The worst part: the people doing that think they’re the good guys.

Maybe it's just nostalgia but this is the most fun I've had with a video game in years.
It's awesome.

Dos the game have co-op?
I am still on the fence if I should buy the game or wait for a special. I'd be getting it on pc.

I knew there was no multiplayer(mmo). I was hoping there would co-op with at least one person. I had gotten super close to convincing my friend to join Slytherin.
I am still not sure if I should buy it or not. It's a hard decision!!!!!!

Is it really shocking? The ones who scream for tolerance are the ones who are intolerant.
It’s soooooo good. The story just sucks you right in from the start and doesn’t let go. Next thing I knew three hours had passed. This is easily a GOTY candidate.
Example.

Please don't be f***ing with me. I should be studying and all I keep thinking about is this game.
You've got to be kidding me. These people need a job or a new hobby.
I'm not. This is the game that Harry Potter fans have been longing for. That's all I'm going to say. Just the opening Sequence before arriving at Hogwarts is absolutely f***ing spectacular.
It was pretty nuts last night on the Twitters.

Now that is concerning, especially if the main story is only 20 hours or so. I hope they didn't spend so much time developing a beautiful open world and sacrificed game content.
One of the reason I loathe the trend of these giant open world games, they often feel empty.

Is this made by the Mad Max crew? That was a fun game, just got super repetitive towards the end.
Probably because it was rumored that you need to be in all four houses (separate games) for 100% completion. I’m wondering if the quests are different for that.

Different Avalanche, this one was owned by Disney and made the Infinity games

I wonder how this game will appeal to non Potter fans. I'm a fantasy nerd (of the epic type) and the game looks pretty good... but I haven't seen a Potter movie nor read any of the books. Just have zero interest in it, but kind of interested in the game. Any chance the good reviews are from hardcore fans?
There are some reports out there about the PC version having glitches. I didn't read too deeply into it, but something to potentially do more research on because again I am not sure what reviews are biased and making stuff up just because of the psychotic behaviour that Merchant is posting above.

I read some reports that the Frame rates dropped in some areas of the game. It may just be a driver issue.
Caveat here is I'm not much of an RPG fan but I'm playing it on the side as my workday is light and I've been having fun as someone who really enjoyed the books and then the movies.
The opening tutorial felt a bit light and long in terms of teaching the game but visually it was so amazing. My god.
I do like the combat system. I think this is about as good as you are going to get so long as we have controllers and mouse/keyboard. Somewhere down the road with way better AI maybe new devices that track hands might surpass action combat but I don't see that any time soon (though I do hope in future with AI we can get some amazing combat games and maybe even a Pokemon game that's not turn based combat).
I'm focused on the first few quests to get all the different stuff unlocked like lockpicking but it's fun as someone who doesn't normally play RPGs.
The game feels big and stunning even if it's probably smaller than I think. Going from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade I was looking around. I could take screenshot after screenshot.
I do like hiding the loading screens behind doors but it needs to be smoothed out more. I experience framedrops in those moments. But then again I could be straining my GPU. It's a good but second hand GPU that has had issues in the past with other games that are not intensive. It seems to handle this one okay on what I feel like is high graphic settings for the most part.
Nitpicks would be I couldn't seem to interact with many of the NPCs to get a one line generic comment, the door to Olivander's looked super fake.
But on the whole beautiful world, you get a sense of scale, the combat is intuitive and fun to me.
