Yeah that seems to be the main complaint.
For me, I just really really enjoyed the combat, mixing different spell combos, and flying around on my broom. Didn't really care to make friends with most of the NPCs, or do the collection/fetch quests (so I didn't. don't tell the autists)

How is this game an RPG? Your major choices barely ever matter. You always play the same character. The biggest differences you make are shit like whether you return the toys to a petulant first grader or if you keep them. There's no RPG here don't bullshit.

There are RPGs that let you roleplay in more ways than just hallucinating it. Underrail for example. Hogwarts is a 3rd person adventure game with customization.

The dialogue choices don't make any difference most of the time. They just make the npc comment on something in a different manner but it ultimately will not affect gameplay or quests 95% of the time. When you beat the kid in the bowling minigame you can say "i'm better than you" and you can say "good try" it will have 0 consequences or differences afterwards.
There are some exceptions like the Sebastian stuff though.
Hogwarts Legacy has character creation, customization, you have some choice when it comes to your character's actions and behavior, so it is an RPG, albeit a very barebones one.
So Fortnight is an RPG under your guidelines.
Titanfall 2 is an RPG under your guidelines.
Nu-Doom is an RPG under your guidelines.
Yet under your dumb ruleset Jackie Chan is somehow not an RPG.
Does Fortnite have dialogue options? Then no. Besides it's not my guidelines. That's just how they classify these things. RPG is a very broad term now.

Bully is about as good as you can do a school simulator open world game. I wish more games tried to emulate it - especially if its also set at a fantastical boarding school.
Yeah don't get me wrong, both of those games would probably be cool. This game just wasn't trying to be either of those though, and some people are still mad about it.

Modern bully; You are that Polish immigrant who doesn't quite fit in due to his red hair and pale skin, he often gets picked on by the Thugs, the Jocks and the Party-Goers, his only friends are from the geek club and arts class, the true inner-state first generation immigrant experience of being harassed and bullied by a group of blacks, hispanics and antifa types, drug use is wild in the school and sometimes you may even see students beating up other students or assaulting teachers on your way to class!

Maybe, but it's well done and to fun to play, while still allowing for some technical skill by setting up different spell combos based on the environment/enemies/not using forbidden spells in front of teachers/etc, and being able to switch between sets of spells in combat. Already makes it more complicated than Batman, even if the core idea is similar.
Sure you can also just mod in invincibility and instakill. Why play the game then?

I'm just saying that having all those combat options would mean more if you actually HAD to try new things to defeat enemies. It's better to have them than to not but it would be even better if the game actually forced you to make use of them in a major way.

Did you try playing on hard? Makes you actually use all the tools, most of the time
It's not a great game.
Its biggest strengths are the clothing customization and the castle design. Both top tier. Shame you spend very little of the game in the castle and you're often led out into an uninspired open world you've seen 20 times before.
The combat isn't bad but you've pretty much seen it all after the first 5 fights.
The story peaks at the intro and only gets more boring the further you progress. The player character is an emotionless weirdo that kills hundreds but the story treats him/her as a good-hearted 12 year old.
There's very little important differences between houses or dialogue options.
Most of the quests are lame fetch shit or (complete this challenge), the good ones like the Sebastian one are rare. The lessons are incredibly disappoint, they quickly devolve into cutscene montages with no learning involved.
Flying isn't integrated into the gameloop very well.
It's a 7.5/10 max. And it's also funny that Ganker championed this game for supposedly owning the hardcore left wingers, because my god lol for 18th century Scotland this game sure does have a lot of nubians, homosexuals and trannies.
Im playing it right now, i'd say it has its moments but much of the talking between characters feels emotionless and theres a bit to much meaningless sidequests that just kinda drag on and on.
The beast, plants and potion stuff is fun but after a while it just becomes a production of endless resources but with only small limited room for all the shit.
The room expands to become pretty large as you do more quests for it.
>too much side content
I don't know if I'd say there's too much, but yeah I definitely just skipped everything that didn't seem interesting to me, after a while. Maybe missed a couple surprisingly good quests, but oh well. I'm not gonna be every random homosexual's errand boy.
Oh yeah I know about the expanding room, I've pretty much got a full factory of potions stations, pots, gem makers, fertilizers.
Think I've got 1 more beast room to unlock.
After a certain point you can just be op as hell against most enemies. >unlock 2x cabbages >do the talent points in edurius and dmg potion boosts >wear some items with boosts to shit like the Slice or any of the fire/dmg spells >mfw can wipe out the entire goblin species in 2 minutes

I make Voldemort look like a little b***h, and I'm only 16 or something
potions and plants are extremely broken if you put points into them. they probably thought nobody would bother using them so they made alll strong as frick.
because my male brain goes "woah she looks good I want to sex and will withstand any weird quirks or comments"
if she was fat or ugly this wouldn't happen (same thing happens the other way around too, why do you think women cries about abuse years after the relationship ends)
People will talk about this shit when it's old enough for nostalgia too. If you want to find users talking about the game look for communities that obsess over it or just go to social media or gaming platforms/sites, search for the game and sort by newest.

