The thing that annoyed me the most was that if you picked Slytherin, Snape still treats you like trash even though it's very obvious that he's supposed to favor people in his own house
Marissa LovesMusik Exactly!
He hates you because of your brother
@@anonymouscamel64 Still a very dumb reason as I'm pretty sure said brother is in the same house as you so would be favored by Snape as well despite what he did
Yeah, and you can't go back if you choose a house. You have to wait until you graduate, which takes FOREVER.
@@anonymouscamel64 I don't got a brother!
I love the fact that you can't access the Infirmary until your a second year. It's like Freshmen don't deserve healthcare 🤣
Dude I was ded when I noticed that XD
I was like:
"You're meaning to tell me that if we died, we would what? Not go to the infirmary? Nice safety and health care Dumbledore, you outdone yourself again"
welcome to America
Dumbledore, ya really have outdone yourself. Limiting healthcare to wizards and witches of ages 12+ since 1881
And you can only access it when you reach (I think) chapter three of your second year!
they need to toughen up anyways
Dumbledore: Oh? Slythren discovered the cure for cancer? Eh. 10 points.
Also him: Wait a griffendor student made their bed?!? 5008273628362863628827273663 POINTS
We already had that cure for cancer crap Slythrens
All you needed was the magic heal power of touching another person’s forehead
Hahah this comment has a whole different meaning because he mispelled grffindor there can be a house called what he spelled in an alternate universe where Making a bed is just the best thing ever
So. True tho
The most ridiculous thing is, if you choose Slytherin, the enemy Merula is also in Slytherin and is happy about you losing house points. That's just bad writing
I didn't even think of this 😂
Yeah I'm in Slytherin and it's so confusing as to exactly why my own house member hates me so much
KiraFriede they’re expecting that you choose Gryffindor because it’s the most popular house. However I’m a proud Ravenclaw and in fact I hate Gryffindor I think it’s overrated
Harry Harry just my opinion
Zach The Otaku but your opinion is based on nothing
This game is just a magic version of the Kim Kardashian game.
I also hate how if you choose Slytherin, Snape still hates you, Merula is happy about you losing House points even though you're in the same damn house, and Rowan is in Slytherin too even though it doesn't match her personality. They tried to explain it as my brother got expelled and there's rumors about him, everyone hates me for that, but there's no reason why Snape and Merula should sabotage their own house.
One thing I liked about it, I used my real name for the game and I finally got to see my name on a Hogwarts letter. I took a screenshot.
Caitalin the thing with the Hogwarts letter it’s a f mood
i love the kim kardashian game lol
I was in Griffindor and Snape actually did calm down a bit after I did a bit of buttering business and I think it's supposed to be Snape smirking and waking away instead of giving me points for doing a potion perfectly fine?
I wonder if we still have to sneak into the slytherin house even if we are in slytherin house
Blake Wickman
I liked how you called Merula a bitch
I
DONT
GET
WHY
SNAPE
TREATED
ME
LIKE
POOP
EVEN
THOUGH
I
PICKED
SLYTHERIN!!
Because of your damned brother.
Also he's a butt.
Same here
Izzy May Mitchell because he is an asshole no matter what house ur in.
Ikr!
I am actually offended because this game is soooo rude about Slytherins 😢
Rach3l don’t even mention it! I hate how they’re viewed as all evil when that’s not true!
It is not! Now you can have your own opinions about this game but as far as I know, this game has completely broken the "Slytherins are evil" stereotype. Have you even met Barnaby Lee and Liz Tuttle? They are Slytherins, but absolute sweethearts!
Especially Snape. I’m in his house and he fucking hates me
Akemi StormBorn but we were overlooked, and the main antagonist is still from slytherin
@@evagwennie That may be true, but since Voldemort came from Slytherin, it's perfectly normal that Hogwarts would consider that house a little dark. But that doesn't have to be the case. Barnaby and Liz are sweethearts. Ismelda may have been shown as a dangerous girl, but she's cool too! And Merula may be the antagonist, but she isn't even that bad. And starting year 5, Merula is actually on better terms with MC.
“The play that must not be named”
That’s what we’re calling it now?
I like it
I think a "horribly written piece of fanfiction that must not be named" is a good thing to call it too.
someone: *cursed child*
potterheads: flinches
Omg I loved when he said that too
“We do not speak his name.”
That horrendous excuse of a book is the worst trash I've ever read.
ONE TIME ON ONE OF THE FRIEND THINGS BILL ASKED ME WHERE THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM WAS AND *I KID YOU NOT* THE CHOICES WERE:
ASTRONOMY TOWER
HEADMASTER'S TOWER
GRYFFINDOR TOWER
*_I WONDER_*
Arman Aryan lmaoooo
It can't be Gryffindor Tower, there's no reason it would be there!
That was a trick question; the correct answer is Filch's office.
