No one's waiting for reviews? Are most people fans or just buying it to trigger reddit/twitter?

I’m pro trans rights and I pre ordered it cause I enjoy Harry Potter’s world building . I’ll just match my buy with a 70$ donation to a trans rights organization. Most likely the Trevor project. A lot of people are jumping in to stick it to the libs tho. Silly reason to buy but the game would sell gang busters even without that.

 

[MadPanda]

I wonder how many on Reeeeee will be secretly preloading?

Only for the research.

It's silly to own the libs but you're donating to a trans charity for buying a game that isn't transphobic...?

The second someone links Hogwarts to ANYTHING transphobic you know it's time to hit that ignore button, logic doesn't apply to these loons

Don’t matter you can’t discuss it over there which means nobody can call another user out for playing it because you can’t discus it!

Except that witch hunts are allowed for wrongthinkers, even if related to the game-who-most-not-have-a-thread.

Nice that you can turn them off, but chromatic aberration and film grain have no place in vidya games.

Let's be real, on the internet you can kid yourself that some of the noisy stuff you see is more widespread than it really is.

Harry Potter and the broader wizarding world has a HUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEE fanbase. 99.9% will be buying this as a positive choice based on that, or what they've seen of the game

Hardly anyone, in reality, cares that deeply about the trans stuff. 0.1% will be buying this as an "anti-woke" statement.

Living with < 1TB drive in 2023 must suck hairy ass.

Edit: don't type too fast, kids.

Depends.

400mbps fiber 19,90€, 1000mbps 34,90€ month. Some areas have even cheaper options.

Also 1000mbps 5G are like 40-50€/month, that are tryly that fast.

So it doesnt take that long to download stuff, so small ssd isnt that Bad, depending of The country.

I have 1tb m2 on ps5 and samsung T7 1tb USB ssd as vault drive on series x. And Time between moving from usb to internal isnt much faster than download from online.

These dont apply if people still have data caps, we havent had them basically in many decades.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I'm ready

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Oh god, my aDSL internet is crying. Hope it's done downloading by the 7th, lol. Deluxe Edition preorders says it'll start downloading on the 5th.

Oh yikes. I had ADSL just until 2 years ago when FTTP was installed. Downloaded Modern Warfare which was around 80GB and it took 8 hours. You should be good providing you have a 12mbps connection.

Fuck dat Fidelity + Fidelity RTX shit. Just do 1 quality preset and 1 performance preset + options for vrr and 129 hertz displays. I don't want to decide between two fidelity modes. Hate it with all my guts.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Huh, so it does have ray tracing. Let's see how it performs on PC.

If it upsets you that bad just pretend that fidelity mode doesn't exist and just use ray tracing. Or if you hate ray tracing for some reason do the other thing. idk why you are hurt so bad over this

 

[TrebleShot]

Interesting performance modes, I was listening to a live stream of someone who has seen both modes in action and claimed there is a huge difference between performance mode and fidelity mode.

 

[MikeM]

Homies preordering before DF analysis?

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

I’ll donate 140 now…70 for me and 70 for you.

 

[ReBurn]

You don't have to preorder to install on Xbox. You just can't play until you pay.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Huh?! Then why did I pre- ord…returning rn.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Is the pre load live.

I'm ready. I've pre ordered.

Also, equal rights to all and do whatever you want in life and I hope you find love, living and laughter but I'm not personally cancelling this game based on an Internet mob.

 

[Mr Moose]

Pre-ordered the disc on Amazon today, waiting until the 6th to see if I'll keep it lol. Probably will, it looks really fun.

 

[Luipadre]

Damn 5 modes. Balanced is probably 40 fps mode, thats what im going for

You can pre-load on Xbox and could for about a week. No pre-order needed.

PS5 pre-loads for pre-orders are 48 hours before launch,

 

[Pagusas]

My dsl line is cowering in the corner. No PC preload …

probably because they are working on it till the very last moment. I expect the PC version to be a mess sadly

I hurt easily. I'm a soyboy.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Series X and S are one file, you can put it on an expansion card and just move it between the machines.

I do wish more third-parties handled the S like MS itself does with many of the first-party games, the storage savings is really nice. That said, 77GB isn't that bad for a big budget game today.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

This better be good!
Problem with review scores is that we need to account for anti JK Rowling bias.

But there will also be Harry Potter fanboys who rate higher.

 

[Krathoon]

The Playstation exclusive quest seems pretty cool. You have to exorcise a haunted shop.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Any idea of the steam unlock time for the 7th?

Only for the research.

reeesearch

Eat Slugs and die. Options are good.

Wishing death upon me? The fuck is wrong with you? And why slugs?

... Its a harry potter reference.

I never read or watched anything in this series but the wife preordered it on the series x with my credit card cause she's a super fan(she has the chest, cape, and a wand lmao). I practically had no choice

I'm gonna try it for a few mins but i'm more interested in if it lives up to all this hype people on here have been giving it.

 

[Krathoon]

Here is the Launch trailer.

 

[Krathoon]

I get the impression you are like a gifted student. Magic comes easy to you for some reason.

 

[Emedan]

You have ADSL internet in 2023.... Thank god for 1gbit Fiber

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

But there will also be Harry Potter fanboys who rate higher.

Hmm agree, but I think nostalgic fanboys can be expected to be somewhat objective; rabid SJWs on the other hand, never.

 

[smart_brazileiro]

.... Never seen the movies nor read the books. I'm getting this for my wife and my son.

 

[mrmustard]

Never understimate nostalgic fanboys. Like 90% of all exclusive games are overrated because of that.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I pre ordered for my 10 year old daughter ehos a huge fan it's one of the main things she asked for for Xmas so really I had to.

I'm hoping it turns out great and I can play it too.

I wish every game was cross play, so I could play on pc on the xbox store but I'm not sure that is the case. Sadge.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

May Allah bestow blessings upon you for your charitable givings.

 

[Krathoon]

Now my order is shipping on the 7th, hopefully earlier.

Here is some gameplay straight from Wizarding World.

[Swauny Jones]

I won't spoil it, but it's a slightly different scenario than that

 

[Swauny Jones]

I preordered for the exclusive content for preorders, and to give my kiddies the bragging rights they deserve for their friends at school LOL!! I hope there's a DF video out before launch just to add to the hype or kill it dead in the water before I start my playthrough

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Now my order is shipping on the 7th, hopefully earlier.

Here is some gameplay straight from Wizarding World.

The world doesn’t look very interactive. Seems almost like a nice museum with great art direction you really can’t touch.
