I'm very much in the camp of not everything needs to be multiplayer. When i play a videogame I want to turn my brain off and escape from it all. Plus there is always those that want to ruin your game. Always. So I think it was a bold move to keep in single player. But also means they focused on making the game fun instead of getting a feature checkmark. If they decide to do DLC down the road that is co--op I'd be welcome to the idea. But none of that mmo stuff.
Yeah, like Burbo said offline mode exists in just about every title i can think of unless its one of those scummy f2p games. Your point is completely valid and if you want to play alone that's fine, it's just your logic is a bit flawed for why it shouldn't be a multiplayer experience..

The _Seamless Co-op Mod_ for Elden Ring proves how a great way to add multiplayer could work. The *host* decides if others are allowed to join them or even if PVP is on. When someone fast travels to a lost grace a vote is taken and timeouts if it fails to pass.
I'm pretty happy with the game being single player. I enjoy experiencing a good story, interacting with NPCs, and being immersed in a lived-in virtual world (I hope the game is all of this). That said, in the future, I wouldn't mind a MMO based on the Wizarding World! In fact, I find the idea pretty exciting. If done well, it could be a very popular game
I mean they could actually do how they have done GTAV keep the solo single player, and then add in multiplayer assets on a separate space, which would work really well and also it would save server space too and give people the option to join people in an online mode or a solo mode
But they won’t because they are actually retarded. Like it’s unfathomable that the game devs do not understand marketing their only marketing is Harry Potter which Carrie’s them. But all multiplayer games outgross any other games. It’s completely foolish they don’t have multiplayer options early on, the amount of side arcade games they could have added. I’m Not getting this game purely because it’s not multiplayer, they could have sold millions of more copies stupid developers heads stuck in every Harry Potter book can’t even see the elephant in the room.
They could have added it...they were just being lazy expected please to just accept a single player experience. GTA is still the best to this day because of the multiplayer lobbies
I think further down the line, they could add a hub area where you could just chat with other HP fans and show off your character to friends, etc. I'm sure there'd be a big demand for a quidditch DLC too
What you say between 00:35 and 01:10 is the reason I no longer play MMO's or multiplayer. That and the fact I'm getting older, I have other priorities and MMO's most of the time "requires" you to be online for at least a couple of hours every day to do all the dailys and similar events that usually comes with MMO games.
Same here, if it was a couple only it would be alright, but every MMO requires it to be basically another job unless you pay for boosts and/or buy items and other stuffs :P
Plus there's "special" events with "limited time rewards" half the damned year in some games. Some foolishly try to force players into activities they don't and will never enjoy. And any MMO patch can turn a game you enjoy into one you hate, with all your time, effort and money wasted. Single-player games are not only free of those problems, but on PC mods can allow you to tweak the game to your absolute personal perfection.
Much rather it be single player, better graphics, no lag, no grieving, just zen like playing and enjoying the story...now if there was a multi-player arena or quiditch then I think that would be cool but as far as multi-player in the story that's a hard no
multiplayer is a lot better and more fun a makes a lot more sense as seen as Ur gonna be in a school socializing with other people so why not it be real people it has the perfect opportunity and it ruined it any form of co-op would be great even if its 2 player or 4 player co-op it would be far better than single player
@@torzae9234 I actually agree with this. Singleplayer is great because it removes the lag, but it doesn't fit with this game. I'm not saying it should be just Multiplayer, have it be both. Triwizard Tournament events, Quidditch matches, you get sorted into the houses based on how you answer a few questions, you start off as a first year and work your way up with XP, duels against other classmates, you have to go to each class and answer questions, dungeons that gain you XP, you can get sent to detention, you can go to Hogsmeade, you have to do good in classes to earn points for each house in order to win the House Cup, you have to get to each class on time but have an option to do other things, you go to dinner and chat with other players. This game has potential to be one of the best games out there, only if they do it right, and I feel like this would be a great start.
Honestly singleplayer vs MMO aside, I'd more so appreciate just a co-op experience. In my opinion you can never go wrong with the option of co-op; if it's not forced. All the pros to singleplayer are still there, simply don't utilize co-op functionality. Meanwhile the benefits of playing with friends are now open. The downsides of co-op are usually subjective to the person; and their friend group, I.E: Your friends aren't being as immersive as you'd like them to be. But this is apparent in any genre of game and more so a thing of picking the right friends to play with. The only real objective downside I could think of with co-op is if the game design is not meant to be played with others; though I haven't played the game I would think that creating a setting revolving around a school, with fellow classmates; it's a hard task to claim it wouldn't be beneficial unless there is a point where you are just up and gone and they've made a story decision as to why you would be alone. At the end of the day though I hope the game does well, curious to see what comes of it.
They could've just added a co-op mode tbh just being able to have that option would've made many people play longer. But I only see myself play for a bit then completely moving on to the next popular game.
At least Co-op mode for sure would have been 10x better. Inviting say 4-6 friends to handle certain higher level difficulties. Game is amazing, but having my friend on discord while he is playing at the same time and we can't play together? Nah they dropped the ball big time.
Fuck that I’m pissed ….they been calling it advertising it as an mmo n it’s an rpg open world .. the potential of an mmo of this game wound be insane … smfh way to destroy a great game …. Just have coop campaign at least like wtf
Exactly ... All of the ppl not wanting this as a multiplayer game are afraid of players that could potentially attack them like Elden Ring Online ... I think they could have had a single player campaign AND a multiplayer version ... Limiting the options is frustrating ... The only benefit of making this single player is limiting server issues and frame rate droppage ... Co-OP, MMO, and PvP makes sense especially from the backbone of the Harry Potter story ... Harry had Hermoine and Ron ... It wasn't just Harry ... Give ppl options ... Don't limit them ...
@@kre8tivbydesign964 As someone who doesn't want multiplayer my main concern cash shops and not being able to imerseve myself in the game while 2 other player wearing nothing. Now other hand i do like coop because i can play with my friends that i know. So for me Mutiplayer bad COOP good. FYI i keep COOP and Multiplayer seprate because companies look and see Mutiplayer and they think oww lets do MMO
I think it should have been a Co-Op single player. Imagine having your own Harry Potter gang exploring the castle discovering secret passages and uncovering mystery’s with your friends. If you have non then it would just be npc companion
No, absolutely not. I hate games that force you to have a constant online connection. I believe that games that are multiplayer like Lost Ark or Final Fantasy XIV should give you the option to play offline.
