7 Things I LOVE and HATE about Hogwarts Legacy (After the hype)

[@paulinanowinska578]

Love the video. Getting rid of the clothing is the worst pain in the arss, amd the Marlin trials are boring as well...

[@blasphemy47]

Thanks😊 Glad you enjoyed it. I do hope for the next game they come up with something more creative

[@MayorMaya]

i agree on most of what youve said except the conclussion, i dont think its mediocre. I wish they improve the rpg stuff for the next one

[@blasphemy47]

It's a decent foundation for the next game to build upon, maybe mediocre it's a bit too harsh on my part. Although there were moments when i felt a bit that.

[@Tudoran45]

Fully support the idea of more games using a Season System 🔥

As someone who is a huge HP nerd, but not much of a gamer, I completely enjoyed it. I realize, though, that a lot of what i enjoyed was the immersion in the Magical world, rather than the actual gameplay. I agree that there is a lot of repetitive stuff that get boring after a while. I, however, did not have difficulty with the flying once i switched to controller rather than keyboard and mouse. It was very clunky and awkward trying to fly with the keyboard and mouse, but i felt that the fighting and other things were easier using them. I love your idea of more humor to the gameplay. Several of the movies had a lot of humor to them and there are some funny things in the game, especially in the field guide pages, but not really in the gameplay itself. I am holding out hope that they address a lot of the complaints that people have in the sequel, but overall, I am still really in love with the game.

[@blasphemy47]

The visual design was indeed great and there is definitely a level of immersion you can get if you look mostly for that. Hopefully the sequel will build and develop further.

Very nice idea about the "balloon" enemies 👌

[@mitchellwinkworth9396]

I just platinumed this game the other day and there are definitely things I did not like about this game

[@khajiit_innocent8998]

I would have added voice acting as a negative. Man that bothered me throughout the game. I already thought that even though there is this big Harry Potter universe with much lore the story was kind of bland and boring. But the voice acting made that even worse and some quests just painful to follow. Otherwise I agree on mostly everything. I think for me personally the negative aspects outshine the positive because especially the negatives that you mentioned are imo requirements for good games. And as you said there were many things that made this game sometimes very boring.

[@blasphemy47]

Yes the voice acting was hit and miss, especially the facial animation were very outdated. Hopefully with the sequel will improve many of these issues. It's somewhat a mediocre/decent start, but nowhere to the level of praises it got.

[@khajiit_innocent8998]

@@blasphemy47 Yep agree. Solid fundament but needs a lot of improvement. Right now they live by that Harry Potter nostalgia and its fanbase. That's also why I fear that the next games won't improve much. Much like Pokemon for instance it will sell regardless, no matter what they're doing. Hopefully I am proven wrong in the next years

Sadly, they succeeded at making this world boring. Wonderful graphics, but poor game play experience overall. Boring... i do hope i can still go back and play it after 20 hours into it but it just don't trigger my curiosity anymore. One of the main problem in this game is the fact everything is teached to you, not discovered. Just imagine if you would have to actually discover magical scroll powers to earn most of your more powerful spells. Exploration would have became more interesting! Fill the world with secret powers and let the player fight for and find them. The school idea is also very badly done. In a way, you are overjoyed about going to Hogwarts to learn magic, but... once there, ah, nope, sorry, you cannot mix those things you find in your travels in your cauldron, to hopefully find crazy and fun effects, you cannot create spells either, you cannot actually do ANY MAGIC AT ALL. All you do is USE magic we showed you, doing potions we told you. Hardly making any of it 'fun', rather feel like a chore. And that is exactly how this game feel after 20 hours; a chore. All in all, it feels like a 12 years old, teens only, type of game. But again, i speak from someone who played about 20 hours of it. I hope it gets better later, but now that i found how to capture creatures, it even feels more like a chore....

[@blasphemy47]

Unfortunately pass the 20 hour the game doesn't get any better. Once you completed some of the open world activities you've seen pretty much most of what the world has to offer. Maybe stick to the main story since does have some decent moments, but the open world exploration its not worth it.

[@jessikapiche6097]

@@blasphemy47 That is also what of friend of mine told me, sadly. I will try and stick to it, but i am not gonna play it again after i finished it.

[@terrencekelly1256]

I loved it up until i completed the main story then I felt like there is no point

[@kevinc8955]

Bought it at the request of my girlfriend who wanted to play it, and I ended up loving it more than her. Haven’t liked an open world game that much since ghost of Tsushima.

[@blasphemy47]

Well that's great. 😁 There are things worth exploring and doing in the game. Personally i didn't enjoyed that much but i can see why some might like it more.

[@captiankeekee1588]

Haha the only reason you don't like the game is because you are trash at it watching you battle is the funniest thing 🤣
