sure troon
I have made it very clear that I am not one of those disgusting sub-humans and I want to be proven wrong on this. Yet instead of proving me wrong which in-fact I want you will accuse me of being a troon, give me reasons why I am wrong and not accusations that are impossible to prove or even disprove for that matter.
no one is falling for your deceptions.
>I despise Twitter because it has created this cancerous woke culture
That was more Tumblr than Twitter. They just took Twitter over after all the artists fled.
People were being cancelled on Twitter while Tumblr was still around and there was a lot of hastag woke campaigning as well.
still buying it
>Box art literally says Nogwarts
Is this that "gaslighting" thing that women are always b***hing about?
Just want to explore Hogwarts, simple as.
full price? doubt it, but for 20 bucks maybe
what do you expect from a children's ip videogame aimed at anybody and everybody? gotta dumb everything down to get as much money as possible
The Might and Magic games were aimed at everybody and they had depth, the same with Ravenloft series and Betrayal at Krondor. Also it being E for everybody doesn’t excuse the lack of mod support.
other than might and magic which ubi killed recently those weren't mass marketed to the general public like video games are done today
should add shitty combat.
?t=105
You can do some pretty cool combos it looks like, but the AI mostly just stand around and wait for you to attack. Makes me think increasing difficulty just makes enemies meat shields instead of actually doing something
Why is every spell just "word-o".
>the rockstar formula
I wish.
There shouldn't be any combat at all, or combat encounters should be extremely rare. And certainly not 1v10 against way more experienced mages: the protagonist is not a student, he's fricking Wizard Terminator.
What I wanted was a magic school simulator with classes/social life management and kino castle exploration. But what they made is... a generic Ubisoft game with a Harry Potter skin.
Which is fine I guess, it'll probably be a decent videogame. But I'm not playing it, not interested.
Combat would've been expected either way since the game is set in the 1890's specifically, shit is about to get wild on Earth and we know that shit goes wrong for Wizards around then too.
The main plot being some kind of goblin uprising is hilarious though, that's shit to do with the Ministry of Magic, not some kid.
Even if said kid has access to very, very old magic.

There ain't no way... Source? Can't be real.
Which game is this? This doesn’t sound anything like Hogwarts Legacy unless it turns into some woke space opera half way though.
what the frick are you smoking you gay homosexual?
I don’t remember any of that from the Harry Potter books? Which books was this?

Every Hogwarts student from the books is a virgin.
pretty sure Ginny was canonically frickin her way around school
>One of the NPCs references Rosa Parks
But that hadn't happened yet...
do you like harry potter?
if yes, yes
if no, no
We won't know until the game is out. Fortunately the Digital Deluxe gays will be beta testers.
No hermione no romance no buy
It was clear from the first preview it was using the rockstar formula and not an actual RPG.
Then they shouldn’t have called an RPG
most video game descriptors are bastardized now don't you know? mmo can be 8v8 if there's matchmaking
>moron doesnt know what an RPG is
GTA is an RPG by the way. Its a very big ass umbrella that is dictated by you being in a specific role and deciding how to proceed. It isnt "I CAN DO ANYTHING"
No, moron an RPG is a genre of games that is derived from or attempts to simulate tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Metamorphosis Alpha, GURPS, Shadowrun or WOD.
Anon you know thats wrong because you just self described those games sub genre of RPGs which is a TRPG or a TTRPG. The term RPG evlnvelops a frickload of video games so stop this shit
I did not I described RPGS as a genre of games based on or derived from tabletop RPGS. That is a description of RPGs as a whole not just a subsection because all RPGs have taken core elements from tabletop games without that they can’t be really called an RPG.
I don't know OP. I have not played it.
No honestly it does not seem very interesting but if they add a quiddich dlc or something I will consider it
I would rather a quiddich mod than more DLC that could have been included with the game but released separately like EA do with the Sims.
>all this
>still makes trannies angry
Yeah, I'm thinking of buying a second copy.