@@RiverRockRecords ur in a school socialising with other people so why not it be real people that u socialise with theres such a great opportunity for mp u should of thought about sending that
@torzae9234 they had nowhere near the budget to buy servers and add extra coding for that. Not even close. .. even if they did they would still have server issues for a minimum of 2 months after releasing. And guess what... PC PEOPLE WILL MAKE A MULTIPLAYER MOD FOR FREE... like without a doubt. So there you go.. just wait a few months. I'm guessing 6 to complete the mod. ... outplayed... outsmarted. There's ur karma. No matter what you say you can't come back from that.
@@RiverRockRecords bro thinks hes a game character “OuTpLaYEd ouTsMaRTed🤓” it’s seriously not that hard even 2 player co-op would be perfect like amazing or possibly 4 player i dont even care if i had to wait a couple more months its worth u know its worths everyone knows its worth it outplayed outsmarted. Theres ur karma theres no comeback from this comment
If it was an MMO there wouldn't be a doubt in my mind that the game would release in a unfinished state with a working store that charges you $20 and more for cosmetic's
Painting and gaming are my escape from reality and exercising. It’s way to feel at ease with yourself. Not everything needs to have PVP etc. to have a great experience with the game. Single player games are fun because you have all the time to explore and not just bashing your way through enemies while your fingers on the controller, are smashing buttons.
Multiplayer on this game would be amazing.. they would make soooo much money from it , I won’t be doing another play through after my first I just don’t see the point but if multiplayer is added I can see myself playing for years ahead
I myself love that it’s single player want have to deal with irritating people, but i can understand why people want it to be multiplayer,maybe there’ll be a multiplayer dlc
Would be really nice if there were coop options. Just being able to run around with a friend is very exciting. Although with 100h+ of elden ring, I maybe spent 2 hours with company...
Let's be fair tho if elden ring was more stable and you could join your friends without people coming to troll you. We would have had more time with others. I have 240hrs ish in elden ring, every time i tried to do things with friends we either got attacked or disconnected
Same. I spent way more than 2 hours at that Malenia gate playing with others, though. But it was the only time I used the multiplayer feature and where I actually derived real pleasure from it.
Unpopular opinion, but I mostly only buy coop-able games these days. I usually play with friends, so not being able to share an experience or progress with them steers me away from a lot of games. That being said, some games do solo play so well that it's worth it
I’m happy that Hogwarts Legacy is a single player experience because I get the full immersion and story experience without being pulled out of that immersion due to the actions of others. That being said I see another missed opportunity of not having a way to opt in or out of the multiplayer experience with a system similar to Elden Ring or having a shared social space like the common rooms or the grand hall. Like being able to play Wizards Chess in either of these spaces. I can see them adding these spaces as Social Spaces in the future or adding an MMO update/server in the future like how they did with Grand Theft Auto Online. Where people can play with others, and roleplay etc. That’s how I see Hogwarts Legacy becoming an MMO without having to overhaul the entire game. Or DLC for Quidditch. I didn’t even think about the TriWizard Tournament. That would be so cool on a multiplayer scale. I can also the potential to add other Wizarding Schools of other countries or expanding the world for when our characters become adults and have the options of either becoming an Auror or something. But those options require a lot of work which would most likely mean a whole other game.
I think at the very least it would’ve been nice to do Co-op with friends, because, while I’ll still probably get the game (when it goes on sale eventually) I would’ve been more hyped/motivated to get the game if that meant I could also play with friends and people in general.
for sure co-op. it's warnerbros. Gotham Knights was one of the best,if not the very best co-op experience ever implemented in an open-world game. better than far cry 6. you are with your friend even during cutscenes and there are different lines of dialog. Ok, maybe when you are inside Hogwarts lets say you are durign class, you learn spells - its basically a highschool for magic. But during outside exploration, fighting, and bosses - they have no excuse to not let a friend play with you. and your friend would have its own unique class and that would make all the difference during combat. not to mention this is Harry potter. The fans will wanna cosplay. Imagine I make a lookalike Harry and my friend a hermione granger and co-op together. .... just sad :( they did not want to spend the extra money
I would enjoy it if they kept the game’s main story single player but they make an end game multiplayer content similar to how ghost of Tsushima done it. That would be the best situation I could think of, oh, and multiplayer quidditch lol
Absolutely not, there are enough multiplayer games. We want SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. I want to relax while I play, I don't want a bunch of idiots ruining my experience.
The very first moment i spawned into Red Dead Online after character creation, the very first thing that happened after the tutorial was a large group of jerks began griefing me. For over an hour, I couldn't even leave my camp without getting killed by 10 guys. I've had many experiences like that in online games, going all the way back to the days of Phantasy Star Online way back on the Dreamcast, where people figured out how to use Gamesharks to crash your system by casting spells, and just ran around ruining people's time with the game. Even in cooperative games, other people tend to act like jerks. Online can be fun with friends, I loved playing Remnant. But for most games, I'm solo, and prefer it that way.
Maybe not an MMO but maybe it should have a Co op experience. Something like Borderlands or Divinity original sin. Where you join somebody else's campaign and you can choose any game save file character
I personally hate multi player games, as I hate having to depend on other players. I play games to have fun. And most multiplayer games are not fun. MMO are jobs got log in date/time to raid, and MoBa are just toxic. So both PvE and PvP are just not fun.
Definetely sadened that there isnt a multiplayer component, but its not impossible to be added in the future. The main issue I have with it being singleplayer is that I would have enjoyed being able to go around hogwarts with my friends, more of a private multiplayer with your friends is what I would have hoped for. Imagine having a squad that you go through the hogwarts years with and together you make a legacy for your group and are essentially your own group of Ron, Hermione, and Harry. The game does look amazing and singleplayer is definitely a good choice, but it would have been nice to see a "Local"/ friends only multiplayer. Its not impossible for us to see a multiplayer port/update of the game at some point, maybe even a mod for it on pc, who knows, we can only hope.
Optional co-op and pvp elements of the game would make it something to come back to. Still excited for the game but it would be awesome to see that addition in a dlc later on.
Since it's UE4, the chances of modding the game might be quite high-So maybe people will figure out if there are connections to possible Multiplayer modes or even add their own. Actually, I would LOVE to have the possibility to run around there with friends. Not Massive Multiplayer but on a smaller scale like a role-play group of around 30 people max. More than enough.
I'm rejoicing that this game is single player, but I wouldn't mind a multiplayer mode tagged in. The Dark Arts arena would've been the perfect co-op multiplayer experience, like Ghost of Tsushima Legends and Ghost of Tsushima.
I honestly don't think everything needs to be multiplayer, but this game should have been. Imagine going to class with friends, doing missions, raids for exclusive unlockables, quidditch, yearly goblet of fire tournament, but they should keep it lootbox free, micro dlc free and p2w free.
