        These games were franchises exactly because they were good, people were excited about them for a long time and wanted more. No one really wants to see a "franchise" from a game that was just generic trash that got forgotten in a couple weeks. And yes, it's a HP licence yet it was forgotten so quick, despite all the shilling, clickbait and astroturfing. Crazy.

        Also if you wanna talk more - Hotline Miami, Hyper Light Drifter, Shovel Knight or Hollow Knight were all new indie IP's, yet they managed to gather a ton of excitement, long-lasting discussion and copycats.

    It's a single player game that a ton of people were talking about, and beat, within a month. There's no multiplayer or endless replay mode, so there's only so much you can discuss before you've talked about everything.
    Aside from /vg/ autists who make their own fanfiction with their and other peoples' OCs there isn't really anything to talk about that hasn't been discussed to death already.
    Maybe if some mod comes out that adds quidditch or multiplayer there'd be reason to talk about it again, but as it stands it's a decent single player game with no replayability.

    Literally nothing to do in it right now. It's a fine game, but it's kind of a low point for a Harry Potter themed game as people generally agree that it loses it's charm when you start to really explore the world outside of Hogwarts, not to mention it really lacks roleplaying value a school sim which is what people really wanted out of the game. Until DLC content is announced and the Haunted Hogsmeade Shop arrives on other systems, it's kinda stagnant right now.

      most of the singleplayers games are forgotten, few are remember even after years and even fewer leave a legacy after years or even decades. The game was very popular for a while, sold like 10 million on steam alone + PS5 and Xbox, 30 million or more.

      Not all of games need to leave a legacy moron, Skyrim will remember even in 2040, but nobody is going to remember spider-man, bg3 or sekiro.

      Nobody talks about those games regularly on Ganker though. There is absolutely nothing exceptional about the lack of discussion for HL than for any other triple A release like say TotK, GoW, Horizon etc. The only games from the last several years that had lasting threads for many months were games that had mockery and outrage attached to them, like TLOU 2 for instance. The only game in history that has had countless of threads and positive discussion on Ganker for months on end was Elden Ring.

    The thing is that the game offers little replayability so this is one of those games you beat and come back to several years later. The fact that you associate success with ""you just gotta talk about it a lot, copies (12 million copies) doesnt mean annnyytthiinngg!!!"" makes you look moronic. A game could fricking die in a week but if it sold 30 million copies the developers made a fricking hit and are SWIMMING in gold.

    I tapped out the moment I found out it wasn't a third person Sims/Bully set in Hogwarts. Thankfully I didn't need to buy the game to find out.

    I liked it, but the file size was too big to keep it around. Got like 5 hours in before I needed to make room for other games. What SSD size are you guys running?

    yeah cause it advertised itself as anti troony and then had a troony in its hour 3 (right after the limit for refunds runs out on Steam) and then half the quests somehow find a way to mention that troony. Every character has to have at least one line talking about IT.
    so everyone normal dropped it, and actual trannies and lefties were too invested in hating it to turn around and praise it
    it's kinda bad anyway
    just the fact that it's 1800s Hogwarts and everything looks completely different already makes it bad.
    You think I'm buying "Hogwarts Legacy" to walk around a castle that only somewhat reminds me of Hogwarts?
    You really think I want to play ANOTHER Arkham Knights auto-counter game?
    You really think I want to spend 40 hours listening to gays, trannies and lesbians (it's for real every quest)?
    BETRAAAAAAAAAAAYAL.
    B E T R A Y A L. Betrayed me.
    This game SUUUUUCKS.
    It has NOTHING to do with Harry Potter. NOTHING.

    I just wanted to play harry potter, and the shitty gacha mobile game is doing a better job of that currently.

    What the frick am I supposed to talk about? I played the game, enjoyed the meme pet breeding and exploring for useless clothing parts. Why would I ever suffer through the slog that is the beginning again?

    I think this game is actually outselling ToTK in the UK