Anyone who plays video games as a hobby is too busy playing great video games from their inception to current day to just obsess and post about one single one endlessly, so obviously they'll move on to the next, doesn't mean the game they beat was bad just that there's an ever expanding amount of games to experience out there. Only people who live to b***h about video games and never actually play them are unable to get this
When morons only read Harry Potter they got rightfully made fun of, but mongoloid Gankertards like you try to say that having an autistic laser focus on one game is somehow a good thing. Play more video games homosexual
Page 7 1 post? I browse this site an unhealthy amount and its been nothing but goyslop spam for a while now anon. I wouldn't consider the odd planescape thread when the constellations align to be considered active discussion
THIS. I HATE these types of moronic threads. When you're done with a game, you're DONE. It has nothing to do with the quality of the game, THERE IS JUST NOTHING MORE TO DISCUSS.
Threads are legit comfy and it's not like the same anons are constantly posting there. Also from time to time new KS adjacent content is being released so there's that.
How do you explain that Witcher 3, a much older game, based on the IP of a rather obscure fantasy series compared the HP colossus, has more players than Hogwarts?
They're both singleplayer. What gives?
>self insert by one of the fat ugly writers who grows succulents and collects crystals and treats seedlings as a replacement for biological babies >claimed lesbianism as soon as males took an interest in her character
Hogwarts Legacy was a decent 7/10 game carried hard by it's license to an 8 but it did the world a great service by exposing normalgays to how mentally ill troons are.
Same. I don't hate people with Gender Dysphoria just so we're all on the same page here, but man, I fricking HATE trans-trenders and narcissistic trannies who insist on being referred to as "non-binary" or "genderfluid"
try the game in different languages, its bizarre. for that character, some languages are a woman, and some are literally swarthy sounding men, and english sounds like an ai voice. it will leave you even more confused.
Never thought about it but it makes sense, some countries and territories wont tolerate that shit 1 bit and ultimately the israelites have to make a shekel any way they can.
Same shit with Disney going full moron with chinese exclusive cuts of movies and removing blacks from all posters.
No one intelligent thinks it will flop, but it is still a garbage game just Bethesda fans are like blizzard fans and will gobble up any slop they are given. They have legions of people who work to fix their atrocious fricking games.

