This is wild, I honestly thought I was watching a video with like 1-2 million views. Very well made video, keep up the amazing work👌
Thank you! I'm aiming for quality rather than quantity so this actually means a lot!
Nah fr
Damn, I only realized it wasn't after reading your comment. This guy has too many video-making skills to only have 400 subscribers
Would've never realized w/o your comment, pretty wild honestly
I didnt realise till you pointed it out
i wish sebastian’s storyline was the main one it was extremely well made
It was well made but I was so pissed off near the end there, wishing my character could muggle-punch him to bring his sanity back and to start listening to his friends and sister.
For me personally, Poppy's arc was the most enjoyable. She was lighthearted and actually listen to people's oppinion, and the ending with the snidget was really adorable. I hoped there would be a lot more of her quests.
@@aidanjanemcintosh6919 That's what Sebastian was though. He was meant to show how slippery a slope that is and to illustrate exactly how it is so many Slytherins turn out "bad." It wasn't about being evil, or causing harm. He was trying to save his sister and in pursuit of his ambition, lost sight of reality. Now you're seeing why Sebastian was a Slytherin and Poppy a Hufflepuff. Both examples you listed are their prime characteristic trait. Ambition, and drive for one, loyalty and compassion for the other
@@xiphos8219 really well said! that’s why his was my favorite it was very complex and made to make u feel many emotions
His story is a lot more interesting than the main story! Though there were so many times I wanted to just slap him across the face and say, "What the hell are you thinking?" His heart is in the right place. He just wants to help his sister, but he makes some really painfully stupid decisions.
@@aidanjanemcintosh6919 that will be me on my Gryffindor play through but I am slytherin on my first run and I am laughing maniacally like lord sidious “do it”
You make a good point about how Isidora should have been the final boss. Even if it was just her ghost, two ancient magic users would have made for a good final boss fight. Rather than the keepers killing her I think they should have sealed her inside the repository so Ranrok accidentally releases her and is possessed or she shows up after the Ranrok fight.
Talking to the guardians one said they´ve used Obliviate on her and were surprised that she wrote diaries... so I was surprised they stupidly killed her that way, i was kinda waiting she was alive still
Or you can join to Isidora and fight witaj her against hogwart teachers
@@kubixom nah...
@@sibeeriano Not on her, or Bragbor the smith that made the stuff to keep the traces of magic in. With her they just destroyed her portrait after her, of many other things they didn't know.
nice, skipped the spoiler part just to c it in the comments lmao
My biggest gripes with the game are
There should be several more class related quests and appropriate quest rewards. DotD should reward you with unlocking defensive spells, Charms should rewards you with unlocking charms, Herbology should reward you with unlocking each plant, and potions should reward you with unlocking each potion. It would add much more depth to the classes and also allow PC to decide which classes they want to pursue early on.
They need to liven up the world a bit more. Not necessarily more quests, but better reactions from NPCs as you go around.
I think the open world overall needs an improvement. Outside of hogwarts and hogsmede, it feels empty and bland, i remember learning that there were like 7 variations of the merlin trials and near 100 total. At this point i just stopped doing the side content.
@@SnakeEater776 "I think the open world overall needs an improvement. "
No shit sherlock. It needs a massive improvement. The NPCs sucks.
@@belinhobeli9569 ok? Dunno why your being pissy at someone who agrees with you.
Not just the NPCs though. The side quests mostly suck, the side activities suck the combat eventually starts to suck, the world looks the same no matter where you go, rewards suck and i could go on but im bored now.
My biggest problem was the overall writing and especially the way they approached the villains. The entire time I felt like Ranrok was just a scapegoat villain and once Isadora was shown to becoming more dark, I really really expected her to end up being the main villain (perhaps she was able to extend her lifespan with her ancient magic) and that would've been SO MUCH BETTER imo. She actually would've been a dangerous and interesting villain unlike the 2 nobodies and it would've opened up the option to join her and become full dark wizard, something else the game is missing. That would've made the game infinitely better imo.
I just wish I was younger so I could play. Unfortunately video games are for kids tho
Fr I thought you’d have some moral fork in the road choices but there was not one
It would have been so much better because the game makes explicit parallels between the player and Isadora, raising the question : will you choose to use your power like her, or will you choose to use your power like the other keepers did?
As it is, the game poses this question but doesn't actually let you choose at all.
It would have been so interesting for example if you got a choice to try and heal Anne based on what you saw in Isadora's memory. Alternatively, you may feel like there's a catch /information missing and refrain from using your powers on Anne.
