They come back later on, also as quest givers.

Ah shit, ok fair point then

 

[EviLore]

Played for three hours after the unlock. It’s solid fun, lots of little things to uncover in the castle and certainly more once you get a larger repertoire of spells. Combat is sufficient. The gear has a lot of charming aesthetics. Might actually get me to read the books afterwards.

 

[SCB3]

Is there really no way to upgrade to the deluxe version now? I pre ordered the Xbox Series X version and I'd have to buy the Deluxe outright to play earlier, kinda sucks tbh

EDIT: Nevermind, if you cancel the pre order, it gives you the credit back straight away, so did that and paid the extra

I just made the run to Hogsmeade with my new homie Natsai from Uganda. This could easily be a MMO if they decide to take it that route. Or at least something like GTA Online. I haven't been this impressed with a single player game since Spider-Man on the PS4/pro.

 

[RPS37]

Been downloading all day. The download was stuck at 50 percent for a couple hours. So it has taken about 10 hours.
Praying to God the high res texture pack doesn’t still have to download.

 

[BadBurger]

Cool, I restarted the game and was able to login to my WB Games account. They carried over my wand choice from the Wizarding World website: black walnut wood with a phoenix core 13 ¼" and hard flexibility. The guy in Ollivander's even seemed to hint that it was hard to control and demanded a truthful owner, which is what the site told me.

Man they're really hitting it out of the park with this one so far.

 

[D23]

the attention to detail in this game is amazing. Damn game is about to sell millions of copy and they deserved it. Well done dev!

 

[nikos]

Preloading that shit on Steam. Anyone knows at what time the Deluxe edition unlocks?

1PM Eastern US

 

[SJRB]

Wow, a lot of accessibility options right at the start. That's very cool.

 

[PlayedStation]

Finally beat Dead Space. It's time for Hogwarts Legacy.

Yep, it's not unlocked yet. 6PM GMT (in 8 hours 42 minutes from this post).

 

[BadBurger]

Oh that sucks asshole dude, I'm sorry. I wonder why the PC unlock is staggered so heavily?

 

[Mr.ODST]

Anyone know which house gets the azkaban quest? Each house has different quests :,o

Yea, you need to be in the illustrious House Hufflepuff. All other houses are too small. Too weak and short.

Wait really? Xbox Series X|S is unlocked now, been playing it for a bout an hour

Speaking of, this first section, the attention to detail on Gringotts Bank is just incredible, I have it in Performance mode atm (I can only play at 1440p max on this monitor anyway) and its fantastic, the brightness is a little washed out so I'll knock that down a bit

 

[SJRB]

Yeah this game is a banger. Everything about it is top-notch: presentation, visuals, music, motion-capture and voice acting. That intro was fucking sick.

We're in for a treat for sure.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

No clue, but it's all good. As long as it's unlocked in the evening. It's 10AM where I'm located, I don't play games at that time.

 

[Flabagast]

Is the day one patch out already ?

Enjoy, man. I'll join later today. Working on the house all day today.

I'm picking Hufflepuff no matter what.

If i do other playthroughs I'll go Slytherin/Ravenclaw.

 

[CortexVortex]

this game is seriously impressive. Truly a magical experience

 

[Emedan]

Has anyone figured out what to do with these trunks with eyeballs on them?

You need to use that invisibility spell I believe.

 

[BadBurger]

The use of the 3D audio on PS5 gets pretty moody sometimes, though it is hardly used.

HuffleGang rise up

 

[FunkMiller]

I will very much enjoy getting into this once I'm done hacking the limbs of reanimated corpses.

Also, when I'm done playing Dead Space.

Slytherin for life here, my Wife is a Hufflepuff though, clearly the better of us

That fuckin incel nerdhouse... Damn, I'm going edge lord Slytherin

 

[Kindela]

Is it possible to play without the minimap perhaps? Playing Elden Ring made me realize how much more immersive it is to have your eyes on the actual in-game world the whole time.

 

[Jayjayhd34]

Just bought rtx ASUS TUF oc 4080 upgraded from Rex 3080 can’t wait to play it come Friday on my new graphics card.

Arthur Plummly in Hufflepuff is the most annoying video game character I have ever interacted with

Hufflepuff's very own Urkel

 

[PlayedStation]

I restarted the intro after the first five mins just because of how awesome it is. I think I'm gonna save this for the morning when I roll a nice blunt.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

Isn't that every Hufflepuff?

Yes, you can disable the entire HUD if desired.

I am in complete awe of this game so far. It is so much better than I expected.

Presentation is god-tier and the visuals are amazing. First hour is really, really incredible.

GRYFFINDOR MASTER RACE

 

[MirageMew2]

Clocking out of a solid 5 hour run so far, this game is a blast. The combat on Hard mode is constantly keeping me on my toes and the world design and interiors are a serious next-gen (current-gen?) benchmark. First game since Demons Souls where everything is absolutely knocking my jaw to the floor, from the haptics to the audio to the presentation.

The Atmos in the XSX version is great.

Same I thought this during the first hour, I'm loving exploring and there is things everywhere that immerse you in the wizarding world, exceptional game so far

 

[ExcitableBoy]

Really enjoying this 3 hours in. It’s clearly been made with so much passion, there is so much attention to detail.

Highly recommended if anybody is sitting on the fence. Runs very well on ps5 (performance mode).

 

[Peroroncino]

Bought the Deluxe Edition yesterday after the reviews hit.

Played before bed a bit, created my character (the male VA sounds like a talentless cuck, which is a shame since I'm stuck now with his mid performance), did the intro part until the title screen and so far so good.

Intro was short and sharp, spell casting is super enjoyable, was very surprised to see two deaths so early in. Gonna dive in fully today, but based on what I played, I'm expecting good things.

 

[RoadHazard]

Physical copy here (so much cheaper), so no Hogwarts until Friday for me.

 

[Satansblade]

Not using “Prisoner of Askforban” is incredibly weak.

 

[IDKFA]

Haven't had a chance to play it yet (too busy with work), but will fire it up this weekend.

Everything I've seen so far makes it look like a solid RPG with some room to grow in a eventual sequel, such as adding Quidditch matches for example.

 

[Peroroncino]

Not using “Prisoner of Askforban” is incredibly weak.

I kinda like the more pronounced Era dig, but holy shit that's amazing.

 

[Luipadre]

I played 2 hours before going to bed. Im not a HP fan at all, but this game screams quality on all front. Im playing on balanced mode on OLED and the game looks stunning and feels so smooth. Input lag is really low, game is responsive and the HDR looks amazing too. So much detail everywhere, music is awesome, animations so far are top tier too.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Loading on pc, can't wait.

 

[Nico_D]

Got placed in Ravenclaw without trying anything particular. Couple of classes and one club later I'm pretty much sold.

Some characters have a very slight lipsync problem tho. Nothing bad.

 

[Satansblade]

I nailed Defence against the Dark Arts and Charms class!

 

[Satansblade]

Points to Gryffindor!