alternatively, the game isn't very good and that's why people don't talk about it. like apart from the combat, which is still very gimmicky, what does the game do well? the castle looks good? there's a dragon in it? i guess, but that's it
Game's a fricking theme park, there's not much to remember. It had potential with that combat, but nope, they made all quests mind numbing and the main story sleep inducing garbage.
I'm honestly surprised we haven't gotten at least. >Quidditch and games/QoL other small content patches and side stuff >Additional Director's Cut/ new paths in the story, side missions, decisions etc. Blood and Wine, Iki Island, Phantom Liberty style new story campaigns
announced so far? It clearly sold well, they could do more of the Wizarding World setting in an open world game like this. Seems odd not to cotinue to support it.
I looked up sales of august 2023 and you'd be surprised. Some of this shit is pretty funny too
>diablo 4 still selling like hotcakes >elden ring still up there >random ass star wars games >remnant fricking two been riding the top for months now
Especially the remnant II thing surprised me. I did not realize this game was such a massive gigantic success
I pirated it AND modded out the troony. There are multiple mods on the bad boy mod sites to change her appearance and voice. But the voice is what really bothered me, didn't even try to sound like a woman, just a man in a dress huskily whispering to me.
Picking up the game to play once in a while is different to continuous generals for 11 years talking about nothing anon. You need help moving those goalposts btw they must be heavy.
Again, pretty sure it's not the same anons posting in the general. I only go and post after replaying KS, once every few years.
You need reading comprehension.
I'm not sure you are a good judge of reading comprehension anon. You are in fact the Black person that assumed not participating in a Ganker general thread meant not liking the game.
Goalposts aren't even on the court anymore. No anon I don't visit generals for games where any and all meaningful discussion has been exhausted. It's ok though I understand its your Autism and these threads are comforting for you.
Chances are they have the different people recording their voices say the shit differently.
Assassins Creed Odyssey comes to mind with the way the brother sounds compared to the Sister.
Same exact lines but said completely differently.
>make your own indoor garden to grow plants to make potions >not long later you get hopping pots that automagically just make potions for you, no ingredients required
what was the point of growing plants then? i would rather have magical ornamental plants that give off light or something or have butterflies flying about.
>Hopping pots >can only have 3 >takes 10 minutes to give 1 random potion
Vs >potion tables >as many as you can have room for >each table can do 3 potions at a time >each potion only takes a max of 2 mins to make
By the time you're even to the fall period of the game you're swimming in resources
I have no intention to play this game but ive painted her bush like 5 or 6 times now, once in a Wendy's cosplay and am probably going to do it several more times because redheaded magic plant lesbian is like classical painting subject matter 101.
The most disappointing thing about this game is how all of the professors are barely developed as characters. The headmaster, barely developed. Even Fig has basically no character development but a chunk of dialogue and that's about it, we never get into any more depth or detail about any of these hogwarts people.
The fricking Groundskeeper had more character development than most of the others because of his questline.
Also, the point of being a Hogwarts student but you do hardly anything of interest or note in Hogwarts itself, and there's only 3 secrets to find in the entire castle. It's just really disappointing.
The game itself is also remarckably average and the "open world" is complete and utter trash. I did laugh at the fact that I probably killed hundreds more people than Voldemort ever killed lol, and you can even use Avada Kedavra with no consequences lol
I liked that the MC was a complete psycho even if wasn't intentional >murder a bunch of goblins >"you got what you deserved" or "blame ranrok for your death" >welp time to go help sebastian continue down his path towards being a dark wizard
Fig was originally the twist villain btw but I guess they walked that back because he's your Dumbledore/Hagrid figure.
I wouldn't say the professors are bad they just should've been developed more. What backstories they did get were decent but it's really just them giving exposition it's not doled out in an interesting way. And yeah another criticism I had was how much focus they put on the open world I couldn't give a shit about outside of Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest really. The castle needed more secrets. There are barely any secret passages portrait shortcuts.
>Fig was originally the twist villain
I'm glad they dropped that because I was expecting it to happen. It's more surprising that he was exactly what he appeared to be.
Idk it feels like a late change. So when it happened it felt less satisfying and more like a last minute rewrite. Personally I wouldn't have minded because Fig is your mentor figure so for him to betray you is at least different to the Potter books where it's always the Dark Arts teacher who's usually got something off about them already.
The game could've used some kind of twist villain. The story is missing that mystery element HP had. There's some intrigue but most of the characters turn out to be who they appear.
Well I still like it but it could've used an expansion or something. But I assume they said frick DLC and are pulling a Zelda TOTK where they just add the new features and stuff to the sequel but it's the same basic map.
I've recently been playing it.
My problem is that classes don't really exist. A day/night system is there but it doesn't do anything, Hogwarts castle is actually disappointingly small and most of the game is wandering the greater grounds.
I can't help but feel like I was led astray.
The castle's not small but it's not huge either. I noticed they scaled it down slightly compared to the film castle and didn't use all the space. I think some of that is the devs not wanting to make the place so big that players get lost but also they wasted a load of time crafting a generic open world.
I think the big issue is that they treated Hogwarts more like a hub/home where you upgrade your abilities in classes and hang around a little before going back out into the open world, instead having Hogwarts be the center of the adventure. There wasn't as much awe there. They tried to make Hogwarts more familiar and I think it should be a bit big, labyrinthian and unknowable. There's no sense of danger there like there is in the books like when you find the three-headed dog and stuff.
I guess that's a better way of putting it.
It's just sort of surprising how little mystery there is in Hogwarts Castle when I figure that would have been a huge selling point. Just really feels like a missed opportunity in general with this game.
I mean I wouldn't call it shit, it's perfectly serviceable for what it is. Really makes you wonder what it could have been like in different stages of development.
The first proper scene in Hogwarts including them very loudly saying NO QUIDDITCH EVER makes me think it has to have been planned given they have broom mechanics but they couldn't get it into the final project.
Quidditch is moronic, and when I found out Rowling's inspiration was her zoning out every time guys would start talking about futbol around her and I realized it was always supposed to be a joke.
Don't take it wrong, I'm just a grump about it. I was never really into harry potter, but when the last few movies were coming out I dated a girl who was, and it kind of grew on me because of her.
I'm just annoyed by any setting with magic where there aren't any consistent rules or logic and I get all autistic thinking about better ways you could do literally everything.
Everything I saw of the devs talking about the game suggested they wanted to make Hogwarts more of this homely comfy place and it is that to a degree even in the books/films but it's also mysterious and dangerous. That's the wizarding world in general. I think you can fall into the trap of making it too much like a glorified theme park and it loses it's edge.
And again I think this is backed up by them chickening out of making Fig the villain. They didn't want the Hagrid figure who takes you on your wizarding journey to betray you, but I think then the story loses some of it's edge and doesn't have enough twists. TL:DR across the board whether it's designing Hogwarts or writing the story the devs should be less handholdy and let the game have more mystery and darkness.
I unironically thought this while playing as a male Ravenclaw. Sebastian and Ominis are your main homies and nobody wants a sausage fest plus there's no way they're bringing a non-house member into all these secret slytherin areas.
gmae was fun while it laster but I hope the pre-quel is finally bully 2 + a dating sim
And they keep it more Focused on Hogwarts. Frick running around all over the place.
Merlin Trials were the most tedious boring shit ever and I hope the sequel drops them. Hopefully they listen to the criticisms of the first game and the sequel is actually a big improvement instead of doubling down on things everyone hated.
They were fine at first but after realizinf it's the same 10 things over and over with very little mixing of multiple spells for one trial, they became kinda lame. stiol did all of them.
>See thread. >"Hell yeah lets see them lewds." >Scroll through the thread with growing disappointment.
Harry Potter Black folk fell the frick off, a couple years ago a phone game character was getting drawgay art, like anons would die of cancer aids if they didn't draw her, and I can't get a single lewd of the Hairy Ginger Bush Professor in a thread with her as the OP. Wasted space, honestly.
It doesn't reach its full potential, but I unironically think it has better variety than most other Ubisoft and Ubisoft-like games. The fact this developer only made Disney tie-in shit before is also impressive
It wasn't a complete disaster. The combat was surprisingly decent and people liked some of the characters (mainly Sebastian). People wanted a walk around Hogwarts simulator and they got it. Obviously for a sequel they need to deliver something more immersive. I heard they cut things like the morality system and minigames so I think now they've laid the foundations they can actually fill the world with more detail.
>people liked some of the characters
Poppy, Sebastian, and Ominis were great. Even some of the minor characters like the dorky Gryffindor kid were alright. The black chick was a huge miss and I don't remember her name.
Yeah all of the Slytherins were good. And some of the teachers had personality but they don't get to do much. It didn't reach it's full potential but it's a promising start if they're making a sequel and they bring these characters back.
They might end up recasting some characters though because apparently a lot of them did their recording before the JK Rowling controversy and they had to publicly come out and say this. So I wonder if the actor/actress who voices the MC or others will even come back for fear of backlash.
Due to massive amounts of inbreeding, wizards tend to be very close-kin and inter-marry like european royals did. They weren't supposed to be hot and pretty characters at all, they were supposed to be dysgenic freaks most of the time in the books.
They needed to cut the open world and focus on the school life. As it is every character gets maybe one side quest and then you never speak to them again. That's why the game was forgotten a month after release.
If it had dating, classwork, time management such as choosing between practicing dueling or charms, pranks/bullying and prefects giving you detention, etc, it would have been the biggest game of the year.
You JUST know she's a good teacher.
It was a terrible game