I think a limited cooperative game could be a direction they take in the future. For performance reasons, I don't see a full-fledged MMO in Harry Potter universe being that great with modern technology. But instanced content with 2-4 or more players could be great. Or perhaps having areas to go where you can have 2v2 or 4v4 PVP type content. Probably not with the current combat system, but in a future game.
My biggest issue is when they try to balance a game because of PVP. Just add PvE and PvP to abilities. So the solo folks can keep having fun with normal experience. Like elden ring i had to see what PVP ruined every time i took a few week break and a patch came around
Yeah, multiplayer adds the whole nightmare of "we must balance the game" and "everyone must play meta builds or fall behind" and all that annoying crap. Not everything has to be multiplayer.
Are you guys joking multiplayer pvp would have been insanely awesome. Like why not have a region that is multiplayer and players can fight each other and pick up there loot or like after 100 kills in pvp you can get a crazy spell and so on. I could think of so many ways this game would be insaneeee with multiplayer. They definitely messed up for sure. Still gonna be good though :/
There are plenty of things to do for a sequel of this game. Triwiz tournament can allow the devs to add outside areas that can be explored completely anew. the second movie showed us the catacombs under the castle which can be explored. its also a magical castle which allows for it to change in various amount. I like the idea that the whole castle works based on the room of requirements mechanic and so the spaces change based on the users needs. We can add the ministry of magic as a whole new area as well. But i think the most impirtant part of hogwarts is the stories being told here. there is room for a few different mistery stories that can use the castle setting as a tool for telling. That is the advantage of having 0 rules for how your world works...you can play with the world just enough to create new content. i do agree that quidditch, wizards chess, and tri wiz tournament can be dlcs that allow us to play online. How awesome would it be if chess players played esports chess through hogwarts, the vid game...
I am so glad that this game isn’t an mmo. I think you might be underestimating the potential of a single game and possible sequels to the game. The whole concept of Harry Potter has been returning to Hogwarts. To see the larger narrative of Harry’s story unfold. Hogwarts Legacy has the potential to give that same experience. A large high quality narrative expanding multiple games. Games like Mass Effect have been very successful, doing exactly this. Also my issue with mmos is the fact that the gameplay loop will inherently be repetitive. It’s practically in the nature of mmos to be developed in such a way. And a weakness to the mmo model. Because developers are trying to create content, as efficiently possible. It being a single player game, it let’s the developers create a higher quality gameplay experience.
It shouldn’t be an open world MMO but make it possible to play with your friends in Co-op up to 4 players at least or have the dark arts arena being a multiplayer arena. something ANYTHING to add
If it is multiplayer, it should follow Red Dead’s formula. Incredibly strong story and world with multiplayer being its own thing that does not impact the campaign.
I was actually relived when I found out it's not MMO. Nothing inherently wrong with MMOs, but I also like to just spend my time in the game as I want and at my own pace. The Hogwarts world seems like the perfect environment to do that in.
Was it intentional to completely counter your own point about visual customization by showing video of the incredibly different outfits available while saying you think we'll only get minor variations of robes?
Adding multiplayer means the game itself would most likely suffer in terms of quality or content. Its really hard (if not impossible) to do everything in every area perfectly when making a game, so dropping multiplayer to focus solely on the single player experience probably allowed the developers to excel at that experience
I cannot think of a single argument that could be made against allowing a small co-op experience. I love RPGs, and enjoy many of the majorly popular single-player experiences, but I can't think of one of them that I wouldn't have enjoyed even more if I was allowed to play, or at least re-play, side-by-side with my spouse and/or friend group. Sure, design it towards being a single-player experience, just give the ~option~ of co-op. Nobody is forcing anyone to play multiplayer, and I'm not suggesting the game be balanced with multiplayer in mind to the detriment of the single-player experience. Just give us the ~choice~. Modders have spent ~years~ attempting to make some of the most famous and successful single-player RPGs in to multiplayer experiences. That kind of passion and dedication to such a massive undertaking doesn't manifest on a whim. There is a huge demographic of players that want to be able to enjoy their favorite games with their friends and significant others, and game developers need to start providing that experience consistently in their RPGs, the types of games that, in my opinion, afford the greatest levels of enjoyment and the longest lengths of play time. Edit: I've seen so many comments about other players ruining the experience, either the immersion or by griefing. I would like to reiterate the point I made about multiplayer being a ~choice~, and the game being balanced and designed towards a single-player experience, and reinforce that point with the reminder that my suggestion is based on the idea of a small, invite-based co-op experience amongst friends, ~not~ an MMO experience. The people you would be playing with would be of ~your~ choosing, griefing should not be a consideration. And as for arguments against this idea in the vein of one's immersion or experience being tainted by the presence of other players, again, co-op would be a ~choice~. Nobody is forcing this multiplayer experience upon you. TL;DR All games, so long as it's mechanically viable, should offer a co-op experience. Nobody is forcing the players that don't want that to do it. Design the game towards a single-player experience, just allow co-op for the people who want it. Just because some prefer it to be single-player doesn't mean the choice should be taken from those who don't.
I would say, something like Path of Exile: some hub rooms could be mmo to chat and share their cosmetics.The rest of the game would be coop from 2 to 4 players. PVP also would be good with some arenas or pvp areas, 1vs1, 2vs2, included with a ranking system
I think they should've gone the Old Republic route, except with what seems to be better combat. Agreed that it's a missed opportunity. Great story, single-player narrative, that can be played with friends, with distinct storyline based on (say) your house choice. Then end game content can be things like Wizarding sports a la Quidditch, world bosses e.g hunting dragons or wizard artifacts, with daily quests like interesting dark wizard battles (perhaps harkoning to the Mordor games Nemesis) and school activities.
Indont think it needs to be n mmo but the optional online and couch co-op should be more used in games, I would love to play games like this with my wife.
Glad this is a single player game. I play a lot of MMO's (4-6 on rotation) and don't see the need for it here. Mass Effect didn't need multiplayer and it is one of greatest game franchises ever. It did implement multiplayer, and some say it was good but I wouldn't know, but it was very successful without it. Also I am pretty sure sales of legendary edition proved it didn't need the multiplayer to be successful. If this had been an MMO I doubt I would have pre-ordered it because as you mentioned thee would have been massive server queues, server bugs and other issues on launch, which has happened to pretty much every MMO on launch since the dawn of time.