What?! I thought it was at the whomping willow 🤯🤯
Why would he even ask about that when you’ve been sleeping there for a whole f****** year?! (if you chose gryffindor)
Lego Harry Potter got more things right than this game.
Yep, it did
Everything right with a lot of funny bits
Lego Harry Potter is still a classic
I love LEGO games...
Bought the collection yesterday for switch
He is like *sneaks into slytherin common room* B-but i am slytherin
If you're a slytherun, you have to sneak into griffyndor.
If you are Gryffindor, you sneak into the Slytherin Common Room.
Any other house and it is the Gryffindor Common Room you sneak into.
That Huge Idiot No, I'm in Hufflepuff and gone in Slytherin.
Griffindoor goes to hufflepuff
Hufflepuff goes to slytherin
Slytherin goes to ravenclaw
Ravenclaw goes to gryffindoor
@@madime7491 actually, its Hufflepuff and Gryffindor that go to Slytherin, and Slytherin and Ravenclaw that go to Gryffindor
Harry Potter Fans: *upset about boring gameplay that doesnt do harry potter justice*
Percy Jackson Fans: welcome to the zone of dissapointemnt! Want a blue cookie?
l o l
LMAOO
Either way, Percy Jackson sucks
Yea, the books are amazing but the movies literally suck. ;-;
Slytherin Ely do you mean the movies or books
Cause the movies I understand, but the books?? Like why man I’m seriously curios??
When we wanted a Harry Potter RPG, THIS ISN'T WHAT WE MEANT!!!
Go check out Hogwarts is here. It's basically Hogwarts, but online
Just wait on play station to save the day ( they’re getting a HP game that actually covers every single one of the problems his talks about)
Wuzzle I’m gonna hold my breath for a bit on that response. Hopefully I don’t suffocate.
@@noahzellner1242 yeah it will really make you feel like you controll the character. Also it will happen in the 1900's and that's cool!
RPD:Really Pathetic Game
I don't like the fact that Rowan is clearly meant to be in ravenclaw however gets sorted into the same house as your character
I was actually in Ravenclaw, so I just thought they used a different character for each house as she fit into Ravenclaw perfectly. Is it literally the same character in each house, with a different character model?
Eve Barkes Rowan fits into Slytherin too, she has great ambitions to be the youngest professor at Hogwarts. She is also extremely loyal to all her friends and works very hard, which makes her a candidate for Hufflepuff too. And who was the first one to go with the main character on the search for the cursed vaults? Rowan, this making her eligible for Gryffindor. She fits into all the houses in a way.
@@michaelryan1767 me too!
IKR but luckily I'm ravenclaw so it makes sense
@@rumple7232 Hashtag?
Me: Watches video dissing Hogwarts mystery
Also me: Gets an ad for Hogwarts Mystery
Oh my gosh same 😂 literally paused it so I didn't have to take 💩 from it
A+ marketing there!
Lol that’s just
lol
Seamus: Makes video about how bad Hogwarts Mystery is Me: Totally agrees with him, but still checks my Hogwarts Mystery several times throughout this video because I was in the middle of a Potions lesson
relatable 100
I'm playing the game as this video plays😅
I’m playing rn 😂😂
It’s like league of legends lmao
Omg I'm watching it while doing potions too 😂
I deleted this game when the character got caught in devil's snare, and the game was like 'nope lol, can't deal with this yet, need to wait for your energy bar to refill'
Same
I did the same lol
OMG thats also what i did
Same
LMAO YES
The most frustrating part is that the characters, plot, and interactions are so great and interesting, and there are so many great customisations, but the entire game is ruined by the complete lack of any gameplay, save for one duelling mini game
Oh yeah 7 HOURS OF WAITING EVERY TIME it could take years to beat the game
ok
so if you're in Ravenclaw
you sneak into the Gryffindor common room
not Slytherin
It’s true
yass so true 😂✌
What if ur in Hufflepuff (me)
Mali Nation Slytherin and Ravenclaw sneak into Gryffindor. Gryffindor and Hufflepuff sneak into Slytherin
Why do u sneak into gryffindor
'It makes the Play-That-Must-Not-Be-Named look like a work of art.'
Woah, Seamus. Take a moment and breathe. When you think such thoughts, you must remember a few key things:
1. Cedric Diggory becoming a DEATH EATER
2. Voldemort x Bellatrix
3. CEDRIC DIGGORY BECOMING A DEATH EATER
Mini Williams Yep compared to THAT, this game's storyline is much, much better.
Yeah, compare it to Hogwarts Mystery:
1. Slytherin not winning the House Cups.
2. Characters not ageing.
3. Defence Against the Dark Arts is taught in Charms by Flitwick.
4. The storyline overall.
Really, the only thing that makes The-Play-That-Must-Not-Be-Named worse is that it's actually canon...
