Hogwarts Legacy - Collector's Edition Unboxing

"Join Avalanche Software’s Community Manager, Chandler Wood, as he unveils the Collector’s Edition of Hogwarts Legacy."

I remember the time when games get special edition treatments upon release but not until these games earn the right to have a special editions, by that I mean in the first iteration sold great and got famous and everybody loved it, and when you get your hands in one of those special editions it actually feels you have something special cause you know the game earn it, but in these times you will see these kind of "collectors items" without first even earned that category, and that category if a game gets a collectors item is determined by the consumer first imo like God of War or Horizon for example (they earn it cause the game speak for itself how awesome is!), also if you ask yourself why gaming development is getting more expensive well these are one of the reasons, added stuff it has nothing to do with the development.

The actual game won't be released until almost half a year from now, isn't showing the collector's edition a bit... premature?

XbladeTeddy645d ago

Full stops and paragraphs go a long way if you want people to actually read what you're writing.

Snakeeater25646d ago

We delayed the game so here the overprice collector édition 🤣 skip

-Foxtrot646d ago

Way too expensive for what you get

They could have included a couple of nice replicas from Hogwarts rather than a floating wand.

CrimsonWing69646d ago

I just... wow... I just can't with this sh*t.

I am really glad I watched this. No way this is worth about $300 lol. Also, the book doesn't seem to close, taking up too much space and just annoying to store.

Was Hogwarts Legacy Only Successful Because Of Nostalgia?

Shahmeer from eXputer: "I've always wondered whether the success of Hogwarts Legacy had much to do with nostalgia. The RPG is great but certainly not free of issues."

Markdn30d ago

I totally agree, and no replay value for sure but enjoyed every minute I was playing it. Not a Harry Potter fan but still really enjoyed

Lexreborn230d ago

I still haven’t finished it, mostly due to it not holding my interest after 20 hours. Wouldn’t say it’s a bad game, wouldn’t say it’s amazing I really can’t judge it fully due to not completing it.

Lexreborn230d ago

lol are people upset because I said I put 20 hours into the game and that because I haven’t finished I won’t criticize it’s value or if nostalgia generates it’s success? That’s funny

CrimsonWing6930d ago

Harry Potter is one of the biggest IPs in the world. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why it sold so much. It’s a great game on top of that, so the math kind of maths here.

Can’t wait for the article on if Zelda or Mario only sold well due to nostalgia.

Crows9030d ago

They're trying to find a fake reason for its success...the mainstream hate how successful it became because of the writer behind the series.

So now they want to say that people bought it not because they liked it but only because of nostalgia....as if harry potter is really that old or even a classic IP in the game industry.

thorstein30d ago

That doesn't even make any sense. The author made those statements before the game released. People knew ahead of time and wanted a boycott.

But most people knew any boycott would only punish the people who worked on the game and put their hearts into it (like most boycotts).

So many people bought it, enjoyed it immensely, and moved on.

VenomUK30d ago

@CrimsonWing69 A greatly in demand IP only takes you so far, if it was crap quality then the reviews and word of mouth would have stalled its sales. But it is a good game (judged by Metacritic and user reviews) and that has given the game legs.

Tzuno30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

ngl, it got me in the first half hour
after that, a big let down, mediocre at every step
only fans are praising it

Markdn30d ago

In what way was it mediocre, can't really find anything about it that was mediocre and I'm not a hp fan

Demetrius30d ago

It's still a good game almost time for a 2nd playthrough, the passion they put into it is🔥🔥 crazy how after a couple months or a year folks get to complaining about this n that about certain games smh childish mfs
