Don’t give Epic your time or money. Putting aside Fortnite and their pro-AI stance, they forsake the Unreal Tournament series. That’s just unforgivable.
As for Hogwart’s Legacy, the game is decent and even fun at first but gets repetitive quick. Bully from 2006 is a similar game minus the magic and lucrative IP attached. A shame it didn’t get a sequel.
And as for J. K. Rowling, forgive me but she’s a cunt. I wasn’t huge on Harry Potter when growing up so I don’t have any nostalgia about the series - be it the books or movies- but I know many of you do. I also know that many of you are LGBTQ+ so how you decided to reconcile with the series is up to you. While you can separate Rowling from your affection to the series, don’t give her any more your time, money or attention.
Free transphobic merch is still transphobic merch
But hogwarts legacy is actually a really good game, the whole problem was that it might lead to jk rowling getting more money. Though they never did clarify if she got a cut or a flat fee that would have already been paid. Either way, this should nullify that, but the team that made the game did a great job, and made it more in-line with the spirit of the books instead of the author. Went specifically against her current wishes. The trans inclusion and positivity was pretty well done. Even if it was put in to spite her, they didn’t draw attention to it, it just is there, and no one bats an eye.
Edit: I should mention that I played it in VR, I can’t speak to what the game is like without VR. But I really enjoyed it. UEVR with a motion controls mod, there is also a voice casting mod, but I didn’t personally go that route.
I have to disagree, it wasn’t a particularly good game. Everything felt off. I was days into the game and it felt like I was still doing tutorial missions. Basic mechanics weren’t unlocked until 3 quarters through the game. And I can’t imagine it has much replayability at all beyond trying to hunt down every trinket.
It never granted you the feeling of being a wizard or whatever made Harry Potter special, it made Wizards feel ridiculous. 90% of the game is spamming a generic unnamed “attack” spell
really good game
Yeah no
Isn’t the game about putting down a Jewish slave rebellion?
No, no, they are goblins not Jews. By the end of 10th grade this 16 year old has killed like 1000 goblins and 1000 “dark” wizards, all extrajudicial, and everyone is just like “good job on your homework”. It’s pretty fucked up.
Hook nosed greedy goblins who control the banks, huh? I’m sorry, I was clearly mistaken. I’m sure there’s no subtext in that.
