Resetera is not happy so many reviewers are giving it a fair and honest review.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I'm sure I still have few on PSN from when they was here, not sure how far down the Ree hole they went.
Although I haven't seen them come online for a while but I'll check to see if they've been playing it

The amount of blood on their hands for actually releasing this game...
Can't wait!

Reading their JKR thread is a blast, lots of social-epilepsy going around when they come across a review that doesn't put JKR on a blast, or heavens forbid, even mentions the hardships of transmogged people.

Moderated wildly
Can they even mention how upset they are?
Can't imagine what they are going to feel like when they see the sales numbers.

Glad it's reviewing well, means I didn't squander my money buying the deluxe edition for PS5. (I tend to squander quite a bit)
From everything I saw and read about the game up to this point, I knew I was going to enjoy putzing around in this universe. But there are two important things from the books/movies that are seemingly just completely ignored in this game. Morality was one of the main plot points in the series, you know, being a good guy or bad guy. In this game, it doesn't really seem to matter much. The other is the casting of the unforgivable curses. Those were a big deal in the books/movies, but in this game they are just spells you can cast with (apparently) no consequences. It seems the closest you can get to any kind of morality points in this game is picking the nice or snarky dialog choices. Though choosing snarky likely just burns a bridge for companion quests.
Now, it's not really going to affect my enjoyment of the game, but it does kinda change what being at Hogwarts was all about on a fundemental level and seems like something that was a missed opportunity by the devs to make your choices and actions have some weight.

Looking forward to digging in this week, February is absolutely stacked. Shout-out to the homegirl JK Rowling, nothing stopping the Harry Potter train *toot toot*.

They can mention it if they are hating on Rowling and the game.
Can't mention anything good about the game in the thread.

Wow, Nice scores.
Now the wait to see how well this runs on the SteamDeck. I plan to play it on the go.

This is going to be like cyberpunk where only ree mods are allowed to play it and anyone else who brings it up gets banned right?
Ree right now

Excellent reviews. Already have the digital deluxe preordered for the wife. The loud ones will be very angry but secretly playing this game on their own.

If the era folks want to play it, they should just get access to the era mods pedo discord server where they freely talk about the game.

Mods there suck, not perfect here either, but theres a lot less oversight and policing everything. I may get annoyed here by somethings but over there if you aren't 100% in lock step with the mods views, ban. I got banned because I defended Japanese games having bath house scenes as being culturally relevant even if US audiences didn't like them, and it was "defending sexism" or something. I agree with people there more politically there, but the bad moderation makes the site damn near impossible to have adult conversations. But the site is thriving so they trying to upkeep their reputation I guess.

CP2077 got the thread where people can fREEEEEEEEEly talk about it.
Hogwarts is banned altogether.

Hopefully someone here is in the Era Steam group. I want to see how many are playing this day one like that MW2 boycott screenshot.

Forspoken stars a black female protagonist and every single boss and significant character in this game is a woman. All men are either idiots or die
What good it did them lol ?
After the release of Hogwarts, they shoud really change the name to Forgotten. Hogwarts will for sure be geting sequels.

A win for the Devs, fans of the franchise, and people who just enjoy a good game.

During 2019-2020 they took a turn for the worst.. It wasn't so much banning people for their views, being assholes or trolls, but banning people for trying to have an actual educated discussion on a topic. I was banned there in relation to an incident that occurred between the kid and a cop. I simply asked, what had happened before the video started to trigger such an escalation.. That was viewed as "Whataboutism" and being somehow incentive towards a victim.
CONTEXT AND INFORMATION IS KING! 5 questions.. What, where, when, how and why!
A persons actions should always be judged not just by the action itself but by the context of the situation.

How many trans people are going to get slaughtered due to these reviews?

Delicious.
There is more talk about trans people and Era than there is talk about the game
Now on topic the game seems quite good, but from what I have read the pc performance may not be, people with no raytracing and RTX4090 at 4k everything else had fps as low as 45, no DLSS
I am thinking now on getting it on ps5

They're literally mad that Metacritic is displaying the score at the top of the page lol. They were hoping it would be in the middle or the bottom. They're totally delusional.They can't even tell they've bought or are planning to buy it
I think most of the ERA talk will be here and the OT will be strictly about the game. A fair trade off.

This game has caught the casuals' imagination. My sister is even talking about it.
I reckon it'll move some serious units given these very good (higher than expected) scores. I reckon some reviewers have given slightly lesser scores than normal too because of the J.K Rowling boycott crap. So 86 would be nearer 90 in a fair world? Tales from my ass but I would add a couple more to the MC average.

There is nothing that says unforgivable curses were unforgivable before Voldy’s war. Maybe the laws were only made after.
And morality systems himder storytelling, imo.

Yeah thats what I am leaning towards.. Maybe they lean into that fact you mention in the story itself.(I am going in blind outside of knowing the Potterverse)

They are only unforgivable if you are caught!

This is just the blowoff after talk about critics possibly reviewing the game unfairly due to pressure from REE types. Once the game drops people will discuss the actual game... at least I think.
