Haze Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Am I the only one who finds the game rather ... meh? Not bad by any means, just not as engaging as I expected it to be. Maybe my distaste of Rowling has soured the overall experience, but the world outside of the castle (which is gorgeous and lovely) just does not feel alive to me. A collection of things to check off, not at all inspiring. Maybe it will improve when the story picks up (I just did the caretaker's lunar lament, lord i hate stealth missions lol) but it does not feel really magical to me. I think they have a solid base for a great game, but so far this is just good.

Marla Singer Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 I wonder if Quidditch is going to be added as a DLC in the future. There are so many references to it in the story and dialogue about it being "cancelled for this year" and the stadium for it is right there. Like the game is almost rubbing it in your face that they didn't implement it, but almost could have.
thatsmydemi Posted February 16, 2023 Author Posted February 16, 2023 If everything goes right, I'm probably getting a Series S and HL for 262€ tomorrow (or on Saturday)
Cleanromantic Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) All I want to do is attend class, explore the castle, hangout in the Gryffindor common room snug in my Gryffindor scarf and my uniform, go on day trips to Hogsmeade, spend free periods in the clocktower courtyard and beyond (my favourite area of the castle), and sneak to the forbidden forest at night. I'm not that interested in the main story tbh, I'm only doing the main quests to get more classes . Edited February 16, 2023 by Cleanromantic
Venom Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 My screen is currently frozen Gonna have no choice but to exit the game. Really hope I don’t lose my progress for the last hour
Venom Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 IT’S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT. I exited the game and it went back to the frozen screen. I exited the game and took out the disc and when I go to my last saved game, it’s still on the frozen screen. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Venom Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE “Load Game” OPTION Basically, on the Home Screen of the game where it has your saved file and game level, it kept sending me back to the frozen screen when I would push ‘x’ aka ‘continue’ on the ps5 controller. Thankfully, if you push ‘square’ aka ‘Load Game’, it lets you choose from all the auto saved files so I picked the one before the latest one and the screen wasn’t frozen anymore. Just thought I’d share in case any of y’all run into a similar problem. No mental breakdown tonight!!
gloamingtheplain Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 I literally just did the walk from Hogwarts all the way to Clagmar Coast (where the hut is with the guy inside who thinks he’s going to die from Spiders). Honestly, the walk from there and just exploring was magical. It’s actually insane how much of a real place it *really* feels. I don’t think I’ve ever explored an Open World map in a long time that feels like a real location that’s inhabited vs a map that is designed around specific plot points etc. that feels like a video game map. It’s hard to explain but I’m walking away from the game feeling like I just went on a hike in real life. I love the game is making Hogwarts more realistic while keeping the magic alive. It’s cool to see villages and magical creatures roaming beyond the school grounds. In the books and movies it kind of felt like the school was surrounded by either forbidden forests or lakes and that was it, here it makes sense that people live near the school and that Hogwarts is just the local school the same way Hogsmede is the local shopping village.
gloamingtheplain Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Also can I say, the team that worked on the Hogwarts textures incorporating the reflections with marble and gold We could have gotten a castle full of bleak stone and I wouldn’t have second guessed it because that’s what the movies were, but omg I was doing the Restricted Section quest and couldn’t stop admiring the green marble and gold accents - the game feels EXPENSIVE
thatsmydemi Posted February 18, 2023 Author Posted February 18, 2023 So it happened. I bought it. I've played for like an hour or so and it looks fantastic. Hufflepuff's common room is simply STUNNING. It feels like a different world. I couldn't stop admiring everything. The lights, the contrast of so many colours. It feels ALIVE. I have no words.

They smashed the common rooms honestly, Slytherins being underwater as well shook me. Ironically the only one that underwhelmed me was Gryffindor simply because it feels too similar to the HP5/6 games. Also you won picking Hufflepuff because of your exclusive quest location

Attitude Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 What was in that update file? It took a good 5 minutes to install.

gloamingtheplain Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) You can tell this was developed for PS5 and just ported over to PC. The game hates going over 60fps because it’s been designed to not go over it. My mate has a 3090 and it’s smooth as butter at 60fps but if he goes uncapped the game is a stuttery mess. Reminds me of that other WB Batman game where they purposely capped the frame rate and people demanded they uncapped it and the game ran terrible Edited February 18, 2023 by gloamingtheplain

Magickarp Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Seb, Nat, Pop are all slayful characters tbh. I'm glad they didn't force a Ravenclaw just cuz they felt they had to. The current 3 main companions are qualitea. Also thank God for Story Mode, i could not get the 3rd Broom upgrade after losing 10+ times, only to lose by 1s twice. I was raging, but Story Mode lets u pretend u won that quest 8 hours ago, thatsmydemi said: So it happened. I bought it. I've played for like an hour or so and it looks fantastic. Happy for u girl i thought u couldn't play it till u were home for the break, & was like why is she buying it rn u better STAN Sebby i'm so jealous of your hufflepuff exclusive quest 2 hours ago, Attitude said: What was in that update file? It took a good 5 minutes to install. Right this update isn't even the day 1 patch i think. I saw how the update ****** up a lot of peoples games and tried to stop it, but was forced to update anyways but it looks like the issues are only on PC?