I actually prefer that the game is not multiplayer and here's why: I have been playing MMO's for over 18 years now and every time there are other groups of people around there tends to be either griefing happening, toxicity, elitism and everything surrounding that. Does playing MMO's in a group doing dungeons/raiding get you a few good memories ? Sure, there is no denying that, but the reasons I stated is why I prefer single player experiences that actually have an ending. I do play both Lost Ark and WoW actively and have made many amazing memories throughout the years, but the MMO's end up being grindfests or daily chores that put you into a routine. Singleplayer games don't do that and that's why I prefer them, because you can take it at your own pace.
I would like to see recruitable companions with their own strengths, maybe a friendship system or quest to unlock and you can pick one to go with you on missions.
Yes it should’ve been, anybody who disagrees can’t understand the simple fact that you can separate the main storyline from MMO content, for some reason that seems to be a massively hard concept
Multiplayer would have guaranteed the sale for me and my friend group. Although only for coop. If it was built like a MMO there is no way in hell any of us would enjoy it.
Terrible decision to not make almost every game multiplayer nowadays. Single player is as dead as the living room is. Everything looks amazing, runs well... but is completely and utterly pointless.
MMO like mode similar to destiny 2 public events, where every NPC in school is an actual player, with 4 houses competing each other in PvP quidditch, duels, where every player adds points for their houses, every mistake deducts point or month long tournaments like triwizard tournament, imagine 100s of wizards of same house practicing, but sadly it will be just a dream, maybe technology is not ready yet..
I like the fact that it Is a single player RPG but I would like for it to have MORPGs (not MMO) aspects. Being able to forma a small group of friends in a peer to peer connection to play quidditch and do dungeons and fights. Or even a bit of a dark souls element. Even though I would LOVE to have a wizarding world MMO
I'm a little bummed it doesn't have co op because me and my girlfriend would have enjoyed turning first year's into chickens together, but also at the same time my favorite games the past few years have all been single player. I just don't have the time or really the motivation to play multiplayer games that require a certain amount of time played. Destiny and CoD are fun but I'm not a kid anymore I can't pump 5+ hours into them every night.
Nope it shouldn't be multiplayer. not every game needs to be multiplayer. Their focus is the world and the characters not spending man power to make it multi player. If the designers did not want the game to be multi player that is alright, There are hundreds of other game that is multiplayer if that is your cup of tea.
I don´t care much about the fact this game is a singleplayer or could be multiplayer. I love a good narrative and story but I can see the massive potential for a MMO, no doubts. My biggest concern is the combat system. All of this looks quite generic to me. I hate the glowing outlines and the target marker makes everything look like if I would be a visitor at a shooting gallery on a village festival...
I honestly thought this was a mmo until like 2 weeks ago, a little bit bummed tbh but I had a good time with that HP game that came out on PC in the 2000s
I can't see how this could ever be an MMO. Every griefer on the planet would be on this thing levioso-ing noobs until the player base collapsed. Multiplayer where you and trusted friends can connect, I'm all for that. But an MMO would be dead in alpha.
A co-op mode would have been fine and not ruined the immersion. I think it would have been fantastic with co-op not multiplayer. I absolutely hate the communities in almost every multiplayer game
My issues with the game: Denuvo has ruined all expectations for performance and wasn't announced until after all their celebrations about massive preorders. It looks combat focused, so I'm going in expecting a fallout 4 style experience when I wanted something more CRPG. Also expecting a poor story with this convoluted 5th year entry setup. Also adding sidequests/references to quidditch and gobstones but removing the actual mini games from development is pretty heavy immersion breaking when they found the time to add in other minigames. A lot of the castle environments seem to be well scaled till they hit the common rooms which are hitting Tardis levels of expansion.
MMO would be awesome. Those who don’t want online can simply just not play online 😂 I enjoyed wizards101 growing up and feel like this could be a 1000x better version
Yeah some games, like Conan Exiles, have to be a MMO/ PVP to get the real Conan experience. But Hogwarts......I'm fine with it being single player. It'll probably be my go to chill game when Conan has me stressed out after my castle has been burned to the ground and my thralls murdered in the middle of the night.
The one reason I mainly happy about it being single player outside of a couch co-op setting. Is that eventually the servers will get shut down if it was multiplayer. And then if you try to log into the game you wouldn't be able to. But with it being single player I could play it 10 years from now and it would still be playable.
not everything is meant to be multi-player but.... I wish it took the Division approach with it being optional at least... seems like it started off with multi-player in mind

DLC = Multiplayer Quidditch
Sequel idea = Set after Potters time, with a backdrop of a war with muggles using advanced tech... tech vs magic.
Not sure about MMO but definite some co-op, such as a group of 4 would of been awesome.
I'm very much in the camp of not everything needs to be multiplayer. When i play a videogame I want to turn my brain off and escape from it all. Plus there is always those that want to ruin your game. Always. So I think it was a bold move to keep in single player. But also means they focused on making the game fun instead of getting a feature checkmark. If they decide to do DLC down the road that is co--op I'd be welcome to the idea. But none of that mmo stuff.
lol games have an online and a single player mode.. stop crying
Yeah, like Burbo said offline mode exists in just about every title i can think of unless its one of those scummy f2p games. Your point is completely valid and if you want to play alone that's fine, it's just your logic is a bit flawed for why it shouldn't be a multiplayer experience..

The _Seamless Co-op Mod_ for Elden Ring proves how a great way to add multiplayer could work. The *host* decides if others are allowed to join them or even if PVP is on. When someone fast travels to a lost grace a vote is taken and timeouts if it fails to pass.
I'm pretty happy with the game being single player. I enjoy experiencing a good story, interacting with NPCs, and being immersed in a lived-in virtual world (I hope the game is all of this). That said, in the future, I wouldn't mind a MMO based on the Wizarding World! In fact, I find the idea pretty exciting. If done well, it could be a very popular game
You can do all of that in co-op, just look at the divinity games, Solasta, baldurs gate...
I agree, as someone who enjoys the souls trilogy and play them almost entirely solo, if the game is I will do multiple playthroughs.
I mean they could actually do how they have done GTAV keep the solo single player, and then add in multiplayer assets on a separate space, which would work really well and also it would save server space too and give people the option to join people in an online mode or a solo mode
But they won’t because they are actually retarded. Like it’s unfathomable that the game devs do not understand marketing their only marketing is Harry Potter which Carrie’s them.

They could have added it...they were just being lazy expected please to just accept a single player experience. GTA is still the best to this day because of the multiplayer lobbies
I think further down the line, they could add a hub area where you could just chat with other HP fans and show off your character to friends, etc. I'm sure there'd be a big demand for a quidditch DLC too
They have to do quidditch that's literally a good idea also coop to of 4 or 2 players it doesn't need like GTA 30 players just normal size
All we are missing is a 4 player co-op option - it would have hyped many of my friends to get the game...
