[@intreal]

I feel a bit let down that in Hogwarts Legacy there are no classes outside cut scenes. You never walk into a class room and see someone studying. Outside some missions, you can walk everywhere during the curfew, even in forbidden locations.

[@cmelch]

I halfway disagree with you. While you attend multiple classes, multiple different times they could have made them more interactive. I think the first classes you attend for most of the subjects all have interactivity but each one after is just a quick cut scene and a spell learned. That can be improved upon. The classrooms are empty but I've found NPC's studying in the library and such at night and that made enough sense to me. I will agree with you about the curfew. It's inconsistent. The library and staff tower are off limits at night during the missions and require stealth but if you show up at night outside of a mission you can just waltz in and nothing happens. The big one for me is the curfew but considering the other sheer amount of detail they put into this game none of these issues really bother me.

[@MaMastoast]

@@cmelch I think the point being made is that there are basically no school activities outside of quests. Hogwarts legacy doesn't really allow you to live the fantasy of attending hogwarts as a student, the world outside of missions is very static and dead. There's no attending classes, no chatting with the other students, no hanging out in the common rooms, no sneaking about at night avoiding teachers.. nothing. The game is beautiful in terms of executing the world itself, but is more like like a generic action-adventure title that just happens to take place in and around hogwarts rather than a proper hogwarts rpg.

@@sorarescouts3782 It's a good game with lots to do, but lets not pretend that it's not just a glorified movie with ideas stolen directly from them. It's basically just all the movies but different characters and open map with fetch quests. In first games you had collectables that were fun to get now all you get is a paper with text. There's no hidden rooms that made you wanna look for them, constantly bombarded with cutscenes, talking, lore. It literally takes about half an hour or so until you're finally being able to play and even then the game is constantly holding your hand like no one has ever played games before. Other than a huge map there's nothing really fun to do.

"Forced you to play through stars while calling it Quidditch" I mean, the stars are just pathways of where the snitch goes, and Harry is a seeker, the ony role he has in Quidditch is to chase and catch the snitch so naturally you won't be playing the full game, we have the Quidditch World Cup game for that (which I would die for a full remake or Quidditch DLC for HL)

[@eduardof7322]

Half Blood Prince Hogwarts looks more like an actual castle, like an actual place you could find in a small town in Europe. Hogwart´s Legacy castle on the other hand... Looks more magical, more... ethereal. It is a lot more fantastical and in my head, closer to go I imagined the books. Harder to imagine being possible, but also more dreamlike, more alive and just... warmer and more welcoming.

[@r3stl3ss]

i absolutely lost it when i saw the castle with it's iconic three small towers attached to the big one. flying on my broom past that crooked wooden bridge also made me feel things

[@Fayklore]

I grew up on Half-Blood Prince, it was my favorite Nintendo Wii Game. Having to shake the remotes for different spells, and then the interactive way you can brew potions was so enjoyable! Quidditch in the game, while just a game of going through hoops, was so cool as well. I will never ever hate it, and would probably still be replaying it now if my Wii worked.

[@BenjaminSnow]

Oh yeah, I definitely will be replaying it in a few months

[@TheAwkwardGamer]

Agreed. That's one thing that I think Half-Blood Prince really did well: the potions. It was my personal favourite activity in the game and it was something I hoped we might've gotten more of in Hogwarts Legacy, but I think it was fair enough that they didn't do that considering everything else they put in the game.

But if you have a Playstation and Dreams, there's a VERY beautiful rendition of Hogwarts, Hendril ( ASMR Weekly) has made if you want to compare another map. Graphically, it's way better than Half Blood Prince. If you meant other video topics, which you've already covered beautifully, it could be cool if we could see the fantastic beasts compared to their movie counterparts, but that might be too short for a video... or a breakdown of the various different Ashwinders and Loyalists and the role each plays in combat.

There are no loading screens and the castle feels giant despite the fact that there actually aren't that many areas to explore, with lots of places being interconnected. It's not a perfect game, the dueling is simple, the flying is annoying, and the potions are either the easiest thing in the game or horrible and take far too many attempts because some vials just like to explode. But overall i am thoroughly enjoying it. It also has so much more comedy and funny moments than I remembered. I hope HL takes every HBP gives them and runs with it.

[@schneetiger9249]

Did they relocate Hogwarts to…what? Africa? This is supposed to be SCOTLAND and the UK in the late 19th century, yet we mostly see black and colored characters.

[@Grinchillah]

ITS A GAME ABOUT WIZARDS…. If you’re looking for realism play a different game.

[@schneetiger9249]

@@Grinchillah It’s a game about a wizarding school in Britain in the 19th century. A wizard population would have looked the same like the rest. WHITE. That’s where Hogwarts is located and the grotesque high number of colored people totally destroys the British atmosphere of Hogwarts.

[@Grinchillah]

@@schneetiger9249 you missed the point… it’s a fictional game about wizards, anything is possible in this world and I don’t see why the few hating this game are racists. There’s literally only a few minorities in this and you bigots get so mad about it.