@@mikanchan322 I mean based on the visions it would be kind of a dumb choice to heal Anne. We saw how Isidora’s dad turned out
I really wanna see a morality system be implemented in the second installment (assuming there is one). I think the story has so much potential but I really only saw myself drawn to Sebastian's quest line. It seemed to be the most immersive and the one with the least amount of "busy work" as I call it. But even with that, I think it's just a major flaw that we can learn the unforgivable curses AND use them with no consequence. Being able to make decisions that genuinely impact your story and its ending would make this game pretty perfect. Yeah, it would take more time, but I would've rather waited a couple more years and have this feature than still get this game when we did. And beyond that, I do wish the houses had more significant differences in story.
anyways, great video!
Yes, and certain quests open and close depending on how good or bad your character was, leading to a final battle at Hogwarts where you defend if you're good, or attack if you're bad, so people can sort of roleplay the Deathly Hollows, modders could swap the main villain for Voldemort, etc.
sebastian’s storyline was so well done, wish it wasn’t so short!! explained how Slytherins can turn bad because of their drive!
"Or perhaps in Slytherin, you'll make your real friends. Those cunning folk use ANY MEANS to achieve their ends."
Can you imagine a world without flupowder? Is there any place better than hogsmead? And I'm so impressed with all the potions you've brewed!
This castle has seen better days 👀
@@SoullusYT 😅👍
Abandoned long ago, no doubt...
@@klaram873 😅👍
Don't know how well I'd fare in a little place like this..
This is a great video. I know it’s dumb but with the hogsmeade flying restriction I imagined the townspeople making an anti flying barrier the way a lot of muggle towns banned skateboarding.
It's definitely just a gameplay thing, they probably didn't want you to fly onto the roofs for some reason
I think so too. Hogsmeade is a no fly zone for that reason. But could also be a technical reason. Hogsmeade is quite a dense area, with many assets. It takes awhile to load in, and I would say flying over it, would cause some issues with the game (imo). As annoying as it is, it's a good thing. I like the "banned skateboarding" sorta idea though.
Its a no fly area in the books too, if Im remembering righr.
Limitations around Hogsmeade are there because the village is a little bit too complicated to be loaded perfectly at once. So you have to take some time to walk to go there to allow the game to fully load everything in the viillage. That's why if you use the mod that removes that invisible wall you will also witness some LoD textures or models if you land directly in the center of the village.
Sounds like a PC problem, never had any issues with that on Series X
@@obi-wankenobi8446 No, you don't understand, there's a mod on PC that lets you land on a broom in Hogsmeade, which the game doesn't allow by default. But what he's describing is not on my PC so I guess if it's strong enough it can load it fast. Unfortunately taking off in Hogsmeade you can only do with minimap off, so it's not all that. Overall just the regular floo powder in and out is better. The best mod is legilimens that can tell you where you missed the collectible or a page, or a landing platform, no idea if it can help with xbox saves though.
can't just let us just think the devs are mean and purposely make their game worse because they're secretly evil.
@@obi-wankenobi8446 definitely not PC problem. he's got a potato just like that console of yours
I never dropped under 90 frames in hogsmead with a 6800xt on my pc. No problems here.
I do hope there will be a sequel to this game, it has so much potential to explore the rich world of Harry Potter much further that HL did. I would love to see some meaningfull loot... loot with a story of its own.. discovering ancient relics that one could use. Hunting for deathly hallows.. or something simillar. My biggest issue with this RPG is that there are 0 consequences for your actions, even for practising dark arts, choosing "the evil" ending makes no difference. You are still a bright and brilliant boy/girl to everyone, no mather what you do in the game... there is always that innocent bright smile on your face all the time. And the story is very simple and lacks built up... like for example questioning keepers methods when they clearly murdered Isidora.
Do you mean DLC? A sequel to this game would be exactly the same map
There will be, it sold very well
I think that Ravenclaw's Relic Robe is the most epic out of the four.
You didn’t talk enough about how cool the scavenger hunting is in the castle! And how it’s packed with secrets to find! I love it
I found myself using the broom more often in the game because it was not only faster to fly but also quicker to land compared to riding beasts. With the broom, I could avoid waiting for long animations, which made exploring the magical world much more enjoyable. However, I must admit, the graphorn was an absolute standout! It was a unique and fascinating experience, almost like being an invisible rampager as I soared through the game. Overall, the game's mix of flying on a broom and encountering creatures like the graphorn made it an unforgettable adventure!
I was literally thinking recently about why you can't use the broom in Hogesmeade, and I would say that the restriction is simply so that your revelio spell won't be as powerful as it could. Since you can't jump in your broom inside the town, revelio's range won't be as powerful, making you actually need to walk through the city in order to find the collectables and stuff.
If you fly right outside the barrier and use revelio, you can actually see where the some of the stuff is hidden. Though, it's not that much, mostly just the exact basement locations.
That’s dumb
One of the best things is how most of the side quests, and ambient dialogue, all add onto the main story.
Just stumbled across your channel and its insane how well-made this video is, big props. Definitely earned a sub.
Thank you so much! This means a lot!
yeah truly awesome
@@SoullusYT same story here, that was great!
