Topic: Hogwarts Legacy

excellent reviews for the game..

What's going on with this game is honestly gross with all the harassment happening. I kinda want to buy the game and stream it but I fear I might get doxxed, it's that bad of a situation.

The game still looks great though! and it has some good reviews so I'm happy.

@Kermit1 So buy it and play it without streaming it. Don't let drama keep you from enjoying a game you enjoy. Besides what does it matter if you don't stream a game?

@Kermit1 Yeah, not saying it’s a good thing that some people are being so aggressive with streamers, but for the regular consumer it should be a non-issue… Unless said regular consumer goes around flaunting the fact they purchased the game on social media to get a reaction.

(Btw Happy Birthday!)

Can't remember if I said this here already or not, but someone on Twitter (I think) said you can still enjoy a series or something and still hate the creator for whatever they've done. I'll still watch and enjoy the Harry Potter movies, I may get this game as well. Apparently the game has some issues but don't seem to be a huge deal, hopefully we'll see some Switch gameplay of the game tomorrow because that's the only thing I'm curious about now. If it ends up being terrible, then...PS4/Steam for me, then...I guess. lol

Anyways yeah, if you want the game just get it...if you want to stream/record it, go for it...if people give you problems, then...
....
Uhhhhhh....
Then...ummmm...

@Tasuki It was just a thought I had, streaming it, I wasn't gonna do it anyway since my wifi would probably have a stroke.

@Eel (Thank you!) I just want to play the game and not look at the "drama" but "media" says otherwise. I am very hyped, though I will probably get the game next week at the soonest.

I’m certainly curious about the switch version. Apparently the game is pretty demanding, so I wonder how will that go.

@Joeynator3000 Like with Michael Jackson, I like his music... But not the person...

@Eel one dev said they're happy with how it's turning out... fingers crossed... it's good.

Yeah, but some reviewers have said that even the PS5 was having some mild performance problems, same with PC. I've no idea what to expect at this point, lol

Since I bought the Deluxe Edition, I got 72-hour early access to the game. Here's a screenshot I took of the starting area.

Hogwarts Legacy just looks absolutely stunning and plays very nicely. The game does have occasional stutters, but it is very minor and doesn't happen often. Recently got to Hogwarts itself, so I'll see how it plays once I get back into the game later.

Yeah people in general have said the school itself is pretty much awesome, lol

Um... 64GB? You're jumping the gun there, by a lot.

Very few Switch games have exceeded 32GB. The only examples I can recall (and there are likely to be a handful of others) include NBA2K21, NBA2K22, and NBA2K23, all of which, ideally, should have been issued on 64GB carts (but I suspect that Take Two shipped them on a 1GB cart with a forced download as it makes no financial sense to spend money on larger carts if its not going to contain a playable game on there anyway). DOOM Eternal also just scrapes past 32GB, but that's because the eShop build of the game essentially forces you to download the expansion data even if you haven't purchased it (and I strongly suspect that Limited Run's physical release of the base game will be a tailor-made build that will be housed in a 16GB cartridge with no further downloads required, and that the expansions will be issued a similar standalone physical release at some point).

32GB carts are virtually "mythical" as it is as almost nobody has used them to date. From memory, the only such releases I can recall are...

• Dragon Quest Heroes I + II (Japan)
• Final Fantasy X/X-II (Japan/Asia) [with English] {International release comes with download code for X-II)
• Atelier Dusk Trilogy (Asia) [with English]
• Atelier Mysterious Trilogy (Asia) [with English]
• Life is Strange: True Colors (Japan) [with English] {International release requires download}
• SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays (Japan/Asia) [with English]

And the only international/Western 32GB cart releases are:

• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition
• Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle

I would love to know of any other releases that may be out there.

And Nintendo themselves are yet to issue a 32GB physical release of their own, let alone 64GB. I was hoping that Smash Ultimate would have been their first such release (as including lossless audio would have almost certainly pushed the game's size into 32GB cart territory), but sadly, it seems that Nintendo opted to heavily compress the audio so that they could ship the game on a cheaper cart.

I do not think people should give up on streaming the game!

One of the smallest minorities on the planet is being vocal and harasses people is nothing to be afraid of. They are all bark and no bite!

Giving up is actually giving them power!

The game looks absolutely amazing and it deserves to be streamed by everyone!

@Zuljaras In a way I get the frustation. Money from this game will go to a person that is going to do harm to an entire community and she is also VERY public about it. But harrasing streamers is probably not the best response.

Although, I have to say, sh*** more on trans people is probably not the best response either.

@jowe_gv This is all a myth! And reading about the issue itself is helping more than hearing other people iterations of it!

For me there are only HUMAN rights because we are all humans. We do not need separate rights for each small group of people. That will only divide us more!

And my projection is that it will only get worse, which is very sad!

Anyway, sorry for the off topic, again!

@Zuljaras ...what are you talking about? what?

@jowe_gv "Money from this game will go to a person that is going to do harm to an entire community and she is also VERY public about it."

For me this is not true as I have read the actual statements of that person.

So, let's just continue the discussion if it is only regarding the game itself.

@Zuljaras You were the one to bring her up here to defend her here. I was just saying that we shouldn't sh*** on trans people.
Do you expect me to not say anything about you ignoring actual statements of the person who must not be named? Like... Please. She is not even hiding it nowadays. And, yes, I've read her comments myself too.

If you believe that the media and author must be separated and such then fine I guess. But her comments were hurtful to trans people, that's a fact. And do not even dare telling me that the trans community is "too sensitive" here when she literally opposed legislation that did nothing aside of making trans people life easier. Like, how much more blatant do you need her to be? One can't be transphobic unless they murder a trans woman on the streets nowadays?

@jowe_gv She is against making is easy for false trans people/impostors to get close to their victims as there are reports of many such individuals. This is more important to me. People are getting killed everywhere in the world. One is not so different than the others. So yeah, end of story.

Hogwarts Legacy is awesome that is what matters in this thread.

I am completely fine if you disregard my statements, beliefs or views It is completely normal for us to disagree