9nikolai Hogwarts Mystery is just copying? the books and few minor things (ie. It's considered canon if you are in Slytherin, and it's on year 3 so we can't see the difference on MC yet). The-play-that-must-not-be-named changes the ENTIRE story and Harry's personality. Amos Diggory gone mad after Cedric's death? No, he's mourning but he doesn't lose his mind. Harry said mean things with his kid, the trolley lady is evil, Cedric is a death eater, time traveling and VOLDEMORT HAD *THAT* WITH BELLATRIX WHEN HE WAS 70-YEARS-OLD AND MAKES HER PREGNANT AND GAVE A BIRTH. Does that sounds better than just 'copying' the real books?
Jessie Brown Yes...it does sound better.
Slade Wilson Oh, whatevs... IMO, everything is better than the play-that-must-not-be-named. That's beyond horrible and not worth reading twice. Idk about the play, though. But if you like it or not, it's entirely up to you.
The one thing everyone hates:
The energy bar
this is why i use the mod version of the game
@민아이샤 there you go mate,, i don't know you need to start over or not, i already play the game intended to start over,, and it's up to date,, you need to create ID to download tho
Derp Fish ill try it
I didn't play for a few months and had then like 400 energy-
im on my second year yet it still crashes so i can't get to year 2 chapter 1 smhhh
The funny thing is that an advertisement for the game played on this video before the video began😆
Lol same!
I was looking for this comment!
I think the concept was alright but they completely failed at making the game actually good
agree!!
I fully agree with you
it would be a great game if it made before the era of cashgrab mobile gaming
But I like the game ;-;
I just really hated the fact that Snape and Merula hate you no matter what, and sometimes the energy gets really annoying.
Yeah but every story needs the bully but Merula is only like that because of her parents.she changes over the story line
Because of your brother
I was kind of mad cause I really wanted to see what lessons where like. Like potions is my favorite class so I wanted to see what it was like. Here's a dialogue example
Me: Oooh a Harry Potter game. I wonder what lessons are like?
Game : Honey just click the blue thing
Me: But-
Game : CLICK THE BLUE THING AND WE WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM
Jackzie RIGHT?? I wanted to make potions like in the Wii and DS games!
IKR ITS SO ANNOYING
whoops, you're out of that blue thing. better wait for another 2 hours for refills or just buy it in the game
I hate to say it but I agree. Another thing I don't like is that Rowan changes gender depending on what your characters gender is. I think they should stay as the same gender.
Kerriscorner that’s exactly what is was thinking. It’s like changing Hermione to a boy.
They probably want Rowan to be a same gender best buddy to our character.
Sohana Haider but you can still be friends with the opposite gender, can’t you?
Kind of like a Pokémon rival then
I hate that. I feel like that could be excused if Ben's gender changes because they might have just wanted your character to have 2 friends of different genders but NOPE! And even if they did do that it's still stupid because then you're just MAKING 4 DIFFERENT CHARACTERS INSTEAD OF MAKING 2! WHYYYYYYYYYYY
If I was making this game these are the changes I would make:
1. Every decision should make the game different. If you chose Slytherin or Gryffindor, the main conflict would be the same, but the side conflict should be totally different. Also, Snape should still mistreat all student BUT Slytherin, not just all students. I think a really fun side conflict for Slytherin could be along the lines of deciding if or if not to join Merula when she is bullying other kids.
2. For the lessons, the professors would tell important information, and it could be auto-writed into a digital notebook which could be accessed at any time.
3. For main conflict, like when casting a spell, you should have to recall important information fight or defend.
4. Instead of buying clothing to raise your attributes, raising your attributes should unlock your clothing.
5. The creatures would be way less expensive, and instead of paying in notebooks, I think that you could unlock them by getting enough stars in care of magical creatures class, granted that class would have to exist in the game.
I am sorry if there is any confusion, I JUST unlocked care for magical creatures, eventhough I have been playing for 6 months
What if you are in the Slytherin house? How do u sneak into your own common room?
K Fly you sneak in Gryffindors', which house are you in?
gsevde krlmz im a rawenclaw i had to sneak in gryffindor
Dieselnaut 3.0 same, I think Ravenclaws and Slytherins sneak in the Gryffindors while Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors sneak in the Slytherins
You go to Griffindor
I’m a ravenclaw, and we had to sneak into Gryffindor
What if you are a slitherin...snape is mean. The slitherins are your bullies. Do you still have to sneak into your own homeroom?
Rosia you if your in ravenclaw or slytherin you sneek in to gryfindor if tou are a gryfindor or huffelpuff you sneek in to slytherin
@@dewydrew6737 You're* sneak* into* you* Gryffindor* Hufflepuff* Into*. Also, add some commas, and there shouldn't be a "you" at the start of the comment.
Random Cat dude calm down people like you can’t find a real argument so you be a bitch about the spelling
@@jadaaaaa5034 I was never trying to argue, but the comment was literally almost impossible to understand, so I just corrected them. I never said anything in a rude way, so maybe you should calm down lol
No but the bully is happy when you lose house points...for some reason...
