My favorite is this one:

"I want to burn this wretched world down seeing the number 1 on this list, and everyone playing this game will be my enemy, and I hope every one of you who plays the fucking Harry Potter game burn your hand into incapacitation, ban me if you want"

LMAO and of course the idiot isn't banned for saying that. Cringe.

Even funnier the people who cope saying that hogwarts has so many research on yt because of the terf controversy...

They really think that 99,99% of people outside of mental asy...social media, really care about that crap

They are just downright cute sometimes

 

[Davevil]

Era ?

 

[ANDS]

Lets ignore Starfield, spiderman and tears of kingdom for a minute there.

SPIDERMAN doesn't even had a release date and most people almost surely haven't been searching for "TEARS OF BLAH BLAH" but "BOTW2." HP fans searching for a game that is imminently available (like a little over a month away) with great fervor, versus one without a release date and one with a recent name change isn't shocking.

. . .so, relax.

 

[.Pennywise]

Looking forward to harry potter, but will await reviews.

This is gonna be quite the thing in the following month. There's probably gonna be a shitfest of skewed reviews taking into account stuff that don't actually mean anything for the actual game, which is a damn shame for all the people that only want to play the game and are not invested in certain people's war.

Who knew Harry Potter was so popular.

Nice, I finally have an enemy. I'll buy two copies!

[AJUMP23]

I disagree.

 

[FunkMiller]

Luke Stephens has done a video about this game, and some of the things he says are concerning:



The chance of heavy monetisation is bad, as is the track record of the developers.

Hoping for this to be great, but I'm as skeptical as he is at this point.

For me the biggest doubt is how unproven the studio is.

I can live with some monetization, i can't live with just a mediocre good looking game.

it blows my mind that something like that is acceptable by anyone in modern civilization.

what a wild thing to say lol

it‘s a non-theistic religion at this point, they act just like religious extremists

 

[ikbalCO]

Oh boy the purples are starting to break down a bit

I wish J.K Rolling were a good human because then we could freely discuss Hogwarts Legacy here.

Why does she have to suck?

Yeah. That thread is crazy.

It was basically hype thread where most of them admit they pre ordered or looking forward to play.

I guess they locked it now.

 

[balls of snow]

The salt mine at the purple dimension is enough to give you kidney failure.
Hahahahaha.

 

[Kataploom]

Most people buying Zelda don't even have to inform themselves about the game, they know they're gonna buy it and if it's bad, well so be it but most chances are that the game is great and they don't have to make sure on internet lol, that's as big of an IP Zelda is, internet searches mean nothing to it.

On the other hand, games with less global trust may have more people trying to see if it's worth it, and I think new IPs like Hogwarts Legacy and Starfield fall into this category.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Yeah. That thread is crazy.

It was basically hype thread where most of them admit they pre ordered or looking forward to play.

What a bunch of nuts over there.......

Meanwhile, if you say, "I like the game and am going to buy it" you get banned for a month for being dismissive. Yet this psycho is allowed to keep posting.

The fact that JK stands up for woman's rights and does not back down when being unfairly demonised and attacked I find a positive.

 

[Luipadre]

What a bunch of nuts over there.......

what a fucking weirdo jesus

 

[Putonahappyface]

Lets ignore Starfield, spiderman and tears of kingdom for a minute there.

Easily. For me anyway.

 

[Flutta]

We all know Tears will sell the most in the end. That Switch userbase is massive.
Starfield is being held back by MS for being console exclusive AND it’s ”free”to rent so it won’t bring in those Skyrim or even fallout numbers. Whoever believe’s that is dumb dumb.
Potter is a huge IP/franchise, can it bring in big numbers? it’s also multiplat so yeah i believe it will.
Can’t wait for those purple tears to flow over it

Overall
1) Tears
2) Potter
3) Spiderman
…
…
7) Starfield

 

[Putonahappyface]

 

[Iced Arcade]

Most of those other games have shown absolutely nothing so obviously there isn't much to search.

 

[Boneless]

Yeah. That thread is crazy.

It was basically hype thread where most of them admit they pre ordered or looking forward to play.

I guess they locked it now.

Link?

Also, on the potential for heavy monetisation, that would be doomed to fail in a single player only game, so I doubt that but who knows.

 

[Mossybrew]

There's probably gonna be a shitfest of skewed reviews taking into account stuff that don't actually mean anything for the actual game

Should start taking bets now on how many words Polygon's review will dedicate to Rowling's "problematic politics" or whatever.

whoever made this study must be shot.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I'm sure it will perform well but internet searches is a dumb metric to measure this.

 

[.Pennywise]

Also, on the potential for heavy monetisation, that would be doomed to fail in a single player only game, so I doubt that but who knows.

I thought the same. But the last showcase of the game showed that it has some freaking Pokemon x Chao Garden stuff. People will just go nuts on it no matter what

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Makes sense. HP is a huge transmedia franchise.

 

[Ghost23]

This forum is far from the main audience of gaming now, so I expect people to be confused, but don't be surprised when Hogwarts Legacy is the best selling game in 2023.

 

[GymWolf]

Makes sense. HP is a huge transmedia franchise.

Pun intended?

 

[Robb]

Wouldn’t trust that list.

 

[speckz]

Um, pass.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Its mine for sure. Been waiting for this game my whole life. Its literally a dream come true for me.

 

[Windle Poons]

I am sorry but no way a harry Potter game is that big from these 3.
Movie wise yes, but game wise nope.

I know someone who is buying a PS5 just for this game.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[HAYA8U5A]

What a bunch of nuts over there.......

With how much literal shaking is going on we might have to literally start issuing tsunami warnings.

 

[Flabagast]

I know someone who has stopped playing video games 10 years ago who is planning to buy a PS5 only for Hogwarts Legacy. It will be an absolute monster.

Although I am afraid it will not be a very good game at all based on what we have seen.

 

[Exede]

Can't find the link to this study. Who made it, how many entered, could they chose any game? I need more infos

Yeah that's not toxic at all!

I thought the Just Cause Avalanche was working on this?

 

[consoul]

This is not 'a study'.
This in no way determines the most anticipated game.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

The fact that JK stands up for woman's rights and does not back down when being unfairly demonised and attacked I find a positive.

Lol. What? Rowling hasn't done shit for womens rights. This is the dumbest thing I've read today.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

wow. i cannot even imaging how the discourse around this game is going to be when actually launches.

well. keep fighting muggles. bye.

 

[Duchess]

It'll certainly end up being the most controversial release of 2023, what with the LBTQ+ community at war with JK Rowling, and urging people not to buy it.

You ask me, the game will shift millions of copies, despite all the protests, since most people don't care about Rowling's position on trans / self identity.

 

[Raven117]

If its good, I will buy it. If its not, I wont.

There is going to be alot coming out this year, even with some inevitable delays. So, its all good.

 

[Boneless]

Lol. What? Rowling hasn't done shit for womens rights. This is the dumbest thing I've read today.

She is an influencing voice for women's rights, whether you like that or not.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I believe it. Even people in my friend circle who are not really gamers are talking about it.

 

[JayK47]

Well it is about time I pre-order this. Just to support the poor devs who likely get death threats from crazy "gamers".

 

[Arachnid]

It makes sense. Potter has a Star Wars level fanbase. This is something that appeals to people who aren't even really gamers. It'll sell off name alone, like Spiderman.