Insanely professional! You got talent for RUclips! Go for it!
The fight scene with big dikus had me crying laughing! Great video dude!
The flying restriction makes sense story wise. No dark wizard is able to enter however they please and students are prevented from making chaos.
Such a great job on this video, the story telling, b-roll, background notes, and the editing!! Very very good job!!!
I was really let down by the final fight against Ranrok. But the fight against Rookwood was one of my favorites of all time.
I didnt get to experience that very well just bc I used avada kadavra on him immediately 💀
Excellent video. Love the dry humour and the paving (edit: pacing) is great: content is covered quickly without any boring bits. Unlike many such videos I never felt it dragged. Great work, liked and subbed
I love when people pave their videos. Too many people rely on simple dirt tracks these days.
@@tinyfreckle Hahaha! Should be "pacing", bloody autocorrect
I see the flying restriction on Hogsmeade as pretty reasonable.
Think about it, it's a town just outside a school full of hundreds of students, of course they don't want them all flying their brooms through narrow streets and knocking people over all the time.
I also feel like the time limit on potions, plants and beast materials makes a lot of sense. Those things realistically take time to complete and having a time limit makes them more valuable. It's not enough of a challenge if you can just have every potion and plant instantly.
That's absolutely true, I replied to someone in regards to this but it probably got lost with the rest of the comments :/
I just wish it was more of a mini-game, kinda like the Half Blood Prince videogame where you actually have to brew it yourself and mix the ingredients. It would just have been more fun I suppose
@@SoullusYT totally, i was disappointed that potion brewing wasn't more interactive.
@@SoullusYT instead of alohomora being the mini game it should've been potion making! and i feel like they could've done something more fun with herbology instead (saying all this as someone who still loved the game!)
@@SoullusYT I agree. The potions aspect was lazy from the devs. Felt like a mobile game where you had to wait and come back in that aspect.
and still OUR character is the only person, not student but PERSON, flying around at all. that's weird
This is SUCH a well made video. And great animation, commentary, and clips. Subscribed.
What i couldn't understand is why Sebastian's story wasn't the main story. It would have been more engaging keeping the story focused on the kids and their deeds or misdeeds.
I just came across your video, and I thought you had at least 1 million subs. Great video. I love the content, it's very well structured unlike many of the other videos I watch where they are not well structured and very boring. I never felt bored in this video and I love the humor! Liked and subbed!
Eh, you can easily set up the room of requirement very efficiently, to the point that you never need to wait for potions and plants and produce them en masse just for fun. As for animal rooms, it would be nice to see automated brushing option added because it does become a chore by the end of the game
Can't believe I subbed to a future youtube legend before they even hit 1k subs, you're going to go so far.
Crazy quality for such a small channel!
You got yourself a new sub 🎉
You start as a fifth year because of you listen carefully in the story is that people who see and can use ancient magic start as a fifth year also known as a late bloomer.
But I guess it’s not always the case since dumbledore can technically see ancient magic. He can see hidden traces like we noticed in the half blood prince book in the cave. But that also could just be him noticing traces of dark magic. However, the power of love is a form of ancient magic which includes power of sacrificial defense like we saw from Lily and later Harry.
So they were squibs before 5th year?
@@vanshagarwal2362 yeah there isn’t any notice of anything about ancient magic in the books or in the movies.
@@iamjstew___4473 I remember in the GoF movie Voldemort mentions Lily’s sacrifice as “that was old magic”. Kind of implying the power of ancient magic as he said it with fear and disgust.
@@LovelyLizy that’s where the game doesn’t really explain too well. Squib isn’t the right word because that means no magical ability at all despite magical lineage. Remember the young Isidora could see the magic but perhaps just wasn’t giving off enough magical signals to actually go to hogwarts as a first year. Percival and our character aren’t explained that well about what happened before attending hogwarts as a fifth year. Could they see magic at all or no?
The no flying a lore thing. Hogsmead doesn't want a bunch of teens zooming around and crashing into stuff on their brooms, so there's a barrier.
The same reason the Whomping Willow isn't in the game- it wasn't planted until the 70's.
Dude for real. This video is amazing! I didn't even consider playing the game, but now i'm pretty intrigued! You should lower the bass on your voiceover though, but other than audio issues, the script is great on this one!
I've also around 100h in Legacy and your conclusion is really accurate. Your edeting is on a really high level. Besides the animationwith the frog is really iconic and cute. Hope to watch more
Great video style! I like it :D I've played about 60 hours now and I feel the same way as you. What I miss is a morality system. I hope that will be an issue in next parts or in DLCs, so that there are appropriate consequences if you use the unforgivables for example. The main story didn't pick me up as much as the story about Sebastian's sister; nevertheless, I found it quite good for a start. Maybe on another occasion we'll meet a wizard in the format of Voldemort or Grindelwald - or we'll find out about our back story in a DLC? There are so many possibilities where to start! I think that's especially great in Hogwarts Legacy.
