Where do you get your deluxe edition stuff. I found the potion recipe.

They just unlocked for me when I started the game. When WB's services came back up I got the rest from them.

Yeah. I was wondering where the stuff was in game. I will look around. They said it on the unlock screens. I should have wrote it down.

I'm a huge Potter fan, didn't have high hopes for this game (more because I was afraid of being disappointed), but man I did not regret dropping extra cash for the deluxe edition. The game is really amazing. There is a very evident attention to detail to this game. The castle itself, so far from what 4hrs of exploring could afford me, has been such joy to do. There's secrets and puzzles everywhere, and the castle is full of life with different interactions from NPCs (yes there are repeated ones, but it still adds to the identity of Hogwarts). The combat is slowly growing on me, they introduce new spells and abilities at a good pace so far.

The story is intriguing the more it opens up, the combat is slowly growing on me and I like how it isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. The controversy surrounding this game is incredibly stupid, and if people are boycotting this game, they're just depriving themselves of a potentially great experience.

This is a new one. Boycott something you worked on.

It’s so damn hilarious how the new generation is so good at self-own in a professional setting.

It’s like there is absolutely no filter between what they think and what they say. Everything just flows through.

The man got his paychecks. He wouldn't be saying this if he was a small indie dev.

For the cosmetics just choose some gear and hit square on it (if PS5) and then it will show all of the cosmetics. You need to brew the potion AFAIK,

 

[LordCBH]

I’m only like 10 hours in because of work, but, so far, it’s everything I was hoping it would be.

 

[nikos]

Anyone else playing on mouse & keyboard? I'm glad it works as well as it does.

 

[nikos]

How the fuck can I grow shit? My station only lets me plant one thing and the seeds I bought aren’t able to be planted? Weird.

This should become less of an issue later in the game.

 

[RafterXL]

Not going to say the game is as good as Elden Ring, because it's not, but it's the most fun I've had with a game since then. I'm actually enjoying the open world more than the castle.

They realized they can't stop people from being sane, so they are going to try to ruin their enjoyment of hte product. Limp dick losers, the lot of them.

That's the point. They don't actually want the general population to agree with them. They want to stay hated and play the victim because without their victimhood they're literally nothing, it's all they have.

Really enjoying the game, but the enemy target locking is borked (click R3, ps5) . Especially in the first few duels… totally bugged out. Won’t turn on and off reliably, won’t switch targets reliably. It occasionally even locks onto the pendulum in the room instead of the other duelers. Hope they fix it in a patch soon

Turn off camera relative targeting in the options. It's still not perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than the default. Hopefully, they fix targeting in the patch on Friday because you're right, it's absolutely broken at times.

this he/him about to get bullied out of the industry

Cool impressions so far!

this is the kind of response the game should be getting after release

If he gave a shit he'd donate some of his salary to some trans charity. Doubt it.

See kids? This is how adults behave.

 

[cormack12]

That guy lmao





I imagine the job offers are going to be flooding in

 

[Lyrical]

I hope they continue to make Hogwarts games. Maybe even a collection of games where your save continues game to game. Each school year has its own game.
This game is just brilliant!

 

[nikos]

That guy lmao

Other forums would have had this guy exiled from the industry if they didn't agree with what he was saying. It's good to be part of one that just laughs at these morons and moves on.

Rowling is basically a slaver, forcing him to make her video game else he’ll become destitute and die on the street.

What a cruel world.

It's just so ridiculous that it makes that tweet read like satire or a troll attempt, honestly.

 

[MirageMew2]

Alright.. who let this lockpicking game slide?

 

[BadBurger]

Sometimes I feel bad about rolling into one of

Spoiler

Ranrok's camps

and busting that ass, even if they are murderers and poachers. It just must sting getting your shit pushed in by a 16 year old in a bright yellow Hufflepuff robe, stupid green hat, glasses that look like they came from a novelty store, while he talks smack in a posh London accent.

 

[Liquid_015]

It is funny how the other students are not solving this stuff. The 5th year is getting all the fun.

It’s a real godamn mystery

 

[D23]

im starting to get really really addicted to this game. This feels like mmorpg sets in harry potter world but ur just solo ing.

Just one more quest…..