For real, I have 3 friends would buy the game if they at least had a co-op mode
Imagine how cool it would be sharing this world with your friends. Like destiny, it would be so cool to see other players just out vibing doing quests
What you say between 00:35 and 01:10 is the reason I no longer play MMO's or multiplayer. That and the fact I'm getting older, I have other priorities and MMO's most of the time "requires" you to be online for at least a couple of hours every day to do all the dailys and similar events that usually comes with MMO games.
Same here, if it was a couple only it would be alright, but every MMO requires it to be basically another job unless you pay for boosts and/or buy items and other stuffs :P
Exactly!
Plus there's "special" events with "limited time rewards" half the damned year in some games. Some foolishly try to force players into activities they don't and will never enjoy. And any MMO patch can turn a game you enjoy into one you hate, with all your time, effort and money wasted. Single-player games are not only free of those problems, but on PC mods can allow you to tweak the game to your absolute personal perfection.
@@klefthoofrobert787 Yhea exactly like when people say mutiplayer i am like hold your horses there because companies will think mutiplayer as MMO.
Much rather it be single player, better graphics, no lag, no grieving, just zen like playing and enjoying the story...now if there was a multi-player arena or quiditch then I think that would be cool but as far as multi-player in the story that's a hard no
multiplayer is a lot better and more fun a makes a lot more sense as seen as Ur gonna be in a school socializing with other people so why not it be real people it has the perfect opportunity and it ruined it any form of co-op would be great even if its 2 player or 4 player co-op it would be far better than single player
@@torzae9234 I actually agree with this. Singleplayer is great because it removes the lag, but it doesn't fit with this game. I'm not saying it should be just Multiplayer, have it be both. Triwizard Tournament events, Quidditch matches, you get sorted into the houses based on how you answer a few questions, you start off as a first year and work your way up with XP, duels against other classmates, you have to go to each class and answer questions, dungeons that gain you XP, you can get sent to detention, you can go to Hogsmeade, you have to do good in classes to earn points for each house in order to win the House Cup, you have to get to each class on time but have an option to do other things, you go to dinner and chat with other players. This game has potential to be one of the best games out there, only if they do it right, and I feel like this would be a great start.
@@shadowash21 yup this is a perfect description on what i want
Honestly singleplayer vs MMO aside, I'd more so appreciate just a co-op experience.
In my opinion you can never go wrong with the option of co-op; if it's not forced. All the pros to singleplayer are still there, simply don't utilize co-op functionality. Meanwhile the benefits of playing with friends are now open. The downsides of co-op are usually subjective to the person; and their friend group, I.E: Your friends aren't being as immersive as you'd like them to be. But this is apparent in any genre of game and more so a thing of picking the right friends to play with. The only real objective downside I could think of with co-op is if the game design is not meant to be played with others; though I haven't played the game I would think that creating a setting revolving around a school, with fellow classmates; it's a hard task to claim it wouldn't be beneficial unless there is a point where you are just up and gone and they've made a story decision as to why you would be alone. At the end of the day though I hope the game does well, curious to see what comes of it.
at a maximum i think it could have been a 2 to 4 co-op game, but it's not a Portal or L4D style game, so i think going solo is best here.
It was designed to be a single player RPG experience and should be left to do as such, I'd be open to an MMO in the future though
Perfect Comment
They could've just added a co-op mode tbh just being able to have that option would've made many people play longer. But I only see myself play for a bit then completely moving on to the next popular game.
At least Co-op mode for sure would have been 10x better. Inviting say 4-6 friends to handle certain higher level difficulties. Game is amazing, but having my friend on discord while he is playing at the same time and we can't play together? Nah they dropped the ball big time.
Thank god it’s not an mmo
Fuck that I’m pissed ….they been calling it advertising it as an mmo n it’s an rpg open world .. the potential of an mmo of this game wound be insane … smfh way to destroy a great game …. Just have coop campaign at least like wtf
This is why I love the offline option for Elden Ring.
Exactly ... All of the ppl not wanting this as a multiplayer game are afraid of players that could potentially attack them like Elden Ring Online ... I think they could have had a single player campaign AND a multiplayer version ... Limiting the options is frustrating ... The only benefit of making this single player is limiting server issues and frame rate droppage ... Co-OP, MMO, and PvP makes sense especially from the backbone of the Harry Potter story ... Harry had Hermoine and Ron ... It wasn't just Harry ... Give ppl options ... Don't limit them ...
@@kre8tivbydesign964 As someone who doesn't want multiplayer my main concern cash shops and not being able to imerseve myself in the game while 2 other player wearing nothing. Now other hand i do like coop because i can play with my friends that i know. So for me Mutiplayer bad COOP good.
FYI i keep COOP and Multiplayer seprate because companies look and see Mutiplayer and they think oww lets do MMO
I think it should have been a Co-Op single player. Imagine having your own Harry Potter gang exploring the castle discovering secret passages and uncovering mystery’s with your friends. If you have non then it would just be npc companion
No, absolutely not. I hate games that force you to have a constant online connection. I believe that games that are multiplayer like Lost Ark or Final Fantasy XIV should give you the option to play offline.
I would agree with maybe a 2 player co-op, but nothing more
Single player is absolutely fine! 🎉 Playing against sweaty people in every MP game gets a little tedious 😅
who said you would be fighting any one if they did add it it would most likely be roaming around and doing dungeons
@@torzae9234 Its Hogwarts... with Wand Dueling.... you should've thought before sending that my dude.
@@RiverRockRecords ur in a school socialising with other people so why not it be real people that u socialise with theres such a great opportunity for mp u should of thought about sending that
@torzae9234 they had nowhere near the budget to buy servers and add extra coding for that. Not even close.
.. even if they did they would still have server issues for a minimum of 2 months after releasing. And guess what... PC PEOPLE WILL MAKE A MULTIPLAYER MOD FOR FREE... like without a doubt.
So there you go.. just wait a few months. I'm guessing 6 to complete the mod.
... outplayed... outsmarted. There's ur karma.
No matter what you say you can't come back from that.
@@RiverRockRecords bro thinks hes a game character “OuTpLaYEd ouTsMaRTed🤓” it’s seriously not that hard even 2 player co-op would be perfect like amazing or possibly 4 player i dont even care if i had to wait a couple more months its worth u know its worths everyone knows its worth it outplayed outsmarted. Theres ur karma theres no comeback from this comment
If it was an MMO there wouldn't be a doubt in my mind that the game would release in a unfinished state with a working store that charges you $20 and more for cosmetic's
I am sure if the game does well they could add a multiplayer system (even a simple one) in the future.