then don't do those quests lol
Yeah let me just walk around at the Hogwarts Castle instead.
What are you talking about? Go do something you want to do instead of just walking around, or doing quests that don't interest you
Those are rpg elements but there is very little roleplaying to be found. It's a glorified open world action adventure game with SOME rpg mechanics.
>the only people who disliked a game where you're a student at a wizarding school are unjustified for wanting to be a student at a wizarding school.

Maybe, but it's well done and to fun to play, while still allowing for some technical skill by setting up different spell combos based on the environment/enemies/not using forbidden spells in front of teachers/etc, and being able to switch between sets of spells in combat. Already makes it more complicated than Batman, even if the core idea is similar.
The combat is not challenging. You don't need to do any of that shit. You can just spam a few spells to win
Sure you can also just mod in invincibility and instakill. Why play the game then?

The beast, plants and potion stuff is fun but after a while it just becomes a production of endless resources but with only small limited room for all the shit.
The room expands to become pretty large as you do more quests for it.
>too much side content
I don't know if I'd say there's too much, but yeah I definitely just skipped everything that didn't seem interesting to me, after a while. Maybe missed a couple surprisingly good quests, but oh well. I'm not gonna be every random homosexual's errand boy.
Oh yeah I know about the expanding room, I've pretty much got a full factory of potions stations, pots, gem makers, fertilizers.
Think I've got 1 more beast room to unlock.
After a certain point you can just be op as hell against most enemies.

potions and plants are extremely broken if you put points into them. they probably thought nobody would bother using them so they made alll strong as frick.
>everything we consume is disposable unnoteworthy slop not even worthy of being spoken about for a month AND THAT'S A GOOD THING
Just make a fricking thread like a normal person.
why is it okay when women do it?
because my male brain goes "woah she looks good I want to sex and will withstand any weird quirks or comments"
if she was fat or ugly this wouldn't happen (same thing happens the other way around too, why do you think women cries about abuse years after the relationship ends)
Wdym I have a neighbor that’s a plant autist and sells plants and shit and he’s the same
Plant people tend to be nice
I used to work with a guy whos only real hobby was plants, he'd grew his own potatoes and the like, i miss he
Malding troon thread.
I'd savor that Garlick for hours if you know what I mean.