I’m not a troony and this game doesn’t make me angry I am merely concerned about the quality of the game. I want to be wrong about the points that I raised and I have almost pre-ordered it which I haven’t done since Skyrim. But I don’t want to feel that I’m throwing my money on something that will be dumbed down and that will have no mod support.
>I am merely concerned about the quality of the game
There has been around 6 games in total in the last 8 years with good quality. By good quality I mean something you can immerse yourself with.
TLOU
Red Dead Redemption 2
GTA4
God of War Ragnarok
and I'm running out of quality games.
I'm all for quality senpai, but there just isn't anymore.
>6 games in total in the last 8 years with good quality.
>TLOU
that shit isn't even a game, it's an interactive movie.
These points are all nothingburgers. I will enjoy this game on release and have fun.
How are these points nothingburgers? The lack of modding support is a big enough of an issue on it’s own.
Most AAA games have frick all modding support these days.
Which is really bad! Games are improved immensely by mods Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas and Skyrim would have been not nearly as good without mods. Mods would be able to give us new spells, locations and creatures to fight. We could have had something like Midas Magic for this game or monster mod or some of those bizarre new location mods like Salem. But alas we can’t even have an unofficial patch mod. I can’t see myself enjoying this game for more than a month without mods.
Yeah, and they didn't make any money off it. So the industry doesn't care.
You're mad that this game isn't doing something that literally only 1 company does. Also Bethesda uses a dogshit engine and the mods are all terrible
Reminder to trannies:
https://vocaroo.com/1cd5gkuyoHE4
OP, I've been through this, I don't give a BLOODY FRICK WHAT YOU THINK!
gonna wait for the crack
>denovu
anon....
someone will probably pay empress the 500 dollar bounty to do it, or he may do it himself because he absolutely hates trannies (despite being one himself)
I guess you missed the part where empress was defeated by mh rise.
You missed the part where there are now marketplace aggregators for sellers hawking Denuvo cracks the same way people sell keys. Nobody pays 500 dollars any more. Buddy, you are WAY behind the times.
you dropped your meds
>dumbed down
Compared to what exactly?
why my penis wenis of course
Compared to RPGs in general, I wasn’t exactly expecting Daggerfall levels of depth but this game looks dumbed down even compared to Skyrim’s and Fallout 4’s low levels.
From what I've seen you probably can up the difficulty, artificial. The game is not much different with Skyrim/FO4 marked quest locations. I don't know how more dumbed down than those game can be. You can compare it with Elden Ring dumbed down, but Skyrim was so easy, people started doing mods to make it even more difficult.
Dumbing down is not about making the game easier but about removing features and options especially RPG features. If have less options and less complexity then the game just becomes more limited and thus dumbed down. Besides you could mod Skyrim and Fallout 4 to make them more difficulty we can’t even do that with this one.
So like souls' where no one guides you, nothing is shown, and everything have to be discovered?
>it's a generic action rpg with a harry potter paint job slapped on it
how did they not make it re-playable? a harvest moon/gta/bully sim would have been infinitely better. Want to focus on quidditch this playthrough? extra quests/win championship/get invited to world cup/etc. Want to focus on schooling? Learn all spells, get picked for tri-wizard torunament. Want to start a business? Sell stuff to students, open a shop/supply a shop in hogsmeade/diagon alley etc. Want to romance someone? Want to train animals? want to train people to take on dark wizards ala dumbledores army?
WHY WHY WHY did they not think 'hey, there's a lot we could do to give this game replay-ability and really make people work for all the gold we can bury in this universe depending on how they play and how good they are' and instead thought 'lol harry potter now go here and win'
That would require effort, anon. I'm of the opinion a lot of these games are made from an AC code template companies sell each other under the table. What you said might be possible but it would requite effort, while the template is already optimized with classes and methods for the regular AC game.
>how did they not make it re-playable?
This is my main issue.
I hope the mods can work on that. The rest just seem like you want to live your entire life there. Still, it's good content for an MMO game and you can do all that. Forget about making it so fancy.