Why can’t they just make a Harry Potter open-world game that is of the quality of GTA San Andreas? duh!
stealing brooms and stunning old witches on the street XD
The fifth and sixth game adaptions are kind of like that, actually.
Well, I think you might be quite happy with what the people over at avalanche games are producing...
I know i am late but there will be hogwarts legacy
Just wait till Hogwarts Legacy comes out. Well I hope that Hogwarts Legacy isn't a disappointment like this one.
Another thing I can't stand from the game is that instead of galleons, sickles and whatever it is they use coins. COINS!!!
siftage And knuts
“the play that must not be named”
He made a vow in another video to literally never say the name of the play again.
HikariMichi42 lol I know it’s just funny at this point
I actually kinda liked it, but Harry was too OOC and I hated the way they misused time turners. seriously, do they really think Harry Potter, HARRY-FRICKIN-POTTER, would ever say something like "I wish you weren't my son"? Also, I can't imagine Voldemort being humble enough to think he would ever need an heir, although I did like the idea of Delphi/The Augury as a whole. All in all, more like a fanfiction than a real Harry Potter book.
@@fyrefrost1898 Austin mconell fixed it pretty well
captain loophole oh yeah I kinda liked his version
My only complaint is that the Ravenclaw robes have blue, silver and a RAVEN! Instead of blue, bronze and an Eagle 🦅😠
RIGHT
I THOUGHT NOBODY ELSE NOTICEDDD
I thought I was the only one that noticed
It goes with movie canon and is boring gameplaywise
Here is what we *REALLY* need! An open world Harry Potter game (and you don't play as Harry, but yourself) and you can make decisions, roam around the castle. And do anything that has nothing to do with the piece of ****** that this game was
Drew this game was never intended to be that. This game was designed for casual mobile game players who liked Harry Potter. There is an open world Pokemon Go style game coming out in November called Wizards Unite.
And it should be multiplayer as well!
I wanted to do this for a long time. I'm learning game development and 3d modeling for it. It might still be 3-4 years till I can publish a demo, but I want to do it.
The only thing I'm afraid of is legal issues. I'm not even sure if I can publish it for free.
13thxenos id buy it
I've been wanting an open world, possibly multiplayer harry potter game for ages, I thought we were getting close when we got pottermore, I knew the mobile game wouldn't be like that, but I would buy an open world HP game in an instant!
Madam Hooch also mentions Firebolts in a lesson...is she a time traveler? Because Firebolts are from 1993
Would it be so difficult to create a story within the Harry Potter world that takes place in the modern world? There's no need to create a story about Harry's son or a prequel to the events of the original series. They could easily create a new fresh story where magic and technology is combined and each house has a wi-fi password
👋 I second that whole-heartedly
You haven't read Hogwarts: A History, have you?
@@_zenith_139 have you seen all the inconsistencies in the books? Especially the cursed child? Whatever rule that you are thinking it can be erased with: well, magic has evolved so we can do this now
I hate the game, but I am level 17 and year 3 chapter 5. I’m already too deep in the hole... can’t get out of it.
I guess I’m part of the problem.
Same 😂
Miguel Rios just get someone to delete it for you
relatable
Yep
I hate it as a game but it's a useful time waster tbh
Is it too much to ask for an open world Harry Potter game on consoles and PC with actual lessons, and the ability to explore the entire castle and grounds? Give it to Bethesda or something
Edit: wow this comment didn't age well, Bethesda probably shouldn't make the game
Apparently so
I dont think Bethesda's game style style matches the franchise, and they probably arent willing.
Codo8 More like Obsidian
Fix the breaking of cannon on your second year: be slytherin
Boom, cannon restored
But then you would win year one and N.H. Nick would say 7 years
Got rid of the game recently, it was eating up all my space, and for what? Subpar gameplay. One of my pet peeves is Rowan. Rowan is always whichever gender you are. And always ends up in the same house as you when clearly Rowan deserves to be in Ravenclaw
Robert Brookes and Rowan gets on my nerves so much, like they're trying too hard and keep shoving that discount Hermione in my face. Oh and Rowan keeps on talking about how smart he/she is but, in my game at least, she ended Year 2 with -15 house points... How is that even possible?
CatcoolCat Well the house points was randomly generated (besides you). Penny Haywood, for example. She's like teacher's pet and school's sweetheart but she ends up -21 house points in my leaderboard haha.
