Thank God I'm on the last spell assignment I think. They easily become quite boring to do. They could have gone way more creative on this area.

 

[Spaceman292]

Ok, got it.

The answer to anything that sounds like a complete plot hole is "magic". Great story-telling. Thanks, guys.

It's hilarious people saying this stuff as if people haven't been joking about it already for the past twenty years. Guess what: you're not the first person to discover a plot hole in the Harry Potter series.

I see. Well this is the first time I paid attention to the series.

I haven't done the last 2, but so far it seems like the purpose of the assignments are just to expose you to all of the consumables and show you how to make them. Probably because a lot of people tend to ignore consumable items entirely.

 

[ManaByte]

Sometimes it takes a minute or two for the next step to become available, happened to me a few times too.

In this case you have to read mail to trigger it.

 

[STARSBarry]

Well it was a hell of a ride but I think I'm done for now, might come back later for the platinum.

But it was fun to see how many cool looking sets you could make with the ingame selection.

 

[Krathoon]

The Owl Mail was a great hook to just randomly insert quests into the game.

 

[Dthomp]

Just finished the game last night, what a great time I had. I wouldn't say I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, I enjoy the movies for sure but I think I fall somewhere far below huge fan and this game was so much fun and enjoyment for me from beginning to end (outside of WAY to many Merlin trials). Easily a GOTY contender so early in the year, hope they do another game in this universe, would gladly re-enroll at Hogwarts again.

 

[Dthomp]

I've finished the game. I wanted to %100 it but I gave up

3 more achivements for 3 other houses where you need to play all the way up to the map chamber section in hogwarts. nope.

apparently butterflies also count towards %100 completion through "Collections". and I miss 2 of them out of 15. There are some maps online but this is too much.

then comes the biggest problematic of it: use ancient magic (r1+l1 combo) on every enemy type. for starters, I never used this combo too much. my build was focused on swapping spell sets constantly and using a lot of ancient throw instead (which does not count towards the damned achievement). now I have no idea out of 34 type of enemies which ones I used L1+R1 combo.

well there it is at 40/45, I'm ending my journey. I will visit the hogwarts a bit more since I still see some random events occur! They are fun too. Like Black stopping some Slytherin from bullying a Hufflepuff.

overall game was great ! I enjoyed it a lot.

Depending on what system you are on, the counter can be glitched on PS5. I'm sitting at 100% completion got all 12 of the chests in the Room of Requirement and all 15 Butterflies but it thinks I'm missing 2 items still. They are aware and I think said to have a patch hitting pretty quick so hoping that fixes it. All I need after that is the other 3 houses trophies.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Sometimes I platinum games within 2-3 weeks of release, sometimes within 2-3 months, and sometimes within 2-3 years. If they add NG+ it'll definitely be one of the former two.

Also if you Revelio while on your broom it'll show everything for a huge distance around you so you can just ping around and not need to constantly open your map to mark things.

 

[ManaByte]

Finished the main story. Hands down Game of the Year and one of my all time favorite games. Going to Platinum it and then 1000 it on XSX

Got the ancient magic trophy but there are still so many collectibles left…. Platin will take a while but that’s okay as I’m still enjoying my time.

I wish the owl would actually deliver it to me.

Imagine XSX2/PS6 4K (dynamic), 60 FPS, improved RT… .

 

[yamaci17]

time to go after baddies
ima be their nightmare

 

[VaultBoy101]

Holy hell this game is long. Especially when you play like I do and complete all available sidequests before moving on to the next main quest.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Imagine XSX2/PS6 4K (dynamic), 60 FPS, improved RT… .

PC can already do that today

 

[indigo-cyclops]

What's in the update?

 

[Panajev2001a]

Glad, move along .

 

[Certinty]

Enjoying the side content more than the main story to be honest. The “trials” are probably the worst quests I’ve come across thus far.

[BadBurger]

Fellow PS5 users who just patched: is it just me, or is the broom now turning way faster and sharper than it used to, or is it just me?

And when close to the ground, the boost bar (yellow gauge) looks like it is lit afire and I have endless L2 boost speed. Was that a thing before?

