I really urge you guys to switch to PC setups, (for the next games) good PC will provide so much better quality. Also you can always play on controller even on PC. :)
Am glad you guys are starting a gaming channel. Haven't played through this game yet so im going to refrain from watching this until i finish it but im excited to see your reactions to it once i complete it. Would love to see you play Alan Wake either remastered or original Xbox 360 version. Doesn't matter which one honestly. Great game!! An Awesome story of thrilling twists and turns. Good action with a little mix of horror in sort of a segmented episode style like a TV show. The lore is fantastic. The game studio Remedy knows how to bring a world to life. The town they put you in feels like it could exist in real life. Just awesome!!
I betcha Oak never imagined this is where he would be at this time in his life, playing Harry Potter games on RUclips, but gosh darn I bet he's enjoying it just as much as we are!
THIS! Lmao....Oak is a good dude and I love the channel but the amount of aggravation I felt watching him complain about the objective reminder popping up while saying there has to be some kind of objective and continuing to not see it was insane hahaha
Most important piece of advice I can give is this: don't forget that you are playing a game for enjoyment and we're just here to watch you enjoy it, so don't feel pressured into playing the game in any manner other than how YOU would play it - feel free to explore if you want or rush to the objectives if you wanna do that instead. The game has a lot to offer and various paths and quests to go on, so there's no "correct" way to play it, it's whatever you feel like doing at the time. If you see something interesting you want to check out, go check it out.
Am I the only one who ADORES that Appleton misspelled his first name? For some reason, I could totally see a wizard or witch naming their child 'Appeton', it has just that perfect amount of weirdness to it. Also it's just charming and I love it.
Oak getting frustrated over being reminded, repeatedly, of objectives. Then figuring out the objective that was on the screen. You made it so much more difficult than it needed to be and I love you for it! Way to stick through it! Let's go! ❤❤❤
I give Oak SO many props for powering through and not giving up through this part! I loved seeing the dodging improve but I wanted to shout protego so many times at the orange circle 😅 The first battles are the hardest to get used to the controls
I've only seen videos but I can not for the life of me figure out what the story and the objective of the game is. Are there levels? or dungeon bosses? Or do you just walk around choosing which of your classmates you're going to kill?
I'm 54 min in so Oak might have figured this out but: There's a bright orange circle around your characters head when you're about to receive a hit. Using the shield spell when that pops up ensures you block the attack. Focusing on blocking when you see that indicator makes it easy to shield/dodge against attacks, even if you can't see who or what is attacking. If the indicator is there, you're about to be smashed. As for why the game kept coming up with a message about the objectives window. It's the game constantly hinting that it won't progress until you've cleared the current objective since it has registered that you're dodging and attacking rather than blocking as the objective states. Getting used to noticing and using the games in-build indicators (like the orange circle around your head when about to receive a hit), will make it much easier for you. So my advice would be to look out for the in-game indicators which usually are either visual, auditory or both. Good luck
Game: Review your objective! Oak: No! Game: Review your objective! Oak: I don't want to do that! Game: Review your objective! Oak: There must be an objective! Game: Review your objective!
I’m so glad someone has said this for me 😂 just spent half an hour watching oak trying to figure out how to progress whilst constantly moaning at the very thing he wants 😂
I think it’s also for us as the viewer to also see death and be able to see the thestrals, that way we can see them for the rest of the game. Very thought out
Revelio constantly is the best advise I can give! Don't be hard on yourself, there were definitely a few spots that had me frustrated. I hope you enjoy!
I'll admit to playing other games and automatically trying to use Revelio time to time O:) It is an indispensable spell in Legacy and used it about as often as I could.
The way i was shouting for Oak to use Protego the whole time is hilarious. I love that you stuck with it, I know the game can be confusing at first and im glad you powered through! Cant wait for more videos!
I think its kinda cool this accidentally turned out to be someones first experience with the open world rpg genre. Always really exiting for me when someone explores a new genre because they all have a bit of an underlying gameplay logic you take for granted knowing already as a veteran where as a newby needs to learn them.
Omg can’t believe you guys are playing this. I LOVE this game. The atmosphere, environment, music. It’s all incredible truly a fantastic game for fans exactly what we needed
My favorite thing to come out of the Badd Medicine channel is The Oak's character arc of being a Harry Potter skeptic to full on fanboy. And seeing him play Hogwarts Legacy is the cherry on top.
There's just something about a guy who looks like Oak (that some people would probably stereotype as just a 'gym bro') but is actually just the sweetest dude who's having fun playing a videogame, that really gets me.
Hi oak. A bit of information here. Phineas Nigellus Black is in the books a tiny bit. He is the headmaster in the game so in the books he is one of the portraits on Dumbledores's office. Every headmaster of Hogwarts is in that office and they must be loyal and help the current headmaster. The rest you have to learn it by yourself.
