My dad and I played these games together when I was a kid. We still shout "BEANS" at one another, usually from opposite ends of the house, when I go back home. What a throwback, thank you
I feel him. Basically no game can really come close to the idea of roleplaying as a role that doesn't really exist in such a fundamental way. Shits just hard to get right. But hits so good when it works
That portrait might have been on the second floor… in Britain. Remember that in Britain we have the ‘Ground Floor’ when you enter a building. So while the American second floor would be up one flight of stairs, the British second floor would be up 2 flights of stairs.

I loved the order of the phoenix game as a kid. Distinctly remember playing it all day when I was home sick once (then pretending I was still sick the next day to play some more)
I had a physical copy of this game, one of the only physical games my parents ever bought me. But it was in german and I didn't know how to get through the dementor intro so I put it away and eventually it probably ended up in the trash.
My parents got me a bootleg copy of the fourth game and language wasn't selectable there. And none of the alteration made to settings were kept on the game's relaunch.
Lark from Grayfruit here, I made all those Harry Potter videos. Played the fourth one many years ago and even when I was a kid I remember it being so disappointing swapping from the open world format, and knowing that it felt way cheaper without understanding at the time. I was sorta wondering if it was worth checking out again. Loved that right away you said "Not buggy enough to be fun in that regard". RIP that's clearly the best part. I also had 4 on the gameboy and Mad Eye said "Damn" and I was like "oh shit this is serious business don't tell my mom".
I grew up on the PC versions of Philosopher and Chamber, and this right here, the switch from open world to linear kills so much of what I loved about the first two as a kid. There was so much that was special about it being almost pseudo metroidvania finding areas you couldn't access till you learnt spells later in the game, while getting to roam around the castle. Also as an avid grayfruit fan (and a fan of you Lark
I actually prefer Pat when he's not getting mad at Elder Scrolls. I think he's a lot more forgiving when the game in question hasn't stopped a Morrowind 2 from existing
Pat, if you're gonna cover Half Blood Prince, check out some of the YT videos covering it. I remember a good few of them saying it was the "first HP game to have a full open world". This shocked me as I grew up playing OotP!
This is true. HBP took what made OOTP good and expanded upon it. Better controls, better dueling, added flying and FIXED THE CAMERA. HBP was actually enjoyable. And oh the potions mini game was decent too. Highly recommend if your a Harry potter fan.
@@forza8719 That's what I've heard, but I sadly haven't played HBP before. I just don't want people discounting OOTP because HBP did it better. OOTP walked so that HBP could run
idk why but because i was very tired today(it's the same day, i still am) i was getting sleepy on front of a monitor and i was like "damn... this Mandaloregaming video is fire..." but it's my boy Patrician, keep the good work, i love both, short and ultra long videos of yours c:
I seem to remember that Goblet of Fire had some sort of a combo system where you help each other with the spells? Had great fun with the multiplayer back in the day, I figure that's how it was meant to be played
Games 5 and 6 were really amazing for me in the PS2, games were amazing for the time they were made and unlike some games today, these were hella long with lots of things to do, besides it made you feel like you were a part of everything Really missing that feeling
Honestly I enjoyed HP and the Order of the Phoenix a lot, mostly for the open world aspects. It featured some places we'd never explored before like the owlery. Oh and also little details like the talking gargoyles were a lot of fun!
They aren't humans, there's nothing wrong to putting them down. It's not sarcasm btw. It's fun and it feels right to stick to "human master race" playthrough in rpgs

