I'm just waiting for a sale to play Forspoken, demo was fun. All the Hogwarts footage looks like a lovely game on top of being an obviously bad idea so not sure why anyone is bothering

hello i am late but i am caught up on the thread now. i do not know what a fujoshi is, i thought people were talking about fundoshis, which would be funnier probably. i am not going to be buying the harry potter game because it looks boring. i think all bread is S tier. i think food-based pokemon are dumb.

thank you.

if u browse by popular games you always see a bunch of people enjoying absolute garbage i couldn't be payed to play. enjoying something also doesn't mean it's good, i love tons of terrible trash. probably enjoy more bad things than good things on average or by volume. the part i don't know why people are bothering is because experiencing boarding school doesn't sound fun as a game, and setting what looks to be a wand-based third person shooter in a school is just makes it another shooter to pass on.

if it's good that would be a surprise if I played it, but I won't, because all the videos of it look like a bad game so I have no reason to actually thin kit would suddenly become good if I held the controller.

Why are people so desperately craving validation over their purchase of it. Play it or don't. If you can't handle people making fun of you for it maybe talk about it in places that won't. or grow thicker skin and deal with it.

It starts out fine and then about 4 in it gets really up its own rear end and it's clear there was very little planning or world building done from a creator that isn't as skilled as you have been lead to believe.

Oh wait you meant the game, idk

I can't tell how close to "completing" Medieval Dynasty I was, and I hadn't looked up anything about it yet while playing to avoid spoiling or wiki-following. Still haven't spoiled but did check how to keep my villager happiness up and learned I have been inadvertently making the game harder for myself and my villagers. They're fine and work at 50%ish happiness, nothing else I can really do until I unlock the highest tier of house. However, getting married and having kids is the main way to get happiness above the working-50 and on top of that, apparently more than one person can be assigned to a house, but there's some weirdass hetero tenancy requirements built into the game. I've been building each villager their own house because won't let me fill the other slots with other people.

Well my issue was, everyone I had recruited for the village was a woman so far because I was trying to level my Diplomacy skill and the only way to do that besides selling stuff and completing chore sidequests, is to flirt, and the game only allows flirting with women, a small amount of diplomacy XP per day. Figured if my villagers were all women, and afaik no skill or labor difference between men and women, might as well get all women so have X chances for day/season to increase diplomacy XP.

So the women will cannot live together and refuse to marry or have children together, so next time I play I can go invite 12 dudes to the settlement and double the working population overnight without having to deforest a region to build another drat house, let alone another 12.

I don't give a poo poo about what people think about Harry Potter, but this is a dumb opinion because it lumps Bully in with Hogwarts as games you shouldn't play and I'm not gonna stand for that slander.

Just watched it and the game looks... good?

I was really unimpressed with the recent gameplay videos and I'm not particularly a Harry Potter fan (haven't read the books, thought the 2 or 3 films I saw were mediocre, but I did enjoy listening to Stephen Fry's audiobook of the series way back in the day) but ACG's footage as well as his description of how it plays has me seriously considering getting it. I'll wait to see what another few trusted sources think before I pull the trigger.

Is there a thread for the game here? I can't seem to find one.

not that i know of, although the general opinion on HP in this forum is probably going to be tepid at best for a number of reasons

it's usually not something i recommend but this might be a case where going to reddit will get you the most mileage, especially since it's bound to have a gigantic amount of activity over there

Ack, I loving hate Reddit, browsing threads there is cumbersome and their up/downvote system is garbage. But then again you might be correct that attempting to get a good-faith discussion of just the game itself based on its own merits might be difficult here, unfortunately. Would the people that have decided they want nothing to do with the game not be able to just ignore the existence of a thread, the same way I completely ignore, say, the Sports forum, or FYAD? I mean, it took hundreds of people to make the game and I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet that the vast majority of them don't share the lovely views of the series' creator, is it fair to dismiss their efforts to create what seems like it might be a surprisingly decent product?