AAA devs don't make anything but Ubisoft Game.
It’s a wasted opportunity then we could have had a real good Hogwarts RPG with mod support and school simulator instead of mediocre lazy game
No you couldn't have. Who is going to make it?
Feel like they're gonna dumb down this game super hard, worse than god of war "puzzles", since they probably expect a lot w*men to play this
A game doesn't have to tick every box on the planet. All it needs to do is get what they do have right, and people will enjoy it.
If it makes your concerning gash heal faster, I ain't pre-ordering.
Why do you think that I am troon for razing clear points of contention? I want this game to be good and I want to be wrong about it and I have come close to pre-ordering but there is so much about this that looks like dumbed down goyslop.
>good character creator
>deep customisation
>fully explorable Hogwarts
>classes like Bully
>perhaps a waifu/romance
If it ticks these boxes then we're good.
Besides the explorable Hogwarts it ticks none of these.
Didn't they keep killing themselves because they couldn't cope with being turned into cyborgs?
Maybe. I distinctly remember it getting at least more shit after Tumblr banned porn.
>No fully rendered, interactive sex scenes with hebe Hermione with slightly hairy armpits
No buy
No, it's probably going to bad but sell like crazy due to outrage marketing and nostalgia
I don't let Gankerirgins trick me into getting actual goyslop. The last time I did was with Avengers. And time and time again you gays tried the same shit. Cyberpunk 2077, Mass Effect Remake, Forspoken, etc. Don't let these buttholes trick you into getting Hogwarts Legacy. You won't do any damage to the trannies by getting it nor are you a troony for not getting it. Judge the gameplay for yourself by watching no commentary gameplay
What Ganker have you been visiting? Because no one recommended any of those games, they were all widely ridiculed
I don't know. I really liked the Shadow of Mordor games. I'll wait for a week or two for the reviews
We lost the MERP mod for that
Everyone already knows it's gonna be asscreed/witcher 3 with magic. Anyone expecting anything more is gonna be disappointed.
Im getting it because I liked the PS2 games as a kid and it looks similar. If you never played those, not sure how youd like this one.
So how long till someone streams the game early? I'm going to guess Wednesday this week.
I've seen some game plays but for the consoles. Also, I heard there was an early update for those early people of 50 gigs.

How can a new IP be "dumbed down"? You're just making shit up to be mad about, typical troony behavior.
It’s dumbed down from the RPG genre not the franchise and I’m not mad only rightfully concerned. I want to be wrong about what I’m saying and I want this game to be good but how can I be convinced of that when so much shows the opposite?
shit, can't argue with facts
you're really grasping there
forced me to google it
Q: Does Hogwarts Legacy require an internet connection?
A: Those who purchase a physical copy of Hogwarts Legacy will be required to connect to the internet to install a Day 1 patch. Those who purchase the game digitally will receive the patch with the initial download.
so you're wrong about that
a lot of your shit is just plain wrong

RPG stats are not arbitrary some people are stronger or smarter than others and that should be represented in the stats. Also what if I want to play one time as a evil mastermind wizard who physically weak but makes up for that through forbidden spells and is damaged by holy places or a physically strong wizard who is not good with magic but uses magic to enhance his strength and heals while underwater, the restricted character creator won’t let me do either of those things. Also RPGs are derived from tabletop RPGS so they should use their mechanics
>the "RPG" part is already proven , with multiple endings, houses determine quest order, and side quests effect main story etc etc
Silent hill and GTA IV are those RPGs?
options that have any real impact in the game
>see above, Black person you're repeating yourself constantly
You can chuck spell everywhere and nobody will care
>no quidditch
>oh no, not a crappy mini game that nobody would ever play to begin with
Don’t you want to become a sports hero of the wizarding world?
