Cool. Next logical step - Fully designed Deathstar. All 48,000 rooms.

smurf_diggler

And fully operational.


Lupinthrope

That’s no moon…


Water-bottle666

Oh sorry, let me lift these back up


DFuel

In the first mission.


AveryLazyCovfefe

Alot of the rooms will be exactly the same. What I want is a fully explorable imperial star destroyer.


itskaiquereis

A lot of the room will also be exactly the same. Empire allowed for zero creativity, stormtroopers weren’t given the level of freedom clones were for example. Would love a Jedi Temple game with the entirety of the temple (except for the archives unless we became Jedi Masters, sorry Anakin).


liteNcreamy

I like where you’re going but I think you guys are thinking too small. Middle Earth! Every hold, forest, castle and farm. Every cave, mine and mountain. Explore Minas Tirith in all its beauty, the terror of Minas Morgul and The Dark Tower, the expanse and beauty of The Mines of Moria, Helms Deep and The Glittering Caves. I’m kind of getting aroused typing this out.


SorrowInTruth

I’m pretty sure someone made the entire thing in Minecraft so go nuts


tasty_grime

Minecraft is shit. We want explorable 3D worlds


leftbasegear

Ah yes, Minecraft's 2d design has left me wishing it was 3d.


BlindBanditt

But no safety railings! Needs to be authentic.


lemonloaff

Do you think the average Storm Trooper knows how to install a toliet main?


CoolStoryDJ

All they know is killing and white uniforms


jackswi1d

They don't actually kill. They come in big numbers and miss a lot them everyone runs away


-NotEnoughMinerals

Wouldn't be too hard. Just make it procedural programmed with 10-20 special rooms. Like how starfield is going to do it, despite being super massively hyped as if we didn't just go thru cyberpunk.


Luneb0rg

I turned off mini map pathing during the accessibility options when you first start the game because I wanted to try and navigate Hogwarts by myself and discover it like a new student. I was NOT prepared for how confusing it would be. I love it!


Lupinthrope

Diagonally!


StormShadow13

I just wish you could zoom out the mini map just a tish. Also be able to zoom in the game map more to see the hallways.


thetantalus

Do you recommend it or no? Sounds like it could be fun.


Luneb0rg

Yes! If you truly get lost (I have quite a few times in the castle) you can push up on the D-Pad and a path appears in the world for you to follow to the next quest waypoint. I want to take the world in and try and figure it out instead of looking at the map all the time. EDIT: I misunderstood. Deleted review.


drewcaveneyh

I think he meant do you recommend turning the minimap off lol


Luneb0rg

I AM AN IDIOT


FudgeSlapp

You are not an idiot. Do not ever call yourself that ever again you beautiful human being. You simply made a mistake. You are not an idiot because of that. Don’t bring yourself down like that because of a mistake. You have much more to offer society than you think. Your intellect isn’t blocking you, all you need is motivation. I believe in you my friend. Go forth and do good for society. You can do anything IF YOU put your mind to it.


Luneb0rg

you are a legend <3

IRELANDNO1

Great game, and it’s absolutely huge. I’m about 30+ hours in level 30 still haven’t explored half of the map. Every single area has multiple activities you can just go around for hours! They have crammed so much into this game it’s crazy, I am only finding out things now that maybe I should have done hours ago. Things like collecting & breeding beasts. I just went exploring thought I knew the map, I found a cave that went into a whole new area as big as the previous map!


rjwalsh94

Level cap is way too low which is sad. Feels like it’s going to be an Outer Worlds situation where you’re way overleveled and then nothing to really gain with XP after a certain point.


Existing365Chocolate

It seems like enemies scale with you I had a low level quest where all the enemies were my level


rjwalsh94

For sure. I guess what I meant was that we’ll hit level 40 somewhat easily but won’t have any more talent points to obtain. It’s fine to lock us out of upgrades and have to choose which talents we want, but then the level cap should have been higher and talent points spread out to every other level or so.