You‘re doing great, Oak! :) we’ve all had to get used to the controls. They are a lot, take your time to get used to them and you‘ll get there! Don‘t hesitate to look them up again in the settings when you‘re unsure. Or change them if you‘re having trouble. Some helpful tips: 1. Your objective is on the left of the screen right above your map. It shows you what you have to do to pass the level or get to the next stage. 2. Use Revelio EVERYWHERE! There‘s chests and stuff hidden around Hogwarts, the world and missions as well that contain galleons, items or potions (which can be super helpful in case you‘re running low on wiggenweld during a mission for example ;) 3. There‘s going to be a lot of fighting in this game. Don‘t give up if you fail! You‘ll get used to the controls the more you play :) but if you do get stuck, you can change the difficulty in the settings I believe. 4. The castle is extremely book accurate and absolutely beautiful! Explore every inch and remember revelio ;) 5. This game is set in the year 1890! So 100 years before the events of Harry Potter and about 35 years before fantastic beasts! So you won‘t meet any characters from the movies (except for maybe some ghosts?). But recognise some familiar names ;) 6. You won‘t be able to get into the other common rooms (as it‘s said in the books) but do make sure to look them up here on RUclips, they are all sooo beautiful! Especially because we haven’t gotten a glimpse of the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw common rooms in the movies. Though the Hufflepuff common room is, in my humble Hufflepuff opinion, the most beautiful one! It‘s so cozy
i am dyinnggg i love this Objective: Use protego to counter with stupefy! Oak: "there has to be an objective or SOMETHING" game: (look at your objective!) Also oak: "i dont know why it keeps saying that"
I’m not sure how present you guys are on the gaming scene but if a game called “Until Dawn” managed to slip everyones radar I think that would make a fantastic play through for you guys. Especially as a group with the lights down low, it’s a story based horror and somewhat light on gameplay so you guys could easily take turns without worrying about controls etc. Super excited for anything you guys will be putting out though, definitely the best reactors on RUclips.
Your genuine glee is so palpable at 18:32! 😆 "Look at me! I'm a WIZARD!" is exactly right lol. This game is bringing so much joy to HP fans everywhere. Love watching your joy, Oak!
A few tips: 1. Revelio is your best. friend. Use it constantly!!! You’ll discover SO much more. 2. Protego is your other best friend 😂 you’ve already seen some great advice and info on this, but the protego-hold-stupefy is a really helpful tool when you’re battling multiple foes at once. 3. Basic cast (RT) is useful for practically everything. Highlighted objects throughout the world, like pottery and crystals, can be broken/collected by using basic cast. As you learn more spells, you’ll get used to throwing everything in the book at random things around the map to see what’s revealed 😂 4. This world is HUGE and the side quests are numerous. This game has so many hidden gems and exploration is your friend when trying to complete your field guide. I’m so excited to continue watching you play Hogwarts Legacy! I’m 98% finished with my field guide and just trying to find the very last hidden pieces to complete it before going through the end of year feast and completing the main storyline. Stoked to continue the journey! I’ll have more tips for you I’m sure 😛
I think Oak missed the memo on the whole "when you have a golden halo/circle above your head, that means someone is about to attack you and you should "protego" to block it" XD
watching him learn through the tutorial battle was so stressful and gratifying at the same time - he was using stupify so naturally before they tried to teach it, I wanted to just shout at the screen to watch for the halo queue and to keep doing what he did before! This was so much fun to watch and it really took me back to my first playthrough and all the awe and excitement of discovering everything about the game :)
I never thought it would be so much fun watching someone lose over and over again while screaming through MY scream to wait for the yellow figures to come out for protego LOL!
Oak becoming a Harry Potter Stan is one of my favorite things I've ever experienced on RUclips. I LOVE that you made this channel and that you are playing this game. Its amazing!
Oh man, ever since the first harry potter reaction I was hoping so hard for oak to play this game! I never thought you guys would actually do it on yt, so excited for this! Hope you like the game, I absolutely loved it, and can’t wait for the next parts and other games!!
The in-game details are amazing. I just realized that in the opening scene, the character can only see the thestrals pulling the cart after the minster dies by the dragon.
Yo are we gonna talk about the Thestrals literally materialising after we just witnessed someone die in front of us I was like dang this game is going hard already.....
If you notice on the lower left side, it showed your objective which is to use protego to stupefy 3 to times. It therefore kept giving you guys to fight because it wanted you to use/practice your protego timing at least 3 times so you can practice countering (which you need to hit when the little yellow thing shows up above your character's head - it's a timing mechanic.) You can also always roll dodge but it really helps to learn how to counter with a spell for later. And I think you're hitting up on the directional pad that keeps popping up the message.
So, I follow a bunch of reaction channels, and for the last two or three years, when it gets close to Christmas, if a video pops up that I'm particularly excited to see, instead of watching it then and there I put it on a little Christmas playlist to be enjoyed while I'm off work. This just went to the top of the list.
I don't think you guys know how excited we all are about this... hope you have a great time with this, I have just started "hogwarts legacy" last week myself. TOO HYPED!!!
I may not know much about this game but i have watched my room mates play it and there are all sorts of references to not only the movies but the older games themselves that date all the way back to the ps1 games. Some spells and the castle exploration and puzzles really transfered over to this game but they outdid themselves. Its a loveletter to fans of the games, movies and books. Just an ultimate experience for HP fans. Love it!
Personally i love that the video wasnt all chopped up and we got to see everything also we gamers know theres always a learning curve to new games, you'll get the hang of it! Cant wait to see more!
