i'm not a harry potter fan but I think it looks alright :shrug:

Ignoring the author of the books for a moment, and focusing on just the game; it does look like it will be okay. From the marketing, it seems like it's going to not live up the promises, or expectations that people have for it. It'll be a shallow open world RPG that doesn't really do much with the I.P. and misses the mark on a lot of what fans are hoping for from an ambitious open world game based on Harry Potter. I'm expecting average review scores from it to be honest, and one of its big issues will likely be that it's a very buggy game with a lot of technical issues. I wouldn't be surprised if its this years Cyberpunk.

Unfortunately Jeffery signed a contract stating that JK Rowling gets a penny for every post about the Harry Potter game. Not sure why but once again the mods have shown their asses big time

we were chatting about this in the horror thread re: callisto and it was brought up that the industry as a whole has a massive project management problem, and it's hard to disagree

i don't think the people working on forspoken were bumbling incompetents at all, but when you get something as massively complex as a AAA video game with a ton of executive fingers jamming into the pie, then you need a really solid captain who knows how to keep the ship sailing straight and deliver a saleable product on time, and there's an almost total absence of them in the scene. not to do too much hagiography on the guy, but i'm positive the whole reason they put yoshida on FFXVI is because he seems to be the only person at SE who knows how to get a game to gold without a ten car pileup of delays along the way

it also probably really helps that yoshi-p is on the board of directors for square enix - i kind of doubt there's a lot of people who can tell him what to do within the company

It sucks that JK Rowling is such a garbage human being. That literal garbage can could have just kept her mouth shut forever and be happy with the massive royalty checks. She is a billionaire that lives in a literal castle in the U.K. why waste your time on anything internet related when your life style lets you pretend to be a lord?

Rowling makes like 90% of her profits from the Harry Potter theme park in Orlando anyway so whether you ever buy a single other piece of HP-related media is literally immaterial to her.

I am not buying Hogwarts Legacy because I have no interest in Harry Potter, but also imagine it's because I'm a really altruistic and virtuous person.

The Arch Terf literally bragged that people buying her poo poo is an endorsement of her views so that's enough reason not to buy it.

There's a side mission where you have to interrupt a family of goblins while they're eating Chinese food during Wizard Christmas.

I would definitely be buying Hogwarts Legacy (if it had good reviews) if not for Rowling’s shittiness. Truly can’t bring myself to give any money to her no matter who else is involved.