Since launch I’ve been playing with the mini map and spell HUD off, now I can truly get around with ease and it’s fun to remember where I slot my spells (kinda funny if I mess up due to timing cooldowns lol)
ha, I also turned off the mini map and like you said, after a while its really easy to find one's way in Hogwarts :) I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! I noticed a lot of the details inside Hogwarts because I was looking at my surroundings all the time to figure out where I needed to go.
And you find tons of the "book pages" (sry, not quite sure what they were called in english) without even trying. I guess there are so many that you find tons anyway, but still :D
This is such a high quality video, I love your sense of humour.
Keep it up you’ve got such a good video style to attract views!
I actually agree with the plant wait times, as it incentives you to build more tables, so that you can charge up big time when you get to the room
agreed but the times are a bit to long i think
I just rolled over 100 hours and I have to say after my second playthrough I would give the game a solid 8.5/10. Nothing groundbreaking, but a really fun a well put together game. It really felt like I was playing a mashup of all the good games out there, lots of zelda and half life 2 esque puzzles, dark souls type combat, world of warcraft type gear and leveling, skyrim type quests, lots of crysis type elements including graphics, far cry esque enviroments it's all perfect. Great video
Dang I was expecting this channel to half at least a half million subs or something, great video man keep it up
a very well paced video with tons of useful information. thank you very much brotha, keep this channel going, i hope it'll grow!
I loved the main story. I thought it was fascinating.
But I REALLY loved the fact that our character has no backstory. Four of us are playing, and we each made up different things about who our character was. It would have been annoying to all have to play the same person.
I do agree that backstories for Rookwood and Harlow, giving more idea of who they are and why they do what they do would have been nice. I thought we would find out the connection between the two Rookwoods and how Charles Rookwood's diary or notes led to the current Rookwood's participation in this issue.
I think the flying mounts were harder to get to go than the broom. But I loved the fact that the easiest way to get down from a high place was the Lord of the Shore. He could leap down distances that would have killed my character, and there was no complicated maneuvering to landing.
I agree about the flying limitations. I wanted to fly around inside the school! :-)
With those 2 its the usual. Money and power. Not much is needed to understand them, think Putin/Prigozhin combo there. A smart power hungry jerk, and a thug with him. What they really needed was prof Weasley not giving the same exact speech at the end. And way more endings of the main arcs. They didn't prioritize what to record and animate. IMO they had money and time, but got too distracted by too much side stuff. As far as the mounts go, read the books not the films. They are as Harry saw them in the books. Way less control. I thought it was good to do overall. Spoilers lower.
They needed true RPG choices like AC Odyssey, Witcher 3, or insert the name. Fig saved, Sebastian persuaded, maybe even using the ancient magic to heal Anne if I chose to release. It's a shame they wasted on a lot of unimportant things, and ignored the main story not being a movie. But neither Batman nor Shadow of Mordor is an RPG, so they're really new to it all. This is more than those 2, but still kinda is like those 2. Solid action/adventure games with RPG elements, should have been much more...
@@dodesskiy1 I agree. I think they underestimated how much the audience would want the roleplaying aspect.
@@l.jagilamplighterwright9211This is the problem. They should've made the dialog more linear instead of making us feel like our choices would matter, when they don't at all, that way people wouldn't have gotten their hopes up.
Agreed
This game is so good it makes me forget to do simple things like eat. My first playthrough I’m Slytherin, on my next playthrough I’m gonna be a Gryfinndor. Really in my opinion those are the two most important houses to the lore. On my Gryfinndor playthrough, I’m gonna try to play it completely opposite (not learn any unforgivable curses etc). Also you can’t fly in the towns, because in lore broomstick travel was banned in civilizations because of the danger factor.
They are important due to JK Rowling favoritism where she had Gryffindor as good guys, Slytherins as the bad guys and then some kind Hufflepuffs and smart Ravenclaws but they dont matter so who cares about those kind of thinking.
Yea I’m still at the beginning stage lol due to work and now all these games are coming out I hope I can finish this game haha. I do want to re play this time using the curses
@@jeangrey2788 It’s so good bro.
subbed. keep with the animation style. amazing content and i genuinely felt like i was watching a video with millions of views. keep up the great quality man. funny as hell too, loved the posters behind the animation especially
you made a really engaging video. its very well laid out and i watched it all. i couldnt do that, so good job there!
Honestly thought this was a super popular channel, really a great quality vid. You earned yourself a sub. Keep it up!
Thank you!! I appreciate it a lot 🙏
There are so many great things about this game. I get lost exploring so easily, I've played 60 hours and I haven't done the third trial yet :'D it's on my to do! It's just I get side tracked all the time. The biggest annoyance that I feel could have been fixed easily is that the gear loot is random. The chests that are hardest to get to should have something other than green silver-rimmed glasses (again!).
