Because the previous game let you select higher resolutions.

[@ryanb4940]

I had every Harry Potter game growing up with the films and was excited for every one. After Prisoner of Azkaban I couldn’t wait to see how amazing the next would be. Prisoner was incredible and took what the first two games were and improved it in every possible way. Improved designs, levels, castle layout, exploring, Harry Ron and Hermione having their own strengths… it was perfect. Then the big wet fart that is Goblet of Fire came out and it was the first time I truly felt disappointment. What a bad game. I even tried to push through and I may have even finished (if I remember it’s criminally short) hoping I’d have fun or see SOMETHING worth my while. ANYTHING that would give me that little bit of serotonin the last games gave in heaps… nothing. The game from start to end is awful. Next game saved the game series. Didn’t play Deathly part 1 or 2 since they were basically third person shooters and had strayed too far from what the games used to be. Half Blood was alright but felt like just a reuse of the amazing castle from Order with worse missions and cringe dialogue/scenes thrown in. Order and Prisoner were the two sweet spots of the series. Both very different but both a joy to play.

[@dwaynezilla]

[@Musicandlyrics2400]

It could’ve been so great if it wasn’t this Call of Duty/Battlefield mess

[@HellsGayngel]

Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hallows are the worst of the series I think but here are some tips to get through this game: 1. Press the Z button to catch beans by casting acccio. 2. Swap characters often so you can distribute beans between them and buy cards for them. 3. Go back and replay levels because new areas will open up where you can collect more challenge shields. Higher levels don't open up until you have a certain amount of challenge shields. It's like Mario64 kicking you out of the level when you get a star, you have to go back and get the next one until you've got them all. 4. Focus on perfecting spells to level up. That is what the text at each level completion is indicating. You perfect a spell by the amount of times you use it in each level. Each creature has 3 or 4 different spells you can use on them that have different effects to get rid of them. Focus only on using one spell on all of the same creature on each playthrough of the level to perfect that spell. For example focus only on the lapifors spell by using the button that turns salamanders into rabbits. On replaying, focus only on the inflatus spell on salamanders by wetting them and then pressing the button that inflates them. Focus on avifors on dugbogs by knocking them out so they turn over, then cast wingardium leviosa on them and the other characters will cast avifors. Use and focus on the Orbis spell which pulls dugbogs into the ground (or drags them into the Shadow Realm). Don't just press random buttons on each creature. Focus on just one button per playthrough. Eventually you will perfect a spell and you can focus on perfecting others by changing to one of the other buttons. The hardest spell to perfect is the ducklifors spell which turns Blast-ended Skrewts into rubber ducks so good luck with that.. or don't bother lol. Also good luck with Vampyr Mosps, they are an absolute bitch to deal with. 5. Each level has a set of hidden objects you can find and cast at to get challenge shields or rewards. One level has a set of 5 dragon statues, another level has a set of 5 spades, another a set of 5 pipes, etc. 6. Some levels have a set of of mini-shields you can collect to get a Challenge shield. You have to collect 10 mini-shields in the level to get a Challenge shield.
