I wonder if Vegas had odds on this? I was so tempted to go slytherin but I figured everyone would do that. Choose ravenclaw cause I don't know anything about them.
I ended up pairing up with a slytherin dude whose chill and a good companion so far. My housemates were a little lame so I'm glad my bf will be a slytherin

Looks like this game is going to crack into the top 10 CCU on steam before the official launch on friday. Their boycott really fucking backfired

It was in my inventory somehow shortly after I started. Not sure if this was a preorder bonus or in one of the few chests I’ve opened.

I can live with that, as long as they are not unskippable.

Lol, at night when out I put on my vigilante dark arts gear. Go saving folks. Daytime I’m an innocent student with glassesDoing my first wetwork at night, killing goblins and poachers. Serious Corinthian vibes from The Sandman.

Pretty much the early access... I wanted to get it ASAP because I don't like digital copies of games and worried about getting a copy since the demand for this game is so high.
There's a dark arts arena in the premium version, which I haven't done yet.

If we bitch about this enough, pretty soon the Era folks will buy the game in order to spite the “transphobes”
Lol I always make the ugliest freak I can but sadly this character creator only gives you a bunch of non-ugly presets… with the exception of scars. Man there are some gnarly ones. We were scrolling through like “hmm let’s see what they have to ch…oh Lord what in the hell happened to this poor guy?”
Anyway best I could do is pasty white dude with platinum blond cornrows + giant scar.

They are hemorrhaging users right now, and rightfully so, because they thought it would please a tiny group of malcontents. Yet the malcontents STILL aren't happy and the regular users are leaving because... its supposed to be a gaming forum.
Ya hate to see it.

I thought the same at first, but that guy is actually pretty ridiculous.
He titles nearly every review “a skeptics review of…” or some variation of that. Which is just annoying clickbait, I guess.
The bad part is he plagiarized a guy’s Dark Souls review a few years ago. Thing is, he won’t even pretend to come clean about it like the IGN guy who plagiarized. He just keeps denying.
Pretty lame that he still gets so many views without owning that.
And because of that, I feel emboldened to call out the super cringe bits of comedy he inserts into his videos. Lots of that “Wait - did I really just say that?” With a blank stare into the camera, followed by a forced laugh. Just the awkward kind of stuff you can’t imagine actually performing in front of a camera, alone in your room, without barfing.

Well, yeah, you can’t even really speak up to disagree over there, so they have no way of actually reading the room.

Yep, it's a horrible system. They have a members only post for "community feedback" but people are often banned for posts in there too, or if you ruffle some feathers in there they will mark you on a shitlist to ban later. Awful awful system.

So I'm out of the loop on the whole controversy surrounding this game, I'm not into silly bullshit like that.
But I gotta say, watching my wife enjoy this title as a long time fan of Harry Potter has been a treat. I know nothing of the world or it's lore but I'm completely engrossed in her adventure....and she's explaining everything, apparently it's all accurate to the source material. This game was clearly developed by a talented team and deserves all the praise for their amazing work.
Awesome game.

I think this is one of the most immersive open world games I have ever seen. You feel transported to that universe. And I say that even as a spectator watching someone else play.

But as a HUGE HP fan yeah the game is accurate to the source material. In many ways it does more justice to the books than the movies. Avalanche has done a great job of bringing the world of HP to life. It was a huge task considering we got such great movies and as much as I love the movies playing this game makes me hope we get many more games because it's top tier Harry Potter content.
I played the ever loving shit out of the original HP games on PS1/PS2/PS3 but this game.... oh man this game is excellent. It's what I've been dreaming of for literally decades now. From those early days of playing Philosopher's Stone on my PS1 this is what I wanted.

Been playing for almost 8hrs…. Man this game is a blast, haven’t even got the invso spell yet (next part of mission I’m on). Just keep getting side tracked with side quest and collecting…. And this is all in Hogwarts, haven’t gone outside yet save the wand making story mission.
Game is so engrossing…. Almost want to call off work to play more…. Who would have thought a non potter fan would be having such a good time.

Looking at the spell lists I'm surprised that it looks like we can use the unforgivable curses.
So you're telling me that I can start this game off as an innocent 5th year student learning magic and can eventually go around controlling, torturing, and murdering people?
That shit is daaaark and I can't wait to play more to see how the story goes.

All this hype and the great reviews got me - I actually couldn't contain myself and bought the deluxe edition today (PS5, physical) so I can play it early..

Too bad. I guess there will be no Kyuuji playthrough of the game on that forum like she did with Cyberpunk 2077.

Tu be sure I understand - the hogsmeade dlc is not a preorder bonus but an exclusive DLC right?
If I get the game on PS5 in a month I will still have it for free?

Can't wait for MOBA Fire to find out they're intentionally sabotaging the ad impressions for the biggest game and ad campaign of 2023. They won't be happy. Might even pull the plug on their hosting. Would be a shame.

Yes it's for anyone who buys the PS5 version.

It's just an exclusive side-quest (and shopkeeper costume cosmetics) about a haunted shop in Hogsmede. It's exclusive to PS until February 2024.

Yes. The Hippogrif is the pre-order DLC.

Hullo there !
I've been very suspicious about this game, notably because Avalanche Studios has never worked on anything impressive and that i saw poorly PC optimised & polished game coming.
Now hesitating because i see lots of good players feedbacks (though i still think they may be largely OP because of how popular the world and universe is and how subjective can fans be, no offense to anyone that's just facts =) ).
So here are my questions : Do you see this game be entertaining in the long run, once the "discovery" fades a bit ?
Is the story okayish or meh ?
And at last, which is the most important to me : is the interactivity in the world consequent ? I don't want to play a new Ubisoft Open world type of games where everything is a beautiful but generic empty shell.
Thanks a lot ! Still hesitating to wait for discount or go full with the deluxe pre-order to get all items as a collector

I feel it's a real shame a large swath of games media aren't even willing to give this game a shot. It's a really well made game so far and I think there would be interesting conversations to have about how it handled it's IP compared to games like Star Wars Battlefront and Gotham Knights (bad examples but you get the idea). Is Digital Foundry skipping coverage too?