Painting and gaming are my escape from reality and exercising. It’s way to feel at ease with yourself. Not everything needs to have PVP etc. to have a great experience with the game. Single player games are fun because you have all the time to explore and not just bashing your way through enemies while your fingers on the controller, are smashing buttons.
Multiplayer on this game would be amazing.. they would make soooo much money from it , I won’t be doing another play through after my first I just don’t see the point but if multiplayer is added I can see myself playing for years ahead
I myself love that it’s single player want have to deal with irritating people, but i can understand why people want it to be multiplayer,maybe there’ll be a multiplayer dlc
Would be really nice if there were coop options. Just being able to run around with a friend is very exciting. Although with 100h+ of elden ring, I maybe spent 2 hours with company...
Let's be fair tho if elden ring was more stable and you could join your friends without people coming to troll you. We would have had more time with others. I have 240hrs ish in elden ring, every time i tried to do things with friends we either got attacked or disconnected
Same. I spent way more than 2 hours at that Malenia gate playing with others, though. But it was the only time I used the multiplayer feature and where I actually derived real pleasure from it.
Unpopular opinion, but I mostly only buy coop-able games these days. I usually play with friends, so not being able to share an experience or progress with them steers me away from a lot of games. That being said, some games do solo play so well that it's worth it
If it had co-op, maybe some wizard duels, dungeon runs, more like borderlands, or souls like.
I’m happy that Hogwarts Legacy is a single player experience because I get the full immersion and story experience without being pulled out of that immersion due to the actions of others.
That being said I see another missed opportunity of not having a way to opt in or out of the multiplayer experience with a system similar to Elden Ring or having a shared social space like the common rooms or the grand hall. Like being able to play Wizards Chess in either of these spaces. I can see them adding these spaces as Social Spaces in the future or adding an MMO update/server in the future like how they did with Grand Theft Auto Online. Where people can play with others, and roleplay etc. That’s how I see Hogwarts Legacy becoming an MMO without having to overhaul the entire game. Or DLC for Quidditch.
I didn’t even think about the TriWizard Tournament. That would be so cool on a multiplayer scale. I can also the potential to add other Wizarding Schools of other countries or expanding the world for when our characters become adults and have the options of either becoming an Auror or something. But those options require a lot of work which would most likely mean a whole other game.
I think at the very least it would’ve been nice to do Co-op with friends, because, while I’ll still probably get the game (when it goes on sale eventually) I would’ve been more hyped/motivated to get the game if that meant I could also play with friends and people in general.
for sure co-op. it's warnerbros. Gotham Knights was one of the best,if not the very best co-op experience ever implemented in an open-world game. better than far cry 6. you are with your friend even during cutscenes and there are different lines of dialog.
Ok, maybe when you are inside Hogwarts lets say you are durign class, you learn spells - its basically a highschool for magic. But during outside exploration, fighting, and bosses - they have no excuse to not let a friend play with you. and your friend would have its own unique class and that would make all the difference during combat.
not to mention this is Harry potter. The fans will wanna cosplay. Imagine I make a lookalike Harry and my friend a hermione granger and co-op together. .... just sad :( they did not want to spend the extra money
I would enjoy it if they kept the game’s main story single player but they make an end game multiplayer content similar to how ghost of Tsushima done it. That would be the best situation I could think of, oh, and multiplayer quidditch lol
Absolutely not, there are enough multiplayer games. We want SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. I want to relax while I play, I don't want a bunch of idiots ruining my experience.
Exactly.
The very first moment i spawned into Red Dead Online after character creation, the very first thing that happened after the tutorial was a large group of jerks began griefing me. For over an hour, I couldn't even leave my camp without getting killed by 10 guys. I've had many experiences like that in online games, going all the way back to the days of Phantasy Star Online way back on the Dreamcast, where people figured out how to use Gamesharks to crash your system by casting spells, and just ran around ruining people's time with the game. Even in cooperative games, other people tend to act like jerks. Online can be fun with friends, I loved playing Remnant. But for most games, I'm solo, and prefer it that way.
Maybe not an MMO but maybe it should have a Co op experience. Something like Borderlands or Divinity original sin. Where you join somebody else's campaign and you can choose any game save file character
Exactly!
I personally hate multi player games, as I hate having to depend on other players. I play games to have fun. And most multiplayer games are not fun. MMO are jobs got log in date/time to raid, and MoBa are just toxic. So both PvE and PvP are just not fun.
No. Let me be alone for SOME of my games, please.
I think they should have put co-op in where you can play with a friend and a small multiplayer part where you can duel actual ppl
Definetely sadened that there isnt a multiplayer component, but its not impossible to be added in the future. The main issue I have with it being singleplayer is that I would have enjoyed being able to go around hogwarts with my friends, more of a private multiplayer with your friends is what I would have hoped for. Imagine having a squad that you go through the hogwarts years with and together you make a legacy for your group and are essentially your own group of Ron, Hermione, and Harry. The game does look amazing and singleplayer is definitely a good choice, but it would have been nice to see a "Local"/ friends only multiplayer. Its not impossible for us to see a multiplayer port/update of the game at some point, maybe even a mod for it on pc, who knows, we can only hope.
Nope. Then it wouldn’t be tailored to a single player experience.
They ruin so many fun games because of multiplayer.
I agree but I hope they can take the things they learned and eventually make a mmo
@@Goggz101 yea I would enjoy a Harry Potter universe MMO. But only in a …non mmo scale? Like playing with 2 other people max.
Maybe an online extension like red dead and gta?
No. I'd have much rather have had a mmo of this.
Optional co-op and pvp elements of the game would make it something to come back to. Still excited for the game but it would be awesome to see that addition in a dlc later on.
Since it's UE4, the chances of modding the game might be quite high-So maybe people will figure out if there are connections to possible Multiplayer modes or even add their own. Actually, I would LOVE to have the possibility to run around there with friends. Not Massive Multiplayer but on a smaller scale like a role-play group of around 30 people max. More than enough.
God no. The best RPGs are single player
I'm rejoicing that this game is single player, but I wouldn't mind a multiplayer mode tagged in. The Dark Arts arena would've been the perfect co-op multiplayer experience, like Ghost of Tsushima Legends and Ghost of Tsushima.
I honestly don't think everything needs to be multiplayer, but this game should have been. Imagine going to class with friends, doing missions, raids for exclusive unlockables, quidditch, yearly goblet of fire tournament, but they should keep it lootbox free, micro dlc free and p2w free.