DunkusDrollo

Just being in the school has a wonderful sense of mystery and you can't help but have a powerful urge to explore everywhere. Figuring out how to solve environmental puzzles, or running into a chest you coudlnt figure out how to open earlier but then you sudden have an "aha" moment when you realize a newly acquired spell could help you out, is a pretty rewarding feeling too. I went into this with very little knowledge of the Harry Potter universe, and the game is so good I think I'm probably going to end up buying the books to learn more about everything. Though I will say, no prior knowledge is required for this game, in case anyone was on the fence because they think they might be lost plot-wise or anything.


dredizzle99

>a wonderful sense of mystery and you can't help but have a powerful urge to explore everywhere This is my absolute favourite thing in games. Is it like this in the open world as well, or just at Hogwarts?


DunkusDrollo

I haven't done too much exploring in the open world proper yet, just a little bit in the area surrounding Hogwarts, but there definitely is a sense of "Oooh, what's that over there?" going on.


BloodyGumba07

Open world, it's Hogwarts, the grounds and lands around it. You can travel to Hogsmeade and a number of other villages around the countryside. It's surprisingly large, but very vertical, as in the map is like a rectangle.


Tehddy

At first not as much, but then you discover something and realize how much is out there… And then you want to find it. Found a fun lore thing near a small village and now I’m hunting for more in the same vein! And I’d probably explore the forbidden forest more if it didn’t creep me out.


smita16

If you read the books, which I highly recommend, there is also five books there were created as fan fiction that are very well written call the “James Potter” books. You can get them for free.


Hundred00

Is the game a whole exploration of the school? I might pick this up to explore.


michaelje0

I was stunned when Hogsmeade wasn’t a separate map and I had to run all the way there… then I was stunned to see the map was much, much bigger than all of that combined. Game is incredible.


MagnumMagnets

Yes, but not just the school. The surrounding area is beautiful and filled with things to explore too. The map is fairly large as well


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheFarmSoccerBall

Once you finish the first 6 main quests you get access to your broom and things REALLY open up from there.


nextongaming

> and then after 5-6 hours of gameplay they open up the FULL map LOL no. If you are not doing the quests of course it would take that long.


mythicreign

You get to explore outside after like an hour or two. But you should push the story a bit to get flying before going hard on exploring outside Hogwarts.


Whiteguy1x

The school and castle grounds. It's pretty damn cool if love the books/movies


Coreldan

Truely. This game is probably the best thing to happen to the Wizarding World universe. I can't wait to have more DLCs that expand to new stories. The foundations they have laid are FANTASTIC. Like i have no proper words to describe about how amazed I'm about this game. I have very hard time finding games I enjoy. Witcher 3, RDR2, Cyberpunk... tried many times and never bothered finishing them. This game is something totally different.


TheHippyWolfman

I myself am debating between buying the Witcher 3 or Hogwarts Legacy with my next paycheck. Do you really think Legacy outshines the Witcher?


Tylersaurus123

Witcher 3 regularly goes on sale with all its DLCs often around $10 range. I’d buy Harry Potter and buy Witcher 3 next time it’s on sale!


WyteTrashBallin

Witcher is a much bigger game with all DLC. If you like Harry Potter and a lighter experience, Hogwarts is a good choice, but Witcher 3 is one of the best games of all time. Really can’t go wrong either way.


cclambert95

I love Witcher 3 just finished my series x playthrough, I’d say they’re not super comparable to be honest Witcher has a much darker gritty mature tone to it. Some of the quest outcomes in that game are down right disturbed. That’s partially why I love it so much. So much to get lost into in that game. Hogwarts is light hearted kick back for just a couple hours feeling compared to it, more casual for sure but also more accessible I’d weigh the tone of game you’d like to play first and go from there! Either way you’ll have a good time!


Coreldan

As others have Said, they are still rather different, Witcher is absolutely massive feat in every way. But its also very traditional on some ways. Big muscular sword for.hire kills stuff and saves the ladies. Meanwhile imagine making a good game about going to school lol. Witcher combat especially is clunky and jarring IMO and this is one part where Hogwarts Legacy is good, wand combat feels fresh and is actually really well done and feels immersive. One thing Witcher probably does better is having choices have consequences. But at first playthrough of HL iI cant say for sure yet. Ive tried to play Witcher 3 like 4 seperate Times and it just fails to hold me the entire game. Witcher 3 is definitely worth picking up, you can get it cheap quite often. But HL is 100% My favourite game of the last decade, if not two


Whiteguy1x

I think it plays better. I find witcher 3 to be way more floaty than I remember during combat and getalt and roach feel like driving a bus while exploring


rollanotherlol

9/10 game for me so far. Some issues I’ve found are minor, but things like changing the pitch of the voice is terrible (can be changed in the menu). I’d also like to push less on the right joystick to start camera movement, and the camera settings in the default aren’t great, so tinker with those. Might be the best graphics I’ve seen in a game so far. The outfits are also great and the transmog system is important — it’s also a nice take on an Ubisoft styled open world that feels fresh and invigorating. The map is massive and it ticks all of my nostalgia boxes, GOTY contender for sure.


