I feel it's a real shame a large swath of games media aren't even willing to give this game a shot. It's a really well made game so far and I think there would be interesting conversations to have about how it handled it's IP compared to games like Star Wars Battlefront and Gotham Knights (bad examples but you get the idea). Is Digital Foundry skipping coverage too?

On the flip side, I've unfollowed and blocked anywhere that is not covering this game without a good reason to, for example simply not interested in HP?, thats fine its not for everyone, I'm not keen on LotR so don't really play those games, but not playing cause of JK Rowling, well then I want nothing to do with your view either as you've just told me I should be dictated to what media I can or cannot consume

DF are not immune, if they do not cover this at all, I'll find some other channel covering analysis instead

How did you get the hat?

Oi knicked it from a vicar in Gloucester.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Already broke the twitch record cyberpunk had. 1.3 concurrent viewers.

Opps. You did this resetera. Hahaha

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Glad I could contribute a title that people enjoy.

I actually don't really stan for Harry Potter. I read the books once. Yeah. But the meta story arc of logic vs. Idiocy is more entertainment than I could every expect for free, so fuck yeah, Hogwart's Legacy. Cheers.

That's not the only reason why I buy physical but yeah. This is a very rare possibility.
But I think Hogwarts on disc still requires internet like gt7....

In case you haven't watched this one yet:


Edit: Oops! Didn't realize it had been posted before Anyways, it's a great video. Go watch it.

This applies to every Internet boycott movement.

I think the "internet required" is just on the Xbox version, and only because Xbox required a longer production time, so the game on the disc is essentially unfinished. Pretty sure the PS5 version on the disk is essentially what is out now and playable start to finish, and doesn't require internet.

 

[BeardGawd]

The audacity of alienating the majority of their users. If people don't want to discuss the game they won't reply to threads about the game. Pretty simple.

btw there is a site to check this. No HL there yet

Kinda funny that the game has so much "diversity" and "representation" that the usual suspects constantly cry about and beg for but they still can't openly support it while all us "ists" and "phobes" are.

 

[Palliasso]

You guys have been good about this so far but just a reminder that spoilers should be clearly marked in this thread by using [ SPOILER ] tags. Since a lot of players are new to world of Hogwarts / Harry Potter, this also extends to the books and movies.

Feel free to create a separate (clearly labeled) spoiler free thread as needed.

 

[GymWolf]

Just to get this straight, the game still doesn't have a day one patch, correct??

 

[DosGamer]

The absolute icing on the cake would be for the studio to come out with a timeline fairly soon for DLC/ add ons.
Just knowing that other areas will be added or even quidditch. (spelling?). It could make this an early contender for game of the year.

Yep, this game is going to be a great filter to weed out all of the self important nutjobs.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Fact my grenades are Chinese Chomping Cabbages deserves this game GOTY on its own

Devs already said no quidditch for this game. It's even excused in the plot.

 

[belmarduk]

The dumbasses know they have failed trying to stop people from playing this game, so they have taken to posting open spoilers all over.. which is strange because how would they know this unless they played the game they ordered everyone else not to play?

They have resorted to posting spoilers?

It's impossible to have an answer, I hope not.

 

[sendit]

On normal some of these battles get hairy. I have survived many times by the skin of my teeth, using all of my spells and hurling things about. No way I am trying hard, lol.

Playing on hard, fights so far have not been overly challenging.

 

[GymWolf]

It's impossible to have an answer, I hope not.

Impossible to know if people who are already playing needed to download a big patch before playing the game?

I think it's a pretty easy question to answer...

 

[belmarduk]

They have resorted to posting spoilers?

Yes. They are doing everything which is calm, rational and sure to win everyone over to their side.

 

[Krathoon]

I am hesitant looking the game up on YouTube because someone might spoil it.

 

[cormack12]

I would love it, if they hid the game patches in Hogwarts and you had to find them and then cast a spell to apply them.

 

[phant0m]

Don’t visit gamingcirclejerk or twitter

 

[Flabagast]

Current version is 1.003, we don't know if it is supposed to be the day one version or not. For all we know there might not be any day one patch at all.

 

[jshackles]

Since the only version that's out is the digital deluxe edition. Digital versions are pre-patched to the latest build automatically. There hasn't been a patch released since the game went live yesterday, if that's what you're asking.

 

[Deerock71]

Sadly, not the case for Hans Gruber.

I’ll wager the spoilers ultimately came from the early access review code, so a so called “journalist” or the possibility of a woketard developer considering how long the game is meant to be and how quickly they were at it.

 

[Lunarorbit]

[Krathoon]

There was a patch on the PS5 version. Does the controller change color depending on the house you are in? Mine is purple for Ravenclaw.

 

[noomi]

So I just did the account link thing on the WB site, will I still have the sorting process happen in-game and will I be able to chose a different house if I'd want to.

I'd hate to think that by linking the account I would miss out on some sorting in-game dialog or cutscenes.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

There was no patch for me, just the initial download.

 

[MaKTaiL]

Great OT, loved the title as well.

 

[Ocean Dweller]

why was the PC performance OT closed?

It asked me one question that I answered then sorted me, i am not sure if that’s the full experience or cut down tbh, it then gives the option to confirm your house or choose another one.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I promised myself I would be strong of will, and wait for the standard release.

I am a very weak man.

its not? lol

 

[Lunarorbit]

I think the day one patch went out with the digital deluxe versions that people are playing like jshackles is saying

You can change your house. And later on you can completely change your wand too as well

If you are on 1.003 they probably already released the day one patch me think.

hahaha yeah
really genius marketing
of course everyone is getting the deluxe version
everything is aligning perfectly to make this game the huge success it deserves to be!

Only played around 4 hours but so far it's been a great time, looking forward to jumping back in.