Lol my Rosanne is a slytherin.....yeah she isn't particularly cunning or ambitious
I chose to be in Ravenclaw so it made sense that Rowan was in Ravenclaw
It's like they think you can't be friends with someone outside your house, bit dumb
At the very least you can see hufflepuff win the house cup. So, there’s that
Wow, that game wasn’t even trying to be realistic XD (please don’t kill me, I just couldn’t resist)
hienmouu Damn, are you sure you’re a Hufflepuff XD ;)
hiemouu No no, it’s fine. I thought we were all just joking. I love joking with my friends about houses (and they love joking back) sorry if I didn’t come across that way
That’s good :)
The ad before the video for me was guess what
hOgWarTs mYstEry
Hahahaahahahaha lol
The thing I don't get is why the high ratings??? For both the book that shall not be named on good reads, and this app on the play store. Who is giving those 5 star reviews??? All Harry Potter fans I talk to in real or online seem to hate the thing, but then there are thousands of people who apparently love it. Who are those people? I want to have a genuine conversation with them. What do they like about it? What lead to that 5 star review? As a person who is a Harry Potter fan in the real sense, i found this game to be a disgrace. For a casual fan, i assume the complete lack of any real game play would be reason enough to for a bad rating. The whole thing is ridiculous.
MollieVX They might just be bots to make them look good.
The game asks you to give a review in the first five minutes of the game. These first five minutes give you a rather good impression of the game so many people might think the rest of the game is also good and give the game 5 Stars.
MollieVX I have actually read reviews that are bad in the written section but still 5 stars. I think it’s the “everyone gets a trophy” for trying of the internet.
MollieVX I like the game
There are people who have been strongly anticipating the game so they can't disappoint themselves when it comes out
the "laziness" problem is the same one they had with the play - jkr didn't write it, so expanding the universe beyond what we already know would've been difficult, so they stuck with familiar stuff. though i agree with most of your points, i personally still kinda like the game, and i also think it's getting better with each update. maybe in like a year it'll be actually good^^
Still not good XD
Oh this aged well
Still getting worse XD
Actually in 2019, they added a quidditch storyline
ArtGirl ASMR well that just fixes it all
Yea ik when he said that u cant play quidditch i was confused thxx im not confused anymore
There should have been a sorting quiz! 😒
Dreamer 97 agree, don't just Pick your house, yay!
I agree, but it wouldn't have been as accurate as the real pottermore quiz and if I had to play as any other house than hufflepuff I'd have deleted the app and tried again until I got it so it really just saved me some time tbh, lol
I think there should have at least been the option to take a short quiz. When I first started playing, I still thought it was the roleplaying game they had hyped it up to be and I would've gladly taken a little quiz just for that little bit more of immersion. But it wasn't even a roleplaying game to begin with, it was a disappointment all around, in my opinion. 😩
I know right
Omg so many likes 😊
I agree the game is pretty boring, it's quite disappointing really. 😕
Adam Manneh same I played like 1 class and a half of the game before I didn’t think it was worth my excitement. And now my tablet won’t let me delete it 😩
No!😠
Adam Manneh 😜-
Adam Manneh no
Adam Manneh You're lucky I can't even get it to see.
I actually like Hogwarts Mystery. I've been playing it since the beginning and the story has gotten pretty interesting. What I also love is that you befriend people from every house and don't only stick to characters from your own house. The waiting for energy doesn't bother me, waiting for new chapters doesn't bother me that much either, there are ok side quests (I was able to finish almost all of them and I haven't spent any money on the game). So yeah, those are my thoughtd
I hate the energy thing so so much but I do love the idea of being a hogwarts student and that sold me lol. I really like it and I’ve gotten used to the energy thing but the game still isn’t very good but it something to do in the summer idk
Mate your playing the game wrong
Pz video art
you’re*
I'm just gonna write a self-insert fanfic
AuddieTehCat good idea, I might join you
that's the reason I play the mod version of the game,, to get rid of that cashgrab mechanic and just enjoying life as Hogwarts student
I *LOVE* clicking on blue bars, just too much fun
ikr
The game sucks...
Oh I'm being strangled by a creature I better get out of it clicks on the tentacles
You must wait for blue orbs
1 hour laterrr
Also a HP fan is playing but your character would be like
“What’s Quidditch?”
What’s Wolfsbane potion”
And they’re from a wizard family
Laziness isn't the biggest problem with this game.
It's greed. Greed led to the lazy efforts when creating the game.
Greed leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering. Greed is the path to the dark side of gaming.
The explanation for all bad games, greed and laziness.
Thank heavens, someone else agrees with me! All of my friends keep saying “Oh, have you played the new Hogwarts Mystery game? I love it!” Like, what? The game’s pathetic! Like you said, it’s just plain lazy! Being a true Potterhead, I was really disappointed when I downloaded the game, thinking it’d be amazing, but no, just tapping on blue things and wasting energy :/
Sophia Shah Agreed its like they just copied Harry Potter the most disappointing is the lessons and overal things the game is clicking a button
Its is good your just being unrespectful be tahnkful for what you have geez
wolf draw lover you should learn spelling the game is lazy useless poor unwanted bad and dumb
@@yemky2007 well I'm aloud to have my own opinion not yours ok?

