That's cool. Power of decent game, great branding, and strong advertising. I haven't played it, probably won't for a long time if ever. But that's cool.
Right on Schedule.
Not at all
The premisse of the game is such an obvious fit for GAAS
"Create your own student, take classes in Hogwarts and explore all the surroundings including Hogsmead."
Specially since people have been craving for a multiplayer HP game for more than a decade
Everyone knew that this game was going to be a hit. People have been waiting for a AAA Harry Potter game for such a long time.
It didnt have to reinvent the wheel. It just had to be good enough, and it was. Results speak for themselves.
And the fact that you non-ironically said this shows that your knowledge of gaming history is lacking.Everyone knew that this game was going to be a hit.
Got nominated for a Grammy at leastI think it's legit BS that it wasn't nominated for GOTY.
Portkey Games really went for it and nailed it. What they did was super impressive. TGA are probably worried about advertising being threatened from the collective screeching of the rejectera clowns.
Again, what a novice take.
Avalance Studio is new at making AAA games.
And now you want them to make a AAA based on an IP that has a history of bad to mid games.
On a concept of an open world universe that has never been attempted at that scale before in the franchise.
While also making sure the game systems are built for and work for a multiplayer environment.
And the fact that you non-ironically said this shows that your knowledge of gaming history is lacking.
And it still keeps on selling.It's so wild to see how much the gaming press has basically buried this game.
As someone who doesn’t give half a wet shit about the controversies of this game, thank you for making a post about the actual gameplay. I’m not really a HP fan (though I LOVE Wizard People Dear Reader), but it sounds like I would have fun with this game. I might grab it when it goes on sale.It’s a fantastic game. I think thanks to its… bare bones nature, the systems that are there are very well thought out and the game is never overbearing like open world games tend to be.
For the is reason, even if the story was just ok, I found the game very relaxing and just a good time. I couldnt put it down and I still get back to it.
The world (not just the castle) feels amazing. It’s not a simulation like gta. You just fly around, views are amazing, you adavakedavra some troll, continue to another view.
But mind you, side quests are very good and combat is excellent. And thank god they give you unforgivable curses even though they break the difficulty in half. That’s how it should be!!!
My fear is that they will get over their head and implement all too many systems in a sequel.
So the fact this is not in tga is shameless
Um, good? lolI find it hilarious that the WB game with the most potential for GAAS was a singleplayer game
It was a good game, but anyone with a brain knows that many casuals bought this game due to the Harry Potter IP
WB could have added online co op, more school minigames, quidditch and they could have made TONS of money (well, even more)
This game not having an online component and DLCs is the most idiotic decision of the generation so far
And yet they've ordered a GAAS game from Rocksteady
We have seen how with GTA. All of a sudden online becomes the main focus with SP becoming an afterthought.Cant think of how adding optional online co-op and more optional minigames and activities could be bad for your singleplayer experience
To me it's just a bad business decision to let the game die without further support
This meme always trips me out cause there's a local musician in my town who looks identical to that cartoon and embodies that lifestyle. It's kind of disturbing.GOOD. Take that Retardera.
I missed the boat on the Harry Potter bandwagon after the third book or so but damn, a lot of people got their dream game and rather than focusing on that it's weird that I forget it was released until I hear about some crazy milestone it achieved.And it still keeps on selling.
They have no power here.
Same thing with CyberpunkThe irony is that the game itself is actually fairly progressive.
Trans/non-binary friendly char creator, they/them pronoun usage, immigrant wizards from other countries telling their stories, trans and gay characters among other things.
I imagine the "keep politics outta my video games" crowd isn't pleased the above is included, but they'll cheer because the liberal crowd is triggered a JK Rowling product is doing well!
Basically the people enjoying the game the most are those that don't care one way or the other and are just happy to have a good game that takes place in Harry Potter's world.

Idk man. I really enjoyed my time with Hogwarts, it was very well done, but it’s just not in the tier of BG3, TOTK or even Wonder.Best game of the year imo and a fucking travesty that it hasnt been included in goty lists cos they dont want to upset the pansie brigade
I believe it’s called “cutting off your nose to spite your face”Everyone who boycotted the game not giving a shit how it affected the devs - people who love the franchise while going the extra steps for inclusiveness - lost their ability to complain about layoffs at all. This isn't a jab at supporting LGBTQ movement either, I support them, but fuck off with the hypocrisy of watching a whole company potentially go under just to spite an immensely successful author who is beyond hurting.
She's alright in my book.It’s not that Rowling even thinks that. This whole thing started with her just making an innocuous joke about “people who menstruate? Hm. If only we had a word for that”.
I have no doubt that she has nothing against trans people - her problem is radical activism and terminology management from a group that has imposed itself in the current discourse with self-id legal proposals (and that also sent her death threats).
Or in this case cutting the noses off a large group of people to hurt one then feign concern when suddenly there's a bunch of noseless people walking around.I believe it’s called “cutting off your nose to spite your face”
Tells you everything you need to know about "games journalism." Sad state of affairs, but who cares. Everyone knows what games are good when they play them.Imagine being the number 1 selling game and not getting a single nom because of cowards.
So I decided for shits and giggles to check the death rate, specifically suicide rates of this year and while they only go the Mar of this year so far, death rates went down from February to MarchI hope genocide was worth the blood money, disgusting.
I knew alex from digital foundry was hiding something, I FUCKING KNEW IT!

The ghost of Nazi Germany alive and well I see.Nah, you aren't even allowed to make a topic about it on their side of the pond
Tbf cyberpunk actually lost out on a lot of revenue especially as the game got deep sales from the start. But Hogwarts hit the ball out of the park from the get go.I haven't seen a boycott this successful since Cyberpunk
And not being nominated for goty awards means you can't trust anything in this industry.