The story of this game is sooooo boring… I quit halfway through.
@@bobbyfischer9927 It's an open world RPG, you can basically make the story about whatever you want, or at least focus on whatever you want, and at some point progress the story as well. If you're bored, maybe you lack imagination ;D I've played 60hrs and not done the third trial yet so I'm having a blast.
I honestly expected you to have a few hundred thousand subs such a well made video great job you have earned a sub.
man! killer review, fair, honest, good description, impartial and good animation an editing!
The flying restriction in hogwarts is actually canonical (you can't enter the castle on a broom, but you can use your broom on school grounds and the quidditch pitch) dunno about the hogsmeade one though, they probably thought that they can't have students flying around on the streets knocking stuff over and generally making a mess
its a game not cannon to the books or movies this is just a bs move in their part to milk us for the next game
One of the best games ive ever played. And im not the biggest potter fan by any means, I enjoyed the movies as a kid, found myself wanting to re watch the movies as I got farther in the game… Good stuff all around 10/10
I'm also another dude who randomly came across ur video and thought u were a million+ follower channel.
PLEASE keep using the frog animation, i kept smiling whenever he was on, and the video was also a great watch!
Looking forward to more 👌
yooooo the editing and narration of this video is unbelievably talented. You deserve more subscribers!
***SPOILERISH***
Sebastian’s story was the best and most frustrating. How does a relic that powerful crumble so easily? What curse was used on Anne and why was it incurable? Why did Isadoras Magic go so badly? Like it seemed to work and then she kept using it every little pain… idk.
Honestly if they came out with a Hogwarts 2, gotta say I'd wait for a sale. I was hyped for this game, picked it up day 1 and was so engrossed in the story for the first 50% of it. Once you sort of reach that halfway mark you start getting the feeling that all these characters they introduced will have absolutely nothing to do with the story. A Prof. Weasley heel-turn would have been cool, more involvement from Headmaster Black in general.
It felt like they tried to set up so much, but in the end it's just you 1v1 with Ranrock. I thought the game would have more replay value maybe trying it out in a different house or something, but honestly couldn't be bothered especially after collecting all those statues for the alohomora upgrades.
I like that you speak fast when reviewing it keeps my attention lol. great vid
Hey man, I enjoyed you video you did a really good job on describing it and had some good jokes in there to keep it from going dry. Just wanted to give shout out to your video
I loved the game. The immersion you feel exploring Hogwarts castle alone makes the game worth buying. The amount of detail that's in the graphics and animations there is perhaps the most impressive I've ever seen. The story and side quests aren't excellent but I would say they are above average. For a sequel, the biggest things I would want to see is a stronger focus on the immersive aspects of being a student. I would like to get more interactive dialogue options with random students, more interesting unique things or discoverable quests happening with students hanging out in the house common rooms or at night. Really flesh out how the different houses interact with the player and create some sort of friendship/enemy system depending on how you interact with students. Let us sort of pick a group of friends that can follow us around the castle and give them unique dialogue interactions or unlock certain things that you discover exploring the castle Also a more involved classroom curriculum. All of the interactive classroom scenes we got were lots of fun they just need to do much more of them throughout the seasons. And finally, like you said a stronger main story with more focus on the decisions you made throughout the game offering a variety in how the story ends. Of course I would always be happy to see new and interesting spells with more elaborate skill trees. I also agree they need to add opportunities for very challenging combat and maybe give them some cool unique rewards. If they could add more voice options to the characters and more character customization that would also help quite a bit in creating a character you feel like you can relate to. To sum up, if they could just emphasize the student aspects with a more focused, engaged story and role playing experience the game would be so much stronger. The foundation they established with the castle alone will take this game series unbelievably far, I hope they don't mess this up. I think a Hogwarts legacy 2 could be ripe for a Triwizard Cup narrative.
I couldn’t enjoy this game. Dialogue options were limited and had no impact. The protagonist is too good at everything. Side content is too repetitive. Combat was good but not great. Classes and interactions were mostly too childish. Equipment system should not exist imo. Actions had no consequences, curses were pretty much forgivable. I wanted to like this game so much but it just wasnt for me.
I stopped playing for a while and started up on a new save with a new house and it holds up in terms of replay value way more than I thought. On first play though I actually thought the world felt a bit small. On second playthrough not being so cortical and analyzing everything, it’s much more fun. The forbidden forest alone is more massive that I originally perceived.
This game's world construction reminds me of the Witcher 3. You can walk to so many places, hear so much dialogue, and see so many details that it keeps you enamored with the world you're in.
Of course, the Witcher 3 had much better consequences for your actions, and the bosses were wild. I'm only 5 hours into Hogwarts Legacy so I can't say much besides what I've heard as heresy. I'm loving it so far though.
