Hogwarts Legacy

Ghost

Ok so...first impressions? I'm about 8 hours in and there's a shitload of stuff to do. Game is gorgeous and very low stress. Absolutely encapsulates the feeling of being a student at Hogwarts. It'll be hard not to see this game as a competitor for GotY.

I really can't bring myself to buy into anything which might drop royalties to Rowling.

I mean, be a TERF if you want, but keep that terribleness to yourself.

Ghost

@Ganymede That's fair. Rowling is a fucking moron. There were probably hundreds of reasonable ways to approach her concerns but she went and took probably the 2nd worst way possible of going about it.

Regardless, it IS a good game and I enjoy the setting.

@Ghost said in Hogwarts Legacy:

That's the other thing for me: I disliked the Harry Potter setting.

In fact, I disliked the movies and didn't care for the books either.

And this was before she took the hard TERF turn.

But it does look like a good game.

@Ghost I'm about 8 hours in and I'm loving it. This is generally not my type of game either(I'm generally more of a combat sports or Dark Souls person). I'm also not a huge Harry Potter fan. I enjoyed the movies and books well enough but only to read/watch them once each. This game, however, has sucked me right in and I can't seem to stop playing.

@ZombieGenesis Same. There's something very relaxing about the game while also having good puzzles and exploration. In the last few years I've really taken a shine to "lower stress" games like the Lego games or games with a "story" difficulty. I probably needed more relaxing games after being the "Soulsborne" gamer that I am.

Importing your WizardingWorld stuff was neat. Turns out I'm a Gryffindor. Huzzah
