  • I have to say it and be as honest as possible on this channel. Hogwarts Legacy is boring, lifeless and doesn't live up to the expectation at all for me. Watch the video to find out why.

    For the first 5 hours, this game is great, but as you get the mid-game, you get overwhelmed with repetitive tasks. Even if people want a game where they don't have to think much they would still get bored. Hogwarts is so wonderful in this game and instead of doing more with it the player has to go to some ruins. I feel like Red Dead Redemption 2 creators had more ideas. With the Harry Potter game, creators were like,' We can put anything together, and still, sales will go through the roof'.

    I agree. When I first started playing, I was amazed in how detailed and beautiful the world was, but after you start walking around the world freely, it just feels incredibly empty. The only interaction with the world comes from quests, but most of the game, like most RPGs, is spent running around or flying - so it just feels empty. It's a beautiful, empty shell of a game.

    I was so excited to play this game I don't know why as I am not a major harry potter fan but there was hype and I like open world RPGS. I bought an xbox series x as my PC was not strong enough to handle it. So not only did I waste money on the PC version I can't refund but also the xbox version. It is so boring, it is not an rpg and I just feel it is just a kids game dressed up to be something amazing. There is far too much pointless cut scenes for me and dialogue you just skip and when you get to the action it is over in seconds becuase it is just too easy. Like using a spell to become invisible to sneak past the prefects to get to the library with absolutely no challenge and then any dual is mostly easy once you learn what you need to do.

    Yesterday I played (and I use that term pretty loosely, killed time would be more accurate) Hogwarts Legacy for the first time since finishing it 10 months ago. I just assumed between last May and March 2024 that there would have been an update of SOME KIND to the game. Nada. Zilch. Zero. I walked around for about 30 minutes killing everything in sight, and doing a few Merlin's Trials before remembering how generally boring the game was and turning it off.
    I know most of the developers of this game were new to the gaming world and as such were very protective of their first product especially with it being so successful but the stance of not adding ANY additional content and absolutley looking like no chance of a sequel almost make me feel like the attitude was, "We've made a wizarding world game for modern day consoles. Done! Now we can go back to making quizzes on Pottermore".
    The story was boring as all get out and pretty convoluted and stupid, our main characters were given the personality of a piece of wood and while the exploration was fun while you had a campaign to get through, after it's all said and done when you walk around you just get this sense of loneliness and boredom. A nice feature would have been to have a travelling companion after the story was complete if you so chose to do that.
    I know a lot of people, me included would have liked the idea of a Relationships feature in the game or in a sequel, but that would create a whole load of other things, and given the tone of Hogwarts Legacy I could hardly see it happening.
    To some up, I adored the game the first 6 or so weeks of playing it but as I neared the end of the story and after completing it I just felt really empty, walking around doing Merlin's Trials and Side Quests that take no account that you've actually finished the story mean unless something crazy I won't be turning this game on ever again.

    • @GamingGoose
      @GamingGoose  7 месяцев назад +2

      It's a huge let down isn't it as the mechanics are there and they're great but the storylines are horrendously dull. The side quests are non existent and it just doesn't have anything to grab you. I went into the forest just to find things to fight and that got boring, quick

    I'm just a few hours in, long before getting the broom - this game had such a great start and I was really into it but already it feels like a chore - collect 16 of these, find 20 of these, here are some mirrors, here are some spirals on the ground, here are some flying keys, run 5 times in a circle and shoot the blue pumpkin...
    The world feels like an open world with so much randomly placed busy-work and collectibles. I'd love a stripped down "no nonsense" game that's just a third of the playtime but leaves out all these kinds of stuff

    • @GamingGoose

      Disagree on that. Why should I be forced to use more powerful gear if I hate how it looks. I think every rpg or game should give you the option to change the appearance of the gear if you don’t like the new gear’s appearance. This was always a problem in many RPGs iv played because there were often times the new gear I got didn’t look as cool.

