Harry Potter is much like Star Trek where there's a huge imagined/deduced aspect that lives in the minds of fans that isn't in the core text but is integral to the whole vibe. This isn't good or bad but its interesting.

haha what posted:i liked the ps1 and pc harry potter games as a kid The Game Boy Color game for the first book was surprisingly good. Of course by the end EA had turned the series into a Gears of War clone... which was something. I imagine the sales for Hogwarts will be huge. Despite what a lovely person JK Rowling has been, I imagine most of the fans will either not be aware or can just divorce the fact that she was the originally creator. And WB (and Sony) are spending a ton on marketing. I saw commercials non-stop during December.

MonkeyforaHead posted:There's an amazing amount of novelty to be wrung from a setting where even the approved setpieces and activities include so many threats to life and limb for the schoolkids, but you can only fall back on introducing new elements for so long. 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. idk having an open world game with a magical shifting castle as the world sounds great. the real issue is they didnt make it an imsim. I'm not buying it but my partner is interested. Kanfy posted: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. It helps Rowling's case that she isn't like, screeching from a pulpit about rounding up trans people and having them shot. Thats for the people that she enables by hanging out with them and retweeting them and helping them build an audience Explaining the context of her beliefs takes more time than people will listen to.

No Wave posted:Witcher 3 is an unbelievably good game. The setting is incredible, the music is god tier the characters are so far beyond the standard of open world bideo games there is so much right about it. I dont care about HL or if people like it but Witcher 3 has so much going for it beyond open world routine. What the combat is horrible, you can't even predict which randomly cycled animation you're going to get when you press attack. hitboxes are all over the place. 99% of the content is just random ubisoft-tier markers that are usually just a monster standing next to a chest. the mechanics for sailing are literally broken and the game will fall apart from all the bugs and glitches still associated with boats and 80% of the skellige content is just sailing to a spot, jumping out, oneshotting all of the sirens or harpies with your lovely hand crossbow and then grabbing a bunch of junk, I saw junk because the itemization is embarrassing. you will never pick up something that's better than what you can craft easily unless its like ten levels above you. the world makes zero sense, you'll still be running into club wielding bandits with wooden clubs at level 30+ and if they're a higher level than you they'll kill you instantly, even if you can slaughter elite soldiers in armor that are the same level. The potion mixing is dumbed down massively from Witcher 1 and 2. It literally has nothing going for it besides visuals and narrative.

witcher 3 unfortunately aged kind of bad because now every action game seemingly has that kind of diablo-esque inventory screen where it's about number going up and now everyone's sick of it though the combat was never good

TheDiceMustRoll posted:What None of the combat animations are random. If you're getting unexpected ones it's because you're getting the timing wrong and breaking the combo. It works similarly to Arkham Asylum combat but without all the UI indications. It's not a great execution, because obviously it confuses people about what they're doing wrong, but it's still not the case that the animations are random.

Everyone should stop right now. Harry Potter has so much baggage now thanks to the author being awful and espousing a lot of bad ideology on her social media. People who want to play the game will just have to get used to that and and that a lot of us here have good friends who are targets and we are not a fan of increasing her fortune.

Tiny Timbs posted:maybe you're doing that one wrong too Batman Arkham Asylum combat is Not Good and I don't understand anyone who thinks it can be good. The actual "terrorize the poo poo out of them and pick them off one by one" gameplay was good but the actual tedious brawling combat has never landed for me, and I can build up massively long combos in those games. Psycho Landlord posted:I think that guy just doesn't like videogames tbh Of the games I finished from August to now, I liked: Elden Ring King's Field 1-4 Control Homeworld Remastered Collection Disco Elysium Which I think shows that I like a great variety and type of video games. I think two of those games are AAA(maybe homeworld counts) but I don't really care for or about AAA games. They all play the same, shoehorn in the same rpg-lite mechanics and prioritize graphics over gameplay

I think what people like about the Arkham combat is that it's sort of a rhythm builder. I just liked the "flow" of it I guess? But I'm not amazing at video games so there was a good amount of challenge at keeping the punches and dodges flowing. Witcher 3 is similar to me but the implementation is a little looser and adds in direction playing a role in how and when your strikes connect; this may be what you ran into when it felt random to you. Can totally see how someone could find the combat style tedious though, especially if you didn't find it particularly challenging or compelling to keep tempo. New Spiderman has the same comabt system but there's something different about it I can't place my finger on cause I gently caress it up a lot more than I did Arkham or Witcher.