Back around launch some Anon pointed out that she looks like a Shrek background character and I still can't unsee it
She has a great design.
I'd fertilize her shrubs myself, if you get my meaning
People still talk about Planescape Torment, Beethoven's 9th symphony, and Citizen Kane. I don't think any of that media gets battle passes or DLC.
>he didn't buy the Beethoven dlc
People will talk about this shit when it's old enough for nostalgia too. If you want to find users talking about the game look for communities that obsess over it or just go to social media or gaming platforms/sites, search for the game and sort by newest. The same goes for every single game that doomposters will try and downplay because their basketweaving nihilist trendgayging board stops having daily threads about whatever game they're b***hing about now
Anyone who plays video games as a hobby is too busy playing great video games from their inception to current day to just obsess and post about one single one endlessly, so obviously they'll move on to the next, doesn't mean the game they beat was bad just that there's an ever expanding amount of games to experience out there. Only people who live to b***h about video games and never actually play them are unable to get this
When morons only read Harry Potter they got rightfully made fun of, but mongoloid Gankertards like you try to say that having an autistic laser focus on one game is somehow a good thing. Play more video games homosexual
Whole lot of text just for you to be gay, wrong, and moronic.
When was the last time a planescape torment thread graced this board you fricking Black person I'll wait
Thursday.
Page 7 1 post? I browse this site an unhealthy amount and its been nothing but goyslop spam for a while now anon. I wouldn't consider the odd planescape thread when the constellations align to be considered active discussion
THIS. I HATE these types of moronic threads. When you're done with a game, you're DONE. It has nothing to do with the quality of the game, THERE IS JUST NOTHING MORE TO DISCUSS.
moronic take
Dumb Black person
not an argument
>Katawa Shoujo Black folk in disbelief
Over 3k generals on /vg/ it must be hard for them living with autism that potent.
Threads are legit comfy and it's not like the same anons are constantly posting there. Also from time to time new KS adjacent content is being released so there's that.
There are other VNs and KS certainly isn't the richest when it comes to content, besides Rin is best girl nuff said
>riBlack person too autistic to understand
It checks out
>RiBlack person well adjusted enough to enjoy the experience and move on
Fixed that for you, it's ok to let go anon
Them and the Danganronpa homosexuals are just infected with brain worms at this point.
It wasn't very good and the only reason it was discussed here was because "pwn da twannies"
is there ANYONE in this game with an actual Aryan phenotype?
No one cares
>aryan phenotype
There’s a couple of pajeets I think
haha funni chud meme
THIS. So much THIS! Anon really F'd around and Found out XD
How do you explain that Witcher 3, a much older game, based on the IP of a rather obscure fantasy series compared the HP colossus, has more players than Hogwarts?
They're both singleplayer. What gives?
slavs are still playing gothic. They stick to their favorite games like flies
witcher 3 is in a different universe quality wise compared to shitwards
not a rocket science to figure this out you homosexual...
I'm surprised they didn't do an online multiplayer mode with endless microtransactions and have a perpetual cash cow
homie theres an entire Harry Potter game general that obsesses over the game. What are you talking about
We got Magic Awakened for that
They spent all their money on making a frickin solid world and hogwarts castle.
OP is a moronic child who struggles with object permanence.
not an argument
Not a debate club.
not an argument
i was thinking about it not too long ago but i forgot why. I didn't even play it
If I wasn't addicted to two other games, I'd be going for 100% in HL. It's a solid 8/10 game but more than that, it's a 10/10 Harry Potter game
>lesbians in 1800 england
It's not talked about on Ganker because cult of the new.
It's not talked about elsewhere due to performative politics.
>self insert by one of the fat ugly writers who grows succulents and collects crystals and treats seedlings as a replacement for biological babies
>claimed lesbianism as soon as males took an interest in her character
lesbianism as soon as males took an interest in her character
wow, that really stopped everyone from jacking off to her didnt it
Hogwarts Legacy was a decent 7/10 game carried hard by it's license to an 8 but it did the world a great service by exposing normalgays to how mentally ill troons are.
I know terminally online trannies have done more to get me to hate the trans community than anything Republicans ever did.
Same. I don't hate people with Gender Dysphoria just so we're all on the same page here, but man, I fricking HATE trans-trenders and narcissistic trannies who insist on being referred to as "non-binary" or "genderfluid"
Still catch people asking about the ugly b***h that runs the bar that sounds more like a man than all the other male characters.
they felt obligated to do some kind of damage control, but it may have backfired
try the game in different languages, its bizarre. for that character, some languages are a woman, and some are literally swarthy sounding men, and english sounds like an ai voice. it will leave you even more confused.
oh shit I never considered how they handled it in different languages. sounds unintentionally hilarious
Never thought about it but it makes sense, some countries and territories wont tolerate that shit 1 bit and ultimately the israelites have to make a shekel any way they can.
Same shit with Disney going full moron with chinese exclusive cuts of movies and removing blacks from all posters.
Yet there are constant New Vegas threads on here.... moron
That is because obsidiot cultists infest this board
>wizard game flopped
nope
Sisters...we can't let J.K. Rowling keep getting away with it...
no how can it be a massive success when Ganker isn't making autistic threads about it 24/7 this can't be happening..
You have to remember that these are the same people who think starfield flopped just because Ganker isnt deepthroating its wiener
No one intelligent thinks it will flop, but it is still a garbage game just Bethesda fans are like blizzard fans and will gobble up any slop they are given. They have legions of people who work to fix their atrocious fricking games.
It's not HER game though, she's just a side character.
alternatively, the game isn't very good and that's why people don't talk about it. like apart from the combat, which is still very gimmicky, what does the game do well? the castle looks good? there's a dragon in it? i guess, but that's it
