Hogwarts Legacy Review – Controversial and FUN

I agree with J.K. Rollins stance. Don't be a hater, cause haters are losers!

The wizard woman is a terrible person that uses her immense wealth and influence to fund transphobic projects. She is one of the driving forces behind certain movements in parts of the world where I thankfully do not live. She directly profits of everything related to the wizard IP. So, I personally have decided to not give her a single cent. I do believe that others shouldn't do either. But you're not automatically a bigot if you do (you might be a bigot, but not because you bought the game).

If you spent money on that game, at least let it be a damn good one.

Also, trans rights are human rights.

I like you a lot and I want to play it when I free up my time but I am not necessarily a fan of how you approached the J.K.Rowling part of this. I am not expecting you to die on a hill defending or trashing her but to say you don't care comes off as, well careless and thoughtless. Pretending to be apathetic about it all comes off as pretty callous.

I wish you had said something more like this:

I want to be clear that I think the people who are witch hunting people over playing it are assholes. But if you are playing this game just to stick it to lefties, or transgender individuals, that too also makes you an asshole. No one deserves the harassment on either side and its not justified no matter what you think. If you want to play the game, you should and if you don't want to, then don't. But enough of the toxic discourse. People on the left AND the right need to learn that not everything needs to be so serious, it's just a game.

They should make some – good dlc's

Hogwarts Legacy is a good game… at first. Frankly the game gets super repetitive after the first 6 or so hours and the side missions are just too similar to each other.
It really felt like there was so much more they cut out, and I really think the game suffers for it.
Still better than Fortnite but in my opinion that isn't saying much.
The progression is not well rounded and in my opinion does not work at all. This is mostly due to the fact that I'm the kind of person who will search the areas I have available as to not miss things when other areas become available, so I end up collecting field guide pages and hitting level 16 before I've ever left the Castle when my missions are for characters level 2-5 at that point.

Finally someone who does not fall for the ideological people who try to force their drama onto a place that is not connected to their apology-hunt.

You a Potter fan? Lol

Oh, I see. It is sad that you didnt bother to properly look under all the layers and clues that actually show what JKR thinks of trans people. For crying out loud, she even has stated that she thinks that people who support her also support her worldviews. And, you know, she is funding campaigns in UK that take away medcial right from trans people.

It isnt about the game. You play it, whatever. But I do hope you also support the people who actually, in real life, are being hurt by your purchase because that portion of that money is still going to JKR and she will use that money to attack trans people. So, please consider supporting the other side too, at least.

We have always had little allies. Most people just dont understand what the fuss is about. There are trolls out there who have blown this out of proportion. Playing the game wont make you a "bad" person, but your take of "i dont give a shit anymore" simply means that 1) trans people will be more wary of you if next june you announce that you are an ally of LGBT. Because we wont trust you anymore. And 2) where is your journalists curiosity and integrity? When I saw the title I hoped you would at least make a video about the roots of the problem. You know the game isnt a problem. Its sinply a catalyst for all the shit thats been going on. You know that. So why was it so hard to make an informed video instead of joining the trans hating reactionaries?

Trans rights are human rights. I hope you can at least agree with me on that. Let people live in peace. And dont fund transphobes or nazist game devs who support them.

My only complaint is some spells are worthless. Like Repairo. Why does that go into a slot? It could've been just a prompt on interactable broken objects. The light spell Lumos didn't need a slot either. It could've been a core spell that you always have on you.

I'm not much of a Potter fan like many of my peers were (that now hate her despite their HP tattoos lol) but I always thought the world was pretty cool. I think I will buy this game once I have the money to, mainly because it seems like a FULL game that isn't trying to push microtransactions on you, and isn't a glitchy mess, AND does the bare minimum regarding its female characters and female player characters. I know many people might find this weird to hear, but this is a feminist game in the sense that it's just normal about women and gay people, aka it's a rational take. Sure it's no freedom fighter for the marginalized, but it provides a taste of what an equal game looks like. And of course, everyone loves it except for the people looking to erode the rights of others and those who want special treatment. The numbers don't lie, there's a market for stuff like this if you do them well, and controversy, harassment campaigns, mean nothing but positives to it's success. I'm glad people are waking up to this, Tumblr and Twitter make for the WORST echo chambers and it can be disheartening when you think that's how most people actually think….it is not, thank goodness

looks like they used The Witcher 3's UI, it looks like a clone. The colors and style of the HUD and text

I love this game. BUT the Broom Flying Controls are TERRIBLE on PC.

JK Rowling pointed out facts.. these rainbow kids can't handle the truth.
I love her 100x more for her courage.

The funny thing is they really tried pandering to those that ended hating them the most 🤣

Love the intro and 100% agree

It's a great game. Really enjoying it. Wish the story could have been more dynamic, the world more interactable .. I'm trying to slay, steal and pillage from my fellow students but it's not letting me 🙁

Big thanks to twitter for the heads up, I'd probably never have heard of this game otherwise

of, I thought you moved away gaming? best sort out your channels identity crisis and I might sub again

Considering the past games the studio made (like Cars 3), I'm actually surprised at how well done and polished this game is.
It's a shame about the morality system because they gave the game different endings, in that way the impact of your choices is unseen. But there are so many games out there that claim that your choices make a difference and actually they don't, they only change the dialogue a little and that's it (looking at you DAI) so, I'm fine with it because at least HL is fun and the story is quite nice.
Hopefully they will release a DLC to play quidditch.

The game is awesome. J.K. speaks common sense which makes the woke cult mob go off the deep end. I consider that a bonus.

I'm so going to buy this game once I'm able, I'v been waiting for a game that comes out and just works. Minimal bugs no microtransaction no BS, a full price game worthy of the price.

Some of the JKR attacks may be justified?

LoL wut? Are you kidding? What did she do wrong?

I'd rate it a 7/10… 9/10 seems a bit much for me, as it implies that the story is fantastic, and that the game has almost no flaws aside from some minor performance issues etc.

Remember, 5/10 is meant to be "average score", logically speaking… Should put the 9/10 score in perspective, and so, it doesn't feel right… a 10/10 would imply that it's "THE PERFECT GAME".

It's a good game, obviously, but it has a lot of imperfections, it's got a less than ideal PC port, for one… It's got oodles of graphical issues, especially the volumetric fog being cranked up to max, and making everything look washed and crappy… Why they didn't hotfix the game to have a graphics setting to enable/disable/adjust volumetric fog, is mystery for the greatest minds on this planet to figure out, lmao… Only way to disable it, is to modify a file in the game to add a command that sets volumetric fog to 0… And there's also some small hitbox issues, phantom hitboxes appearing here and there, you basically bump into invisible objects at random. There's also a bunch of places where environment-assets aren't properly lined up, glitches, essentially, where there's a space in between walls, where you can see directly into the void, and for some reason, the void has a lot of BLINDING WHITE LIGHT, in it, which is the only reason i've noticed it, at all. xD

Tons of issues like that… Game honestly could use a full-year of polish, before being released.

Oh and also. the broom-flying mechanics are dumb, totally clunky and unintuitive. They should've just made it so people can use their mouse/joystick as omnidirectional control, rather than make mouse/joystick control left and right, and have Spacebar and CTRL control up and down… Like wtf? Brooms aren't airplanes, what the hell are these flying controls? xD