I think a limited cooperative game could be a direction they take in the future. For performance reasons, I don't see a full-fledged MMO in Harry Potter universe being that great with modern technology. But instanced content with 2-4 or more players could be great. Or perhaps having areas to go where you can have 2v2 or 4v4 PVP type content. Probably not with the current combat system, but in a future game.
My biggest issue is when they try to balance a game because of PVP. Just add PvE and PvP to abilities. So the solo folks can keep having fun with normal experience. Like elden ring i had to see what PVP ruined every time i took a few week break and a patch came around
Yeah, multiplayer adds the whole nightmare of "we must balance the game" and "everyone must play meta builds or fall behind" and all that annoying crap. Not everything has to be multiplayer.
I wish I could just run through with a couple buddies and get up to shenanigans at hogwarts
Are you guys joking multiplayer pvp would have been insanely awesome. Like why not have a region that is multiplayer and players can fight each other and pick up there loot or like after 100 kills in pvp you can get a crazy spell and so on. I could think of so many ways this game would be insaneeee with multiplayer. They definitely messed up for sure. Still gonna be good though :/
I prefer single player. Antisocial I know but game company milk it on mmo. I'm mmo-ed out.
There are plenty of things to do for a sequel of this game.
Triwiz tournament can allow the devs to add outside areas that can be explored completely anew.
the second movie showed us the catacombs under the castle which can be explored.
its also a magical castle which allows for it to change in various amount. I like the idea that the whole castle works based on the room of requirements mechanic and so the spaces change based on the users needs.
We can add the ministry of magic as a whole new area as well.
But i think the most impirtant part of hogwarts is the stories being told here.
there is room for a few different mistery stories that can use the castle setting as a tool for telling.
That is the advantage of having 0 rules for how your world works...you can play with the world just enough to create new content.
i do agree that quidditch, wizards chess, and tri wiz tournament can be dlcs that allow us to play online.
How awesome would it be if chess players played esports chess through hogwarts, the vid game...
That would be sick even a qudditch match is cool too
wasn't Triwiz tournament banned until 1994?
I am so glad that this game isn’t an mmo. I think you might be underestimating the potential of a single game and possible sequels to the game.
The whole concept of Harry Potter has been returning to Hogwarts. To see the larger narrative of Harry’s story unfold. Hogwarts Legacy has the potential to give that same experience. A large high quality narrative expanding multiple games. Games like Mass Effect have been very successful, doing exactly this.
Also my issue with mmos is the fact that the gameplay loop will inherently be repetitive. It’s practically in the nature of mmos to be developed in such a way. And a weakness to the mmo model. Because developers are trying to create content, as efficiently possible.
It being a single player game, it let’s the developers create a higher quality gameplay experience.
I prefer single player games like this tbh, but I understand the love for mmo too
It shouldn’t be an open world MMO but make it possible to play with your friends in Co-op up to 4 players at least or have the dark arts arena being a multiplayer arena. something ANYTHING to add
If it is multiplayer, it should follow Red Dead’s formula. Incredibly strong story and world with multiplayer being its own thing that does not impact the campaign.
I was actually relived when I found out it's not MMO. Nothing inherently wrong with MMOs, but I also like to just spend my time in the game as I want and at my own pace. The Hogwarts world seems like the perfect environment to do that in.
I mean you can progress at your own pace in an MMO doesn't mean you'll be unable to enjoy it..
I wanted coop as being able to play this with a friend would've been incredible.
@@jatocato Oh, that would have been pretty awesome!
I think a pvp 1v1 to 3v3 where the dev can also immerses themselves and balance things as professors (arena mode). A separate gear set for pvp/pve.
Was it intentional to completely counter your own point about visual customization by showing video of the incredibly different outfits available while saying you think we'll only get minor variations of robes?
Adding multiplayer adds immersion dude!
The original Harry Potter game was epic , but number one thing that it lacked was online play. I’m hoping they fixed it by adding online play.
Adding multiplayer means the game itself would most likely suffer in terms of quality or content. Its really hard (if not impossible) to do everything in every area perfectly when making a game, so dropping multiplayer to focus solely on the single player experience probably allowed the developers to excel at that experience
I cannot think of a single argument that could be made against allowing a small co-op experience. I love RPGs, and enjoy many of the majorly popular single-player experiences, but I can't think of one of them that I wouldn't have enjoyed even more if I was allowed to play, or at least re-play, side-by-side with my spouse and/or friend group. Sure, design it towards being a single-player experience, just give the ~option~ of co-op. Nobody is forcing anyone to play multiplayer, and I'm not suggesting the game be balanced with multiplayer in mind to the detriment of the single-player experience. Just give us the ~choice~. Modders have spent ~years~ attempting to make some of the most famous and successful single-player RPGs in to multiplayer experiences. That kind of passion and dedication to such a massive undertaking doesn't manifest on a whim. There is a huge demographic of players that want to be able to enjoy their favorite games with their friends and significant others, and game developers need to start providing that experience consistently in their RPGs, the types of games that, in my opinion, afford the greatest levels of enjoyment and the longest lengths of play time.
Edit: I've seen so many comments about other players ruining the experience, either the immersion or by griefing. I would like to reiterate the point I made about multiplayer being a ~choice~, and the game being balanced and designed towards a single-player experience, and reinforce that point with the reminder that my suggestion is based on the idea of a small, invite-based co-op experience amongst friends, ~not~ an MMO experience. The people you would be playing with would be of ~your~ choosing, griefing should not be a consideration. And as for arguments against this idea in the vein of one's immersion or experience being tainted by the presence of other players, again, co-op would be a ~choice~. Nobody is forcing this multiplayer experience upon you.
TL;DR
All games, so long as it's mechanically viable, should offer a co-op experience. Nobody is forcing the players that don't want that to do it. Design the game towards a single-player experience, just allow co-op for the people who want it. Just because some prefer it to be single-player doesn't mean the choice should be taken from those who don't.
I would say, something like Path of Exile:
some hub rooms could be mmo to chat and share their cosmetics.The rest of the game would be coop from 2 to 4 players. PVP also would be good with some arenas or pvp areas, 1vs1, 2vs2, included with a ranking system
Nobody thinks the Mona Lisa painting was a missed opportunity where a family portrait would have been better
I think they should've gone the Old Republic route, except with what seems to be better combat. Agreed that it's a missed opportunity.
Great story, single-player narrative, that can be played with friends, with distinct storyline based on (say) your house choice. Then end game content can be things like Wizarding sports a la Quidditch, world bosses e.g hunting dragons or wizard artifacts, with daily quests like interesting dark wizard battles (perhaps harkoning to the Mordor games Nemesis) and school activities.