I see video from Pat, I click like button, then I am sad after video end, now click dislike because only twice entertain mind of plebs like myself so i guess we want to overthrow the motherfucking government and crush capitalism forever. conclusion makes sense if you don't think about it thank you for not asking for this comment you're welcome goodbye 🫂
Wow I had buried the memory of Goblet of Fire until seeing this video. In retrospect, they clearly tried to emulate the exact same style as the Return of the King game - just worse. Also, it's nuts to me that Order of the Phoenix came out the same year as Mass Effect. . .
Hey Patrician, I really recommend playing Half Blood Prince, it’s basically Order of the Phoenix except with almost everything improved, the camera was changed, story better implemented, and had a lot of additional features, including quidditch, which you can now walk to. It seemed to be OOTP except the basic formula they tried was now more “complete.” I was really captured by OOTP’s rendition of Hogwarts when I rented it from blockbuster as a kid, and tried to revisit that by buying HBP later. When I finally tried OOTP again, I was disappointed by how stripped down the place felt, and that the game was over in 2 hours. (Edit) Then again, my memory may fail me, and I can’t think of HBP letting the player use spells to solve as many environmental puzzles around the grounds, and instead replaces much of that gameplay time with new and more repetitive mini games such as the potions class.
I was going to say that I enjoyed the usage of spells to solve castle puzzles over potions. AS much as I LOVE potions class. Though Quidditch gameplay was awesome. In my first playthrough, I remember playing days on end trying to beat the game, not realizing I had already beaten it. XD Too short.
Something about the visual style of the goblet of fire game reminds me of the return of the king PS2 game. Even the attempted photorealism of the character models.
I liked GoF. It's only bad if you expect the style of the first 3 games, but once you look at it for what it is (a collection of individual challenges), it's pretty fun.
Order of the Phoenix was my first Harry Potter game (and the movie was the last one I saw somehow, having skipped it for the ones that come after) but it was easily my favorite.
Wonder why no one has ever made an attempt at a high-production AAA game based on all the books and movies, all packaged into one continuous game. Make it be like 60-hours-long, diving into every aspect of the books and movies that exists so you can experience the definite version of the story. It would sell, surely, but just take time.
I played the Stone of Synonyms on both PS1 & PC, and Chamber on a few different consoles which I enjoyed back then heavily despite their issues. When I got Goblet of Fire for Christmas one day, I played it for 15 minutes and hated it. I couldn't figure out why, but seeing it again here awakened some PTSD and I realize I wasn't insane for disliking it so much.
I remember playing these on my absolute dogshit PC back in the day. It was close to unplayable even on the lowest settings. I eventually got tired of it and never got around to playing them again. Guess I haven't missed out on much.
Chamber of Secrets on ps2 was one of my first video games, I also loved the third game too. They were fun games and I wish they would remaster them. But I remember then playing the fourth game, imagine my disappointment lol. The best part of the games was the open exploration and they took that away. Order of the Phoenix was really rough but at least better. Half Blood felt like an improved version of the 5th game, but also with super good music for some reason. The last two games were an abomination.
Goblet of Fire was such a mess on PC. On top of regular issues of worlds being being backwards and not being able to control the camera at all so you often had to interact with things blind, keyboard controls were incredibly broken. Wingardium Leviosa was wonky back on windows xp, but when I tried to play the game few years back on win7, they just refused to work. Keys would not register, keys would stop registering when I still held them, keys would stop registering and then register again several times when I held them for few seconds... It made than spell completely unsuable, not to mention arrow keys going from 0 to 60 made controling levitating objects impossible (when cast button actually worked that is). One thing I do have to admit however is that ambiance and mood of the levels were fantastic, especially sound design. Distant echoes, sounds of wind, environmental objects being interacted with... it all came together quite beautifully.
I think I remember liking goblet of fire the best movie wise, it had a lot going on, it was dark, the lighting was really good, and it expanded on stuff outside the one magic school. I’ve probably seen that one the most over the years
i remember being completely shattered that they changed the format and although i played it 100 % i hated the game as a kid. Compared to the first 3 games, this was nothing but a scam
Half Blood Prince uses the same map but expands on it, adds more areas etc. Makes going back to OOTP confusing. If you play HBP...be warned potions is extremely glitchy and unfortunately it's a massive mechanic.
Man I remember I had order of the phoenix for my ps2. My siblings got pretty far into the game and I would mess around with the mini games and get bored of them. Then I would walk around the castle for a while, get bored of that, then I would switch to battlefront II for a good time
I’m of that generation that was growing up along with Harry Potter’s main characters so this franchise is very dear to me. I loved the first three games, played them on PC as they released. When I started playing Goblet of fire I was so disappointed with changes made to that one that I immediately uninstalled it and never played a HP game again. Looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy with cautious optimism.
Actually, I remember getting Order of the Phoenix as a gift for Christmas. In a box. You see, I do not know if this was the case in other countries, but in Poland, EA had this series called 'EA Classics' where they rereleased some of their older titles for a relatively reasonable price, and while they had soome of the shovelware, I remember having Mass Effect 2 and 3, Crysis, Dragon Age, and a bunch of other good games (actually, there were many similiar series by different publishers, and I am certain they - unlike the EA one - still come out today.)
We had Sony do that here in the UK, same with M$ and Nintendo. Oddly, never 3rd party guys, wonder why they had different approaches between our locations?
@@Canadish My guess is that it's due to Poland being a... well, let's just say, a bit behind, economically and technologically, so these rereleases would have a higher chance of being successful than they would be in the west, where buying new games is simply more affordable - in the sense that Canadian (I think I am safe to assume you are Canadian lol) minimum wage is roughly three times higher than Poland's, but the games on release cost the same, so fewer people would buy those games on release; this also translates to the fact that fewer people will have adequate hardware on release to run these games - meaning that selling somewhat older stuff relatively cheaply has a much larger amount of people who would be interested in buying these where they couldn't do so on release date.
I was playing this with my sister a long time ago. I wanted to go one way and she wanted to go the other way. On the level where you are on top of Hogwarts. Well because of the camera I got trapped on a corner and so did she.
2:03 I can tell you that the thing you miss out on the most from skipping to play co-op, is that you have actual brains (or at least a person who can listen when you speak) behind the control of what would've been AI otherwise. Seriously, my one other memory besides HP4 being shit was that the AI was moronic, with sections of the game needing multiple people to cast the same spells to help power through, the AI would decide that it doesn't want to help you cast, at random. Or it would help you cast, only to stop before you've gotten any progress. And still, it's better than the two Deathly Hallows games, the second of which I didn't even bother trying to play after my frustrations with the first one.
‘HARRY, DID YOU SWITCH TO LINEAR GAMEPLAY?’ Dumbledore asked calmly.
"Moody": "You gotta play to your strengths!"
Harry: "Well I'm good with open worlds. But I'm not allowed the budget."
I remember loving this game, its weird hearing people shitting on it.
@@Bronimin Maybe you associate it witha part of your childhood
@@JasonX909 You’re allowed, a BEAN...
@Weuyn I enjoyed the "coop" aspect but hated the linear gameplay as a kid coming IMMEDIATELY from POA and OOTP.
My dad and I played these games together when I was a kid. We still shout "BEANS" at one another, usually from opposite ends of the house, when I go back home. What a throwback, thank you

