And now I have to pre-order. So happy to see such positive reviews. Nice job on the OT.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

Do we know if the dual sense features work on PC if I'm plugged in?

How the hell do you find time to do all of this?

How the hell do you find time to do all of this?

4 Years of Photoshopping copying and pasting lmao

 

[SCB3]

I can't seem to find a way to upgrade my Normal edition to Deluxe on Xbox, but excited to play

 

[Saber]

Thats some lame OT naming...loss the opportunity to roast reera a lot here

Anyway, thats the day where we forget all trouples and stand unite to play as wizards/witches, Avadra Kedrava everyone on the way before going to Azkaban

For all those who gonna buy Hogwarts, really hope you guys have fun.

If you have a better name, tell me then i will ask the mods to change it

 

[HotSauceEnema]

Got banned from a PC gaming discord just now for posting the opencritic results. The bigots are extremely upset that it's reviewing so well they will just have to cope and seethe more

 

[krumble]

Just finishing the prologue/intro
Won't spoil it, but probably one of the best prologues I've ever played, HEAVY on the story and lore, the controls, frame rate and gameplay so far seem good. Took a while with settings to get it how I wanted regards image quality and camera handling.
This is going to please A LOT of sceptical people

This OT:

Guess this is where I'll be hanging out the next couple of weeks.

Theres alot on the thread about naming OT. But don't take that much seriously though, I appreciate the well made OT. Thats whats matters, the presentation and info.

 

[Tommi84]

Look great I must say

(this is from a stream albeit on PC)

 

[worldwithpyramids]

There was a OT naming thread: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/give-me-your-best-thread-titles-for-the-hogwarts-legacy-ot.1651033/

I’ll put forth my entry again:

Hogwarts Legacy |OT| See that castle in the distance? You can go to school there.

Not that it matters what the title of this thread is. I’m just glad the game seems to be good.

 

[.Pennywise]

You should do your research first OP.

mortal was working on the OT as per the Official Topic request, to avoid these kind of stuff happening.

Hope his work isn't wasted.

Well, for the people worried about PC stutter, it looks perfectly smooth on this guy's stream. I mean, he has a 4090, but still. I wonder how well my 3090 will handle this game at Ultra settings.

 

[GHG]

Excited for Wizard Game.

 

[Banjo64]

I just want to spread the word that I’ll be playing this tonight thanks to nightmare-slain

Fuck it, I'm going to buy someone a copy of the game. Is there anyone in the United Kingdom who wants a free copy of the Deluxe Edition?

I will buy it for you right now on Steam, PS5, or Xbox Series (not PS4/XB1/Switch). If you're on Steam I'll gift it to you. If you're on console I'll send you £75 of codes to buy it as long as you promise you don't go and buy another game lol.

Game looks GOATed to me

 

[artsi]

GAF is going to get a sudden influx of new (or returning) users after these review scores lol

If the mods want to delete this and post mortal version instead i wont have a problem with it. Just ask him to give me a heads up and i will ask the mods to delete this....

Or just ask the mods to delete this and wait for him to post his own version instead. I wont have a problem with it either way.

I just noticed that it looks like mortal has already claimed this OT in the OT thread: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/the-official-topic-redux-ot-claim-your-game.1647445/#post-267250879

Not sure if they've already done the work or written anything for the thread yet. The OT normally goes up a day before release, but with the pre-order release I can see why that would lead to confusion. Perhaps Mortal will be glad you saved them some time, or perhaps they've already done a lot of work already and it's just not published. Either way, I'm sure the mods will likely sort it out. I think in the past they've asked two members interested in the same OT if they'd like to collaborate.

[edit] And I now see Mr. Wise already explained most of this.

 

[Gaiff]

Today is Monday, and it's time to do a little reset. Hogwarts Legacy is a AAA Harry Potter game, what an era we live in. I've never seen a Harry Potter game with this many polygons. Truly, this franchise has been transcendent since its inception.

Anyway, the sun is shining, it's the dead of winter so I don't need terfenadine for my allergies today, as such, I should have a blast when my pre-load goes live later this afternoon. For now, I will try ignoring spoilers and enjoy the game to the fullest.

Have a good day, y'all. *wink wink*

 

[Fools idol]

Wont be purchasing this until its on deep deep sale cause I have a backlog the size of your mum. Looks good, though.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Already seen a suspicious amount of new members on here...

If there is no discussion of the game allowed on ResetEra then some of them will be coming here or going elsewhere to talk about it.

Hey wait a minute now, my mom isn't...*checks mom's pictures*

What did you say the size of your backlog is?

 

[brian0057]

 

[Simo]

Nice OT!

Yes I'm from the other board but it's going to be nice to talk about the game without the threat of being banned. lol

 

[Thebonehead]

Jut pre-ordered on PC.

Fuck the Haters!

 

[Varnish La PS]

Great OT

My PS5 Pre-Order is damn ready.

Reporting from New Zealand and the XSX version on Balanced is amazing.

 

[New Mombasa]

Have been waiting for a moment like this my entire life

Xbox players right now

 

[Cyberpunkd]

How the hell do you find time to do all of this?

 

[Lyrical]

I am super excited about this game. Hopefully the beginning of many great Harry Potter games.

 

[ManaByte]

Oh this is GOTY. Going to sell so much to a flood of purple tears.

 

[Krathoon]

I went ahead and grabbed a PC copy on Green Man Gaming. It was on sale. I have to wait for it to unlock.

 

[ManaByte]

XSX version is in Atmos.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Here's a German video of the PC performance without the day 1 Patch. System is a 3080 Ryzen 5900x 32gb RAM playing in 1440p.
Yea... Hope they patch this.

I'm constantly doing this. As soon as I write an explanation the post just before it explains everything.

I have a bad habit of reading threads (and magazines) backwards. Maybe I was Japanese in a different life

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Ah now that’s a problem! Been toying with just ordering the deluxe edition so I get it tomorrow on PS5. Definitely avoiding that shitty looking PC port.

 

[TGO]

I was going to say I hope our Era friend pops up in the OT and there he is!
Bravo Draugoth