Im not even a huge Harry Potter fan, I like it. But I dont think people that know me would call me a fan. But I have been loving this fuys "arc" lol Such a joy to watch
“Hold y during protego” doesn’t hold y a single time lmao. I guess I’m better at this game than I thought cause I was finished with those original knight guards in 5 mins lol. You got this oak!
This is awesome!! Did you catch that your character was able to see thestrals right after George (ministry guy) was eaten by the dragon in the intro, therefore seeing death? Love little tidbits like that.
Oh, how I've waited for Oak to play this game! The attention to detail is beyond amazing, for example at the beginning where we only got to see the Thestrals after we witnessed George's death. I'm on my third run (first Slytherin, then Hufflepuff, now Gryffindor) and it never gets boring, always ending up finding new little details I've missed before. I'm glad you guys are giving us gaming content now 💚🐍
Also sat here watching at 12:30am with my son fast asleep in the room trying not to shout at the tv 😂 “look for the symbol around you that’s when you protego!!!!” “Objectives are on the left!!!!!”So frustrating not being able to help!!!! The gamers curse!
This is fun. I love this game so much. It truly is a love letter to the fans. The opening scene still gives me chills. Mainly how your character see Thestrals is such a chefs kiss moment. My hubby isn’t a big HP fan but even he was impressed cause he knows the lore of how a person can see them.
1:15:25 The game playes before the "saga" we know so thats the reason they dont have any reocuring voices, but you can find a lot of the ancestors of the known charakters like voldemort or the weaslys
Tip: Don't spam protego lol. It's timing based, you will be punished by spamming. When you see the yellow circle around your characters head, that's your que to counter with protego, hold Y instead of taping it to do stupefy back at the enemies.
I clicked on this thinking I wasn't gonna watch the whole thing, but here I am, 2 hours later Glad to see you having fun. And I wouldn't bother having to apologize so much. Figuring stuff out at your own pace is always the best way to go, so don't don't worry if you think you're taking too long.
I love watching story gameplay videos that are 1-2 hours long with mostly no edits. Other games like shooters or games that don't normally have a story, those videos are more enjoyable with shorter time
ohh this is going to be a great series! I love the detail right in the first cutscene where your character can't see the thestrals at first and then they show up as he just saw someone die. It's a blink and you missed it kind of thing, but so accurate to the lore of the world
Excited for Oak to play Hogwarts!! There's only one game story I recommend for you guys to play. And that's the story of HALO. Get the 'Master Chief Collection' and play through the story. You guys won't regret it. You can even do the Campaign with the 4 of you. One mission at a time makes for great videos. Try it and see for yourself. You guys are awesome!!❤
I didn't expect this like at all... the fact yall now have a gaming channel is charming lol can't wait to see your take on this and future gaming narratives.
The problem with Oak's combat is that he's never played games like Spiderman, Arkham series or Shadow of Mordor so he doesn't know that the glowing effect above your head is an indicator to block or dodge an incoming attack, and since he doesn't know what the indicator is he just keeps getting smacked, I'm glad he caught on eventually tho lol. I'm sure he'll master the combat eventually.
@@davidbaye3758Ideally I think that’s what the first section of combat with the statues was supposed to show you, that once the orange circle appears around your head you have a very brief window of time to block an oncoming attack with protego. Your confusion was completely understandable since you flew through that part and the game never specifically explained it again, instead just moving on the next objective of wanting you to hold down the button to counter-attack with stupefy. Considering there’s a ton of combat in the game, it’s a good thing to learn now since you’ll want to use it so regularly as it’s your only defensive spell. Sorry this is getting long but just so you’re aware, with some enemies you’ll also be introduced soon to a red circle above your head which means the only way not to lose health is to dodge quickly (which you’ve already been doing), and sometimes in rather quick succession. Hope that’s in some way helpful, and fingers crossed might make the game less frustrating! At the end of the day we all (I’d hope) just want you to enjoy it! :) TLDR: Orange circle above head - oncoming attack, quickly use protego to block and optionally hold button down to counter-attack with stupefy. Alternatively, you could dodge. Red circle above head - oncoming attack - no way to defend other than dodging.
@davidbaye3758 You're fine lol, honestly I blame the objective you had for not being specific enough. It said "hold Y while using protego to counterattack" when holding Y is protego.. It should have said "Hold Y to use protego and quickly attack to do a counterattack with stupefy". That also confused me on my first time playing the game. Once you get it down tho the combat is extremely easy, the hard part will be combo-ing difference spells in the heat of combat but dodging and blocking will not be an issue anymore.
