It's settled, getting the digital deluxe on Steam.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Great news, thanks for the info.

Just keep in mind graphics aren't everything to me but I'm gonna repost this:
Wife (Series x, performance mode) and I (series s, balanced mode) have been playing for 2 hours. Game looks significantly better on the X. And oh yeah, this games gonna sell massively!

 

[oji-san]

If they don't review the game they can keep their DF review as well, enough sites that will do instead.
All this boycott games can go both ways you know.

Did they say what their plans are?

Damn I might need to get into harry Potter now.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

DF didnt get a code, will be getting one today/tomorrow?

 

[Fools idol]

Interesting. Probably deliberately delayed due to a number of other reviews pointing out visual problems and pop in on all versions, which DF will amplify more than other reviewers.

 

[balls of snow]

Now can we get a lord of the rings game that respects the lore and have the attention to detail as Hogwarts Legacy.

I read the review and it didn't feel incongruent with the score at all. Definitely a justified score even caveated with the tech performance (which sounds like expected hiccups here and there) and enemy variety (this one does concern me but something tells me there's sub-enemy variety).



Some of the conspiracy theories were (and still are) absolutely batshit insane. I'm sure they're in the wings rationalizing in some way how this unqualified positive reception is actually PROOF of the industries collusion. . .or something.



Nah. I didn't consider your post to be that. I responded as I did because some of you are just LOOKING for a reason to hang on to the "game journos are against this game!" narrative - especially over a reasonable take.

. . .and I thought I was pretty clear in my comment: the constant fascination folks have with OTHER forums is a detriment to this one.

What do you want us to talk about? The game isn't out yet, so we can take the piss out of ReeeStapo while we wait.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Ahhh. So that's the reason for the review delay. But that doesn't explain the zero coverage for a year Topher said.

But maybe that's due to it going hand and hand. Less coverage you do, the later you get the review copy.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

If you're in the UK I'll buy it for you too.

Jesus that's damn generous of you! If you're feeling anymore of that generosity. Throw some my way please!

I dont even care about HP media, but I enjoy reading all the threads. Good laughs. Great to see internet losers' asses get zapped by JK's magic wand.

And lets face it, I highly doubt JK was involved making this video game. It was likely in name only for the franchise.

So even when she's not actively part of the content, she still wins. lol

No motion blur and improper frame pacing confirmed.

[solidus12]

I'm willing to bet that Resetera mods will quietly be playing this, while banning anyone from talking about it.

Do as I say, not as I do.

They will require members to show them their trophies/achievements on a daily basis.
They will ban anyone who has played the game.

It's not even about that, she said nothing wrong, if you worry about woman rights you aren't against trans so the whole thing is just messed up. I'm very happy to see the good reviews.

Generally about 9-10 months.

But bad sellers can be 6 months. But Star Wars games I think were 12 months.

Edit: As some said above, HP isnt an EA game. I forgot too.

Thanks for the info. I'll hope for 6 months, but expect 12 months.

We're in 2023. This will be a time of undeniable, unprecedented gamey greatness. I'm expecting amazing reviews throughout the year!

Damn that's awesome and wholesome of you. Respect to that.

Ok this look kinda fun.

I always thought wands looks wacky - still do, but damn I can't deny this looks cool AF.

My Gf is a big fan and is also hyped, but given tight economy she doesn't mind to wait until it goes on sale and the ps exclusive content hits xbox.

 

[SRTtoZ]

5 different performance modes?? Sick. I'm going visuals all the way on my first playthrough just because it's so fucking clean looking. I wonder if RT will be worth the hit. Usually isn't.

lol....you are going to be disappointed if you are waiting for this to be on EA Play

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Wait...they banned users saying that a trans character is a part of the game and how happy they were about it? Because to them what's forbidden is actually naming the damn game and not the discussion around it, even from people that are on their "side"?

 

[Gudji]

No wonder most reviewers play console release, look that pc performance, dropping to 25fps with RTX3080, a lot of bugs, graphical glitches, insane ram usage, hope the day 1 patches are magical, or the reviewers pc is trash

I'm good gonna pick that up in 2 years or so.

[SlimySnake]

This is perfect. just how you deal with these nutjob publications. The moment you give in you normalize them. By denying them access to review copies, you are effectively ghosting them which is exactly how to curb this sort of online virtue signaling.

 

[Adam_802]

lol I hope DF doesn't let Alex review it.......

 

[Neilg]

Oh wow they put a trans character in the game. Now we all can sleep easy. Wouldnt want to have a game without one god forbid.

lol if you think thats an irrelevant detail for this game. JK rowling is going to lose her SHIT.

 

[Metnut]

I'm not interested in this game but my wife (who is a complete non-gamer) wants to check this out since she loves Harry Potter. I don't really want to get it for PS5 and have her wanting to use the system all the time.

Hopefully the Switch version runs ok lol.

1 year for single player games like Jedi etc. Hogwarts though will be a good while longer before it turns up on EA Play I'd say.

What the fuck? Sometimes i forget how ridiculous some of my bans were in there as well back when i was on ERA, lmao.

lmao. How did you get permabanned there? You never posted anything even remotely controversial on era. They must have seen you post here on gaf.

 

[MirageMew2]

Any mention of DualSense haptics/adaptive trigger use?

 

[Topher]

The developer said this would be the case two years ago. Doesn't seem like Rowling cares

 

[Putonahappyface]

High scores and people crying. It's been a good week lol.

 

[Flabagast]

Some reviewers are calling it the best western open world in years, and notably the world design is described as astonishing with a ton of surprises, non duplicated assets, dedicated events, unique and weird content, and so on..

I pity people that will miss it for misplaced judgment.

Considering the PS5 version doesn't run great and has loading pauses at every door (according to that IGN review anyways), I can't imagine the Switch version running well at all.
