I didn’t know there was Hogwarts game coming out  Haven’t seen anything on Steam or gaming sites about it. Don’t think I would draw the line at buying a game but it’s not something I’m interested in either. At least not to spite a bitter old woman who is terminally online.

Frustrated with my xbox one controllers that keep drifting after a few months and looking to replace them with hall effect ones. Yes, I can replace the pots every so often but that gets annoying. Is there a great hall effect controller that works well for PC games? What are your thoughts on these? https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller-Joysticks-Vibration-Shooting-USB-C/dp/B0878QMPKH?th=1 https://smile.amazon.com/Ultimate-B...c0-4513d670b6bc

The 7th Guest posted:but why though, like it's not even by a developer with any kind of reputation. it's by the OTHER avalanche, the one that DIDN'T do Just Cause or Mad Max. they haven't really done anything notable Honestly the game industry has changed and team sizes are so big that the whole "it's *THAT* DEVELOPER???" talking point is kind of moot. It's really more about talent than the name these days. It's just becoming infinitely less valuable to pretend that the developer's track record means gently caress-all anymore, hell the Callisto Protocol team was made by ""the Dead Space guys" and more or less poo poo the bed.

It's easy to be wary of any project that's like "made from the ex-devs of Beloved Game" because 1) they've probably been out of practice in the industry for the past 10 years, and 2) their actual role was like associate line producer or whatever.

I don't think he would lie but I also didn't see a huge vocal amount of support from his publisher or team like he claimed they had for him. If it's true and he needs to take care of his parents full time then that's rough, nothing else to say. exquisite tea posted:It's easy to be wary of any project that's like "made from the ex-devs of Beloved Game" because 1) they've probably been out of practice in the industry for the past 10 years, and 2) their actual role was like associate line producer or whatever. Or in many cases, it turns out having a restrictive publisher was a good thing and handing them carte blanche to make a game just because they were "the guy" behind the thing at EA wasn't the smartest idea

If they did it was probably only on Kickstarter and not on any other broader marketing that I can see at least. I don't know if I'd count that one. Bloodstained is great though.

Pikmin 2 was bafflingly marketed as "From the Mind of Shigeru Miyamoto" and it's a good game, but also what the hell I liked the Outer Worlds but I also paid attention to a lot of pre-release material and it was made pretty clear that "Fallout: New Vegas 2" and "Finally, a bethesda game that lives up to its potential" were not what the team or leads were shooting for, but I suppose "3D action RPG that kind of feels like fallout but thats gunning for a futurama/50's raygun space western pulp tone and aesthetic" wouldn't have sold as many copies or generated as much hype.

The developer's previous games from the past 15 years are pretty much all just disney film junkware too so not a lot of confidence there.

I dunno, I guess the “Snape killed Dumbledore” spoiler video makes me cackle like a witch (wizard) and the only HP I’ve had experience with is half of the first movie. “NooOooOOoo…you Bitch!” Edit: I can see the folks that went to brick & mortar bookstores dressed in wizard robes and scarves might buy the game regardless of a) how actually fun/immersive the game ends up, or b) whatever their real-or-claimed stance on JKR is…I can totally see some HP fan promote a hashtag on Twitter but “secretly” buy and enjoy the game anyway. It was a significant part of their childhood/YA memories, after all. “Surely I can buy it myself just one person while all the other people I’m sure won’t do it at all” seems very common to me.

Having grown up with all things Harry Potter, haters vacate. I've been dying for a game like this for years and I just finally had a look at some gameplay videos, I was expecting it to look like a dogshit mobile game or something based on what everyone here's saying. Skipped around this video and it looks glorious, the fact that you can ride a hippogriff kind of sells me immediately and that these are treated as actual animals that you can take care of. Don't have to kill monsters, a lot of them are sentient so you can actually talk to them to get their resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS4qPq20aVo It looks cozy as heck, I hope it isn't as bad as the developer's pedigree makes it seem like it could be.

My first experience with Harry Potter was a teacher reading it to us out loud every day in school. While I was a senior in high school in 2000. I think she was on that wave of "actually it's for adults too." But yeah that game looks like horse hockey.

Wow, gross. I uh, came in here to post about Project Zomboid and how much I enjoyed my session with it this morning. They added a new tutorial and refreshed the UI/control scheme and it's a lot easier to cruise around suburbia, hiding from zombies. (I still died.) It really captures the feel of sneaking around in an occupied, hostile zone... which weirdly reminded me of Homefront: Revolution.

You are fooling yourselves. Hogwarts Legacy is going to become the "Witcher3" or "Skyrim" for a lot of people. Basic and easy to grasp gameplay, open world and "freedom", lots of things to find and collect and lots of details in everything. It' ll sell a lot and it will appear in all the game journalists' game of the year lists.

As someone who doesn't care about Harry Potter, I have a feeling people underestimate just how much more famous Harry Potter is globally than literally anything its author has ever said or done, and no doubt even more so in non-English speaking countries where stuff like that simply doesn't make the news to the same degree.

The books captured the idea of basically living in an on-again off-again thriller for several years, the movies captured the spectacle of a place where everything is doused in magic, but absolutely nothing of what's interesting about HP has ever struck me as something that would translate well to video games except maybe VR if you got a real A-team on it. Some things just weren't designed to hold up in other mediums.
