Hogwarts Legacy is Somehow Based and Cringe

- Hogwarts Legacy is actually pretty good. Not amazing, but I actually was enjoying myself for a while there. It has a lot of problems that modern games have but it has a unique appeal as an immersive Harry Potter experience. It's also secretly based under a mountain of cringe.

The funniest thing to me was the Ugandan girl, Uganda didn't exist in the 1800's.
It took until 1962 for Uganda to be founded.
or Buganda i suppose, no one self educates these days. Historic shows are ruined by politics and its happening to games.
It was already called Uganda by the British, from the local name, Buganda.

i was really surprised when i realized the goblins made up only 2% of the magic world's population but were the absolute majority of billionaires owning all of the magic world's banking system! I'm starting to think the great Goblin wars casualties were exaggerated
They only had two wizards who incinerated 6 million goblin bodies in just 4 years? The time required to cast all those spells doesn't seem to add up.
And why aren't we allowed to use ground penetrating revelio charms at the site of the mass graves?

goblins are 0.2% of the population
I have nothing against Goblins... but It makes me mad when they try to pretend they're a victim class right alongside the elves who were actual slaves in this country. They have all that political and financial power and they still play the victim? Disgusting.
Most unrealistic part of the game is that you have a trans woman in a world that has magic that can litteraly change you into a different animal entirely.
People wouldn't be trans women and men, they should litteraly just use magic to swap in a heartbeat and not have to pretend.
@caw caw caw put 2 and 2 together mate.
@caw caw caw men and women who want to be the opposite sex are called trans.
In Harry Potter, you can literally transform into animals.
Keep both pieces of information in mind and then come to a conclusion.
Agreed, it's really bizarre. And hell, if they decide they don't like it, they can change back, if it's all done with a polymorph potion or whatever. Ability to pass increased 1000%.

That character's Mary Sue'ness was somehow managing to overshadow yours even when you were literally saving the whole region (or more) and Sirona was... "such a good person" or something.. for some reason.
And apparently its completely normal in 1890s Scotland seeing a random trans person as a bartender lol
Lacking enemy variety sounds insane to me. It's a fantasy world, they could literally put some weird ass enemies and it would fit in

Polygon made an review of this game. The reviewer, some Indian chick, whined how she longed for more Indian representation in the books, since series had like two Indian sisters.
Then she starts to talk about Hogwarts Legacy, set in 1890 Scottish countryside, it has multiple Indian students and even professors. Instead of being happy to be representated in such a way, she says it all makes her skeptical.
Quote: "While Rowling’s racial representation has never been good, tossing a half-dozen Indians into the Scottish countryside willy-nilly isn’t exactly better. Where did they come from - India, which was still under British rule in the 1800s? And where did they all go by the time Harry got there?"
These people can never be satisfied, it's pointless to even try. They complained that the game was transphobic, then when it turned out it was exactly the opposite, they changed the goalposts so they could keep whining. Keep in mind these are the same people who call you an entitled incel for not wanting identity politics shoved down your throat.
@@gabagool6572 Yes. It is a proof that any concessions you make for these people, it will never be enough.
I feel underrepresented. Where are 3 legged characters?
At least they also recognize that all this forced inclusion is goofy and unrealistic. But as has been said enough already, if they want to be represented they should focus on creating their own fiction. It's not like we are currently in an age of overwhelming competition for new IPs.
If you don't put Indians in Scottish countryside they will complain and say that "the game does not need to be historically accurate it has wands and broomsticks" but when Indians are in the game they complain "tokenism".
Tbh this is the only game where journos complained about tokenism, we all know why
I like how the game lets you to use the 3 unforgivable curses consequence free 👍
Turns out the unforgivable curses are actually quite forgivable
That was such a terrible decision. They’re unforgivable for a reason. Gameplay and choices should matter.
@@theworld6710 Let's be real, being hit by Avada Kedavra would be WAY better than most of the other lethal (but 'forgivable') spells, and that's something that has never made any sense. Ending wizards is A-okay so long as you don't use the one that does it in the quickest and most painless manner.

