Seriously, Though, How Can Hogwarts Legacy Not Have Quidditch?

Just let me hurl a bludger at some unknowing NPC!

I mean, that's actually a lot of work to get it in. It would be its own system and rely on the fairly janky flying that is in the game. Have set roles and rules for a specific sport. Maybe they're planning it for DLC, I don't know. But the 'how' on this is pretty easy to identify. This is from the team that delayed release on last-gen machines, after all. Not like they're big on having extra time to add in a unique sport and its trappings into the game as it is.

Not really related but reminds me of blitzball as far there's not alot of gameswith an actual sport in it. I kinda liked blitzball back in the day I'm surprised square never tried to have a standalone fleshed out blitzball game. It would've needed worked but imo could of been fun

Knushwood Butt446d ago

Don't think I ever won a single game of blitzball.

isarai448d ago

Time constraints, sounds like it's gonna be added later though.

Legacy is a great game. To add Quidditch it would have to be done right. Tight controls and probably a special broom. Maybe it will come as DLC.

GoodGuy09448d ago

The game I hear is already quite content filled so it's no surprise. I think it'd take another year or two for them to have added it and honestly I'm still kinda surprised it released this early. Hopefully it's added in via an expansion or even free update. A bit of a disappointment though yes.

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."

Markdn7d 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

Lexreborn28d 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.

Lexreborn27d 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

CrimsonWing698d 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.

Crows907d 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.

thorstein7d 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.

VenomUK7d 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.

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

Markdn7d ago

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

Demetrius7d 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