Nothing has topped Hogwarts legacy for me in this year. It's truly exceptional creation for potter fan & it will actually get new audience into Potter's world
This is wild, I honestly thought I was watching a video with like 10-20 million views. Very well made video, keep up the amazing work
dude, you are so talented. Your channel will grow in no time. subbing right now
It really is one of the top games I ever played alongside Last of Us, Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War. I enjoyed my entire gameplay from start to finish.
Skyrim!
this game isnt even close to that level, its more of a Fallout 76, as in shallow and incomplete
@@cooltwittertag That's why I said "one of the top games *I* ever played." Not yours.
I think there is so much more they can do with combat, for example New spells: We should learn reducto which would be a more powerful Bombarda that curses but has a larger cooldown, silencio (stops enemies from attacking), an upgrade for nonverbal spells in case an enemy uses silencio on us, we could have impedimenta it could function as a spell that knocks the enemy down dealing damage and stops them from moving for a little bit. With an upgrade it could inflict a curse. We could have alarte ascendare or ascendio to launch enemies in the air, we could use the bat-bogey hex to temporarily stun enemy’s and it could have an upgrade that makes them cursed. We could have apparition to teleport around the battlefield and set up combos, it’d be sick to just appeared out of nowhere and take out a poached with ancient magic. We could have confundo that could be like a weaker imperio but it automatically curses enemies who are are struck by their allies and has a shorter cooldown. We could use the conjunctivitis curse to stop enemies from seeing while dealing damage or just obscuro if we need to take some heat off. Immobolus, locomotor morris,and incarcerous as control spells that temporarily stop targets. Legilimens to see a targets weakness and use the according spell to do extra damage. We could have obliviate to stop one enemy from attacking all together and has a large cooldown. And I saved the best for last expecto patronum could charge down enemies as an instant kill but cannot be used in conjunction with dark spells, would have a large cooldown but less than avada kedavra. Then we could also have fiendfyre which could instantly take out inferi and deal massive damage to groups of enemies cursing all off them, then you could avada kedavra and take them all out. Also we need more difficulty scaling, by the time you’ve reached the end of the game after collecting and side quests your gear is so high level and with insane perks and combat becomes a breeze. Perhaps a new difficulty mode is required where enemies are far more aggressive and will use unforgivable curses on you which you have to dodge. That would make it so that even if you can take them out fast you have to have fast reflexes and time your attacks and blocks well. And then of course if we had more arena’s with increasing difficulty it could allow players to really test their skills.
Alright mate
Guy wrote an essay over a harry potter game 😂😂😂
@@kanekennedy8819 sorry but what did you think the video you just watched was?
Not reading allat..
@@Charlesssssss never asked you to
Just randomly found this video, dude you're funny af lol Subscribed.
With the animation quality, how do you only have 1.7K subscribers??? Subbed!
Good realistic review, pointing out (some) of the flaws. It really is a mixed bag.
Spoiler alert: The Merlin trials were such a disappointment! Using a great name like Merlin and use it for..... gear slot expansion?? For real? I expected at least a half decent story line there but nope..... nothing. Got the annoying cinematic instead that you can't skip while under attack.....
I think if you save up for the nice potions station and biggest potting tables, you really shouldn’t ever run out of plants. You get a decent amount of each whenever you collect most of the plants, even without fertilizer. And potions rlly don’t take that long. Most of the time by the time ur done filling all the pots (with the big T shaped tables) your first potion is done or close. The worst thing for me is keeping up with animal parts, like the tongues.
I would also have loved more flying related challenges, and for there to be an option to change the control scheme on controller: Left joystick for all axes of movement, right joystick for all axes of camera
Tough RC start. Definitely still a fun start regardless. I’m 110hr deep as of 2 1/2 weeks ago as a gryffindor. A ton of after-story gameplay available than I originally thought there would be. Running a 3080 I originally believed I would be able to run Unlimited settings, but the game overheated and crashed multiple times over so ended up returning to the “High” setting which were still gorgeous on a 32” 4k display
I love how you can wear the best clothes stats wise but have it look like you're wearing the best looking clothes. I find myself pulled out of the role playing elements when i have to wear something goofy looking in order to have better stats.
Damn bro you could have just pressed “change appearance” (square on PlayStation) when hovering over the specific gear you wanted to change
@@AB-rl2ge yeah i know thats what i said i liked about ut
The story for me did it's job, I liked Rockwood, more because his descendants also ended up shitty dark wizards in the Harry Potter story, but beyond that it pushed things along until the next part of Sebastion and Poppy's questlines came around, Natty's was also really fun, but the most forgettable of the three, not to mention Poppy is just absolutely adorable. Hogwarts Legacy did it's job wonderfully, it wasn't anything revolutionary, but it didn't need to be. Not every game needs to push the limits. It set the groundwork for a potential sequel, and I can't wait to see what comes next.
