S2Killinit477d ago

Really excited for playing it soon.

SeTTriP477d ago

This wasn't even on my radar now it's a day one buy.

jznrpg477d ago

It’s not best go off of reviews that much imo . You may not like it despite others liking it .

SeTTriP477d ago

@jznrpg I've been gaming since the 80's I buy what I want the reviews just confirms what I've seen in the past week or so, the dialog seemed good, the open world seems good now I'm hearing it has amazing combat to boot.

Yep day one for me.

Relientk77477d ago

I read that title and could hear Ron Weasley saying, "Bloody brilliant"

Nineball2112477d ago

Can't wait to start this game up once I have the time to dedicate to it!

JeffGUNZ477d ago

Man, it sounds like the game is very well made but my disinterest for Harry Potter outweighs my desire to try it.

Crows90477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

That's okay maybe fantasy open world RPGs are not your thing.

Probably had a hard time with elden ring as well I assume. Also an open world, also in RPG and there's tons of magic in it

However I'm pretty sure Harry Potter isn't in the game so you don't have to worry about that

JeffGUNZ477d ago

True. The fantasy stuff gets me I believe. I have tried three separate times to try and get into the Witcher 3, but couldn't. Makes me mad because I know their is an awesome game there but I just can't get into it.

FPS_D3TH477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

I’m not a big Harry Potter fan either but my wife and I got our own copies and still looks like it’ll be a fun game to play side by side but that’s really my main draw is just a game to enjoy with my wife

myfathersbastard477d ago

Buddy livin the dream over here

FPS_D3TH477d ago

Haha indeed! Got her into some coop fps games like left 4 dead and borderlands when we first met, she’d really only played some sims and a couple Jrpgs up til then but I got her hooked on gaming by introducing her to some fun coop games. Truly blessed lmao

Crows90476d ago

My wife defended me against family when they came at me saying I shouldnt be playing games anymore. She doesnt play but man that was awesome.

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."

Markdn29d 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

Lexreborn229d 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.

Lexreborn228d 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

CrimsonWing6929d 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.

Crows9028d 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.

thorstein28d 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.

VenomUK28d 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.

Tzuno29d ago (Edited 29d 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

Markdn29d ago

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

Demetrius29d 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
