People I know said the new harry potter game is actually pretty good as a mindless adventure game. Is that true?

I’m going to say “yes” but I’ve never played it or read anything about it

perhaps you would enjoy reading the Hogwarts Legacy thread in Games, or maybe the Hogwarts Legacy thread in Imp Zone? a lot of questions like this were addressed there

The Hogwarts Legacy thread was like 90% shitposting, 10% serious-ish conversation about Harry Potter (albeit the same conversations that have been going on for 20 years), and a couple of sincere weirdos who got summarily mocked (like the person who said without prompting "a trans person came in for a job interview today and I did NOT hatecrime them :smuggo:").

Hogwarts Legacy is basically a copypasted ubisoft game with wizards instead of guns and the story is about goblins doing blood libel for some reason

It's another completely homologized game product like assassin's creed, farcry, forspoken, etc. So the only reason to get it over the others is if the setting is particularly appealing to you.

For some insane reason the hogwarts legacy discourse spilled out in the star citizen thread and 4 posters decided that was where they would take their stand against 'wrongthink'

The only insightful thing about the actual game that I gathered is that apparently there's hints of a more detailed game like every student and teacher having their own housing and bed, but none of it matters because it's a mass appeal open world game so it's not going to have anything as obtrusive or interesting as NPC schedules.

I remember this, it started as like a throwaway joke about Star Citizen's environments and spiraled into transphobia.

The other slightly interesting thing about Hogwarts Legacy is that the game goes out of its way to make you a 15 year old transfer student (in the wizarding world?), because presumably they did not have the guts to have you be capping goblins as a ten year old.

I just bought Assassin's Creed Origins because it was on sale, and it's immediately one of my favorite games. Bayek of Siwa owns as a character. Be a Knight for Ancient Egypt? Hell yeah, I'm sold.

Mrs ghost who does not game at all was the most hype anyone has ever been thinking that this was the Harry potter game she wanted since she was a child where you choose your house and go to classes and it's basically persona+the sims but with wands. And then it wasn't that and she was very sad

Harry Potter fans want Persona, but not anime. Star Citizen folks want Freelancer, but also EVE. Both of these goals appear to be impossible.

Just play Persona, it’s better in every way and slightly less embarrassing.
