[Fermbiz]

Of course its #1 on Twitch. Twitch is ran by a bunch of bigots and nazis


All jokes aside, well deserved of the Hogwarts Legacy team!

 

[Evolved1]

Happy for the hundreds (or thousands) of decent people who made apparently a very good game.

 

[NikuNashi]

I never imagined there was so many TERFS in the world.

 

[SlimySnake]

Wow. Hope other publishers learn from this and put some effort into their licensed movie based games.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Cool. Game is very cool. I hope each of those viewers becomes a future sale.

 

[SantaC]

Why cant i play this game when everyone else seem to do. Unlocks tomorrow it says

You need the deluxe edition for early access.

Not a fuckiing chance.

Lots of people convince themselves they've played a game after watching a playthough.

Thats some bs really...

Digital deluxe version unlocked 3 days earlier. Publisher cashing in people's lack of self control, lol.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Early access on ps5 for people who pre-ordered the game.

edit: too late.

 

[RafterXL]

Biggest gaming surprise, for me at least, in a long time. It wasn't even on my radar and now I can't stop playing. I realize there are millions upon millions of Harry Potter fans, and would have sold well regardless, but all the discourse has actually attracted a lot of us who wouldn't have given it a second though otherwise.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Dang, held it too long.

Anyway big news, and I'm sure it's making a lot of salty people really mad to see this game do well.

VERY MAD.

 

[Stuart360]

This is honestly the best 'fuck you' to the loony mob that there ever could be.
I mean the masses have spoken, and its not what the loonies wanted to hear.

Maybe they will calm down with their daily nonsense from now on, nah who am i kidding.

 

[nani17]

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Fuz]

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

I don't know how I feel about being the number one most-watched game...

Doesn't that mean a to of people are buying it?

I hope those eyes on translate to $$$

 

[Jaybe]

Still strong, top viewed game 2x more than the next on the list.

 

[mhirano]

I wonder how long people (and the other forum) will keep ‘ignoring’ this game that is surely a strong GOTY candidate.
I bet it will be less than one month until everyone give in.

Lets be honest here, a lot of REEE, and the loony mob themselves, will be playing this game.
Make no mistake about that.

‘TWITCH RECORD BROKEN’ sure would make a nice thread title over there

 

[ExcitableBoy]

Well deserved. I’m having an amazing time with this game. Fuck cancel culture.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

If Tears of the Kingdom disappoints, I can easily see this being the runaway GOTY.

 

[VaultBoy101]

‘TWITCH RECORD BROKEN’ sure would make a nice thread title over there

"Twitch Record Broken by Game That Doesn't Exist"

I do wonder how sales discussions, not to mention end of year GOTY stuff, will be addressed there. It will be an absolute shitshow if they keep the policy the way it is now. "We can't talk about this year's videogame GOTY lists on this popular videogame forum." Absurd.

 

[Warablo]

Its kinda crazy how popular licensed media is these days. Back in the day didn't they have somewhat mediocre sales?

Most licensed games sucked for a long time. Good games typically get good sales, licensed or not.

 

[ReBurn]

Not a fuckiing chance.

Lots of people convince themselves they've played a game after watching a playthough.

Gamers learn that many games aren't worth buying after watching a playthrough so that makes sense.

 

[reinking]

Thats some bs really...

Well... ..you didn't bring me what I asked for last Christmas so now we are even.

 

[TheCrowsReaper]

Well deserved! It really is an amazing game.

 

[f~N_CH_1:3:3:3_SushiBoat]

Feels good. Feels right.

 

[Chozoldman]

DESTRUCTO BOYCOTUM!

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Thats some bs really...

Bigots got early access, game is great by the way.

 

[Certinty]

The funniest part is I reckon those boycotting this game have just ended up giving the game more attention, views and sales.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

over under 3mil for opening day of GTA 6?

Nah, earlier someone pointed out that they even deleted the only long standing thread about J.K Rowling (thread dedicated to shit on her) because they couldn't handle all the Hogwarts Legacy's spotlight.

Most people just want to discuss games but they've chosen some ill minded people to rule the site and they'll die on that hill.

There's no coincidence in the thousands of new accounts on NeoGAF.

 

[semiconscious]

I never imagined there was so many TERFS in the world.

yep. all this hogwarts legacy stuff has been very clarifying, eh? 'my way or the highway' has never been a good approach to gaining sympathy or support...

 

[Zoloft]

 

[Archaic101]

Not a fuckiing chance.

This. I literally thought that I'd beaten Last of Us 2, but couldn't find the trophy for it. Then I realized that I only beat the first half, then watched the remaining dialogue scenes on youtube.

 

[Aenima]

Happy for the devs involved. They seem to have pulled a great game, so they deserve all the W they can get to balance the dozens of ppl boycoting... dozens!

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Best game licence of all time?

Goldeneye probably has the nostalgia going for it but I don't see it anywhere near the reach and zeitgeist of Harry Potter.

 

[Warablo]

Most licensed games sucked for a long time. Good games typically get good sales, licensed or not.

Well even the superhero boom is crazy in movies/series now. Like they were never this big before.

This is a golden opportunity for GAF. Many more will come after the freedom and the old plain enjoyment of games.
Keep the politics and the other boring stuff out of our hobby.

 

[belmarduk]

Great to see the harassment campaign fail. Hopefully the success of this game will encourage the bullies to shut the fuck up.
Hogwarts Legacy is a great game and deserves to be judged on its own merits.

 

[ProtoByte]

I'll never celebrate Twitch because I think it's had an overall negative impact on the industry, but I am very happy that Hogwarts Legacy is clearly mega successful.

The nutcases who've railed against it in their bizarre crusade have been shown just nutty and/or irrelevant most people think they are.

 

[ByWatterson]

Reeeeeevolting

 

[Raven117]

Hogwarts aside (and I’m waiting to play tomorrow), it’s awesome to see a developer make the quantum leap in real time. Last one to do it was probably CDProjektRed with Witcher 3.

There has to be more to this story.

 

[Halo is Back]

The REeee tears must be flowing on biblical proportions

 

[Dr_Salt]

Bring on the reee memes.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I’m guessing it will be even bigger on Friday.