Another thing too the mod for Sirona Ryan voice mod got banned off Nexus Mods. I guess you're not allowed to mod female voices, but the irony is they allowed naughty things in modding.
Also, from what I've heard is that Sirona's voice in other languages is feminine. Only the English is a dude's voice. I truly hope we can mod her voice.

I enjoyed Hogwarts Legacy despite not being much of a HP fan.
It's a wonderful open world rpg. It's also refreshing to have a product working on release, unlike recent RPGs ives played (Pokemon Violet and Cyberpunk 2077).

She is right though; it is refreshing to have a game working on release in 2023, and it's a shame the industry has even gotten this bad,
Honestly, it would be cool if it had a moral system. You can become more OP by using unforgivable spells, but you get less rewards because everyone hates you and the wizard police is hunting you.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Slytherin ended up being the most popular house pick among Players.
That is because many of the actors for Slytherin defended J.K Rowling from the troon activists and also defended many female activists who are against troonism. Who knew that Slytherin were the ones who were the actual good guys.
Honestly the house picking was one of the most disappointing things in the game... until I found out that your house barely even changes anything in the game other than the early part of a single main quest and then I realized that they simply put the whole 'house thing' on the wayside altogether.
Anyway, literally a fucking single dialogue choice (that matters) with pretty easily discernable 'house alignments' to it. That's all it takes. And then you just get to cheat around it anyway with no consequences. And if you'd like a bit more of an actual "sorting experience"... Register to our special site now! No, thanks. Go fuck yourselves.
Ravenclaw btw. The only house which literally didn't get even a 'secondary companion' character like Hufflepuff's Sweeting girl ended up being.

edit: ps, my friend is a fat 34 y.o brown Chilean, 100% normie and quokka, so you bet if he said it himself, EVERY SINGLE PERSON who played this game noticed too.
This alone stopped me even pirating this game lol.
I appreciate you don't gloss over the wokeness aspect ...like most even so called based reviewers , suddenly they forget they are anti woke if something is popular , or just avoid talking about it , griffters

They only forget when it suits whatever agenda they have at the time.
The fact that Forspoken got released within a month of this game and expected to sell is just hilarious to me.

In 1942, at the Hogwarts Conference, a group of high-ranking wizards met to discuss "The Goblin question." Dumbledore, masterminded the "Final Solution to the Goblin Question," consisting of "special camps to concentrate the Goblin populations." The camps were labeled as "Death camps" by the Scottish government, and Dumbledore and his compatriots were arrested. However, Dumbledore managed to escape to Argentina, where he waited for 30 years until he was officially pardoned. It is estimated that 6 million Goblins were killed in the camps, and to this day they demand that this cataclysmic event be taught in Hogwarts curriculum every year.
You know this was all manufactured by the goblins didn't you?
@@dontbothertoreply9755 While Goblincaust deniers often say that this never happened, a more popular theory is that only 271k goblins were killed. this is based on Red Cross documents produced yet not verified.

