Hogwarts Legacy is Somehow Based and Cringe

Ойындар

Hogwarts Legacy is actually pretty good. Not amazing, but I actually was enjoying myself for a while there. It has a lot of problems that modern games have but it has a unique appeal as an immersive Harry Potter experience. It's also secretly based under a mountain of cringe.

    Polygon made an review of this game. The reviewer, some Indian chick, whined how she longed for more Indian representation in the books, since series had like two Indian sisters. Then she starts to talk about Hogwarts Legacy, set in 1890 Scottish countryside, it has multiple Indian students and even professors. Instead of being happy to be representated in such a way, she says it all makes her skeptical. Quote: "While Rowling’s racial representation has never been good, tossing a half-dozen Indians into the Scottish countryside willy-nilly isn’t exactly better. Where did they come from - India, which was still under British rule in the 1800s? And where did they all go by the time Harry got there?"

    Honestly the house picking was one of the most disappointing things in the game... until I found out that your house barely even changes anything in the game other than the early part of a single main quest and then I realized that they simply put the whole 'house thing' on the wayside altogether. Anyway, literally a fucking single dialogue choice (that matters) with pretty easily discernable 'house alignments' to it. That's all it takes. And then you just get to cheat around it anyway with no consequences. And if you'd like a bit more of an actual "sorting experience"... Register to our special site now! No, thanks. Go fuck yourselves. Ravenclaw btw. The only house which literally didn't get even a 'secondary companion' character like Hufflepuff's Sweeting girl ended up being.

Dumbledore, masterminded the "Final Solution to the Goblin Question," consisting of "special camps to concentrate the Goblin populations." The camps were labeled as "Death camps" by the Scottish government, and Dumbledore and his compatriots were arrested. However, Dumbledore managed to escape to Argentina, where he waited for 30 years until he was officially pardoned. It is estimated that 6 million Goblins were killed in the camps, and to this day they demand that this cataclysmic event be taught in Hogwarts curriculum every year.

    You hit most of the points I've made about the game. I'm especially glad you mentioned something that no one else seems to and that's the deliberate use of the word "they" instead of he or she. A person is never a "they." The two points I believe you missed are out of your companions there's only 1 white guy. Only 1 of your friends is considered "evil" and you can even send this friend to wizard jail at the end. That of course must be the 1 white guy. The other point of the "EMPOWERMENT" you have a little girl, Poppy, and she's always saying "I'm not afraid I'll take on all the poachers RAWR." No. You are a little girl who barely knows any magic and these are adults who are battle hardened wizards. You SHOULD be afraid. It is moranic that you're not and that SHOULD result in consequences for Poppy, but of course it can't. If the enemies in this game are such pathetic strawmen then your character is not "brave" you aren't doing anything heroic and therefor your character is boring. There is more than I could add, but I did believe those two were the most worth mentioning in addition to your review.

    The goblin thing does make me laugh. The pronouns thing is stupid because "they" get upset when "they" aren't referred to correctly, so now no one gets to be referred to properly, when "they" are like 0.01% of the population, whatever. The house elves do not want to be free, expect Dobby and he's literally scorned for being free and dying because of it too, freedom literally kills them. It's a huge things in the book, they are a cursed race but the why of it is mostly mystery. I like to imagine that everyone tends to treat them like shit because of some ancient upset in the wizard world, but we'll never know. Better left that way too because Rowling's explanations for things in her books are often horrifying or down right dumb... also: big problem in HP in general is how lack luster the magic system is IMO

Everyone these days has an opinion, but there is a difference between an opinion and facts, she stated facts, and even went as far as to say she supports their cause. The reality is that no one needs to know what your sexuality is, keep it to yourself. There's only two people that need to know, yourself and your partner. Who cares what other people think, and stop trying to get everyone to agree with you. The joke is on them, because it clearly shows they're not happy with themselves. So you have the nerve to not accept yourself for who you are, and then you have even more nerve to get mad at others that don't accept you for who you are not.