so hyped for you guys!~ and for you in particular boss!~ when this game dropped i spent well over 200 hours on it, i did everything in the game, 100% multiple playthroughs, and absolutely enjoyed it! cant wait to watch your playthrough of this!~
as im watching i come down to comment, and i know its like watching my dad try to game (i love it dont worry) but i just wanna be like "its ok its just the tutorial thingy trying to show you PURELY this one aspect" and hes too busy trying to murder them lol ^.^ this is going to be such a fun watch through!~ hope he doesnt get flustered by things. you got this mr oak!~ (continuing the video)
i cheered so loud when he got it lol, my dad (91) was laughing saying "it would have taken me a lot longer to just do as im told" and it did lol my dad was stuck on this for 2 hours lol YOU GOT THIS OAK~ we are watching your playthrough together and its a lot of fun. specially since we know you're a big fan of the Harry Potter (might have one more comment before the end)
final comment!~ absolutely loved watching this, hope to see more and whatever other games make the cut for the channel!~ now i see you uploaded a GTA 6 reaction, ill go cehck that out next!~ keep going guys you rock!~
Love this! Hogwarts Legacy is based in 1890 so the likes of Hagrid and Snape wouldn't have been around yet. But the headmaster in this, Phineas Nigellus Black (voiced by Simon Pegg here) did feature in the HP books.
Where I first played the games months back like in August? I didn't know Phineas Black and said "Oh! An ancestor of Sirius's" But after reading the books (through audio because of my adhd) I was like.... "PHINEAS IS DA YOU!?"
let's go!!!! I'm excited to see what games you play on this channel. Here are some suggestions for future videos Detroit Become Human Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 Gta 5 Gta 6 coming in 2025 Beyond Two Souls The Walking Dead seasons 1-4 soon to be 5 Ark Survival Evolved (open world survival game with dinosaurs) You can play with friends on a server or single player
I was literally playing Hogwarts legacy yesterday thinking about how cool it would be to see oak play this game. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to see a video.
Been looking forward to this for ages. And while I'd have been thrilled to see any of the guys play, I'm glad Oak is the one who gets first crack at this game.
I've never clicked on a video so fast when i saw this pop up on my feed. It was amazing to see you play this game and your commentary is brilliant! Love it!
It is easy to forget that the beginning segment is essentially a training sequence. It is so well done, it is easy to forget that it really is. Absolutely love the game. The spell access and control is outstanding to me. imho.
Not really open world just yet, he's stuck inside Hogwarts until he goes to Hogsmaede, even then, Higwarts has several locked areas and puzzles/etc that he won't understand yet, and there's only like 3 side quests pre-Hogsmeade (one being the long one of finding the gobstones, which can be done more efficiently while you explore later in game)
Oak ! You can’t imagine how happy that made me ! Thank you, thank you, thank you ! I’ve been stuck in bed for some weeks now due to my health deteriorating ( nothing can be done unfortunately) , but this is the only thing in weeks that changed my mind and brought me so much joy I couldn’t stop smiling 😅! Can’t wait for what’s coming next ☺️
I understand how difficult it must be when nothing can be done, but so glad you’ve found such a lovely distraction and I really hope this difficult time will pass for you. Fingers crossed for things looking up in the future, feel better soon ❤️
@@BaddMedicineArcade it’s complicated but thank you so much for bringing so much good vibes in your videos and always being so positive and uplifting it means a lot to many people myself included, your videos always bring a smile to me 😁
@@annabelgodwin4862 hi, yeah it’s difficult to manage to be honest, knowing it won’t and can’t get better, I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, it’s not well known so don’t worry if you don’t know what is it but basically I dislocate all my articulation all the time for literally no reason more to a slightly wrong movement/ orientation, a lot of chronic pain and lungs and kidneys issues amongst other things, I have been diagnosed 6 years ago now ( I’m 23) but it’s been progressing so rapidly this year and even more these last few weeks, I can’t walk anymore without dislocating my knees or hip so I’m gonna have to start to use a wheelchair permanently, I’m trying to keep good spirits but it’s been hard, there so much I still wanted to do but it progressed to rapidly, so yeah we’ll see when it’s stabilise itself what will become my new normal and what to do from there, thank you so much for your kind message 🤍
Did anyone ever end up telling Oak that he was in a tutorial and he just had to do stupefy 3 times by holding down Y (which is protego), and the knights were infinite until he did it 3 times? xD I think he thought he like beat an army of them haha. Great mental fortitude and willpower to get through that! Proud of ya!
Loved this Oak, when it popped up I subbed immediately. I spent quite a while getting used to the spells etc and I dropped to easy for the first couple of hours until I got used to the controls 😊 the game does help you out though so pay attention to the prompts and have fun..we sure will watching your hogwarts journey...

Guys, you should put the game on your description box like other gaming channels does for officiality and could help with the algorithm.
I really urge you guys to switch to PC setups, (for the next games) good PC will provide so much better quality. Also you can always play on controller even on PC. :)
Let's go! Excited to watch
Am glad you guys are starting a gaming channel. Haven't played through this game yet so im going to refrain from watching this until i finish it but im excited to see your reactions to it once i complete it.

Thank you for the kind words 🙏 -Oak
I agree

This comment unfortunately lets me know I have another 5 minutes of pain to endure... XD
ikr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact Appleton Oak sounds like a wizarding world name.
Most important piece of advice I can give is this: don't forget that you are playing a game for enjoyment and we're just here to watch you enjoy it, so don't feel pressured into playing the game in any manner other than how YOU would play it - feel free to explore if you want or rush to the objectives if you wanna do that instead.

I don't know if I have ever been more excited seeing someone play a particular game than I am about Oak playing this game.