>no house points or house cup
>not confirmed
That will be putting to many consequences on the player which would confuses the causal audience their aiming at
>no classes that you attend
>wrong, you literally see the kids in class in cutscenes already, dumbass
Probably just as intros to quests
you're just lying about the "thousands of spells"
and you are delusional about what is the definition of RPG, open world etc etc
its really not worth arguing with you, its like speaking to a troony or Black person who tries to distort the language and meaning of words to push an agenda.

pick games that arent 30 years old child.
over half your complaints can be applied to those 3 example games you listed. im not gonna go down your dumb list and prove you more wrong, you can't even do basic shit like watch the footage of them clearly in class and see they are learning spells in class. so its really a waste of my time
>muh sports mini game
>muh bullet point issues
you really have such poor complaints, so fricking moronic
>you're just lying about the "thousands of spells"
No, I pretty sure there are countless spells in universe and more can be invented as well. Speaking of which can we even make our own spells?
>and you are delusional about what is the definition of RPG, open world etc etc
How so?
>its really not worth arguing with you, its like speaking to a troony or Black person who tries to distort the language and meaning of words to push an agenda.
I have not twisted anything
>>deus ex

>pick games that arent 30 years old child.
Games that are 30 years old are far superior to the shit we have now. Gaming has been so watered down its no even funny it was meant to advance instead it keep dumbing down. RPGs for PLATO computers in 70's are more in-depth than the 'rpgs' we have now
>over half your complaints can be applied to those 3 example games you listed.
How so? You can ignore the quest completely in Dagggerfall
>im not gonna go down your dumb list and prove you more wrong, you can't even do basic shit like watch the footage of them clearly in class and see they are learning spells in class. so its really a waste of my time
So you know deep down I’m right?
To be fair, Denuvo may need to regularly connect to a license server. Which is not exactly the same as always online, but getting there.
You forgot to mention about mod support because no modding support really should be a deal breaker
I've heard that denuvo and unreal both doesn't and does prevent/stop modding, can someone explain plainly and clearly why that is or isn't the case without saying "it just does lol"? israelitegle doesn't help.
Resident Evil games all have Denuvo, at least at launch, and it doesn't stop modding. Mass Effect is on Unreal and there are thousands of mods for both the original releases and the Legendary Edition remasters. Games don't need modding support to receive mods, but it does make it easier and allow for more thorough overhauls.
The only ‘mods’ for the Resident Evil remakes are model swaps no custom levels or areas like we got with the original Resident Evil games on the PC.
Aren't there randomizers?
Yes, but that’s about it. Let me know when something on the scale of Mortal Night is made for them.
Yep it's looking like another 7/10 AAA slogfest. I watched some early gameplay previews and what immediately jumped out to me was how soulless and cold the castle felt, the artificial, plasticy graphics and character mocap, and how fricking unpopulated it was. It's a fricking magic school and there are like 10 students walking around. What?
Combat looks like GOW mashy shit but if you're right and there are no classes or quiddich and the game is heavily on-rails, this is going to be a huge disappointment. Troons won.
A video I watched made it seem very questionable and is making me really wonder why some people keep insisting it's gonna be a masterpiece. It's just so... .typical?
The things I remember that irked me:
>Human models are firmly in uncanny valley and move in that weirdly animated way that's popular in games these days where everything has way too much momentum, like you've got olympic hammers attached to you spinning you around every time you turn slightly
>FPS dips constantly despite PS5 performance mode
>Loading signs and people phasing in and out of reality
>2004 era LODs (it might just be the PS5 but the area around Hogwarts looked almost entirely like Lake Rumare
>No meaningful way/consequences of interacting with the world, you can dump fire all over the place and nothing fricking happens
>Bam Ham stealth that feels at home in the avg Ubisoft game
>Tacked on crafting system a la ^
>Seems to be story and side quest focused rather than exploration focused, Hogwarts mostly seems to be 'lookie here' with scripted events all over.