He's funny though. The way he talks in a manly voice in a dress is hilarious. Me and my child were laughing at the thing.
Fun fact: SIRona Ryan's voice is on other languages voiced by females.
You hit most of the points I've made about the game. I'm especially glad you mentioned something that no one else seems to and that's the deliberate use of the word "they" instead of he or she. A person is never a "they." The two points I believe you missed are out of your companions there's only 1 white guy. Only 1 of your friends is considered "evil" and you can even send this friend to wizard jail at the end. That of course must be the 1 white guy. The other point of the "EMPOWERMENT" you have a little girl, Poppy, and she's always saying "I'm not afraid I'll take on all the poachers RAWR." No. You are a little girl who barely knows any magic and these are adults who are battle hardened wizards. You SHOULD be afraid. It is moranic that you're not and that SHOULD result in consequences for Poppy, but of course it can't. If the enemies in this game are such pathetic strawmen then your character is not "brave" you aren't doing anything heroic and therefor your character is boring. There is more than I could add, but I did believe those two were the most worth mentioning in addition to your review.
Why is it that as a man i'm expected to pay for everything, be 6' tall, make 250k a year and be ripped.. but some female thinks she can pour herself into a pair of yoga pants like warm cookie dough in a balloon and slap on 2 pounds of bondo.. I mean makeup.. and call herself God's gift to men?
Don’t bother with western women, go to Asia.
My favorite part of the game is when Larry Fink comes out and shuts down Hogwarts for not meeting their ESG quotas for 2022. And then he gets back in Ranrok's car and says, "it's finkletime boyz!"
Larry Fink and Klaus Schwab are our overlords. We will eat ze bugs and live in ze pod.
The animagus girl, her people transform into jungle animals. Make that what you will.
It makes sense for them to turn into animals native to their land.
How is that racist???
Or where they magical monkeys acting like people?
This is such a positive review from maybe the most cynical reviewer I follow! I'm glad you had fun!
The goblin thing does make me laugh. The pronouns thing is stupid because "they" get upset when "they" aren't referred to correctly, so now no one gets to be referred to properly, when "they" are like 0.01% of the population, whatever. The house elves do not want to be free, expect Dobby and he's literally scorned for being free and dying because of it too, freedom literally kills them. It's a huge things in the book, they are a cursed race but the why of it is mostly mystery. I like to imagine that everyone tends to treat them like shit because of some ancient upset in the wizard world, but we'll never know. Better left that way too because Rowling's explanations for things in her books are often horrifying or down right dumb...
also: big problem in HP in general is how lack luster the magic system is IMO
@@thetoadwalker3010 I agree. Is it an american thig to compare Goblins to Jews? I'm British and it's part of Goblin folklore that Goblins and Kobolds hoard treasure, so Goblins running a bank makes sense for a wizarding world.
@@ArgentWolf95 Kind of? The comparison is made because some fiction "scholars" have decided that certain fantasy races are directly correlated to real world races, and so project human history onto fictional worlds.

@@thetoadwalker3010 I'm familiar with the Orc one, that was done by academics and political activists who don't really understand fiction writing, or Tolkien. Some of what they said is downright insulting.

The controversy surrounding this game is straight-up hilarious, because she didn't say anything that technically wasn't true. Everyone these days has an opinion, but there is a difference between an opinion and facts, she stated facts, and even went as far as to say she supports their cause. The reality is that no one needs to know what your sexuality is, keep it to yourself. There's only two people that need to know, yourself and your partner.
Who cares what other people think, and stop trying to get everyone to agree with you. The joke is on them, because it clearly shows they're not happy with themselves. So you have the nerve to not accept yourself for who you are, and then you have even more nerve to get mad at others that don't accept you for who you are not.
Gotta disagree on some points, no amount of progressive BS should be acceptable and the game has a lot more than a little.
The combat is consolized garbage, it's not good and it's not fun, it just looks cool for the first 5 minutes after which it becomes a slog.
The story is bad fanfic tier writing, what's the point of it being time appropriate when 1890s Hogwarts is more diverse than current day London?
This is not a good game, it's an insult to sanity, gaming and the HP IP.