If it doesn't matter, why the hell are pronouns such a big deal today for an angry and outspoken subset of the population? If it doesn't matter, why are laws being proposed in first-world countries threatening to arrest people just for getting people's pronouns wrong. No, I'm afraid it IS a big deal. Our language is being twisted and mutilated in such a way to set traps up for ostracization, criminalization, and to even alter our very thoughts so that we are always in line with the Party's policy. Pronouns were never meant to serve as part of your personal identity, but to be a shorthand for how others identify you. They were never meant to be titles by which we are compelled to refer others as though they're aristocrats looking down their noses at the filthy peasants. But that's exactly what they are: regal titles for a spoiled, entitled, and over-privileged and self-proclaimed aristocracy.

    It is so stupid that nobody talks about how a Harry Potter game is a basic AC type shooter with the gameplay focusing on combat only.. This game should have been a game full of puzzles, investigations with interesting and unique gamemechanics. Fighting should've been something really rare and special imo, just like in the books and movies. It is ridicilous how trained everyone is at this point to just swallow this mediocrity with no questions asked.

    It's not necessarily one or the other as a game can be fun and engaging to play regardless of the quantity of woke content in the game. It's not like writers and artists are also doing the gameplay and level designs (unless it's a really small indie company then there are possibilities of overlaps). With that said, if you don't like elements of the "progressive" agenda in your games you probably shouldn't be spending your money on brand new copies of these types of games if you're a principled individual, even if the gameplay looks like it's right up your alley. Even if I was an HP fan, I'd never buy this game due to the absurd levels of diversity and other "progressive" content.

    Natty's comment about the wands really bugged me cause I'm a huge wand lore nerd. Wands bring focus and clarity to using magic. Wandless magic is difficult and readily yields unpredictable results unless you're very experienced with it. The different woods, cores, and characteristics impact *how* a wand will help a wizard channel magic so that certain kinds of spells will be especially strong or precise depending on the wizard's innate qualities. It's why wizards form a bond with their wands. Instead of "wandless magic is just as strong and more instinctive", she should have said "Wandless magic can be just as strong but it takes much concentration and practice. I've enjoyed learning to use a wand. It's more instinctive and also feels much more dramatic."

    Wandless magic has been established since the books.

    It's a decent enough game I think. As you said the beginning was "magical" but it quickly loses its "charms". ;-) My biggest gripe is how surface level and naive everything is in both gameplay and story/worldbuilding. You're this Jesus-Like figure that always is amazing immediately, everyone loves you, every special thing (room of requirement, secret passages etc) is just presented to you. There is also no real antagonist/rival. Nothing is ever questioned or made more difficult for you. Even in the one questline that resembles some character conflict and growth, it's really just Ominis vs Sebastian, not you. In reality, you really are a brutal killer (even without unforgivables), that commits genocide on Goblins, captures, imprisons, grooms and sells creature for your own benefit and is actually quite manipulative and evil towards other characters at times. Gameplay wise everything is quite shallow. Crossed wands? Over after two rounds, you're the duelling jesus. Riddles? Solution told to you within seconds. Exploration? Barely anything can be done before the mainquest or a sidequest specifically tells you how to do it. Wann find the room of requirement? Nope, only once it is gifted to you. Wanna find secret passages to Hogsmead (the one eyed with is RIGHT THERE)? nope, only once a quest gifts it to you. Wanna do amything at your own pace or priority (like doing dark arts first)? Nope, only when the mainquest allows it/gifts it to you. I'm still having quite some fun with the conbat and the sebastian questline, but it seems to amount to nothing of real consequence. I'm flinging crucio and imperio left and right, but no one cares, lol. All in all maybe a 7/10, possibly a 6/10 depending on the last third of the game.

    "You're this Jesus-Like figure that always is amazing immediately, everyone loves you" I mean...that's Voldemort right there too, only person who didn't trust him was Dumbledore, but he was liked by everyone and seemed like a Jesus figure while hiding his darkness (only failing with Dumbledore) So no gripe with that here, but the rest you are correct.

    You're the only game reviewer that talks about biases I care about. If they make a 2nd one I hope they address these issues you brought up. I'd love it to be like KOTOR week evil options, but 4 houses is a lot. At best I think they make a community vote on DLC for houses. Even so they could modify the stat scaling, and house spells. G: normal mode H: Hard mode, lower stats and leveling R: higher leveling, easy mode S: more "good" guys attack you

    What is the point of an Harry Potter rpg where you cannot potentially play as Voldemort? The didn't think this one through. They didn't want to offend anyone and played it safe but it ends up being insipid.