Wish i have all the time in the world to play more

“The team felt that it was very important to create a game that is representative of the rich and diverse world of Harry Potter as well as the groups of people who play games, which includes the LGBTQIA+ community. We have a diverse cast of characters that players will encounter throughout the game.”
Many have already criticised the character’s name though, pointing out that including both ‘Sir’ and ‘Ryan’ - both of which hold masculine connotations - in the name of a transgender woman is tone deaf. Some compared the name to Cho Chang and Kingsley Shacklebolt’s which are also considered to be thoughtless by many fans.

You can't make this shit up.

First they were mad at jk Rowling for being a homophobic in theirs own heads.

Then they find out there's a trans person in the game, and complains about the name is being too muscular.

This cult must be a joke, because I refuse to believe that someone this mentally ill is a danger to society and not being locked up and forced to get psychological help. .

It's really not smart. Nothing goes away on the internet. If the public is eating hogwarts legacy up and calling boycotts an over reaction, you can bet developers are checking their notes.

As big as the industry is its actually pretty small. You might get labeled as difficult to work with or just a constant shit racker.

 

[Ogbert]

Game is incredible.

Were it not for the nonsense, it would have got a low 90 on metacritic.

 

[GymWolf]

Late to the party and everyone already said this but i'm gonna say it once again, this is a dream game for hp fanboys and it's clear the devs put some heavy love on this project.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

Dude works on a game and says he won't buy the game as an ally... you're telling me someone who works on the game can't get a copy for free?

 

[SilentSpecter]

Hi. What is the best platform to play that game - PC (3070, 16GB) or PS5?

 

[MMaRsu]

I really miss a hello button, that I can greet other students with.

 

[MMaRsu]

My only gripe is that the male VA for my character sounds like a robot at times, in cutscenes it's fine but it's when you just have the normal dialogue.

Put the voice pitch in the middle, not anywhere else

 

[MMaRsu]

Hi. What is the best platform to play that game - PC (3070, 16GB) or PS5?

Probably ps5 because I get shitty performance with a 3070, 32gb ram, 5700x cpu

Yup. Sounded robotic and tinny otherwise

 

[GymWolf]

Not a wizard. Not a witch.

I'm a witcher.

Ugly AF.

Looks like a dude with a wig.

 

[GymWolf]

Sadly...I think he would have boycotted this game. Everyone from Giant Bomb have behaved predictably when it comes to controversies.

And those are the people who many gaffers love to follow?

Lmao.

 

[MMaRsu]

And those are the people who many gaffers love to follow?

Lmao.

Ryan Davis was a great and funny man. Jeff Gerstmann used to be cool, but now he's a pathetic annoying sack of shit. Mans thinks Sonic Frontiers is better than Hi-Fi Rush lmao.

The new crew and everyone there after Ryan died turned horrible. They didnt cover Kingdom Come Deliverabce because of the Reee controversy about no black people in 1600 Bohemia (poland). Fucking clowns.

 

[GymWolf]

Caught my wife up at 2am last night playing when she had to be up by 6. she hasn't been this into a game since Skyrim. Makes me so happy to see.

Maybe your wand wasn't enough for her?

Spoiler

sorry, i had to do it

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Ugly AF.

Looks like a dude with a wig.

It's not about the looks. It's about 13+ inch wand that I'm packing.

 

[GymWolf]

For people who love harry potter? Why does that sound strange?

If it was a shit game i could understand the confusion, but this is not the case.

The feeling of a living, breathing world, graphic and performance are already better than ER ever was, if you add an EXTREMELY beloved coat of paint and so much love in the project, and it's not that hard to imagine.

Not everyone prefer berserk fantasy over harry potter magic overworld.

 

[Jayjayhd34]

If Spider-Man gets delayed this could potentially be my game of the year was up all night playing.

 

[GymWolf]

Does anyone else feel like the colour palette used on this feels washed out?

Outside especially, but the same inside to a certain extent.

Kinda yeah, bit it could be a faulty hdr.

Perfect hdr is more rare than a virgin pornstar.

 

[ANDS]

Seems like it. I mean look at the user score on Metacritic.

There is no disconnect between users and reviewers. Which reviews are you seeing that suggest the 8 or 9 the game was given should have been a 10? This isn't a 10 game.

. . .if anything, because it is a good game based on an existing media IP, it's getting more shine than it otherwise might have.