    I played the game for 1 hour, got the game for £20, put the game down, felt bored, didn't want to play more. Came back did 10 hours, most engaging part was fighting the spiders, ended up before Matriachs, out of health potions didn't remeber how to use the others, few spells as I went exploring early and low health struggling to fight.
    I wish they had set bonuses, made the wand adjustments make a difference to power or balance or speed. Teach you how to upgrade stuff, I have no idea. Let you throw magic at people from the broom, my misses also seemed to have a destructive streak and wanted me to use magic to destroy stuff or kill off the sheeps for mutton but they are immortal, stronger then the dark wizards. Put the difficulty on hard and it felt like fighting or=n easy or normal.

    The game was basically rated E. Too safe. If the game had a morality or alignment mechanic, where I could chose to be good or evil, then that would make a massive difference in the gameplay, making it more RPG like. However, what I found was that HL was more ore less like an Harry Potter themed amusement park walking simulator. It's boring af! It's worth no more than 10 bucks tbh

A jacket or a hat😂 the classes are lame and pretty much pointless same with the charachters outside…no interaction whatsoever…the world…everything is already mapped out for you so all you have to do is go collect stuff…the outside bosses dont even level up with you Im level 38 still fighting level 25 on hard mode😂 it has potential and its a gorgeous world but unfortunately the wrong people created this game…it should be totally open ended and the relationships and choices and classes you take should effect the outcome of your charachter….The vivariums are kinda cool but breeding is pointless…I dont think this game is worth the 80$ they want to charge you for it and glad I got it onsale….TOTK is harder then this game this hogwarts legacy is a 5/10 MAX

My wife was more interested than I was.. so we got it, created characters and goofed off. Now that was fun to sit side by side and explore the world and doing challenges and stuff..i typically play games on hard.. and this game on hard was EZ PZ. Once i realized you could stack traits, i literally ran around with concentration III and felt like i was destroying everything in my path.. im really bored.. i just want to beat the game so i can be done with it.

    I agree with most of this and thought after the first 10ish hours it became a boring game, but people rating it a 1/10 are beyond delusional. If you get the game for sale this is potentially a 6.0/10 or maybe slightly more depending on how much you like Harry Potter. This is also their first open world rpg and they confirmed to be working on a sequel with a new engine. I think they are capable of using this as a base and considering there arent THAT many settings in harry potter the next game will hopefully be a better version of the first being twice as detailed with way more meaningful things to do. If you see some of the featured cut out of the game it did have more rpg/ role play elements with being good or bad. Hoping its the first thing they work on the next game.

This game has no pull, the main story is drip feed in the opening so slowly I just cant care about it - ok so I got some beef with a troll or whatever. Then you are forced through like 2 hours of these boring tutorials explaining game mechanics that anyone who is alive and gaming in 2024 already can figure out without a tutorial. Couple it with these lenghty, boring dialog screens. After half an hour I just skip them since they have NOTHING interesting to say. Id say the combat isnt all to bad, but is so bog standard and vanilla that it dosent cut it to make me play more. So then what is there - no story to engage us, no fun gameplay, just a bunch of pretty static open worlds to walk around and look at. It is the most boring game in a long while, I dont at all get why people are raving on about it

I also like how you don't want to personalize your character and just assume that everyone doesn't like it just like you. I mean, I don't like onions, but does that mean that they are terrible and that everyone should dislike them? Honestly, you are entitled to your opinion, but i would rate it 8 out of 10, not perfect by any means, but still a personal favorite of mine.

      It's great if you loved the game and I agree everyone has different goals from a game and its great to see people have enjoyed it. For me I enjoyed the films and just felt the game lacked any decent storylines it was mainly classes then fighting trolls or statues. They should have added some really interesting side quests, for example I finally found the train station and it was empty, no quests or anything to interact with. That for me was a big let down unfortunately.
