This looks fucking amazing . Really ambitious too . Cant believe Avalanche made this.
What an ambitious game
Gameplay and graphics is what I expectedā¦ Huge
Talk about story, expansions, mtx, loot, farming, basically whatever whatever type of genreā¦ This game has it
This is next Big IP coming out after Starfield
This game will have legs for years and years to come
That 4 billion price for WB games now seems a bargain deal to me
Avalanche and partner studios have embarked on the most reputable and ambitious GaaS journey

The game definitely looks good.
I might be the only one, but something about it reminds me of Fable and that is a good thing.

Books accurate Hogwarts surprised me ngl .
The combat looked painfully mediocre, but exploring Hogwarts seems like itās going to be good.

everything about the game looks phenomenal, the HP RPG fantasy everybody has been waiting for for decades now. All except the combat. Itās like theyāre unable to decide if they want it to be turn based or realtime, so it feels like a weird middle ground. Everyone just standing around waiting for you to finish your spell strings with one enemy, and then the next, so on. I do hope the sandbox within those strings themselves are varied and interesting enough to not become stale few hours in.
definitely got a Fable vibe as well.

So yeah Amazon put up the Switch version preorder
I assume this is not Cloud because itās a physical game. If this port turns out good like Witcher 3 and Doom Eternal itās gonna make certain Japanese studios look very silly for continuing to ignore Switch for apparently āpower reasonsā (like Atlus not putting Soul Hackers 2 on Switch or Bandai Namco not giving the platform any of their big releases)

The first few minutes made me fearful that we were looking at a Order 1886-style game with very linear scripted scenarios. But then they come out and explicitly call it an āopen-world action RPGā so thatās great to hear.
The next-gen versions are gonna look spectacular. Mocap work looks pretty fantastic as well. Iām definitely excited.
Is this a smart delivery game?
Or square enix for being so incompetent and lazy for putting ports of ps2 games as a cloud version knowing damn well the switch could run them native and you cant sell physical versions of cloud apprently
Doesnāt appear to be. Via Best Buy website, they have PS4/PS5/XBO/XSX versions listed for their respective $60/$70 price tag. Also, on the XBO/XSX versions, the cover says āinternet requiredā but this isnāt listed on the PS4/PS5 cover.

If thatās the case, sounds like Iāll wait for a price drop. I understand the hype and donāt begrudge anyone buying it, but Iām not in support of $70 games.

To each their own. I have no problem with buying $70 games as long as itās a game I want to play. Hogwarts Legacy looks great and seems to be a dream game for Harry Potter fans but itās a skip for me as I have never watched or been into any of the Harry Potter stuff.
Since this is published by WB, I am expecting Gotham Knights to be the same price tag and unlike HL, this is a day one purchase for me, $70 or not.
On a side note - HL does come with a $10 Gift Card via Best Buy which I just noticed.
Thatās nice to get a $10 cert but Iām not in the U.S. atm so thatās a little bit of a pain. Iād rather own digital in general. I have more than enough to keep me busy until it hits the price I want.

I havenāt seen anyone here discuss the possibilities of microtransactions in this game, but I did see some rumbles elsewhere, where people were speculating that the potion timers might point to that.

Not sure where you can put them in the game in the first place considering that the game does not have online component
Good thing for gamers.
Thatās good. Microtransactions have no place in full price games. Full stop.
Cosmetics are fine if you offer a solid selection as included with the game, anything tied to gameplay? not a fan. Especially for games that continually get free DLC in them.
Iām late to the party here. I have not been following this game at all and just got around to watching the 14 minute video.
That was not what I expected at all. The scope of the game is WAY bigger than I expected. It looks like a full blown rpg. I am very curious to hear playtime estimates.
Obviously still some details to be revealed, but I was very impressed by what weāve seen so far.