Exacly
I actually like the game but I completely agree with you. I don't think its what we expected. I love the animation but it still don't really make sense. I have a friend who is a slytherin in the game and merula is also a slytherin! Merula would be so delighted if you lost house points but what if you're a slytherin? She'll confront you or something? No, she's still contented at it. I hoped that the lessons actually can teach you something instead of clicked on glowing lights called energy which takes too long to refill. I agree its absolutely lazy writing. Rowan is like Hermione. Ben is like Neville. They're so lazy they can't even think of a proper name. Cursed Vaults? Cursed Ice? Not this The Play That Must Not Be Named thing again. And much more.
The only thing I disagree is that nothing can make The Play That Must Not Be Named a piece of art, never.
Sky Serendipity Me, too. I like the game, but I think it’s meant more for little kids to get interested in HP now, and not the generation who grew up with it. ;)
Yeah if you are in Slytherin then put muerela in Gryffindor or something
Rowan is smart, he's not a sassy (cute) mudblood.
@@AHufflepuffAndASwiftie
I mean, I grew up with HP, and I;m not even in my late teen's, but put that aside, I could see how *little* kids could like this, but this whole thing is just honestly confusing on how they had a lot on point, but just brush a lot off
Wanna inhale? Okay that'll be 50 energy!
Wanna exhale? Oh, sorry you don't have enough energy.
i hated i had to wait 4 minutes just to get like one energy point like honey im not wasting my life savings on you just so i can have some energy!
that's what they do with " free games" you can download for free, but if yoy actually want to play the game for real without having to stop for hours every five minutes, you need to buy things in the game.
@@nessyness5447 ikr! its so annoying! i stopped playing after my second year.
@@uzma9021 i didn't even got that far XD
@@nessyness5447 lmao yeah i wanted to finish the game but i couldn't lol
They’re not interested in you. They’re whale hunting. They find the .1% of the player base that spend 100s or 1000s of dollars a month on it and they make millions.
You forgot the character design. I’m at the end of year 3( yes, I’ve tolerated it for this long) and my character still had the same features as year one. The only things changing is what I personally do.
I was actually going to mention this and compare it to how different I actually looked in real life, but I just couldn't find a way to get into the script!
Person People did you find out who the DADA teacher is?!?!?
Person People wait what year 5 is out?! I thought it's only up to year 4 at the moment!
Flora Bunny idk I'm still in the 2nd year
Only upto year 3 has been released so far.
Honestly Hogwarts mystery was exactly what I expected. I knew the story was going to be weak because it was not made by a company who knows how to make a game like Hogwarts mystery but what makes jam city unique is that they’re willing to listen to people who play the game and will add their suggestions to the game but it is not the worst game I have ever played
Yes
Yeah hopefully they'll fix the current issues for later years and maybe revisit earlier points in the game to fix their trail.
I agree and video games are hard to make and animate it takes a while and the game is pretty new and has room for improvement
I wish JK Rowling made the game it would be better

*Now I'm glad that the app isn't "compatible" with my device*
you device knew better
nessy ness 😂 ikr
How much of the time are Harry Potter games bad?
*Always*
SCPGaming I understood the reference
This is so true. And that comment also made me cry
BeCuz I'm Batman every one did
SCPGaming the Order of the Phoenix game for pc was pretty damn good tho
I love this comment
It's 2018 where's our pc/console game with a customizable character and an interesting plot
CLICK THE BLUE THING AND WE WONT HAVE A PROBLEM~makers of this game, probably at one point
what we need is a vr harry potter/wizarding world game. Just imagine....
Sorry to tell you but it’s 2020 and still no game 😔
Hey! You probably already know this....but I'm here to tell you that you predicted the future! It's hereeee!!!
Me: plays Hogwarts mystery while watching this video
How
Me too lol
Well I played as a slytherin student so I guess mine is cannon
Same
Clódagh Mclaughlin not really cause slytherin only won 6 years in a row not 7
@@RandomPersonProbably Good point
me too
Here are a few things that really annoy me in the game:
1. Even if you pick slytherin, Snape treats you like shit. Which is really unrealistic, especially when it comes to the fact that he is the head of slytherin house. In the books (and movies) he treats slytherins better than the other students.
2. Rowan is supposed to be in Ravenclaw, obviously, (you can tell) but she goes along with whatever house you choose. 😑
3. Overall, the game is bad. It’s really boring. There’s not much to do anyway, I thought this would be fun, like as if I attended hogwarts! But no.
4. If you choose slytherin the enemy, Merula, is in the same house. And she gets happy when you lose house points! That’s just stupid.
5. I actually played the game in every single different house, and everything is the same. What? They didn’t take the time to maybe change a bit if your in a different house, but they don’t!
Rowan has the qualities of all four houses and was scripted to enter whatever house you pick because they help you on your mission. (I called them they because their gender depends on what gender you choose for yourself, girl if you're a girl and boy if you're a boy).