I've done nothing but binge-watching over a dozen reactor videos. But to see OAK doing this!? What a surprise!
I loved how the Thestral started appearing after the MC processed that he had seen death
I think it’s also for us as the viewer to also see death and be able to see the thestrals, that way we can see them for the rest of the game. Very thought out
Oak: "Ahh, all I had to do is listen to the instructions". After finally figuring it out. That one got me good😂 Congrats✌🏻
Revelio constantly is the best advise I can give! Don't be hard on yourself, there were definitely a few spots that had me frustrated. I hope you enjoy!

“I feel like I’m playing a new movie here”. That right there is why I love video games. Can’t wait to see all the other series you guys start!

Always really exiting for me when someone explores a new genre because they all have a bit of an underlying gameplay logic you take for granted knowing already as a veteran where as a newby needs to learn them.

The amount of people who play this game who don't bother reading whats on the screen in front of them 🤦♂️
The reason that pop up was happening during the big fight is because you weren't following the objective. You had to use Stupefy on 3 enemies
It had it on the screen too 😭
Honestly you guys starting this channel and oak playing hogwarts legacy is the best Christmas gift I don’t need anything else 😂😂
Omg can’t believe you guys are playing this. I LOVE this game. The atmosphere, environment, music. It’s all incredible truly a fantastic game for fans exactly what we needed
Oak came from not caring about Harry Potter to being a super fan! I'm excited to see Oak experience this!
Dang I was excited when he got Hufflepuff because he'd get all the extra missions but he switched up real quick lol
Oak: Didn't think this would be a fighting game
Me: I cannot wait for him to see the "green" spells.
My favorite thing to come out of the Badd Medicine channel is The Oak's character arc of being a Harry Potter skeptic to full on fanboy. And seeing him play Hogwarts Legacy is the cherry on top.
There's just something about a guy who looks like Oak (that some people would probably stereotype as just a 'gym bro') but is actually just the sweetest dude who's having fun playing a videogame, that really gets me.
Hi oak. A bit of information here. Phineas Nigellus Black is in the books a tiny bit. He is the headmaster in the game so in the books he is one of the portraits on Dumbledores's office. Every headmaster of Hogwarts is in that office and they must be loyal and help the current headmaster. The rest you have to learn it by yourself.
“There we go! I’m a wizard!” I love that he is experiencing this
You‘re doing great, Oak! :) we’ve all had to get used to the controls. They are a lot, take your time to get used to them and you‘ll get there! Don‘t hesitate to look them up again in the settings when you‘re unsure. Or change them if you‘re having trouble.
Some helpful tips:
1. Your objective is on the left of the screen right above your map. It shows you what you have to do to pass the level or get to the next stage.
2. Use Revelio EVERYWHERE! There‘s chests and stuff hidden around Hogwarts, the world and missions as well that contain galleons, items or potions (which can be super helpful in case you‘re running low on wiggenweld during a mission for example ;)
3. There‘s going to be a lot of fighting in this game. Don‘t give up if you fail! You‘ll get used to the controls the more you play :) but if you do get stuck, you can change the difficulty in the settings I believe.
4. The castle is extremely book accurate and absolutely beautiful! Explore every inch and remember revelio ;)
5. This game is set in the year 1890! So 100 years before the events of Harry Potter and about 35 years before fantastic beasts! So you won‘t meet any characters from the movies (except for maybe some ghosts?). But recognise some familiar names ;)
6. You won‘t be able to get into the other common rooms (as it‘s said in the books) but do make sure to look them up here on RUclips, they are all sooo beautiful! Especially because we haven’t gotten a glimpse of the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw common rooms in the movies. Though the Hufflepuff common room is, in my humble Hufflepuff opinion, the most beautiful one! It‘s so cozy
I loved this!!! I left some tips too and I’m sooo glad to see a comment with these ones!🙏🏼 can’t wait to watch Oak progress in the game 🎮⚡️
i am dyinnggg i love this
Objective: Use protego to counter with stupefy!
Oak: "there has to be an objective or SOMETHING"
game: (look at your objective!)
Also oak: "i dont know why it keeps saying that"
I’m not sure how present you guys are on the gaming scene but if a game called “Until Dawn” managed to slip everyones radar I think that would make a fantastic play through for you guys. Especially as a group with the lights down low, it’s a story based horror and somewhat light on gameplay so you guys could easily take turns without worrying about controls etc.
Super excited for anything you guys will be putting out though, definitely the best reactors on RUclips.
I guess they read your comment haha
Not me crying at the screen basically beggin' our man to follow the objective. 😭😂
Perfect way for me to spend my work day… er, I mean I will watch this later. Yeah, that’s what I meant.
Your genuine glee is so palpable at 18:32! 😆 "Look at me! I'm a WIZARD!" is exactly right lol. This game is bringing so much joy to HP fans everywhere. Love watching your joy, Oak!
I've loved getting to watch Oak become such a huge Harry Potter fan!
Have no joke binge watched almost every video y’all have done on the other channel and just found this! Ik I’ll love this one too!
