I'm kind of interested in it even though I don't care about Harry Potter that much. I think some or most of the books are around here. If I get bored enough I might read them.

Well it will be February practically tomorrow. Since I like fall and winter they will whoosh by in 15 seconds. So I might buy it.
 
I never thought that posts about this game would be one of the prime places to go and see troons freak out. Seeing how ass blasted they are in the comment sections related to this game is great. It's even funnier thinking about how mad the fact that their boycott didn't do shit and the collectors edition of the game sold is making them.

In fairness to the Troons - it feels weird saying that - they honestly could’ve looked at literally any other time actual Gamers have threatened a boycott. See the best example of this

Add in that even in Current Year, an Open World Hogwarts game is something people have wanted for over a decade now, are they really surprised people are throwing money at this?

Who knows, maybe the failure of the Troon Boycott will be what finally convinces people to stop taking Twitter seriously? Yeah yeah, give me rainbows…
 
So a new gameplay showcase of Hogwarts Legacy dropped. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/ecgrvh4kQRU

Tbh, I was looking forward to play this game but now that I saw how they made Hogwarts, it doesn't feel "genuine". It looks more like californians (badly) cosplaying as 19th century british people in an over-stylised castle. Idk, the end product might be better.
 
What's the point of making a video game set in the 19th century if everyone is just going to dress and act like 21st century zoomers?
 
I'll admit, there was a bit of nostalgia from the old Harry Potter games when I saw them go through a familiar layout of the Castle, but their collectables make me wonder if the 'secrets' of this game are gonna just be random collectables flapping out in the open rather than the range of secret corridors and magical triggers that the other games had which gave Hogwarts so much character.

I do still love seeing the existential crisis of the online discussion where terminally online Tumblr users have to choose between consuming new thing or disavowing Rowling and the Goblin Rebellion plotline.

NPC conversation looks robotic, hopefully the dev fixed in before release.
The game is very detailed and the character creation looks solid.
I"m so excited that I can make Enoby in-game.

So the audience can insert. Making it a period piece was a dumb idea, done purely to not fuck with Canon. They should have just set it in current day Hogwarts.

Harry Potter was canonically set in the early 90s, they could have done it whenever they wanted and even got to show characters the audience likes.

PS, I hate that the movie aesthetic has surpassed the books in the zeitgeist, they are supposed to be wizards dressing up like Merlin or the Wicked Witch of the West, not in literal private school uniforms.

I think Terf Queen envisioned the students wearing plain black robes and black pointed hats. In winter they would only use scarves and gloves. Only the quidditch players would wear a robe matched with the color of their house.

Tbh, I really liked the uniform redisign they did in Philosopher's stone. The only thing I disliked was how progressively people started wearing Muggle clothes everywhere all the time.

Now, the uniform in Hogwarts Legacy are ugly as fuck. A bit of nitpick but I hate how women are wearing tight pants. I'm not an historian but I would have guessed most women of those times were wearing dresses or skirts. It is as hideous as the fashion in Dishonored.

(Sorry for the sperg-out about fictional fashion)

I fucking hate it too, absolutely zero color or life, bland uniforms for everyone, gray filters and an excess of brow people. It is meant to be an incredibly imaginative setting but they got all the fun and life sucked out of the IP by the fifth film.

L on not making it set during present day. Should have been a set as a prequel to the series

That would have been boring because we would have been an NPC during the important events. And we as an audience know how the events of the series go, a story disconnected from it has more potential. This is where the FB spin off went off the rails.

He said present day. That would be 20 years after the books.

Anyway, looks graphically decent, but UI is a mess. There's shit everywhere, and most of it look so flat and generic.
