The Harry Potter game probably won't be GOTY but footage of someone playing badly who doesn't know wtf they are doing will make most games look poo poo.

it doesnt matter how badly someone is playing, that troll enemy is jankily sliding forward mid-animation and thats going to gently caress with dodge timing no matter what. this poo poo is a mess. 0:17 in particular is insanely bad jank

Well if you see an animation error in the game, that's because a wizard did it.

Really, just the core approach of taking a setting that's known for a having magic that can be made to do just about anything and turning it into "pew pew enemies with your gun wand while dodge-rolling their attacks" seems deeply ill-advised.

Why DO the wizards dodge roll instead of having a magic teleport?

I’ve only seen like two of the movies n it seemed like they just mostly cast magic missile which is kind of dull. Also did anyone actually expect this to have meaningful gameplay?

from the looks at other leaks wizards also have spider sense that puts a big "press dodgeroll now" red circle around their head whenever an enemy is attacking, even from off screen


also bosses have todo checklists?

The new god of war has something similar. Do you have companions telling you to dodge and use your shield every 5 seconds too?

also the active skills in that video in addition to the basic 40 damage wand pewpew are "do a bigger pew that does 200 damage" and "do a medium sized pew that does 60 damage and applies a DoT". so no the actives dont really make combat more dynamic
there is a thing that lifts enemies into the air for a juggle that only works on trash mobs and not bosses

Worth remembering that the later movie games were Gears of War clones. Sticking Harry Potter into unexpected combat systems is just tradition at this point.

Not enough data to make an actual determination. But if that harry potter game turns out to be bad I"m going to loving laugh so hard. Please be poo poo. Please, please.

It's going to be awful, but there's also going to be a whole lot of posts like "I don't know why everyone hates this game, it's actually the best game I've ever played if you're smart enough for it" on the reddit front page for a few weeks.

Didn't realize we where in the 'magical opposite reality' thread. I've seen tons of kids in the 9+ range who absolutely devour the books. Much like Disney, just because there are maladjusted adults making a fandom about it doesn't mean that kids don't love it either.

The game being potentially lovely has nothing to do with any of that, big budget productions make lovely videogame adaptations of all sorts of IPs. Hell, sometimes they make lovely videogame adapatations of actually good video games!

I think it's them saying that the equipment screen seems like a lovely low-hanging fruit, common-denominator way of making a game. I recall Bioshock:Infinite had one too (in a game that had no reason to have one), typically a classic sign of design-by-the-numbers.

I'm just glad that we're probably yanking off the band-aid on "most insufferable Discourse in gaming" for the year early because I cannot see anything on the horizon which is gonna eclipse this with a AAA marketing budget shoving it around.

Maybe if Tears of the Kingdom comes out hard against orphans, I dunno

Harry Potter is a huge enough name that the kids of people who grew up reading the books are now old enough to read Harry Potter themselves. It's worth about as much as Mario and the MCU. The theme parks alone gross about $4bil a year. You'd have to be wishfully delusional or just extremely not with it to think it's not an enormously popular franchise.

Yeah the books didn't stop existing after they and the movies ended lol, they're still stocked and prominently displayed in bookstores and libraries. I'm sure kids are still reading them just like I read the narnia books despite being weird half-century old christian allegories

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
On the off chance that anyone played Lightning Returns on Game Pass: Any help with getting it to run? It launched fine the first time. But every time afterwards nothing happens after pressing the "Start Game" button in the game launcher. And if I go directly to the game exe, it starts, but perpetually displays "Paused".
