Topic: Hogwarts Legacy

@Sisilly_G Ohhhh, I hope that's the case! It's a crime that the Splatoon 2 complete edition cart only had Japanese language on it.

edit: If they'd offered that Splatoon 2 complete edition with english, imagine how many units they'd sell to people who've already own Splatoon 2. They'd bee selling their game twice to people, and we'd eat it up! XD And they didn't even need new content.

@WoomyNNYes : Right? I also bought the Breath of the Wild DLC cart even though I had purchased the DLC (which is a rarity). Better yet, it has the latest version on the cart too, making it the definitive way to own the game. It's a tragedy that these sorts of releases are the extreme exception, rather than the norm.

@Bunkerneath Don't see that link that shows that?

As a Switch physical collector, I now have another reason to dunk on this release.

The box art has been updated and now includes a required download banner.

Some preview from people that got to play the Beta build for 2 hours!

There are limitations but it looks promising for a beta build!

sighs and just sits there waiting for SOMETHING Switch related -.-

Seems as though retailers have the Switch version locked in for July 25th.

Meanwhile, aggregate scores are looking really good.

Now we continue waiting for the news of the caveats of how this comes to the switch: cloud version, or running natively with ridiculously short draw distance & distracting pop-in. Unless there's new hardware, which seems unlikely. Forgive me for beating a dead horse with any of that. HL is the only game other than Tears of the Kingdom that I'm looking forward to this year.

Coincidentally, HL and Tears of the Kingdom are also at the top of the list for games most likely to put the mythical 64GB game cards to use.

@WoomyNNYes I think they said it's native because one dev said they were really happy with how it's turning out.

On the plus side, a lot of HL scens in the IGN review are indoor areas & areas that don't have large draw distances. The Switch can do ok in those areas. The large, forested outdoor areas & broom flying are where I'm most nervous/skeptical.

Given the PS5 can't even get the game above 1080p for 60fps and the PC Port seems to be a total disaster, I wouldn't hold your breath for a great Switch port. I assume, unless they do a crazy amount of optimisation between now and the Summer, the game is probs gonna either run like arse on the Switch, or be extremely compromised to get it running semi-stably.

I think I'm gonna cave and get this on xbox. I may double dip if the switch version gets good enough reviews.

excellent reviews for the game..

What's going on with this game is honestly gross with all the harassment happening. I kinda want to buy the game and stream it but I fear I might get doxxed, it's that bad of a situation.

The game still looks great though! and it has some good reviews so I'm happy.

@Kermit1 So buy it and play it without streaming it. Don't let drama keep you from enjoying a game you enjoy. Besides what does it matter if you don't stream a game?

@Kermit1 Yeah, not saying it’s a good thing that some people are being so aggressive with streamers, but for the regular consumer it should be a non-issue… Unless said regular consumer goes around flaunting the fact they purchased the game on social media to get a reaction.

(Btw Happy Birthday!)

Can't remember if I said this here already or not, but someone on Twitter (I think) said you can still enjoy a series or something and still hate the creator for whatever they've done. I'll still watch and enjoy the Harry Potter movies, I may get this game as well. Apparently the game has some issues but don't seem to be a huge deal, hopefully we'll see some Switch gameplay of the game tomorrow because that's the only thing I'm curious about now. If it ends up being terrible, then...PS4/Steam for me, then...I guess. lol

Anyways yeah, if you want the game just get it...if you want to stream/record it, go for it...if people give you problems, then...
....
Uhhhhhh....
Then...ummmm...
...
_{runs away}

@Tasuki It was just a thought I had, streaming it, I wasn't gonna do it anyway since my wifi would probably have a stroke.

@Eel (Thank you!) I just want to play the game and not look at the "drama" but "media" says otherwise. I am very hyped, though I will probably get the game next week at the soonest.

I’m certainly curious about the switch version. Apparently the game is pretty demanding, so I wonder how will that go.

@Joeynator3000 Like with Michael Jackson, I like his music... But not the person...