Wonder why no one has ever made an attempt at a high-production AAA game based on all the books and movies, all packaged into one continuous game. Make it be like 60-hours-long, diving into every aspect of the books and movies that exists so you can experience the definite version of the story. It would sell, surely, but just take time.
Harry Potter came and went about a decade too early for that to be feasible.
I just discovered that your 12 hour long video needed around 256gb just to upload.... damn such dedication.

Played 5 on pc and Wii multiple times, it's one of my fondest childhood gaming memories.
24:12 You also use the Invisibility Cloak to unlock the Secret Passage through the Dungeons.
Why does this game look so much like the return of the king game? Its like an unholy offspring of that and lego star wars

Idk what else she said but didnt Rowling just say only women are women

I played the crap out of GoF on Pc when I was a kid, but only now I find out I never ever used the card unlockables.
Goblet of Fire was such a mess on PC. On top of regular issues of worlds being being backwards and not being able to control the camera at all so you often had to interact with things blind, keyboard controls were incredibly broken. Wingardium Leviosa was wonky back on windows xp, but when I tried to play the game few years back on win7, they just refused to work.

I was hoping you'd look at the new forest game. Looks like it's getting way too much hype. It looks nice, but when I watch game play it feels empty.

Funny, because it's by far one of the worst adaptations, the movie doesn't hold a candle to the book. They cut the most interesting bits.
Hope you do half blood pronce I remember saving up for it and playing the shit out of it as a kid , wonder how it holds now adays
i remember being completely shattered that they changed the format and although i played it 100 % i hated the game as a kid. Compared to the first 3 games, this was nothing but a scam
There is no remastering to fix these games, and with Legacy, the chances of them doing HP years 1-7 again is so low.

@@Canadish My guess is that it's due to Poland being a... well, let's just say, a bit behind, economically and technologically, so these rereleases would have a higher chance of being successful than they would be in the west, where buying new games is simply more affordable - in the sense that Canadian (I think I am safe to assume you are Canadian lol) minimum wage is roughly three times higher than Poland's, but the games on release cost the same, so fewer people would buy those games on release; this also translates to the fact that fewer people will have adequate hardware on release to run these games - meaning that selling somewhat older stuff relatively cheaply has a much larger amount of people who would be interested in buying these where they couldn't do so on release date.
I was playing this with my sister a long time ago. I wanted to go one way and she wanted to go the other way. On the level where you are on top of Hogwarts. Well because of the camera I got trapped on a corner and so did she.

I can tell you that the thing you miss out on the most from skipping to play co-op, is that you have actual brains (or at least a person who can listen when you speak) behind the control of what would've been AI otherwise.
Seriously, my one other memory besides HP4 being shit was that the AI was moronic, with sections of the game needing multiple people to cast the same spells to help power through, the AI would decide that it doesn't want to help you cast, at random. Or it would help you cast, only to stop before you've gotten any progress.
And still, it's better than the two Deathly Hallows games, the second of which I didn't even bother trying to play after my frustrations with the first one.
I played this when I was younger
seeing footage of HP5 gameplay unlocked a memory of playing it on the wii. what the fuck
both games were different but i still really enjoyed them when i was young
I had 5 and 6 on ps3 but gave them to a friend over a decade ago, I remember liking 5, and barely remember 6
I still have the box set of the ps2 games
I always thought that OOTP stood out well among the harry potter video games. I never realized just how bad goblet of fire was though.
