Hogwarts Legacy (February 10th, 2023) - Mod warning in OP

[The Crypto Guy]

Those people will be missing out on a great game.

All those people cry but will still buy the game. It’s hilarious.

And even though she’s not involved with the game at all Rowling still gets paid.

Hogwarts Legacy has over 100 side quests that "manipulate the main campaign"

Played in any order, they will "impact how you interact with them in the main storyline"

Im thinking its not much of a manipulation but we shall see

Odd way to end it.....

"We are finally getting a good harry potter game....shouldn't it feel better then this?"

 

[aleshemsky83]

We’re not supposed to mention something the literal IGN review talks about for most of the video? I feel like a major publication alluding to the idea that you should boycott makes the subject fair game.

 

[S E P H]

Holy f*** IGN...went to go watch a game review, stayed for the social politics.

 

[Beau Knows]

Never been a Harry Potter fan, but this looks pretty good.

I'm sick of seeing so many safe, predictable open world games like Far Cry or Horizon. The little I've seen of this one makes me optimistic that it won't be another Ubisoft clone.

 

[Knave]

The review sounded really promising. You can kick back and do nothing and enjoy exploring the world of Harry Potter and Hogwarts... and/or you can focus more on the story.

It sounds like this could be an even bigger hit than the pre-orders have made it.

Ya that caught me by surprise lol.

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

If I do not get to ask Professor Black if he's ever dived through the air firing two wands yelling "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" then they have missed a golden opportunity.

The fact that Simon pegg is the voice has me even more excited for this game

Correct. There are plenty of other avenues to have that discussion and people here aren't mature enough to have said discussion without it turning into a political shit show... and politics aren't allowed.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Outside of all the "you shouldn't play it because Rowling" it sounds like they thought the actual game is good....which is what I care about. Haven't bought it yet, and I won't base my purchase off what IGN thinks regardless but I am cautiously optimistic about this one.

Yeah if this was gaming site, it may different. But this is a hockey site, hockey gets a bit more leeway, but there are still limits there.

Back on topic, but seeing a few of the people who have had earlier access and it's look pretty damn fine. It's not perfect but I really still want to keep my expectation tempered, but it is becoming so hard.

 

[Commander Clueless]

I'm still waiting for the bottom to fall out on this game, because everything seems to good to be true

You mean to tell me the mods haven't signed up for 24/7 365 operations to quell a video game thread on a hockey forum? Crazy.

Yep. Every review I have seen has been extremely positive and the level of detail seems to be insane.

IGN article that doesn't mention she who will not be named. Only two weeks to go, or less if you sprung for the deluxe digital edition with 72 hour early access

Any details on the differences of being a Good Wizard vs a Bad Wizard?

Aside from use of the unforgivables, none that I am aware of, unless there is some kind of morality based apple mechanic for teachers desk lol

I thought I saw in a recent IGN video where the player was able to use unforgivables. it made it seem that they can be used no matter good or bad.

From my understanding, which maybe wrong, a good witch or wizard could use them in the Dark Arts arena without penalty so to speak, But it would just be limited there.

I'm looking at running a non blood obsessed Slytherin, happy to use any and all resource available to me with no qualms about using the unforgivable curses but if I can I do not want to be the agressor, so my aim is never to use magic against another person first, but if they do, I duel to win and if that means killing, so be it.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the game world won't react more negatively to you use Unforgivable Curses?

Unforgivable Curses are so named for a reason.....and that reason is apparently nobody cares.

We'll they say their unforgiveable... but it's just name, I forgave myself for using them pretty easily