Modern games needs to bring back the true values of RPGs if videogames are to survive, that being given a choice that actually means something.
Fable also did that and it was hella cool. Modern RPGs suck in this aspect.
"At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if the game lets you pick your pronouns. I'm not gonna try and make a mountain of a molehill here."
If it didn't matter, why do the pronoun police throw a shit-kicking fit whenever you get their self-proclaimed pronoun wrong? If it doesn't matter, why the hell are pronouns such a big deal today for an angry and outspoken subset of the population? If it doesn't matter, why are laws being proposed in first-world countries threatening to arrest people just for getting people's pronouns wrong. No, I'm afraid it IS a big deal. Our language is being twisted and mutilated in such a way to set traps up for ostracization, criminalization, and to even alter our very thoughts so that we are always in line with the Party's policy. Pronouns were never meant to serve as part of your personal identity, but to be a shorthand for how others identify you. They were never meant to be titles by which we are compelled to refer others as though they're aristocrats looking down their noses at the filthy peasants. But that's exactly what they are: regal titles for a spoiled, entitled, and over-privileged and self-proclaimed aristocracy.
The corruption of our language is an assault on our people that leads to Geno's Side.
Enjoying it more than the latest GOW game. Never thought that would happen.
End of times, when Harry pot head is less woke than freaking God of War
@@awesomepower1600 but this game is very woke. Not in an annoying way, but its still woke nonetheless.
@@AysarAburrub Yeah, it is woke but it doesn't bash your head about it.
@@AysarAburrub aside from the token trans character, I think its handled pretty well. It's not hard to imagine Hogwarts is diverse because of all the students from the British Empire.
@@GeraltofRivia22 yeah, i didnt mind the extremely diverse cast of characters, but it did make me scratch my head a little. Overall it wasnt too bad.
The fact this game came out the way it did, by a studio like Avalanche, is no less than a miracle.
Once again I refuse to compromise my principles and will not play anything woke.
damn, so much to miss actual fun gameplay but whatever
Definitely the best part of the game was Hogwarts itself. The architecture and artwork is beautiful and there are even places where it will play classical music for you. It’s also absolutely enormous and I had a ton of fun exploring it and solving puzzles.
"your character is a mary sue" so it's just like harry potter?
Honestly? Not really. In the first couple of books Harry is definitely sue-ish but by the end he's shockingly useless and only acts as an extension of his teachers' desires and wins only through plot contrivance despite being overwhelmingly overmatched. He doesn't fit the criteria for a sue but definitely for an author-fiat bullshit asspull.
You don't own the libs by buying the game, the whole left outrage was a deliberate marketing campaign.
As for the game, I think the combat is alright, and the story sometimes even feels Harry Potterish, but let's be real here, the game is woke af. Apparently, we won't get anything better than that in near future, so maybe it's one of the better choices, still I find it too annoying
This.
I swear to god people are so easy to fool nowadays, all the transphobic memes were obviously made by their marketing department. Furthermore it's a dangerous precedent - now the moneybags know that the woke game can be easily sold with 90% positive review if you create a fake offended crowd to laugh at. They successfully shifted the overtone window
@@AbcDefg-zt8xy your comment doesn't show up for some reason
>It's a good game
>It has wakanda levels of woke
Pick one.
It's not necessarily one or the other as a game can be fun and engaging to play regardless of the quantity of woke content in the game. It's not like writers and artists are also doing the gameplay and level designs (unless it's a really small indie company then there are possibilities of overlaps).