A few tips:
1. Revelio is your best. friend. Use it constantly!!! You’ll discover SO much more.
2. Protego is your other best friend 😂 you’ve already seen some great advice and info on this, but the protego-hold-stupefy is a really helpful tool when you’re battling multiple foes at once.
3. Basic cast (RT) is useful for practically everything. Highlighted objects throughout the world, like pottery and crystals, can be broken/collected by using basic cast. As you learn more spells, you’ll get used to throwing everything in the book at random things around the map to see what’s revealed 😂
4. This world is HUGE and the side quests are numerous. This game has so many hidden gems and exploration is your friend when trying to complete your field guide.
I’m so excited to continue watching you play Hogwarts Legacy! I’m 98% finished with my field guide and just trying to find the very last hidden pieces to complete it before going through the end of year feast and completing the main storyline.
Stoked to continue the journey! I’ll have more tips for you I’m sure 😛
Happy you guys are doing this, can't wait for what's to come!!!
LOVE THIS!!! Oak playing Hogwarts Legacy is something I didn't know I needed. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!
I think Oak missed the memo on the whole "when you have a golden halo/circle above your head, that means someone is about to attack you and you should "protego" to block it" XD
Had no clue until today!!! - Oak
watching him learn through the tutorial battle was so stressful and gratifying at the same time - he was using stupify so naturally before they tried to teach it, I wanted to just shout at the screen to watch for the halo queue and to keep doing what he did before! This was so much fun to watch and it really took me back to my first playthrough and all the awe and excitement of discovering everything about the game :)
I never thought it would be so much fun watching someone lose over and over again while screaming through MY scream to wait for the yellow figures to come out for protego LOL!
Oak becoming a Harry Potter Stan is one of my favorite things I've ever experienced on RUclips. I LOVE that you made this channel and that you are playing this game. Its amazing!
That was the most painful frustrating experience, like watching a guy pushing on a door that says 'pulls 😂
This is a dream come true. Of all the games I’d want to see you play, Oak, this is THE #1!!!
Lots of little hidden things to search for. Pottery can be broken. Chests can be found. One of my favorite parts of these games.
LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS GAME IS SO SICK IF U LOVE HOGWARTS SEEING IT IN SCALE IS AMAZING :D
Somebody call the doctor, because Professor Sprout is on leave! 😂
Can't wait for the Journey, Oak. :)
your objective was above your mini map, cast protego to stupefy 3 times, and you chose to just dodge which is why enemies kept respawning.
Oh man, ever since the first harry potter reaction I was hoping so hard for oak to play this game! I never thought you guys would actually do it on yt, so excited for this! Hope you like the game, I absolutely loved it, and can’t wait for the next parts and other games!!
The in-game details are amazing. I just realized that in the opening scene, the character can only see the thestrals pulling the cart after the minster dies by the dragon.
“There’s gotta be an objective” I DIED 🤣
Yo are we gonna talk about the Thestrals literally materialising after we just witnessed someone die in front of us I was like dang this game is going hard already.....
If you notice on the lower left side, it showed your objective which is to use protego to stupefy 3 to times. It therefore kept giving you guys to fight because it wanted you to use/practice your protego timing at least 3 times so you can practice countering (which you need to hit when the little yellow thing shows up above your character's head - it's a timing mechanic.) You can also always roll dodge but it really helps to learn how to counter with a spell for later.
And I think you're hitting up on the directional pad that keeps popping up the message.
Looking forward to not only this video/playthrough, but the future of this channel! Lets go!
So, I follow a bunch of reaction channels, and for the last two or three years, when it gets close to Christmas, if a video pops up that I'm particularly excited to see, instead of watching it then and there I put it on a little Christmas playlist to be enjoyed while I'm off work. This just went to the top of the list.
Oak looking overwhelmed in the character creator "okay wow, this is the whole deal. Isn't it?"
I don't think you guys know how excited we all are about this... hope you have a great time with this, I have just started "hogwarts legacy" last week myself. TOO HYPED!!!
I am so addicted to this game. I just keep restarting over and over and over.
I may not know much about this game but i have watched my room mates play it and there are all sorts of references to not only the movies but the older games themselves that date all the way back to the ps1 games. Some spells and the castle exploration and puzzles really transfered over to this game but they outdid themselves. Its a loveletter to fans of the games, movies and books. Just an ultimate experience for HP fans. Love it!
Personally i love that the video wasnt all chopped up and we got to see everything also we gamers know theres always a learning curve to new games, you'll get the hang of it!
Cant wait to see more!
Im not even a huge Harry Potter fan, I like it. But I dont think people that know me would call me a fan. But I have been loving this fuys "arc" lol
Such a joy to watch
“Hold y during protego” doesn’t hold y a single time lmao. I guess I’m better at this game than I thought cause I was finished with those original knight guards in 5 mins lol. You got this oak!
This is awesome!! Did you catch that your character was able to see thestrals right after George (ministry guy) was eaten by the dragon in the intro, therefore seeing death? Love little tidbits like that.