I really wouldn't mind just a more school sim like game for the 6th year of our HL characters, where the focus is more squarely on the classes and relationship quests of your classmates, then some world shattering quest, maybe some like school drama like main story to keep time moving forward, something maybe akin to Bully.
School drama? Noooooooooo! I need more dragons and exciting main story. Maybe a couple school drama side quests. I'd like to see Potions done like old Pottermore where you had to actually put 3 drops of this or that and stir clockwise then heat etc...In Pottermore if you overheated you could explode your pot, then ya had to go buy a new one. In that way classes would be more fun. Selling potions or trading or both with students would be cool too.
wow amazing video, you read my mind haha, very good put together thoughts, love the animation moement and little jokes. well done sir! wish you all the luck!
How can it be that you only got 1000 subs?! Amazing Work, loved the video :)
It was a lot shorter than I was expecting. I did all side quests and all main quests in 33 hours and had 95% completion on field guide pages, and 73% completion on challenges.
And about 15 of those hours I spent doing other side content like Merlin trials, stargazing, camp clearing, unlocking most chests and collecting 25 + demiguise statues, etc.
Even if I went back in and did the rest of the side content, there’s only about 50 hours of content max for a 1st run through.
Getting beasts and breeding takes considerable time if you get into it. I did and got really sidetracked trying to get shiny beasts lol I think I'm on hour 80 now and still not done with quests or main story. Have only gotten one of the three Unforgiveables to give you an idea.
Then you are extremely fast. I don't think collecting 95 percent of field guide pages in 33 hours is realistic for most without rushing like a maniac 😂
Great job on the video. I think they ultimately didn't fill in the backstory so you could let your character be whoever you wanted them to be. However, I agree that some explanation about why you're coming in as a 5th year would've helped flesh things out.
Real good video - Been looking for a good Hogwarts Review that broke down the problems that I had with it - Well done man!
This video was so well made! Subscribed
Well, I have 247 hours in on this game and I just saw the giant squid for the first time. I'm on my third play through. I agree with you that I'm not sure why you can't fly over Hogsmeade.
Jesus Christ 250 hours ? What are u doing If I may ask? I was 100% done @ 50 hours …
@@Fruza21 LOL! Probably letting the game idle while I listen to my wife complain.
@@Valicroix no wonder shes complaining...
Doesn’t it get boring? I mean all the houses are the same story except for one quest
@@kanekennedy8819 Actually I must have misread the hours on Steam. It was probably 147 hours.
Hey, we've been married 50 years. If she put up with me that long what's a hundred hours or so here or there?
they explained why you come as a 5th year you just have to pay attention. it is revealed in the flashbacks that percival and isodora both came to hogwarts at 15 as well, which means its your ability for ancient magic that causes the book of admittence to send your hogwarts owl at 15 because you would just be too powerful too soon and would get bored if you came earlier. just my theory tho
The real reason is this was a testbed for a sequel for the full Hogwarts experience. Because the game sold Gangbusters, Ubisoft will be given the rights to sell a Hogwarts game that sees you through first year to graduation. Maybe it'll be online or subscription to make even more money.
Yeah I found that in-game explanation completely lacking. Apparently all ancient magic users start learning at 15. But why wait until 15? Are they not able to perform magic before that? If yes, why not come up with a reason and explain in the pensieve memories. Instead they just give no reason at all.
Also to your point "too powerful too soon and would get bored if you came earlier": wouldn't that just mean graduating early if we apply real life principles or skipping a grade or two.
I mean it's obvious that the player needed to be a new student at an appropriate age. New enough that they had to learn everything from scratch but old enough that it wasn't unreasonable for them to go out and fight. I just wish that they would have come up with a more detailed backstory for the ancient magic.
Awesome video man. You deserve like millions of views for this kind of video. Keep up the good work man. Best of luck!
Honestly i like the game like 7/10 probably and thats overlooking the bugs and glitches, but combat got sooo boring and im not even maxed level everything feels too repetitive, merlin trials are the same 4 or 5 simple trials, theres only like 7 types of enemies and just everything is so idk tedious, the most fun part like you mentioned is definitely the flight challenges and adding in actual racing in a multiplayer mode or even single player racing would be sick but its still easy asf to beat the times and then i just get to pop balloons which again repetitive…also…i wanna change the controls and still cant block with L1 soo ya
Yep, combat was waaay too easy. More enemy types, attacks or a harder difficulty mode would be much appreciated. Fights were so easy I would intentionally toy with the enemies just to extend the duration.