 

[rofif]

Imagine XSX2/PS6 4K (dynamic), 60 FPS, improved RT… .

I just imagined it. It will look the same

 

[rofif]

will there be any issue if I start skipping some side quests and relationship quests?
Will they don’t like me and this will matter in main story?

 

[ComputerBlue]

I feel like they made a big deal out of Simon Pegg being the headmaster, but his role in this is just a substantial as Patrick Stewart’s in Oblivion, in which it was almost nonexistent.

I knew he was in the game but I didn't pay attention to who. I would never have guessed he was the HM. He is such a douche I hate him. Pegg deserves better.

What exactly did the PS5 update bring to the table?

So no voice fix for robot voice audio? Great.

Also is it just me or the fog effect seems a bit toned down?

Havent updated it yet, but the boost bar thing was always present. It looks that way to indicate that you can use boost as much as you want when flying close to the ground.

 

[Agent_Nobody]

Biggest improvement in the patch for me was they fixed the delay making commands holding L1/LB. Most of my deaths were me trying to pull out the broom and ending up dodging off a cliff instead

 

[ComputerBlue]

Love the classroom’s. I don’t know how they would do it to make it interesting, but I wish you attended more classes.

 

[CortexVortex]

All sidequests and Merlin trials done. Now on to the remaining dozens of collectibles I guess.

 

[adamsapple]

The Gryffindor house cape is pretty dope, though from what I've seen, the Slytherin one is even doper

 

[Krathoon]

There are places where you can dive in the lake.
I found a secret cave.

Looking at those screenshots, playing on PC I'd assume?

No, console Balanced Mode, it's very good in terms of IQ and the 40fps on 120hz display is a massive step up from the 30fps modes.

How high were these cliffs? I've taken huge falls and only lost like 1% of my health. Also, if this does happen, you can still pull out your broom when falling.

 

[BadBurger]

There's a dragon flying around my world map now. I wonder if one can go see them? Anyone ever seen a dragon in the open world?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Fall damage only occurs in certain circumstances. The most important one is during combat. Also during main quests, it's possible to fall to your death in the open world, but in dungeons if you fall into a pit it just resets you at the room entrance.

 

[Nankatsu]

No, console Balanced Mode, it's very good in terms of IQ and the 40fps on 120hz display is a massive step up from the 30fps modes.

Eh, what? I'm playing on the exact same mode and game looks washed out as fuck. PS5 or XBSX?

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Ah I see, during combat. Have never fallen in that situation. That explains why Depulsoing someone off a cliff is lethal.

 

[Mr Moose]

Eh, what? I'm playing on the exact same mode and game looks washed out as fuck. PS5 or XBSX?

Is your TV/console set to limited RGB?

 

[adamsapple]

Eh, what? I'm playing on the exact same mode and game looks washed out as fuck. PS5 or XBSX?

PS5. The time of day also makes a difference, I guess ? The game also goes through different seasons as you progress the story. Not sure, haven't done any modifications to it.

edit: What Mr Moose said. My consoles and display handshake full RGB so that's what I use.

There's a dragon flying around my world map now. I wonder if one can go see them? Anyone ever seen a dragon in the open world?

Yes, I think that is one of the final parts of one of your fellow students side quest line.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Glad, move along .

Wtf kinda exchange of dialogue is this? Lol

"Imagine a pizza with pineapple "

"Places already make that"

"Shut up dick!"

 

[Freeman76]

After 100% this, its killed gaming for me lol, nothing seems satisfying to play. Not sure im rdy to play HL again so im kinda at a loss. Been a while since a game has floored me like this

 

[Panajev2001a]

PC Master race could have resisted the urge to sit at the table and start to flex .

 

[Agent_Nobody]

How high were these cliffs? I've taken huge falls and only lost like 1% of my health. Also, if this does happen, you can still pull out your broom when falling.

Quite a few places around Hogwarts got me killed trying to pull it out. And I did try to pull it out while falling but I just couldn’t wire my brain to not try to do it even faster in panic.