Game's a fricking theme park, there's not much to remember. It had potential with that combat, but nope, they made all quests mind numbing and the main story sleep inducing garbage.
I'm honestly surprised we haven't gotten at least.
>Quidditch and games/QoL other small content patches and side stuff
>Additional Director's Cut/ new paths in the story, side missions, decisions etc. Blood and Wine, Iki Island, Phantom Liberty style new story campaigns
announced so far? It clearly sold well, they could do more of the Wizarding World setting in an open world game like this. Seems odd not to cotinue to support it.
They're working on a sequel. I'm sure they were expecting the game to do well but not the giant success it was.
>Flopwarts has flopped
shocker, I know
Maybe next time don't alienate normal people by being transphobic
but in reality
it kinda sucked. Flying around on the broom was cool.
Poppy a cute.
my b wrong pic
>threesome
woah kinkee
it does help that the game is bland and forgettable
OP is a moronic homosexual troon, the game still peaks at around 10k daily concurent players.
Dumb Black personhomosexual
I looked up sales of august 2023 and you'd be surprised. Some of this shit is pretty funny too
>diablo 4 still selling like hotcakes
>elden ring still up there
>random ass star wars games
>remnant fricking two been riding the top for months now
Especially the remnant II thing surprised me. I did not realize this game was such a massive gigantic success
Getting so close to just stating the facts which is Ganker is not a good source for public opinion
Of course it isn't, Ganker is always wrong
>AC number 2 on a best seller list
what a time to be alive
the industry really is wacky nowadays. a CRPG has been up there too although I think it just got pushed off
>morons buy woke game with literal trannies in it to own the troons
>realize it's shit
Congrats, you got played. I hope you at least pirated it.
I pirated it AND modded out the troony. There are multiple mods on the bad boy mod sites to change her appearance and voice. But the voice is what really bothered me, didn't even try to sound like a woman, just a man in a dress huskily whispering to me.
>just a man in a dress huskily whispering to me
Pretty realistic representation I say. They went all out for it.
>her
Excuse me, I'm used to her actually being a woman (female) in my game
>tfwywn prune and fertilize her shrubs growing a very large sprout in her belly
What?
>riBlack person doesn't pick up the game every now and again to replay it
seems like you didn't like it anon
Picking up the game to play once in a while is different to continuous generals for 11 years talking about nothing anon. You need help moving those goalposts btw they must be heavy.
Again, pretty sure it's not the same anons posting in the general. I only go and post after replaying KS, once every few years.
You need reading comprehension.
I'm not sure you are a good judge of reading comprehension anon. You are in fact the Black person that assumed not participating in a Ganker general thread meant not liking the game.
>he doesn't visit generals when replaying an old game
Weirdo
Goalposts aren't even on the court anymore. No anon I don't visit generals for games where any and all meaningful discussion has been exhausted. It's ok though I understand its your Autism and these threads are comforting for you.
>same dialouge
>girl sounds super flirty with sebastian
>guy doesn't
how's that work
Chances are they have the different people recording their voices say the shit differently.
Assassins Creed Odyssey comes to mind with the way the brother sounds compared to the Sister.
Same exact lines but said completely differently.
female VA went into the recording booth with the intention of letting everyone know the MC is a heterosexual.
>make your own indoor garden to grow plants to make potions
>not long later you get hopping pots that automagically just make potions for you, no ingredients required
what was the point of growing plants then? i would rather have magical ornamental plants that give off light or something or have butterflies flying about.
>Hopping pots
>can only have 3
>takes 10 minutes to give 1 random potion
Vs
>potion tables
>as many as you can have room for
>each table can do 3 potions at a time
>each potion only takes a max of 2 mins to make
By the time you're even to the fall period of the game you're swimming in resources
I have no intention to play this game but ive painted her bush like 5 or 6 times now, once in a Wendy's cosplay and am probably going to do it several more times because redheaded magic plant lesbian is like classical painting subject matter 101.
The most disappointing thing about this game is how all of the professors are barely developed as characters. The headmaster, barely developed. Even Fig has basically no character development but a chunk of dialogue and that's about it, we never get into any more depth or detail about any of these hogwarts people.
The fricking Groundskeeper had more character development than most of the others because of his questline.
Also, the point of being a Hogwarts student but you do hardly anything of interest or note in Hogwarts itself, and there's only 3 secrets to find in the entire castle. It's just really disappointing.
The game itself is also remarckably average and the "open world" is complete and utter trash. I did laugh at the fact that I probably killed hundreds more people than Voldemort ever killed lol, and you can even use Avada Kedavra with no consequences lol
I liked that the MC was a complete psycho even if wasn't intentional
>murder a bunch of goblins
>"you got what you deserved" or "blame ranrok for your death"
>welp time to go help sebastian continue down his path towards being a dark wizard
Fig was originally the twist villain btw but I guess they walked that back because he's your Dumbledore/Hagrid figure.
I wouldn't say the professors are bad they just should've been developed more. What backstories they did get were decent but it's really just them giving exposition it's not doled out in an interesting way. And yeah another criticism I had was how much focus they put on the open world I couldn't give a shit about outside of Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest really. The castle needed more secrets. There are barely any secret passages portrait shortcuts.
>Fig was originally the twist villain
I'm glad they dropped that because I was expecting it to happen. It's more surprising that he was exactly what he appeared to be.
Idk it feels like a late change. So when it happened it felt less satisfying and more like a last minute rewrite. Personally I wouldn't have minded because Fig is your mentor figure so for him to betray you is at least different to the Potter books where it's always the Dark Arts teacher who's usually got something off about them already.