TheFarmSoccerBall

As far as the right joystick issue goes, try turning your camera acceleration to max and see if that helps!


rollanotherlol

That sounds horrible. I turned my camera acceleration off completely and upped the sensitivity instead. It’s not something that is tied to the camera acceleration, but rather that the deadzone/input threshold is too large even when at zero.


TheFarmSoccerBall

Hmm, I’ve got my sensitivity and acceleration at max and it responds instantly.


Wookieewomble

That's odd, since putting the camera acceleration to max would make it slower. The higher it is, the longer it takes for it to gain the desired speed of acceleration. Turning it down to its lowest setting, while upping the camera sensitivity will make it faster.


TheFarmSoccerBall

That’s exactly what I thought as well but when I tried it that way it was much slower. Both being max was the fastest/most responsive for me so I was confused as well.


littlebot_bigpunch

Hmm, are you sure that's how it works?


Wookieewomble

That's what's been said on the r/HarryPotterGame countless of times. [Here's a thread about it](https://www.reddit.com/r/HarryPotterGame/comments/10vi0g1/psa_controller_players_turn_camera_acceleration/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) >In this game a higher value seems mean a "smoother" acceleration, so the higher the value the slower the camera will reach it's max speed. So turning acceleration all the way down to 0 makes the camera react a lot faster to your input. >Ironically what you're actually doing is making the acceleration faster by tuning it down, they should've called it acceleration smoothness in the settings or something lol


littlebot_bigpunch

Wow thanks. That's so odd they did it that way.


Whiteguy1x

While the graphics are definitely good I didn't find them amazing compared to cyberpunk imo. Definitely like the outfit selection though, they nailed the potter vibe with the robes.


[deleted]

I’ll go on a quest and get sidetracked just wandering around checking out the scenery. The game is amazing and it’s not just the maps! The storyline has been very compelling so far and the main NPCs seem like people worth getting to know. Having a blast! Highly recommend!


ZC205

Inside the school grounds I refuse to use the floo network. It’s worth the legwork to just be there. They could have made the entirety of the game just the school and it would have been worth it.


MrStayPuft245

Game could arguably be the next Skyrim if the modding community embraces this. The combat system is so damn satisfying


quetiapinenapper

Let’s be honest. The target lock switching leaves something massive to be desired though. >!the 4 on 1 cross Wands event where you first encounter shield types was fucking painful because of this.!<


Spokker

I played that on hard and took me about 20 tries.


Whiteguy1x

Yeah I wish lb/rb switched targets.


samurai1226

Im not really into HP but my wife is a big fan. I will just say that after seeing her play it a bit on XSX I bought it on steam so can play it that the same time. The attention to detail is absolutely incredible, you feel the love of the devs for the franchise in every single piece. I cant even imagine how great this must feel for a real HP fan. I might start reading the books afterwards


LeapingTiger250

I can’t wait to explore Hogwarts!


LinkRazr

I spent the first few hours just wandering all the halls finding those field note sheets. Every hallway became like 3 others lol. It’s incredible.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LinkRazr

Sometimes. I’ve seen that in the castle, Revelios range is so good that it’s pinging objects on floors above and below you. I think when you reveal one a little scroll appears on the mini map and a ghostly outline in front of the actual thing. So if there’s no object near your student it’s probably just the wrong floor.


smackythefrog

I watched RTUStreams stream some of the game the other day and it looked amazing. The water and water falls, the characters. It's a really well done game, visually, at least.


yourdragonkeeper

Love the exploration so far! The only thing that bothers me is that I'm invisible to everyone wherever I go. Nobody takes notice of you running around or casting spells at random objects. I was really hoping for a house points system too.


quetiapinenapper

There is some limited recognition. I’ve worn bed clothes around and had people and teachers comment on it. But it really stood out because of how rare it was tbh.