With that said, if you don't like elements of the "progressive" agenda in your games you probably shouldn't be spending your money on brand new copies of these types of games if you're a principled individual, even if the gameplay looks like it's right up your alley. Even if I was an HP fan, I'd never buy this game due to the absurd levels of diversity and other "progressive" content.
@@Shieftain Why would anyone write a two paragraph essay in response to a youtube comment with 3 upvotes is beyond me. Do tell me what made you think I would play HL after criticizing it, let alone buy it, much less a "brand new copy"?
@@glass7923 lol it's like a couple of sentences, youtube's crappy layout makes anything that's half the length of a tweet look like a novella. And I got some time to kill anyway.
And I wasn't addressing you when I said "you." I meant to use it as a means to address the general public. Apologies for the confusion. I figured based on your comment you're principled enough to not waste money on this. Keep up the good work. 👍
@@Shieftain the guy's nitpick is kinda bizarre, specially since you were agreeing with him.
@@ArgentWolf95 Elaborate
I would argue subtle wokery does matter... perhaps more than the egregious version ,, since the objective is to change how people feel and think , and subtle persuasion is more effective than aggressive, how unlike wokes I'm not going to attack folks that don't give a shit
Agreed. This is even more true when we're dealing with language which affects how we think.
the more subtle, the more you have to point it out.
You really think wagadodo was subtle?
I'd say anything "woke" (and I mean by it "Putting something in a content for the sole purpose to shift your audience's world views) should be a big no no, no matter if it's subtle or not.
It's the issue I have with many critics on TH-cam, they only don't like woke when it's in your face, but they were okay with Spider-Man PS4 because it was kinda on the backseat (aside from the DLCs).
@@Paugose Miles Morales was preachy as hell and annoying, the woke meter on that game was on the red, while Spiderman was on yellow whit empowered braindead MJ and Peter not being able to beat a woman whit training but no powers.
Sebastian saves the game, also the game has soul in some areas details for the Potterfrogs, the Kraken tentacles in the lake, all the Potterfrog references in points of interests, Ominis is the mathernal side Grandpa of Voldemort, etc. Things like that. Everyone wanted a Bully 2 though & some mods can bring it closer to that now there is mods to attack students instead of just cats & deers lol. Also immersion mods to sit down & stuff. And an online mod for RP servers I guess that is not yet complete. This game will be very good for Potterfans in 1 year.
Which we could have a based mod that removes most of the progressive nonsense that's anachronistic or contrary to the lore.
@@thibaldus3 There will be, that ain't hard to make. Non-Newtonian Mods is already hosting some of those.
It cracked me up when you went off on Ms. Wakanda, because I LITERALLY had the exact same reaction. Yeah, there's some buried in-universe explanation for this, but it seems so stupidly panderlicious that I almost woke up the neighbors cackling over this crap. Oh...and you think the curse combo is OP, go full stealth and put Binding III or Ambush III on all your gear. I can two-shot Trolls from stealth using Invis potions. Hell, they're the only ones I can't one-shot (though bosses won't let you stealth).
It’s so pathetic this game is getting so much backlash and it’s the least offensive game I’ve ever played
"You can't have a romance system, or gore or anything even remotely young adult rated because your character is a teenager. Games are for CHILDREN!!"
(Your character then proceeds to absolutely brutally massacre everything standing in his way and half of the time tortures said everything in combat.)