>Atrocious UI/UX elements such as those rays you follow around to the next quest loc (though I assume those can be turned off) combined with a minimap that also plots your route
And my biggest peeve:
>Wizarding duels and combat look like actual shit
The Simon Says shield system, the 'this is red and hits hard, this is yellow and hits for less but holds the target up, this is blue and hits for less but does X', the fricking Spidey Sense for dodging spells (assuming this can also be turned off/ isn't present on higher difficulties). There being 26 spells or however many makes me feel that the ones actually used in combat will be largely there for the simon says shield shit and won't have much of a difference between each other.
I can see why Harry Potter fans might like this but I'm failing to see why they're losing their shit (apart from troony-obsessed morons just using it as an excuse)
Is it worth getting a dumbed down pseudo RPG from the dullest franchise in the history of franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though.
"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
Black person homosexual
falling for a copypasta, fricking moron
Holy shit, anon, it's a fantasy series for pre-teens, it isn't that deep.
Might and Magic games, the Ravenloft series or Betrayal at Krondor were aimed at a general audience but they still had in-depth RPG mechanics
Another moron falls for the same copypasta
Witcher 3?
dumbed down from what?
From RPGS in general which this game claims to be this game looks more dumbed down that even Skyrim and Fallout 4. RPGs should have become more advanced but their becoming more restrictive and shallow. Even RPGS for the PLATO computers in the 70’s are more advanced then modern ‘RPGS’
harry potter was never really an "in-depth" series
also a whole LOT of wom*n will play it so it has to be easy enough for them to play
The Sims is a franchise that appeals the most to women but the Sims 2 seems more in-depth than this game and plus you have been able to mod every sims game for the PC
What the frick have you done, there's now wires everywhere!
You forgot to wait until the game comes out, Ganesh.
>denuvo
>Always online
Will wait for a crack.
>>>>>Will wait for a crack.
HAHAHAHAHA
ENJOY WAITING FOREVER
Whatever you say, anon. It will launch and then anons will say it sucks, and you'll say they're coping because they can't play it, but you're happy to pay $60.00 plus tip for AAA polished turds so everyone wins in the end.
if theres one game this year, ONE GAME that every troony cracker hacker and wannabe coder is going to work on cracking - its this one. expect it to be playable for free within the week
Does that mean that we might get mods?
It'll probably be mediocre, yeah. Looks like it will be an open world game wide as the sea and deep as a puddle, with a story you can probably beat in two sittings. They hyped this up as THE HARRY POTTER GAMES TO SURPASS THE MOVIE TIE-INS AND BREAK THE BARRIER!!ELEVEN
But I doubt it will make anyone but potter nerds happy, and even then, only potter nerds that hate trannies.
The combat doesn't even look that interesting. There's no spell learning, no technique. It's just a cooldown-based third person shooter where you weave off CD abilities and maybe pull off one of a few interesting combinations.
The hype for this game seems entirely manufactured.
I’m not getting it because I’m sick of anti-Semitic tropes like the Goblins
how many times you gonna spam this shit over and over
Until someone refutes my points
being a homosexual won't get you anywhere, it didnt repair your relationship with your dad so you should know.
I have a very good relationship with my father as a matter of fact
why are you a homosexual then
Because I am not one, I am sexually attracted to women, which would make me the complete opposite of a homosexual
I hate how every enemy have healthbars and numbers in his bodies.
HermonieCHADS report in
Everyone knows Looney is best.
Dare I say, the peak?
>Daniel doesn't want to come back to Harry Potter for reasons that are probably similar to other child stars who grew to resent their roles
>Emma says she doesn't want to come back either but is obviously full of shit, she just doesn't want Rowling to be a bane on her acting career and moral status
>Rupert is the least successful of the trio but is all for coming back despite all the drama surrounding Rowling
Yeah, they're definitely going to have to recast almost everyone for future Harry Potter films.
Rupert is the most based of the 3, his participation on the Guillermo del Toro series on Netflix was good.
I don't know. I just got here. Why don't you just project your hot opinions onto us all some more so that we can't enjoy something we otherwise might have?