Indont think it needs to be n mmo but the optional online and couch co-op should be more used in games, I would love to play games like this with my wife.
I'm glad you can wear whatever you want in the game. Everyone else is wearing their uniforms, meanwhile your character could be at class in their PJs.
A co op feature wouldn't hurt, since many top single player games support it!
I think not having a co-op is a missed opportunity for friends to play together and just free roam. I see ni harm in allowing a group of 4.
Glad this is a single player game. I play a lot of MMO's (4-6 on rotation) and don't see the need for it here. Mass Effect didn't need multiplayer and it is one of greatest game franchises ever. It did implement multiplayer, and some say it was good but I wouldn't know, but it was very successful without it. Also I am pretty sure sales of legendary edition proved it didn't need the multiplayer to be successful.
If this had been an MMO I doubt I would have pre-ordered it because as you mentioned thee would have been massive server queues, server bugs and other issues on launch, which has happened to pretty much every MMO on launch since the dawn of time.
What they should do is co-op play and single player
I actually prefer that the game is not multiplayer and here's why: I have been playing MMO's for over 18 years now and every time there are other groups of people around there tends to be either griefing happening, toxicity, elitism and everything surrounding that. Does playing MMO's in a group doing dungeons/raiding get you a few good memories ? Sure, there is no denying that, but the reasons I stated is why I prefer single player experiences that actually have an ending.
I do play both Lost Ark and WoW actively and have made many amazing memories throughout the years, but the MMO's end up being grindfests or daily chores that put you into a routine. Singleplayer games don't do that and that's why I prefer them, because you can take it at your own pace.
I would like to see recruitable companions with their own strengths, maybe a friendship system or quest to unlock and you can pick one to go with you on missions.
Yes it should’ve been, anybody who disagrees can’t understand the simple fact that you can separate the main storyline from MMO content, for some reason that seems to be a massively hard concept
Multiplayer would have guaranteed the sale for me and my friend group. Although only for coop. If it was built like a MMO there is no way in hell any of us would enjoy it.
"if you're not playing MP you don't have to worry about PING, and LAG" WOW DUDE YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND; HOW ARE YOU THAT SMART?
Terrible decision to not make almost every game multiplayer nowadays.
Single player is as dead as the living room is.
Everything looks amazing, runs well... but is completely and utterly pointless.
MMO like mode similar to destiny 2 public events, where every NPC in school is an actual player, with 4 houses competing each other in PvP quidditch, duels, where every player adds points for their houses, every mistake deducts point or month long tournaments like triwizard tournament, imagine 100s of wizards of same house practicing, but sadly it will be just a dream, maybe technology is not ready yet..
I like the fact that it Is a single player RPG but I would like for it to have MORPGs (not MMO) aspects. Being able to forma a small group of friends in a peer to peer connection to play quidditch and do dungeons and fights. Or even a bit of a dark souls element. Even though I would LOVE to have a wizarding world MMO
I'm a little bummed it doesn't have co op because me and my girlfriend would have enjoyed turning first year's into chickens together, but also at the same time my favorite games the past few years have all been single player. I just don't have the time or really the motivation to play multiplayer games that require a certain amount of time played. Destiny and CoD are fun but I'm not a kid anymore I can't pump 5+ hours into them every night.
Nope it shouldn't be multiplayer. not every game needs to be multiplayer. Their focus is the world and the characters not spending man power to make it multi player. If the designers did not want the game to be multi player that is alright, There are hundreds of other game that is multiplayer if that is your cup of tea.
I don´t care much about the fact this game is a singleplayer or could be multiplayer.
I love a good narrative and story but I can see the massive potential for a MMO, no doubts.
My biggest concern is the combat system. All of this looks quite generic to me.
I hate the glowing outlines and the target marker makes everything look like if I would be a visitor at a shooting gallery on a village festival...
A two player coop would be good. Too many people distract from the narrative, which is the main focus of the game.
The narrative is relationships. That's what Hogwarts is and was. Co op was definitely a must.
@@ralphmack8590 no thx.
@@XiLock_Alotx stick to Sony exclusives than.
@@XiLock_Alotx and go get some Azz as well.
I honestly thought this was a mmo until like 2 weeks ago, a little bit bummed tbh but I had a good time with that HP game that came out on PC in the 2000s
I can't see how this could ever be an MMO. Every griefer on the planet would be on this thing levioso-ing noobs until the player base collapsed. Multiplayer where you and trusted friends can connect, I'm all for that. But an MMO would be dead in alpha.
A co-op mode would have been fine and not ruined the immersion. I think it would have been fantastic with co-op not multiplayer. I absolutely hate the communities in almost every multiplayer game
My issues with the game:
Denuvo has ruined all expectations for performance and wasn't announced until after all their celebrations about massive preorders.
It looks combat focused, so I'm going in expecting a fallout 4 style experience when I wanted something more CRPG. Also expecting a poor story with this convoluted 5th year entry setup. Also adding sidequests/references to quidditch and gobstones but removing the actual mini games from development is pretty heavy immersion breaking when they found the time to add in other minigames.
A lot of the castle environments seem to be well scaled till they hit the common rooms which are hitting Tardis levels of expansion.
Imagine if this was an MMO like ESO.
i play single player in MMOs anyway but still like the option to join groups and show off my skills
The thing I could see them doing was making social hubs where say if you were in the dorms and common rooms then you see other players.
MMO would be awesome. Those who don’t want online can simply just not play online 😂 I enjoyed wizards101 growing up and feel like this could be a 1000x better version
I wouldn't want cancerous mmo community in this game, it's great the way it is
Exactly. The second something becomes an MMO, it becomes a toxic hell
No , I am more than happy they didn't wasted any ressources for multiplayer gameplay.
Then it would have been Anthem and we all know how that turned out.
im confident it should have been a multiplayer.. harry potter is about friendships being formed while in current game youre alone
Yeah some games, like Conan Exiles, have to be a MMO/ PVP to get the real Conan experience. But Hogwarts......I'm fine with it being single player. It'll probably be my go to chill game when Conan has me stressed out after my castle has been burned to the ground and my thralls murdered in the middle of the night.
I prefer like dark soul PVP you being invaded by another player
The one reason I mainly happy about it being single player outside of a couch co-op setting. Is that eventually the servers will get shut down if it was multiplayer. And then if you try to log into the game you wouldn't be able to. But with it being single player I could play it 10 years from now and it would still be playable.
not everything is meant to be multi-player but.... I wish it took the Division approach with it being optional at least... seems like it started off with multi-player in mind
