Was a little disappointed to see a thread for this game with 90 pages already, but then I saw the OP and that 100% of the posts in those 90 pages were shitposts and it brought me joy.

I appreciate this forum.

Ok I just loaded up the game and I'm having a hard time choosing a house. Should I pick the one the starts with a K98 or the one that starts with an MP40?

I see posts like that as more about preemptively defending oneself against how the act of simply buying, playing, and wanting to talk about this wizard game will be perceived by places like this, by which I mean places filled with people who will scream at the top of their lungs about unrelated social injustices when most people just want to chill and talk about video games. It’s insurance against those attacks, so when they come up, this person can highlight their own previous post and say “shut the gently caress up, I do right when I can, the simple act of purchasing a video game does not define my entire moral identity like you’re implying it does.“

Basically posts like those show a lack of trust in this community to behave like rational adults.

Now imagine what it's like to be a trans person merely existing in public and/or on the internet.

The player character in this is a terrifying freak from the perspective of other characters:

- arrives five years late and is immediately able to do every type of magic after a 5 min lesson. Doesn't really show up for other classes
- other pupils wear school uniforms, you can stroll around in a suit of armor
- doesn't use a bed, just curls up like a dog on the floor and passes out wherever
- other students chill out at night, they're out murdering 30 filthy subhuman goblins to get a new hat
- has a dorm, but also a gigantic secret apartment on campus
- casually tosses around unforgivable curses that shred peoples' souls

truly, the ubermensch.

It is a decent way to re-experience the storyline of DBZ if you really wanted to do that. Gameplay is, however, somewhat mid.

And it got really overshadowed by DBFZ for people getting their Dragonball videogame fix, with much more fun gameplay. If a completely different genre, obviously.

yeah that's kinda what I was afraid of. DBZ RPG sounds really cool but if there's one thing dragon ball games need to stop loving doing it's retelling the story of DBZ. At least Xenoverse went into Super a bit and had it's own unique stuff

It's 11pm and I am silently cruising at a height of 1000ft a few clicks north of Hogsmeade. Three red dots appear on my minimap. Paydirt. I lower altitude to check it out. Goblins. They seem to have set up camp and are cooking dinner. Best to be sure. I touch down in the middle of their camp, they yell in surprise and I immediately unleash a wave of ancient elemental magic that rips them apart. I pick through the remains.

Now I have a new pair of gloves.

Depends on what you mean by derailed. The game will sell far more thanks to this controversy, and most people don't really give a poo poo about these culture wars.

Minecraft is the most successful videogame of all time, and was made by Notch and 4chan.

Does derailed mean "will make more money than it otherwise would have?". If so, we sure have derailed this Hogwarts game!

I would say don't buy the game, but some goon is going to read that and then buy a copy for himself even though he doesn't like Harry Potter, to spite me.

I don't know that it's sold more because of the controversy, but no question it is selling extremely well.

Which means there is inevitably gonna be a sequel, perhaps more than one.

If most people don't care about the game's issues, then the controversy didn't really affect its sales either way. Some people decided not to buy it, other weird fucks spite bought it, ultimately it will have made as much as it would have regardless.

There is kind of a Striesand Effect going on, where people who hate it are generating more news about it, and then people who hate those who hate it are also generating news. It's an anger feedback loop that generates publicity. Believe it or not, not everyone is aware of the existence of this game. Any additional publicity increases awareness and therefore sales.

I think the "my brother in christ" meme has spread pretty far and wide without people knowing that it was originally "my n----" or that it had to do with subway sandwiches

Also it's just 2 tweets, it's 3 sentences?

Fair, I guess I should say I don't know that it's sold significantly more because of the controversy. It's a game in a popular genre directly targeted at an underserved fandom. Short of being a technical trash fire, I think it was probably doomed to do huge sales.