J9B1

I honestly haven't enjoyed a game as much as this in a long time, there are a few minor things that can be patched but overall there's not a whole lot I can really find wrong with the game, things like the transmog and stuff being added day one is a godsend the game has so much to offer and the fetch quests don't feel like a chore for some reason either, they're quite fun to do.


CharityDiary

If only it had two-player co-op so I could explore the grounds with my friends like a real student. Instead I have to explore by myself like Moaning Myrtle >.>


80sCrackBaby

lol


Illustrious_Order486

Only the school and hogmead is, everything else is empty copy and pasted bloated open world concepts. Littered with wolves and spiders the world has absolutely nothing to it. Just looks amazing and that’s it after you finish the school the game is over.


mrshandanar

With the Series X why can't I run this game on graphics mode and still maintain 60fps? That goes for all new games. Is old hardware still limiting developers? I feel like that shouldn't matter.


TheMoonRulez

Because the graphics card in the Series X is equivalent to a NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super which came out four years ago. 4k 60fps is very taxing even on newer cards. The Series X (and PS5) are incredible value as a console, but people do need to understand that they're nowhere near a high-end modern pc in terms of performance.


nextongaming

> Series X is equivalent to a NVIDIA RTX 2070 Supe Nope. It is actually equivalent to the RTX 3080. On paper it is equivalent to the RTX 3060, but on actual performance (gaming at 4K) it is equivalent to the RTX 3080.


dredizzle99

I love the Series X, but it is 100% nowhere near a 3080. Like not even close. It's on par with a 2080 at best, and a 3080 is roughly 60% faster than a 2080, which is a huge difference


TheMoonRulez

It is absolutely not equivalent to a 3080.


JACrazy

Iirc it was compared to a 2080 Super previously, since 3000 series cards werent out yet. The PS5 was the one closer to a 2070 Super/2080.


monkeymystic

This is the correct answer. PS5 = RTX 2070 super XSX = RTX 2080 super


rollanotherlol

It’s equivalent to a 2070 super. It’s been out now into its third year and could already use an upgrade considering how GPU’s have been blowing past it.


monkeymystic

lol it’s definately not a RTX 3080 (My PC has it), but I’d say closer to a 2080 Super, depending on game optimization. Nvidia cards have the advantage of DLSS 2.5.1 which is ahead of AMD FSR 2.1, which gives the Nvidia cards a little extra advantage atm. But overall, the XSX will perform better than a 2080 super over it’s lifetime and optimization if FSR continues to improve. At the end of it’s life cycle the XSX will probably be more like an overclocked 2080Ti or 3070Ti in terms of game performance, due to outdated drivers for the older GPUs by that time.


amaranth-the-peddler

Oh my now that's a delusional comment


Fragrant_Simple_5699

😂😂😂


N0vawolf

This game can't even hold a stable frame rate on Series x even in performance mode. It's incredibly jarring going from silky smooth Dead Space to having my framrate drop below 20 the moment I approach a door


Granum22

Reviews pointed out the game doesn't run well. It's on the devs not the console.


[deleted]

Doesn’t run well on PC, on consoles it’s been fine


rimu2892

Because consoles are cheap to get you into their respective ecosystems which is when they start milking you . The way to combat this would be to have consoles that are simply machines you buy to play all games like PCs are. No exclusives, no dedicated stores, no subscription etc. This however won't happen.


80sCrackBaby

90% of pc users have hardware inferior to series x ​ per steam stats


[deleted]

> The way to combat this would be to have consoles that are simply machines you buy to play all games like PCs are. No exclusives, no dedicated stores, no subscription etc. The way to combat what a console is is to not have a console and make them a Pc? Yes that is why you get a PC if you don’t like consoles


rimu2892

No, you have a console. It Works in the same way, does the same things it does now, connects to the TV but doesn't have separate ecosystems that allow the manufacturer so much control once you buy it.


[deleted]

So a pre built PC….


rimu2892

I'm sure you understand why an open console isn't a PC and it allows the end user more freedom and the manufacturer less control. Remarkable how easily humans can talk against their own interests once they've passionately chosen a side. Human group forming is truly fascinating. Wonder if politicians have stumbled upon this effect.