Oh, how I've waited for Oak to play this game! The attention to detail is beyond amazing, for example at the beginning where we only got to see the Thestrals after we witnessed George's death. I'm on my third run (first Slytherin, then Hufflepuff, now Gryffindor) and it never gets boring, always ending up finding new little details I've missed before. I'm glad you guys are giving us gaming content now 💚🐍
Also sat here watching at 12:30am with my son fast asleep in the room trying not to shout at the tv 😂 “look for the symbol around you that’s when you protego!!!!” “Objectives are on the left!!!!!”So frustrating not being able to help!!!! The gamers curse!
This is fun. I love this game so much. It truly is a love letter to the fans. The opening scene still gives me chills. Mainly how your character see Thestrals is such a chefs kiss moment. My hubby isn’t a big HP fan but even he was impressed cause he knows the lore of how a person can see them.
Lol Oak we've all been there playing games! You just gotta do what they tell you haha
1:15:25 The game playes before the "saga" we know so thats the reason they dont have any reocuring voices, but you can find a lot of the ancestors of the known charakters like voldemort or the weaslys
Tip: Don't spam protego lol. It's timing based, you will be punished by spamming. When you see the yellow circle around your characters head, that's your que to counter with protego, hold Y instead of taping it to do stupefy back at the enemies.
I clicked on this thinking I wasn't gonna watch the whole thing, but here I am, 2 hours later
Glad to see you having fun. And I wouldn't bother having to apologize so much. Figuring stuff out at your own pace is always the best way to go, so don't don't worry if you think you're taking too long.
I love watching story gameplay videos that are 1-2 hours long with mostly no edits.
Other games like shooters or games that don't normally have a story, those videos are more enjoyable with shorter time
ohh this is going to be a great series! I love the detail right in the first cutscene where your character can't see the thestrals at first and then they show up as he just saw someone die. It's a blink and you missed it kind of thing, but so accurate to the lore of the world
Man that soldier dude fight made me wish he had live streamed this so we could yell at him about using proteggo when his dude perked up.
Excited for Oak to play Hogwarts!!
There's only one game story I recommend for you guys to play. And that's the story of HALO. Get the 'Master Chief Collection' and play through the story. You guys won't regret it. You can even do the Campaign with the 4 of you. One mission at a time makes for great videos. Try it and see for yourself. You guys are awesome!!❤
Halo would be awesome
Yes!!!! I second this 10000% Halo is soo good and I feel like these guys would really love it
Ahhh I'm so excited for this!!!
Love the video! The story takes place 1890. Def before the books and before the teachers were used to are around. Excited for the playthrough!
I didn't expect this like at all... the fact yall now have a gaming channel is charming lol can't wait to see your take on this and future gaming narratives.
The problem with Oak's combat is that he's never played games like Spiderman, Arkham series or Shadow of Mordor so he doesn't know that the glowing effect above your head is an indicator to block or dodge an incoming attack, and since he doesn't know what the indicator is he just keeps getting smacked, I'm glad he caught on eventually tho lol. I'm sure he'll master the combat eventually.
Wait whaaaaaat!!!! -Oak
@@davidbaye3758Ideally I think that’s what the first section of combat with the statues was supposed to show you, that once the orange circle appears around your head you have a very brief window of time to block an oncoming attack with protego. Your confusion was completely understandable since you flew through that part and the game never specifically explained it again, instead just moving on the next objective of wanting you to hold down the button to counter-attack with stupefy.
Considering there’s a ton of combat in the game, it’s a good thing to learn now since you’ll want to use it so regularly as it’s your only defensive spell. Sorry this is getting long but just so you’re aware, with some enemies you’ll also be introduced soon to a red circle above your head which means the only way not to lose health is to dodge quickly (which you’ve already been doing), and sometimes in rather quick succession.
Hope that’s in some way helpful, and fingers crossed might make the game less frustrating! At the end of the day we all (I’d hope) just want you to enjoy it! :)
TLDR:
Orange circle above head - oncoming attack, quickly use protego to block and optionally hold button down to counter-attack with stupefy. Alternatively, you could dodge.
Red circle above head - oncoming attack - no way to defend other than dodging.
@davidbaye3758 You're fine lol, honestly I blame the objective you had for not being specific enough. It said "hold Y while using protego to counterattack" when holding Y is protego.. It should have said "Hold Y to use protego and quickly attack to do a counterattack with stupefy". That also confused me on my first time playing the game. Once you get it down tho the combat is extremely easy, the hard part will be combo-ing difference spells in the heat of combat but dodging and blocking will not be an issue anymore.
so hyped for you guys!~ and for you in particular boss!~ when this game dropped i spent well over 200 hours on it, i did everything in the game, 100% multiple playthroughs, and absolutely enjoyed it! cant wait to watch your playthrough of this!~
as im watching i come down to comment, and i know its like watching my dad try to game (i love it dont worry) but i just wanna be like "its ok its just the tutorial thingy trying to show you PURELY this one aspect" and hes too busy trying to murder them lol ^.^ this is going to be such a fun watch through!~ hope he doesnt get flustered by things. you got this mr oak!~ (continuing the video)
i cheered so loud when he got it lol, my dad (91) was laughing saying "it would have taken me a lot longer to just do as im told" and it did lol my dad was stuck on this for 2 hours lol YOU GOT THIS OAK~ we are watching your playthrough together and its a lot of fun. specially since we know you're a big fan of the Harry Potter (might have one more comment before the end)
final comment!~ absolutely loved watching this, hope to see more and whatever other games make the cut for the channel!~ now i see you uploaded a GTA 6 reaction, ill go cehck that out next!~ keep going guys you rock!~
Love this! Hogwarts Legacy is based in 1890 so the likes of Hagrid and Snape wouldn't have been around yet. But the headmaster in this, Phineas Nigellus Black (voiced by Simon Pegg here) did feature in the HP books.
