Frozen99 Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 is it surprising it did better than ER since that was a new IP, HL has the harry hype and the controversy (just saying). anyway, the gameplay looks absolutely amazing, so happy it's doing SO well

Ok, I heard when you have the choice of choosing characters to always go with Sebastian from Slytherin. The stronger character with better voice acting.
Rigalo Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) One of my friends mom literally bought a ps5 this week for this game lol. TRASH!!!! Edited February 16, 2023 by Rigalo
magazine Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Haven't played it yet but it's most likely just another ubisoft open-world, saved by the Harry Potter brand. Elden Ring remains better
POPTART Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Well deserved The game is stunning and it's everything I wanted from a HP game
RunUpDoneUp Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Considering how big middy potter is, of course the audience ate it up. This is in no way a reflection of talent or reverence. Boycotts never work and successful franchises have to be objectively terrible in mechanics to fail at the levels hp is at. That fandom is rabid, they'd buy a used boot if it was marketed as being from one of the characters.

Cruel Summer Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 All the headlines comparing it to Elden Ring lately are so silly. Like, yes, Harry Potter game with an established IP based on the best-selling books in history outsells entirely new game by a team whose prior biggest game sold about 10 million over its lifetime. It's not like the Elden Ring release was some high water mark commercially.
Miles. Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 I feel like the "boycott" only made it bigger...

gloamingtheplain Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 The fact that the PS4/XB1 & Switch consoles have the biggest audience share and it’s not out for those games yet. This could be the biggest single player game in the last 15 years honestly.

Hogwarts Legacy is a top tier RPG single player game which is very rare to find these days in abundance. People are going to gravitate towards them regardless if it’s based on the IP or not.

If you have already waited up to this point, I would just continue waiting for the patch 1.7 and Phantom Liberty to be released first, it looks like those two will come with some significant changes.

It's not like the Elden Ring release was some high water mark commercially. Not at all. Plenty of established IPs don't touch a fraction of what Elden Ring achieved. Elden Ring is the benchmark because it was a phenomenon & shattered everything not named Fifa and COD, including Marvel properties. I think people suspected this game will be big, but very few thought it'd be this big (likely 15m in one week )
Otter Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 And I recall people saying Secrets of Dumbledore was a reflection of people's interest in the IP dying and this game's expectations were also lowered because of that
CaptainMusic Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Most people don’t know about the boycott, and just because someone does yet still bought the game doesn’t mean they support JK Rowling’s transphobia. Harry Potter is so much bigger than her, I know many liberal people who support trans people yet bought/will buy this game.
TheSoneNavy Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 As it ******* should . The devs did an outstanding job with this. I know Sony and WB pockets are happy atm.
Baby Judas Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Harry Potter, you'll always be famous! JKR stays winning, I can't stand it.

Honestly, people irl don't give a **** about Rowling and what she says or do.
