i'm 48 hours into hogwarts legacy as of now and i have to admit

it is worse than rdr2

it is worse than death stranding

it is worse than cyberpunk

i play like 1 title a year and i expect it to be a masterpiece

i expected so much more https://i.imgur.com/QC06Uza.jpg

Despite having rather low expectations, I enjoyed Days Gone much more than I expected to and ended up playing all the way through it. The story isn’t the most imaginative and the dialogue isn’t on par with something like The Last of Us, but the gameplay and traversing Oregon by motorcycle was so satisfying.

are you a big harry potter fan? My understanding is it’s pretty average as an isolated game but if you love HP it’s awesome to finally be able to play that world

it's a good open world game

but i don't want "good", i want it to amuse me, amaze me, scare me, make me feel

so far i have zero connection to characters and zero investment in my own character (including the rpg elements)

as opposed to even that lame plot twist of cyberpunk with the best chum

it's not about bugs for me, it's the gameplay of hogwarts legacy that's just dull

no thrill like encountering a hanged person on a tree, dismounting the horse to investigate and being jumped by three robbers armed with only knives

and this wasn't even a quest, just a random encounter in rdr2

I was planning on waiting for the switch port and then hoping some of the game play bugs would be ironed out by then

Did you ever try the games on PSP? Those were supremely underrated - fitting the graphics and gameplay experience on the console was truly amazing

i tried the previous one

i am a fan of the original gow saga

repetitive level design reuse with the same locations over and over again killed all the interest in the game and i dropped it

haven't tried the last one, even though i've heard great things about it

Have you tried playing God of War: Ragnarok?

When did you play the other games? Cyberpunk at launch was pretty terrible. I waited 6m+ before I bought it and played it. Sucks that most AAA games coming out are still average/ buggy af

Vro FromSoft games are rhythm games

Get groovy with it

i can't play the fromsoftware games, i don't want a game to f me, i want it to give me an experience

miss me with that 10 hours to get through the same boss bs

it has its audience, the audience isn't me

ugh I just want to play cyberpunk but with 3rd person

story-wise death stranding was the best — but gameplay wise it was more of a meditation rather than true action

before that heavy rain was the best (detroit didn't hit that sweet spot)

every game has its place in time — rdr2 was perfect for its time and it seems like since then no game could top it for me

i want to say that all of the games i finished recently (rdr2, ds, cyberpunk) but i unfortunately cannot

only rdr2 hit that sweet spot on 50+ hours of story, gameplay and random events (i still remember how i finished the game, went exploring AND A WHOLE FREAKING NEW LOCATION OPENED UP it was insane)

These types of “open world” games need to make you feel like you accidentally discover something magical. Not many games have the insight to do this anymore. They just give you everything upfront and its boring. Botw did this insanely well

Can’t even play Quidditch. What a rug! 😜