Where I first played the games months back like in August? I didn't know Phineas Black and said "Oh! An ancestor of Sirius's" But after reading the books (through audio because of my adhd) I was like.... "PHINEAS IS DA YOU!?"
let's go!!!! I'm excited to see what games you play on this channel. Here are some suggestions for future videos
Detroit Become Human
Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2
Gta 5
Gta 6 coming in 2025
Beyond Two Souls
The Walking Dead seasons 1-4 soon to be 5
Ark Survival Evolved (open world survival game with dinosaurs) You can play with friends on a server or single player
I was literally playing Hogwarts legacy yesterday thinking about how cool it would be to see oak play this game. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to see a video.
OMG!! I didnt know you guys have this other channel! This just randomly popped on my YT home screen! Definitely following right away!!!
Been looking forward to this for ages. And while I'd have been thrilled to see any of the guys play, I'm glad Oak is the one who gets first crack at this game.
I've never clicked on a video so fast when i saw this pop up on my feed. It was amazing to see you play this game and your commentary is brilliant! Love it!
"This is where the fun begins"- Anakin Skywalker
It is easy to forget that the beginning segment is essentially a training sequence.
It is so well done, it is easy to forget that it really is.
Absolutely love the game. The spell access and control is outstanding to me. imho.
I can't wait till he realizes the game is an open world and he can explore everything without having to follow the main questline.
Not really open world just yet, he's stuck inside Hogwarts until he goes to Hogsmaede, even then, Higwarts has several locked areas and puzzles/etc that he won't understand yet, and there's only like 3 side quests pre-Hogsmeade (one being the long one of finding the gobstones, which can be done more efficiently while you explore later in game)
@@oyasumiihi Fair I only did one play-through and then quit so you’ve likely got a better understanding than me tbh
This is awesome! Hope Oak plays the whole game! This game takes place in the late 1800s, so no HP characters, except ghosts
I’m here for the long haul! -Oak
@@davidbaye3758 As a fellow Hufflepuff I'm disappointed you went Gryffindor, but I hope you have a blast! Take your time and explore :)
LETS GOOOOO!!!! Absolutely love your guy's primary channel can't wait to see how the gaming channel grows
I really enjoyed this game! I was really frustrated when I first fought the statues as well. It was fun watching you!
Don't worry about the name spelling error. If anything, Appeton Oak sounds more like a wizard name.
The frustration bc of the non stop spawning of guardians 😂 this is great guys!
Yeeeees! What a nice early Christmas present!
Oak ! You can’t imagine how happy that made me ! Thank you, thank you, thank you ! I’ve been stuck in bed for some weeks now due to my health deteriorating ( nothing can be done unfortunately) , but this is the only thing in weeks that changed my mind and brought me so much joy I couldn’t stop smiling 😅! Can’t wait for what’s coming next ☺️
Sorry to hear get well soon ☺️😊
We hope everything is ok!
I understand how difficult it must be when nothing can be done, but so glad you’ve found such a lovely distraction and I really hope this difficult time will pass for you. Fingers crossed for things looking up in the future, feel better soon ❤️
@@BaddMedicineArcade it’s complicated but thank you so much for bringing so much good vibes in your videos and always being so positive and uplifting it means a lot to many people myself included, your videos always bring a smile to me 😁
@@annabelgodwin4862 hi, yeah it’s difficult to manage to be honest, knowing it won’t and can’t get better, I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, it’s not well known so don’t worry if you don’t know what is it but basically I dislocate all my articulation all the time for literally no reason more to a slightly wrong movement/ orientation, a lot of chronic pain and lungs and kidneys issues amongst other things, I have been diagnosed 6 years ago now ( I’m 23) but it’s been progressing so rapidly this year and even more these last few weeks, I can’t walk anymore without dislocating my knees or hip so I’m gonna have to start to use a wheelchair permanently, I’m trying to keep good spirits but it’s been hard, there so much I still wanted to do but it progressed to rapidly, so yeah we’ll see when it’s stabilise itself what will become my new normal and what to do from there, thank you so much for your kind message 🤍
Did anyone ever end up telling Oak that he was in a tutorial and he just had to do stupefy 3 times by holding down Y (which is protego), and the knights were infinite until he did it 3 times? xD I think he thought he like beat an army of them haha. Great mental fortitude and willpower to get through that! Proud of ya!
Oh hell yes, so excited for this. I enjoyed this game so much
Loved this Oak, when it popped up I subbed immediately. I spent quite a while getting used to the spells etc and I dropped to easy for the first couple of hours until I got used to the controls 😊 the game does help you out though so pay attention to the prompts and have fun..we sure will watching your hogwarts journey...