The game could've used some kind of twist villain. The story is missing that mystery element HP had. There's some intrigue but most of the characters turn out to be who they appear.
Well I still like it but it could've used an expansion or something. But I assume they said frick DLC and are pulling a Zelda TOTK where they just add the new features and stuff to the sequel but it's the same basic map.
I've recently been playing it.
My problem is that classes don't really exist. A day/night system is there but it doesn't do anything, Hogwarts castle is actually disappointingly small and most of the game is wandering the greater grounds.
I can't help but feel like I was led astray.
The castle's not small but it's not huge either. I noticed they scaled it down slightly compared to the film castle and didn't use all the space. I think some of that is the devs not wanting to make the place so big that players get lost but also they wasted a load of time crafting a generic open world.
I think the big issue is that they treated Hogwarts more like a hub/home where you upgrade your abilities in classes and hang around a little before going back out into the open world, instead having Hogwarts be the center of the adventure. There wasn't as much awe there. They tried to make Hogwarts more familiar and I think it should be a bit big, labyrinthian and unknowable. There's no sense of danger there like there is in the books like when you find the three-headed dog and stuff.
I guess that's a better way of putting it.
It's just sort of surprising how little mystery there is in Hogwarts Castle when I figure that would have been a huge selling point. Just really feels like a missed opportunity in general with this game.
I mean I wouldn't call it shit, it's perfectly serviceable for what it is. Really makes you wonder what it could have been like in different stages of development.
The first proper scene in Hogwarts including them very loudly saying NO QUIDDITCH EVER makes me think it has to have been planned given they have broom mechanics but they couldn't get it into the final project.
Quidditch is moronic, and when I found out Rowling's inspiration was her zoning out every time guys would start talking about futbol around her and I realized it was always supposed to be a joke.
Hey frick you I remember the quidditch world cup game on the PS2 was actually fun.
Don't take it wrong, I'm just a grump about it. I was never really into harry potter, but when the last few movies were coming out I dated a girl who was, and it kind of grew on me because of her.
I'm just annoyed by any setting with magic where there aren't any consistent rules or logic and I get all autistic thinking about better ways you could do literally everything.
Everything I saw of the devs talking about the game suggested they wanted to make Hogwarts more of this homely comfy place and it is that to a degree even in the books/films but it's also mysterious and dangerous. That's the wizarding world in general. I think you can fall into the trap of making it too much like a glorified theme park and it loses it's edge.
And again I think this is backed up by them chickening out of making Fig the villain. They didn't want the Hagrid figure who takes you on your wizarding journey to betray you, but I think then the story loses some of it's edge and doesn't have enough twists. TL:DR across the board whether it's designing Hogwarts or writing the story the devs should be less handholdy and let the game have more mystery and darkness.
this game was just so massively disappointing when you left the castle and then you get the magic room that just makes house choice utterly worthless.
What're they going to do, make 4 different full game storylines based on your flavor of autism?
Maybe in the future as AI gets better, but that's just not practical for a team of humans with limited funding.
would have been cool if there was at least a couple exclusive quests for each house instead of just the jackdaw one.
If they'd stop insisting on voice acting for every fricking text box it would be fairly trivial to do.
The hippogriff the only beast you can ride around unless you pay for that overpriced costume pack for the threstral?
nah you also get this thing near the end of the game but it can only travel on land.
It's kind of fun to just smash through enemies with it but the animal mounts suck compared to just using the broom.
she got some good porn at least
Uh source?
source: dude just trust me
I was stuck here for like 15 minutes.
Is that the haunted shop quest? Too bad PC and xbone didn't get it, it was the best sidequest.
sex with professor garlick
I must profess I'd garlick her flutterby bush until the sun began to set.
female slytherin is the obvious choice for canon mc.
I unironically thought this while playing as a male Ravenclaw. Sebastian and Ominis are your main homies and nobody wants a sausage fest plus there's no way they're bringing a non-house member into all these secret slytherin areas.
She looks 14
Out of ten.
She is super young they mention it in the game that she only graduated from hogwarts a couple years ago.
is this game worth playing for any reason other than jerking off?
If you're a massive Harry Potter fan, yes.
If not, ehhhh no. It's pretty bland.
Just go on holiday to Edinburgh and visit Greyfriar's.
gmae was fun while it laster but I hope the pre-quel is finally bully 2 + a dating sim
And they keep it more Focused on Hogwarts. Frick running around all over the place.
With any luck this very thread causes more r34 of prof Garlick to happen.
Merlin Trials were the most tedious boring shit ever and I hope the sequel drops them. Hopefully they listen to the criticisms of the first game and the sequel is actually a big improvement instead of doubling down on things everyone hated.
They were fine at first but after realizinf it's the same 10 things over and over with very little mixing of multiple spells for one trial, they became kinda lame. stiol did all of them.
So did I because I wanted to platinum it. By the time I got to the last one I wanted to die.
I like the /aco/ thread.
The biggest surprise to me about all this is that 18th Century Britain was only 50% white
Dumbledore is a Hitler of hogwarts
For me, it was the moment when Professor Fig already had the polyjuice potion ready to go. That's when I knew he was my brother.
This desperate to maintain your cover, but I suppose that 50 cents means a lot to you.
How linear is this game? If its fairly sandbox like I might give it a go
It's not linear at all. There's a main questline, but after the beginning you can just ignore it if you want.
Neat, I've frick all else to play so guess it's magic troon time
Classic Rowling.

