Hogwarts Legacy — That RPG that's really upsetting people who liked Harry Potter

[Shillitron]

Good example of how RPGs have lost touch with their adventure gaming side, this would have been a great time to showcase adventure elements.

I can't tell if I'm out of touch and a niche demographic.. or if game devs are all hacks who can only copy the 'latest thing' until we are all so apathetic we don't even give a pity buy.

Do games need giant epic storylines?

I don't even know if many modern devs know how to make games.

[Dead]

Devs are given a list of things that must be included in every game they make, regardless of the game they're making. Whether these things are appropriate for the specific game is irrelevant to them.

As we've seen with leaks coming out of Ubishit - a lot of this is outside the developers hands.
You've essentially got some retarded CEO turning every game into his little fiefdom and dictating what he wants.

Then after he's done destroying any semblance of uniqueness or fun - the congo line of marketers and bean counters come in to dress it up in DLC / Microtransactions / Console Exclusivity Deals / etc..

Not to excuse Developers since their primary goal seems to be inserting political messaging.


Really when it all adds up. It's a trifecta of failure.
Nobody in this process has the consumer's enjoyment as their primary goal.

I had to look up the actress for the generic female voice, and she's pretty cute:

She's got no other titles she's worked on, so far.

[Tweed]

This games seems so generic.
It's supposed to take place in 1890s, yet if it was said it takes place in current year, nothing would change.

this. Wouldn't it be fun if we were able to see a stricter, hardcore Hogwarts? Just like how strict and tyranical boarding schools were in the past.



Imagine this, but with magic.

How about with demons?

[The_Mask]

I'm watching streams in the background right now, while I'm at work. First impressions are good. They tried to make magic battles and sneaking just like you saw them in the movies/described in the books.

For a mediocre, please-all AAA title, it could've been worse.

I can't think of anything gayer than buying a full-priced AAA game to think you are sticking it to transsexuals when you could instead just go outside and beat the shit out of one and do the six months of community service.

If you are GGS, I hope you are planning to share some of those cute goth girls with me

Only post-rape ones.

Also specify which GGS you mean. Do you mean the original GGS, the GGS-800, Violent GGS, Shin GGS, Ted Dibiase's GGS?

I did buy multiple copies of KCD when it launched to support Dan Vavra when the woke mob went after him and his studio, even though I honestly didn't like the game very much. But that situation is a lot different than this one. Emphasis on historical accuracy without token niggers being add into his game was a 100% solidly legit position, whereas the mob is going after this game because woke bitch JK Rowling disagreed with them on 1 thing, and this game was caught up in the flack. EA and WB can get fucked.

[The_Mask]

The real thing about this game is that, so far, it seems to be more of an... action-adventure. The RPG elements in it are so lite, they might as well be none.

KCD has slowly gained a cult following. Its a really good game, but its not what it was pitched as, so a lot of people were disappointed back then. Id advice playing it without expectations, you will have a great time.

The one that had drip.

[Ravenloft]

Can't wait to play as a pureblood Slytherin who wants to crush all mudbloods and non-human creatures under his boot. It's the nineteenth century, so surely they'll let us play according to the dominant viewpoint of that time? Right?

So far, from all the streams I've seen, most creatures that you fight are monsters. Not a lot of humans. And you can't attack your classmates, or any other peers. The game doesn't seem to be aimed at adults or little children. It seems to be aimed at the 14 to 18 demographic.

When I played KCD (near launch), it was horribly optimized to the point where it was basically unplayable, like low 20s in towns walking around. It was one of the worst optimized games I've played in years. Have these issues been addressed? I also found the combat to be comical at best. For a combat system that was allegedly based on realism, I had guys with 5 arrows in their face still coming at me as if they were completely unimpaired. I might have given it more of a chance if it didn't run so poorly.

[Shillitron]

I can confirm that you can not cast spells on students.
This game is basically "explore a dead open world to find collectables" mixed with "on the rails story".

My expectations were near-zero and I was still disappointed.

The saddest part.. it's still the best game to release in the last year..

SpellForce: Conquest of Eo was released a few days ago. It looks good.

Is it a HoMM clone or...?

Marvel's Midnight Suns is definitely better than the game you just described. So is Sonic Frontiers and probably a bunch of other things if I thought hard enough about it.

It looks like HoMM + MoM with more RPG elements.

[Fargus]

Didn't even have to click the video to see a nigger *sigh*

Good news, it has canon tranners too https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/934 ... irona-ryan

Edit: The voice

LOL everything in this scene looks like a joke... the cringy zoomer wizard with fake tan aka the error of character creation, the weirdo niggnog that sounds like the boy-chick you feud with in fable 1 and then the obvious tranny inclusion no matter the reason behind it. I guess for some grifters this is probably a based game.

[Dead]

Why wouldn't the bartender make his voice higher pitched with magic? Makes no sense

[rusty_shackleford]

Same reason he didn't just magic himself a vagina, it's clownworld logic. Like putting a transgender person in a game with magic that allows you to swap your sex.

[Fargus]

7 years ago people were asking the same question about tranny from Siege of Dragonspear. Like, why didnt that retarded tranny used the magic or some item of gender swap or asked some wizard to trannify her or whatever?

Because they have an agenda to push down your throat. Thats why.

That would be admitting that certain basic criteria have to be met in order for someone to be considered a woman, which would break the narrative. If he gave himself a high pitched voice in order to be more like a woman that would mean that a high pitched voice is something that a women are expected to have, and you are more like a woman if you have one, but of course certain sexes can't be expected to have certain traits because that is retrograde bigoted thinking. He doesn't give himself a more feminine voice because a woman obviously doesn't need a feminine voice. A woman can sound like a gruff man, and also have a beard, and a penis.

That would be their argument, but real life transgender people tend to reinforce gender norms (skirts, long hair, makeup, speech patterns) much more aggressively than actual women. I understand why the devs included this character, but this undermines the game's internal consistency, which should concern HP fans.

[Cedric]

They don't want to be women. They want to be freaks and get attention. If they truly, genuinely wanted to be women they'd

• Not attempt to transition if their bones and height aren't suitable for it
• Never ever talk about trans issues because they consider themselves women in anything but biology
• Resent all these disgusting transgender freaks for making them look bad