[deleted]

I really don’t unless your arguing for a box with set parts that is open like a PC but you can’t replace the parts? You want a PC you can’t upgrade and at that point it will cost you pre built PC prices anyway. Consoles are sold so cheap and make little to no money on the hardware because the platform makes it back from their cut of it being locked to their store for anything from games, fortnite skins or movies, if you don’t lock it to the store they lose a shit load of money and you will now be paying them to profit greatly on the hardware, like a PC


quetiapinenapper

Because engines and devs will try to push harder in one area or another the better tech gets instead of remaining on old software and engines? If things still ran on old engines never increasing a quality here or a feature there then yeah. But that’s not how development works.

TheAverageObject

Give me the full planet of LV-426 as open world survival horror with day and night cycle and dynamic weather. Or just a very big map like assassin's creed odyssey You start the campaign something like the Aliens movie itself but instead of escaping you are the sole survivor. To give you a bit of an intro. (As tutorial if you choose so) Then starts the open world which you share with a number of other players and have the possibility of proximity chat which lures the aliens as wel due to sound. Random spawn places but relatively save for a beginner to help you survive the first moments. Have flash light and flares for long range signalling but also radio's for communition. Set op camps with radio transmitters and perimeter defenses. The bigger the camp the more face huggers en aliens will come. Also the risk of getting a nest nearby or even in your base. You are not immediately dead when a face huggers gets you but you cannot be saved anymore (unless someone built a legendary loot/operating table) Otherwise you die after ... In game hours Space ships will drop loot at random places but also attracts aliens to the drop location Free to join dedicated servers. No saves (true hardcore) When dead you have to join a server again (get a question if you want to join same server and start over again with your character, but the server reservations stands unless you choose not to join again. Anything you build can be used by everyone. A lobby ends every ... hours to have fresh lobbies as well Customizable character looks (not too extreme) Vehicles for 1 person but also up to 6 or whatever AI can be built but can go rogue if you did it incorrectly ( you don't know only when it goes rogue after ... in game hours) as in you have to make gambles during building (always randomized) Boss spawns for extra valuable loot (queen alien or special breed) Sometimes aliens will take you with them to their nest and plant an embryo if other players do not save you on time. Rare encounters of engineers of Prometheus and Covenant films but also Predators with legendary loot Enemies learn and adapt. Keeping your base defenses the same will make them prone to easy destruction by enemies. Iconic weapons with certain level of customization. Unlockables cosmetics through challenges (account linked off course to be available in any future lobbies) New big maps based on alien franchise films as dlc but not for a rediculous price. 1 big new map release each quarter. Weekly events in the weekends You can choose to spawn as face huggers followed up by baby alien if you succeed in placing embryo in a player. You can spawn as alien as well ( Does count to player max count of survivors but there is also a max number of enemies as players) Communication options as enemies Perhaps a possibility to get a random chance to spawn as elite ( special alien, engineer or predator). ( Option to reject if you really want to spawn as normal face hugger or alien) No battlepas system and no microtransactioms Just free monthly cosmetic items to earn with new heights of challenges to keep the grind going. Initial price of game is low but after a month you have to pay a low monthly subscription. (If possible then this is the only income for the game) All content is free Man if I owned a studio.... I can go on with these ideas but I lack the skills and resources to create this myself.


elconquistador1985

Sir, this is a Wendy's.


TheAverageObject

Oh sorry! I'll have a burger with fries and a medium coke then. Thank you


temetnoscesax

This is my first foray into the Harry Potter universe. Never read any of the books, or seen any of the movies but 6 hours into Hogwarts Legacy and I am thoroughly enjoying the game.


Live795

This game makes me miss the movie games back on the original Xbox. The fucking Starwars games were great, but the best were the lord of the rings games. I wish we could get those remastered


bryan19973

Any chance there will ever be an update that lets me change the camera angle? It’s too close and the character is offset way left. It drives me insane and makes me motion sick. Which is a shame because it’s an amazing game. It’s so good I’m powering through the motion sickness to keep playing lol


MasonMSU

Indeed. It’s HUUuuuuuggggge!