If you're going to be a pearl clutching, Western dev, then at least TRY not to be creatively and socially hypocritical. Stay consistent.
Seriously, the kidnapping thing is very looked over. Imagine grown men… kidnapping a female teenager. Yeah, that’s ummmm… hmmmmm.
I can confirm the combat is harder than it looks. There's a lot going on at the same time.
I can confirm you have ADHD, you should see freakzoid review of the game
It's just long-range Arkham combat.
Did you mess around with the settings at all? Like turning off camera relative targeting and turning acceleration to 0?
@@escalatingbarbarism5096 tell me you've never played the game without actually saying it. Way more going on than the Arkham games where you spam one button over and over for most fights.
@@chrisazzy yes.
Hmm idk man i think you got nostalgia goggles for the HP franchise on. Usualy youd destroy a game like this.Its the ultimate woke cringe game with a big nice looking world. Letting that triple A sheen gloss over your eyes. Also things youd normally tear apart you just say ehh its becoming standard so its fine. Your slipping man. Dont let them make all this cringe woke shet become normal.
"I'm not saying it didn't happen, but 6 million goblins?"
"it would have been a few hundred thousand at best. there was not enough time with that many secret chambers"
One of the few reviews that calls out the wokeness of this game. Great review|👏
who cares if a game is “woke” 💀
@@jeremytherien1429 Someone who doesn't like the anti-white and anti-male agenda.
@Murphy it’s not propaganda to have a trans character. it’s propaganda if it was like “you guys i’m trans and i think everyone should be trans also donald trump stinks”
@@jeremytherien1429 bs
@@SuperEnforcer88 elaborate then
It is so stupid that nobody talks about how a Harry Potter game is a basic AC type shooter with the gameplay focusing on combat only.. This game should have been a game full of puzzles, investigations with interesting and unique gamemechanics. Fighting should've been something really rare and special imo, just like in the books and movies. It is ridicilous how trained everyone is at this point to just swallow this mediocrity with no questions asked.
True, they probably thought modern zoomers would be bored without shooting, which is probably true tbh
Did you play the game, there's multiple quests and events that involve puzzles hell the Merlin trials themselves are like that
Ye, at one point I felt like is Ac Origins copy.
@@jasonjones3328
The whole game should be a mistery solving puzzle game, not just a small part of it.
@@realbr1koo
Eh by 5th year they were a lot more combat focused even in the books
I found it weird that there wasn't a Ravenclaw companion. Would have been neat if the companions were like actual friends who, maybe depending on how much of their questline you've done, join you on certain story missions including the bug final mission. But that would have required effort I suppose.
The lack of a moral system and having the choice to be a 'good' or 'bad' wizard/witch is extremely disappointing. I'd be okay with waiting another year for this game if that's what they needed to implement such a mechanic.
I absolutely love the type of games where you can start off as a villain and be an as$hole to everyone but have a redemption arc, or you start off as good and change into a villain over the course of the game. I love that sh*t and it's severely lacking with this game.
"I was more of a Chronicles of Narnia guy" *now that's based*
I still remember reading the books and watching the first movie adaptation in cinema, very pleasant experience
Reject Harry Potter, embrace Christian themed Narnia and LOTR.
First movie was great, second two sucked. Loved the books as a kid
Narnia is somehow even lamer than Harry Potter
And Tolkien took almost everything from the Arthurian Legends, European Folklore and Celtic & Norse Mythology!
Christians always try to christianize eveything they stole from pagans....
There is even a christian version of Harry Potter!
Yes!
Really!
the goblin genocide never happened
But it should have