Everything about this is IKR
Also you are from a wizarding family and don’t understand anything about the wizarding world even though every main character is a Harry Potter fan and knows the stuff already and have to sometimes spend 100 energy on learning something ingrained in every HP fan’s brain
So true. I thought that I would be dealing with Voldemort and have a great Hogwarts journey but no. My friend chose Slytherin house and I chose Ravenclaw and it is the same!!!
I always thought Rowan made a great Slytherin, since she was clever and very ambitious.
Im not the biggest fan of Harry Potter, but Ive always liked it. I started the game ages ago but stopped playing. But bc of coronavirus and quarantine I downloaded it again and Im obsessed aha, I love it and before now I never really thought about the story line being reused, but idc, its getting me through quarantine 😂😂
Em Cookie same, if ur really bored this game can be fun,
Same, same
I don’t want to delete it because I have waited too many hours to loose my progress now. I have waited too long and spent way too much of my precious time on this game.
Zoe Zebra where can u download the game?
But did you spend 12 years in askaban?
Yeah, it's bullshit but I'm in year 3 and it's honestly a bit of a guilty pleasure
I keep going back to it...
Sora Araxx It’s in the Apple App tore and I think Google Play store. I got it on my phone through the App Store.
There should’ve been the possibility that you can link up your Pottermore account, that way you can get your house, wand and patronus. Also, the storyline doesn’t make much sense in terms of canon, because the books never mention any Cursed Vaults or Cursed Ice in Hogwarts. Was Rowling even involved with the game?
Crusty Nacho It could’ve been a collab with Pottermore.
This game was made to be before the movies and books
I kind of enjoyed when I first started playing it but I got bored real quick and haven't really touched it since
Yup same story
I wich they could do a Skyrim/The Sims version Of the Harry Potter world on pc or console. A huuuuge open world where you can travel by broom of fast travel with disapparating. Main quest could be you choose the good or bad side and fight for them in mini-missions. Like getting a message to Ilvermorny or killing an informant. Or you could focus on your character and build them a stable life in the middle of the war. You only get materials from the time period of course. Who wouldn’t love Viking wizards?!
Tone Marit Vøllestad Håstul Aw man that's sounds cool but... Huge open world? Only players with high-end computers can play it. I plays GTA V (that has open world) on my 8GB RAM and I can only play it on medium setting without lags.
Jessie Brown Yeah I can see how that could be a problem on laptops.
Tone Marit Vøllestad Håstul they kinda already have a free roam Harry Potter game on console that’s not LEGO and it doesn’t have broom
Give ‘em hell Seamus! With all the technology and as crazy as they could have gone with this game...it is unbelievable that there isn’t even basic exploring with hidden things to find or interactions with other characters unless it is prompted! They could have used the speakers to allow us to say spells out loud combined with wand movements using our phones to cast spells. The classes could have actually been like real classes with mini-tests at the end to pass. Why isn’t Hogwarts express in this game? I have a million questions for these so-called game devs...they nailed the graphics at the expense of any and all interesting gameplay...☹️😣😖
*I’d just like to say not even the houses change that much since Snape literally despises you even when you’re in Slytherin. That is all
It would be sooooo epic if they made a harry potter/hogwarts game with the style, quality, freedom and actual interesting content as zelda breath of the wild
Hey guess what....
Wait, if they weren't bothered to make a new DAtDA teacher. Then who teaches it 5th year?
Raptorus77 I can’t find any previous DAtDA teachers names, so I have no idea who would have been in the job before Quirrell
They probably made three DADA teachers, but having DADA in year 1 would require 7 DADA teachers since they never stay there for more than a year.
Raptorus77 its DADA
Karalynn Thompson about 3-4 years before him
I think quirrel because mister Snape is still alive or Snape himself idk
One thing I noticed was that this game had such blatant stereotypes that were ripping off the original story. The typical Slytherin bully, the wimpy Gryffindor friend. The story actually felt interesting because the "Brother" thing felt interesting. But no, they had to ruin it with crappy time limits.
Funniest thing ever: I played the game until the end of year 3, but now I can‘t finish the year because the developers haven‘t released year 4 yet. It just tells me to be patient... They released a game that isn‘t even finished, wtf were they thinking?!
Tess Calated same here. I finished 2 chapters in year 4 and had to wait 5 days.
I have like the exact same opinion on it! And it costs gems and coins to choose how you look??? Apparently my hair is expensive
Played the game wrong buddy
Yes I did not get that
I mean in real life my hair IS expensive to sort out so....
Just win the freaking housecup, it's easy on year 1.
Human Dog
It’s easy until Year 4
Even when they added Quidditch, it’s just tapping circles within circles again... Unbelievable 🙄
I kind of like the game, it’s a time passer. I just hate the energy feature.