@@incurabletrickster1191 I think if they changed up how the spells functioned (especially tweaked the talent trees) itd add more strategy than just break shield, use a dmg multiplier spell like glacius and nuke nuke nuke…like basic cast could have a heavy cast and charged attack, avada kedavra is fine i love it but it is cheap especially with the talent, if it used up a magic meter bar then i think thatd even it out, speaking of that i want to choose which ancient magic i use and that could have talents all on its own, theres no spells that have proc properties or instant cd refresh. Theres room for a hundred more spells…sectumsempra would be awesome especially for those who choose to not learn crucio but snape made it so itd break the timeline:/. Theres only fire elemental damage, but they dont do extra damage to frozen enemies, theres no shock spells, ancient magic throw is busted because s, expulso and reducto other npc’s use we dont get that. And yeah the map is too damn big for dark wizards, goblins, mongrels, spiders, dungbogs and trolls…for an action rpg thats not anywhere near a decent # of enemy types. You cant even hit lvl cap till after the main story and complete EVERYTHING so what is that final talent point for…that being said i want to change to the controls and ill be happier lol
Like many have pointed out. Insane quality on the video! Also agree with most of what you have pointed out :)
My biggest problem with Hogwarts Legacy is the wast amount of useless loot. Especially when you beat bosses or solve harder puzzles and it only drop some bad green downgrade. I Never got excited when i got better gear either.
Alsto, in my opinion, alohomora was fun the first 10 times and after that got tedious.
Loved the sarcastic signs in the background......'Hermione settled for Ron' too funny.
Awesome video keep up the great work, definitely subscribed
I’d give the game a 7.5/10.
-should have been more of a role playing game with consequences/better story
- Combat is very good (Altho a bit assassins creedy)
- scenery/locations are beautiful if not perfect.
- characters are well done but not enough depth.
- items look okay but there’s only like 3/4 different pieces of clothing overall for each slot so it gets repetitive.
- I like all the extra curricular aspects such as beasts, requirement room etc but needs quidditch DLC.
Def recommend but can’t see myself do another play through.
Nice vid tho, you’ve earned a sub 👌🏼
Agreed. Definitely needs a morality system like in mass effect. Dark magic should have consequences. And more RPG elements like different skills only available to certain houses and different wands having advantages and weaknesses.
@@airsicklowlandr yeah for sure 👌🏼
Just found your channel bub and the unique animation is why I stayed.
Thank you! Just trying stuff out, glad you enjoyed 👊🏻
Damn. This guy needs more reach. Very nice video, it shocked me when I found out you only have 400+ subscribers. Definitely needs a subscribe by how well put together the video is.
love the kira reference, great vid
But that hole on your character story before hogwarts it’s up to you to fulfill, and that’s the fun part about character creation. You can create the past lore that you wish and determine their future up to that.
Your channel will blow up if you keep on making game reviews like this with no mediocre videos inbetween. Like you said, quality over quantity. Good luck lil bro
Thank you bro!
I like your video review, I can tell that you've putting some hard work innit, subscribed!
this video is so well made, jesus christ. should hit 500 k in 3-4 weeks hopfully and 1 mil later this year
One big problem that I had is that it feels like the world is made around you instead of you being placed in the world. It feels kind of fake when everyone likes you immediately.
90% of the characters in this universe are nice to each other. They didn't have a world war 2, muggles know that magic exists thanks to their magical children every so often. Life is pretty great outside of the few decades when Tom riddle/Voldemort was rumored to exist and maybe Grindelwald.
I also chose Ravenclaw and I had no idea they got hate. Ik it's fiction, but I've always felt I'd be Ravenclaw 😅 one of my few gripes with this game is how your character's dialogue options are pretty limited. It's usually either "you are stunning and brave for what you did" or "why would you do something so dangerous?" Something along those lines. Idk just feels bland. And finally 6:00 had me laughing so hard with the Light laughter and Doom music 😂
It's not that they get hate. People say it's the worst because none of your companions are in it and it has the least unique content associated with it.
wait what, I thought you have a million subs. After watching the video I was shocked to see you are such a small RUclipsr. Insane quality man!
Great video bro! Insane quality
this game has too many puzzles too little combat
Gotta say I disagree. Game is as deep as a kiddy pool and so repetitive. I got bored after 30 hours, didn't even finish it. I commend you for putting 100+ hours in this.
100% agree. For the record, the game doesn’t get any better at the 70 hour mark. You saved yourself a lot of time and didn’t miss much not completing it.
I can say the same about Starfield. Starts off good 1h in. But then just feels like the devs just copied and pasted the next 99h. I wish WB took more inspiration from RPGs like Monster Hunter and what makes that game so playable after hundreds of hours. It's a hard thing to nail
I mean that's literally any rpg game lmao
For most RPG games I would agree but something clicked for my with Hogwarts Legacy. I put 80 hours into it and got 100% everything.
Normally I get bored with rpg games. Skyrim, StarField etc… they just don’t click with me.
I wanted to gouge out my fucking eyes by the time i reached the middle of the game now im stuck with this dogshit bottom of the barrel gold tinned excrement
ya im subbing you more than deserve it. that review was dope.