Thinking of a backstory / character for my student was more fun than the basic game.
>See thread.

>Scroll through the thread with growing disappointment.
Harry Potter Black folk fell the frick off, a couple years ago a phone game character was getting drawgay art, like anons would die of cancer aids if they didn't draw her, and I can't get a single lewd of the Hairy Ginger Bush Professor in a thread with her as the OP. Wasted space, honestly.
Has the performance on PC improved or has it plateaued?
Might re-installed because I never finished the game the first time around near launch
Goblin abuse simulator.
Can you abuse other students in that game? You can't be a true Slytherin without a few skeletons in your closet.
It doesn't reach its full potential, but I unironically think it has better variety than most other Ubisoft and Ubisoft-like games. The fact this developer only made Disney tie-in shit before is also impressive
It wasn't a complete disaster. The combat was surprisingly decent and people liked some of the characters (mainly Sebastian). People wanted a walk around Hogwarts simulator and they got it. Obviously for a sequel they need to deliver something more immersive. I heard they cut things like the morality system and minigames so I think now they've laid the foundations they can actually fill the world with more detail.
>people liked some of the characters
Poppy, Sebastian, and Ominis were great. Even some of the minor characters like the dorky Gryffindor kid were alright. The black chick was a huge miss and I don't remember her name.
Yeah all of the Slytherins were good. And some of the teachers had personality but they don't get to do much. It didn't reach it's full potential but it's a promising start if they're making a sequel and they bring these characters back.
They might end up recasting some characters though because apparently a lot of them did their recording before the JK Rowling controversy and they had to publicly come out and say this. So I wonder if the actor/actress who voices the MC or others will even come back for fear of backlash.
> Muh funny occupational pun!!!
> We are so harry potter OOOOOMMGGGOOODD!
did we ever find out why every npc in hogwarts legacy is cross-eyed?
Due to massive amounts of inbreeding, wizards tend to be very close-kin and inter-marry like european royals did. They weren't supposed to be hot and pretty characters at all, they were supposed to be dysgenic freaks most of the time in the books.
People were just desperate to find anything to be horny about in that game.
I warned people it wasn't going to have persona like romance.
poppy
i just want more games that let me kill poaching scum.
They needed to cut the open world and focus on the school life. As it is every character gets maybe one side quest and then you never speak to them again. That's why the game was forgotten a month after release.
If it had dating, classwork, time management such as choosing between practicing dueling or charms, pranks/bullying and prefects giving you detention, etc, it would have been the biggest game of the year.
I genuinely forgot the game existed until I looked through my library and spotted it again recently