Yeah, exactly. It's atrocious but it's a good way for me to just waste time
Eh, I’m gonna continue playing it. The energy thing completely annoys me and the storyline is way too similar to Harry Potter, but I’m bored and it gives me something to do.
Besides, I want to finish the story. My curiosity is too strong. 😂
I didn't even notice that with the story line. I was more annoyed with how out of canon it is.
If you are bored and want something HP related and don't mind canon, read a fanfiction that is to your liking.
read a book xD
Then watch Let's Plays. I do that.
Yeah. Their ONLY problem is the gameplay honestly.
If they fix that, this would be an okay game.
You forgot the part where you have to retake classes... to begin another class, like... WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?!? I ALREADY LEARNED THIS 4 FREAKING TIMES!!!!
The funny thing is, when I got the notification that you made a new video, I was playing the game 😂
same lol
Wh.. Why am I seeing a Hogwarts Mystery game ad on a vid trashing it...?
99% of people: Complains about energy bar
1% of people: Appreciates the amount of work Jam City put in the game.
Nobody Interesting they didn’t put any work into it obviously
1% is the amount of work jam city put into the game.
That 1% being jam city
YES PLEASE
the animations are waaaay better than other games. People think all games must be to their liking. They should just appreciate the hard work . Most people cant make games half as good. ♡
Milla Pili no that’s not true what if I made a game and it took 4 years to make but it’s a game where you click on a png and after 2 minutes you have to wait an hour or two until you can do it again but I do have a cutscene or two with some good animation
I had to wait until my energy refilled before I could watch this 😂
The game is a complete and utter bullshit cash grab. The only reason I play it is because it's a guilty pleasure time waster for a few minutes when I'm bored (until I inevitably have to wait 8 hours for my next quest to unlock), but I haven't spent a cent on it and I don't intend to. The storyline really is just Harry Potter rehashed - not to mention that Rowan is Hermione, Ben is Neville, Merula is Draco, Tonks is Fred and George, and Tulip is a prototype of Luna, and of course there's no Ron equivalent because everyone hates Ron -_- I wasn't expecting a masterpiece but I was expecting SOME effort to be put into it.
Actually as of 2020 and all the updates the game is quite nice. There's Quidditch and Duelling Club, mini quests where you can become an Animagus or get your own Patronus, more ways to get free energy + the energy bar expands as you go and you can watch adds for resources, you can adopt magical creatures and take care of them. I'm in fifth year now and quite interested how the story evolves. Yes, you have to be patient about the energy (or pay for it) but it's not a game you binge in one night, it's more of an interactive fanfiction story with cool minigames where I can imagine myself in Hogwarts and hang out with Tonks and the others.
They should have connected it with Pottermore
YEEEEEES!!That would be great !!!
0:07 oh look it’s me lol
Oh my god! Congratulations!
FAKE!!
How am I a fake
Gum Drop no idea
Gum Drop lol
i literally stopped playing it before i finished the second year because i realized i had so many better things to do, like watch my wall
🤣🤣🤣 ...perfect!
Unfortunately... OCD has me determined to graduate... that and the amount of money I've already invested in the game.
Ok I'm gonna ruin the day for ya'll.
MADAM HOOCH'S TIE IS WRONG
IT GOES:
GRYFFINDOR HUFFLEPUFF
SLYTHEIRN RAVENCLAW
NO
Also im a PROUD HUFFLEPUFF and all my friends say i am "boring " like what !?
LBV Villanueva the one thing the game does right is Penny being a Hufflepuff and being popular.
I
WAITED
3
HOURS
FOR
MY
ENERGY
TO

THEN
IT
DEPLETED
IN
5
SECONDS
I actually forgot this game existed till I saw this video
Ha same
Same and I have it on my phone😂
Shows how entertaining it is really if I was able to forget it was there
Ha, I'm wearing my Ravenclaw socks while I was watching this!!
I have mine but I'm not wearing
At least Hufflepuff can win!
*#HUFFLEPUFFPRIDE*
Completely agree with you Seamus the game was super lazy.
This review is SOOOOOOO accurate
I was waiting for this game for so many months and the game was such a disappointment! I deleted it within half an hour!
The first time I played it, the customization for your avatar part got a bit wacky. Like all I saw was floating gums and eyes.
I can assure you, most people picked Gryffindor...
*Mentally prepares for 'actually, I picked Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw'*
P.S.. I have nothing against actual Gryffindors
P.S.S I'm ravenclaw
P.S.S.S I'm a she (someone said sir)
Cringey Gaming Actually I picked ravenclaw😂😂
I picked Slytherin
*'actually, I picked Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw'*
Actually, I picked Gryffindor...
I didn’t play but I would choose Gryffindor because I was SORTED into gryffindor and I don’t like when people judge me and call me a fake fan because the trio are in gryffindor and I hate those fake fans who are in gryffindor because of the trio