[@Grinchillah]

@@schneetiger9249 I could see why you’d be upset with battlefield V having black people but THIS IS A GAME ABOUT WIZARDS IN NO WAY ARE THEY TAKING HISTORY INTO ACCOUNT

[@Grinchillah]

@@schneetiger9249 you’re the type to get mad at Star Wars having a few additional minorities in it WHEN THERE ARE LITERAL ALIENS AND ROBOTS WALKING AROUND

I honestly still love the look of chamber of secrets on ps2. HBP game is the last decent HP game bc death hallows was trash.

[@fenixblack7300]

Something that I thought was great about the order of the phoenix and the half blood prince of ps2 is that the spells were performed by making certain wand movements, while in Hogwarts Legacy we have only one wheel of selectable spells, I think I understand. For me, that small detail was a mistake on the part of the developers. Otherwise, it looks great.

[@jonny2954]

What HBP did better are the windows. You can look outside the windows and see the castle and the mountains in the background, in Hogwarts Legacy it's either tinted glass or overblown HDR to hide the fact that you can't see through them. Look at 2:09 and 3:53, a massive deal for immersion. Yes, performance i know, but on a tech level nothing speaks against a low-quality exterior being drawn while you are inside, can't see details through these windows anyways. But simply seeing at least something outside does a lot, even on a subconscious level (especially when there is a weather and season system implemented). Same with the architecture. That's personal preference of course, but the architecture in HBP (since it was a rebuild of the movie locations, which again were real places, mostly british gothic architecture) seems just so much more real and grounded. Hogwarts Legacy has some places that are a little bit too opulent for my taste. A bit too fantasy-ish. Almost cartoony.

[@ludwiglanestudios]

Being a gamer in my 30s, I learned since the N64 not to buy games based on movies. This, I never played any of the Harry Potter Movie Games. I would have been ultimately disappointed. I'm still holding to that belief because if anything, Hogwarts Legacy is based on the world/lore created by JK Rawling rather than a single movie.

[@aurex8937]

Harry spent so much time under the sun he became black

[@lukasausen]

2:25 honestly thats lore acurate, since harry doesnt goes to any class badically just get everything given to him.

[@luchianluchi]

Why is Harry Potter black ?

[@Grinchillah]

You’re the same type of person mad about the black little mermaid.

[@luchianluchi]

@@Grinchillah Why is she black?

[@Grinchillah]

@@luchianluchi because it’s a fictional mermaid……….. Harry Potter is about magical wizards…. And you guys are questioning why black people are in either.

[@TurboLight]

You get to customise your own character in the game

[@Grinchillah]

@@TurboLight they’ll still be mad that they see any amount of minorities in the game. Racist bigots.

[@ruthy08]

WB could have made a bunch of money porting the original HP anthology to help build hype going into this. Can't even find the originals for PC on legitimate sites.

[@BenjaminSnow]

Yeah.. it’s the license problem. All those games were made by EA and now they don’t have any HP rights anymore

[@aaronlane8276]

Have you tried looking for the game discs for pc on ebay?

[@Nitroh-]

wym by "legitimate sites" the games havent been sold for more than a decade, you can just torrent them or use a ps2 emulator.

[@Bodasurri93]

i miss the ACTUAL brewing in potion class. in half blood prince you put stuff togheter and stir the pot etc. in legacy u just gather the ingerdients, press □ and then wait 2min.

[@inf2004]

Main difference is on the preview picture

[@Ayoke]

lord can we take a moment to appreciate the awesome spell animations in the half blood prince. Imagine that in the upgraded textures that hogwarts legacy offers us.

[@BadJuice]

after seeing the first comparison i was like "dayyym" nice video man keep them coming

[@7riXter]

0:01 is this mirrored or what went wrong with the orientation of the castle in halfbloodprince 😂

[@Vicinfi]

The way HL is designed completely blew my mind away, I have not a grain of idea how much work of how many people it took... To me it looks like 100 people worked on it for 10 years at least. Just WOW.

[@BenjaminSnow]

@@Vicinfi it truly is incredible!

[@RagingGrinch-TechGaming]

My favorite Harry games was first on the PS1-PS2 I’m beyond hyped for Hogwarts legacy got the deluxe edition preordered that I pick up February 7th can’t wait great content dude seeing this brings me back to the good ol days

[@amysteriousviewer3772]

I played Half Blood Prince so much as a kid. Insane how much games have evolved since then.

[@timlamiam]

What's cool is that you get to see the Hogwarts that Dumbledore grew up in (he starts school about a decade after the game's events).

[@MFDOOMSDAa]

3:27 Harry doing the Saltpapi running 🏃‍♂️ meme 🤣😂

[@JAW760]

1:45 who supports West Ham? Thought I was seeing it wrong at first

[@ArendoHarribel]

one thing for sure they have to add is an clash of spells like kamehameha in dbz

[@petechambers541]

Gotta say half blood Prince holds up very well

[@Niels-1993]

Where can we find the Headmasters office in Hogwarts legacy?

[@andrewm1559]

I remember playing the deathly hallows game so much would you plan on reviewing that game too?

[@killjoysplace]

Man I was gonna buy the game when I bought a hefty gaming pc in a couple months but I couldn't resist. So now my laptop is on borrowed time till it catches flame from overheating

[@YGOHouse]

I love that you compared these two games, I was just thinking man it would be cool if someone did a side-by-side comparison.

[@fly-bykyle4441]

you forgot to mention that in legacy you also take the history of magic class wit prof. binns.