So basically you're that sorting hat thing, then?
I noticed at the start that Black calls me "their", i was baffled as English folk are quite good at grammar and it didnt occur to me that it was that they/them crap until you said it in this video.
Why cant we just have normal things?
For I didn't even care and I kept skipping dialogs.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have bought it if the trans ppl weren't being such dick.
Just watching them losing their minds was a great edition.
@@xid1158 I dont get demoralised that easy.
Because (goblins) are in control of our country.
Well no. That’s not a brain problem. It’s so they have to do less voice lines. Witch = girl and wizard = boy. Lots of voice lines to redo. Using they them in this context is proper but lazy writing lol
Great review synth, as usual.
It's weird that they didn't want to start you at year one and just pretend you don't know the basics when in canon they have memory spells they could have worked in there so you have a reason for not remembering basic spells.
I'm just going to wait till it's on sale because everyone seems to forget that Rowling isn't based, she has literally 1 view that is slightly different from the rest of the wokies and they turned on her like rabid dogs.
This. She is a super progressive LGBTQIAP+ feminist. She just hasn't accepted their latest craze.
@@thibaldus3 this. Beat me to it.

God I love this guy, one of the few voices of reason in this world of woke garbage.
He's literally the worst person in youtube gaming channels. Dude has no principles and I can't respect that
I have a feeling the "boycott" was at least partially astroturfed by the publisher. I'm sure there were people seething unironically but the boycott got this game so much press and backfired so hard that I can't help but think it was "promoted" by a PR firm.
100% it was fake. The left has figured out how to trick people into buying their Woke games.
This is literally THE most woke game I've ever played.... it is extremely woke. Yet i'm supposed to believe that the Woke crowd hated it this much?
What a nice surprise. Didn't expect a Review from you on this game.
“Never got into Harry Potter- tried reading one of the books but couldn’t get into it- I was more of a Chronicles of Narnia kinda guy.”
Same here man.
As soon as you said, "Pretty much an Ubisoft game" I knew this was gonna be some incredibly average tier video game and the rest of your review pretty much confirmed that.
Would be nicer if it didn't rely on those rpg elements to engage the player.
Also are you ever gonna talk about the spongebob game? Sounds like you had a good time with it.
On Nexus there was a mod to make the Champions pants look better and the modder is under supervision from a "Community Manager". Butthurt activists ruining mods.
Nexusmods, the website where you can still not download Non Newtonian mod for Spider-Man Remastered because "encouraging bad ideas", but you can also still totally download a nazi flag mod for Bloodrayne Revamped.
So basically, as long as the game is not a famous one, you can still be offensive. (I'd be for all mods no matter the game to be what the modder wants be it offensive or not, but it seems that our Nexus Pals would rather change their principle depending on the Mainstream appeal of the game)
Not just killing hundreds, which is bad, but was thinking just yesterday that I am a damned dirty thief who picks up anything that isn't nailed down no matter where i find it.
Regarding the Demiguises, the map tells you straight up how many are at each location and even each SUB-location in the case of Hogwarts. And Revelio is your defacto "Detective Vision" of sorts, so you just cast the spell and start looking through walls for items shining blue (granted, only at night). If you see one, you just work your way over to it. It's really not that hard to keep track of, ESPECIALLY compared to some of the other collectables that are a real pain in the ass to find when you start nearing the end, like Merlin Trials; Butterflies; and Landing Platforms.
"Millions of Goblins must die"
Pretty sure I saw Sebastian studying MK in the forbidden section.
The Uagadou thing was pretty ridiculous. A super speshul school where they use wandless magic instead and that it's normal. Making the very existence of wands in Potterverse entirely pointless and wouldn't have been developed in the first place.
Wandless magic has been established since the books.
It’s suggesting magic with Wanda is more powerful ironically lmao
11:59 Sebastian is BASED, he was about to reveal who runs the media and the banks before he was RUDELY interrupted...
I don't have a pc to run or money to buy it, but I don't like when my games have inclusivity bias, aka non binary or option to be trans, androgynus I can handle
Why would there not be Quidditch? It's a staple of the series. I get it would have been a pain to program, particularly the AI, but that could have gone a long way in boosting the game quality and content.
look at tze flying mechanics if u wanna have a decent quidditch minigame u need way way better optimized flying mechanics before quidditch will become implementable at this point its impossible to have fun quidditch minigame at all as i said look at the lame flying mechanic 😊
That alone is a huge turn off for me getting this game any sooner than a big discount or salwc
I bet it'll be in the sequel.
I understand that Quidditch is a staple of Harry Potter, but it's actually a really stupid game. I don't want a chasing small flying object minigame.
@@VinnyBloo You are the literal 1% lmao
Still, it couldve been optional. Its still a staple
Guess you must think other sports are stupid like Football or basketball.
You just run in on game to the end and the other game, just run back and forth tossing a ball into the basket
This is probably the most accurate review of this game out there. Also mentioning the obvious potential, always shows that games are about making money and not creating the best game. Its just a lucky accident today. well done
You know damn well he only likes it because of who hates it. Get real.
It’s almost as if though you know when I’m craving more of your content. I was looking for any videos I missed of yours only to get this notification lol.
What is the point of an Harry Potter rpg where you cannot potentially play as Voldemort? The didn't think this one through. They didn't want to offend anyone and played it safe but it ends up being insipid.
While true this is the first go round they might indeed do everything we want in the next one
@@princemwamba5230 Yeah I'm not putting my money on that. You either give me what I want or I won't buy your shit, very simple.
I mean that's fair but a lot of our fave games didn't have everything we wanted in the first go it happens man
@@princemwamba5230 My favourite games did.
Less Hogwarts mirrors and shit and more Voldemort.
1:00 I will say more; HP was a book series that open many people to read some fantasy.
5:20 Knight Build... Nice xD
8:30 This is sad. This game have such 'fashion' potential.
Btw. Lol Elden Ring have more spells than Wizard-Game. I thought it was just my brother's joke.
Sebastian should have been the protagonist
You pretty much said exactly everything I felt. The final boss was the only somewhat challenging combat in the game. But with 25 health potions at the ready? Not so much. I think because they created such a nice world and offered lots of reward without tying it behind monetization it sat real nice with me.
cant believe theyre hailing this as the next coming of jesus when it looks basic and boring as hell
