Hogwarts Legacy |OT| The Prisoners of AskforBan

Haha what? I'm pretty sure LEGO Star Wars last year did something crazy like 12 million sales. Spiderman for the PS4 did 35 million+.

This might end up being bigger, but it aint there yet.
That 33 million figure was Spiderman ps4 and Miles Morales combined.

Not Spiderman ps4 by itself.
 
Must be, fidelity with VRR and frame cap off is gorgeous on my sony x900h. If it wasnt for the kids i would of went with an OLED. Keep finding the tv on pause all the time with fixed images on youtube, disney+ etc.. Must of told them a million times to shut off the tv when they go do something else...

doesnt feel jittery with the cap off? I assume its under 48 fps most of the time so vrr doesnt even work on PS

Supposedly the latest PS5 Beta system software fixes VRR stutter for fps lower than 48... but I haven't tried it myself so can't confirm.

Yup an absolute new low for these mentally unstable people. Now they're going into twitch streams and posting spoilers in chat.

I have heard that Steam interferes with it it. Like you have to turn off PlayStation support. I have not messed with it yet.

Man, how fucked up in your head must you be to do something like that ? What is it with those people ?
They hijacked the entire hashtag. #HogwartsLegacy is currently trending not because of the game, but mostly because of people sharing spoilers and trying to make fun of the writing.


Oh and do NOT trust "spoiler free" stuff either. I saw one tweet start that way and ended with "but no for real **MASSIVE SPOILER** bigots lol"

Without spoilers, When you pick your wand at Olivander’s, are you stuck with that want outside changing the handle? The one I picked I didn’t like as much seeing it in real gameplay. I have a save from beforehand and would rather replay about an hour to pick a different one lol

I'm not sure, but if you're fine with it then go for it.

Better to do it now than let it bug you for the rest of the game.

Yup already got spoiled of a big plot point thanks to those assholes.
Yep me too. There was a tweet that started off with "First imps from a skeptic. **Spoiler Free**".


It ended with what I assume is a huge end of game spoiler "lol bigots" kind of thing. It's fucking ridiculous.

Huge Dark Souls 2 vibes from that Jackdaw mission.

A creepy magical cave filled with spiders including a bossfight with two huge spiders. Then a magic bridge and another bossfight with a bunch of statues and a second stage with a larger statue and a third stage with another two large statues.

That was crazy.

Combat really opens up after that. Talents are crazy :D
 
Careful on social media.


People are sharing HUGE spoilers on a massive scale because the game is reviewing well and are trying to ruin it for people before they get their hands on it.
Yep, rpg facebook group im in just deleted the hogwarts posts because the little fascists dipshits were posting spoilers in it

Collectibles and the collectible counter is bugged, if you’re going for 100% keep that in mind.

No.issues on mine, completed some of them.

Ive played this so much since Monday, as far as atmosphere and the general feel of the game its one of the best gaming experiences I can remember. The vibe of everything having magic around it, the feel of going into the countryside then back to home, its just brilliant.

Cant praise the devs enough for this, they absolutely nailed it whilst also putting their own touches into it. Creative geniises as far as I'm concerned.

It is so amazing how well balanced the game is. That mission was quite intense, and then you're back at Hogwarts and everything is whimsical and lighthearted and you get all these crazy upgrades and stuff.

I'm like 6 hours in and it still feels like the real game hasn't even begun.

There's so much depth to the combat. You can even combo / juggle opponents, it's crazy. And everything is so freaking polished, haven't encountered a single bug so far which is absolutely insane if you consider the scope of this game.

It's early but this is definitely a GOTY contender.

These shitheads have completely lost the script. Being jackasses to random audiences is not gonna win any points or empathy for what they're trying to accomplish. Sounds like a large number of people need to get offline, take a step back, look in a mirror, and reflect.

Just got the game hearing good things from some of my friends and I'm always open to playing a nice open world game. Hogwarts Legacy is rated T for transphobe

Okay if you gear slots are full [yes this is a thing that can happen], things you pick up from chests will disappear.

You'll get a message telling you your slots are full and you should do Merlin quests to unlock more slots, but the item you were supposed to pick up vanishes.

So especially when doing a dungeon keep track of your gear, and just delete the low-tier stuff.

I just rewatched the first movie for first time since it came out and it was fantastic... I think I like it more than when I was a kid

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Me and my son just watched it in 4K last night too. Still holds up.

That sucks. Aztecross is actually one of my favorite channels on YouTube with his Destiny 2 content.

Everything these lunatics have been doing is backfiring. I was planning on getting the game...now I'll buy the deluxe edition.

It does not seem like the PC version fully supports the PS5 controller. The controller speaker does not work. I suspect the haptic feedback is also not working.
So, I prefer the PS5 version.
Hopefully, they will patch it in.

There is some slow down in the PC version. Maybe a memory issue or that it needs a SSD.

So 10 hours in and just got to the flying. Man it was ALONG time ago I felt like this from a game. The need to explore, to just stop and listen to some violins playing some classical tunes, to collect stuff. It really is magical. The devs really nailed the feeling of the Hogwarts world. Lighthearted but still dark and deep enough for "us" adults to enjoy. Brilliant work just brilliant. I never want this game to end!

I legit had no idea people even used the speaker on the control.
 
Gear system is pretty bad, and the secrets are not very rewarding at all, but that’s not enough to keep it from being intrinsically fun. Overall it’s a charming and functional RPG with a lot of different spells and things to do. Between classes, main quests, spell unlock tasks, secrets, side quests, and world exploration, it’s staying very engaging throughout.

So would you recommend buying it now, or wait?

Whoof. Game crashed exactly as the Butterbeer peddler made their first appearance. Bad juju WB.

. . .also, for those HP fans, is pretty much everything in the game up to and including HOGSMEADE from the books or are they inventing new stuff? Because if this is all in the books, I can see why teens went ape for this back in the day.

Back when WOW was a thing, I ran around Ogrimmar screaming "SNAKE KILLS DUMMYDORE!" with zero context whatsoever just knowing it was going to ruin a lot of peoples day. Trolls are gonna troll.
