      It does have a release date - Feb 10th 2023. Having said that I understand the scepticism on pre-ordering especially that far out. What I like about Amazon is you can lock in your price and cancel right up until a few days before. They don't charge any deposit or anything at all until it ships.

      • King Steuart on 07/11/2022 - 12:39

    Given all the negative press up to this point, I have a suspicion this game is going to end up in the bargain bin after a few months post release.

          JK Rowling has no involvement in this game.

          • PoxyRadical on 07/11/2022 - 16:34

            @JimmyLmao: I mean, she created the IP.

            • JimmyLmao on 07/11/2022 - 17:55

              @PoxyRadical: Yeah but they're just working within that world, telling a new story, with no input from JK Rowling.

          • MunkyAU on 07/11/2022 - 17:30

            @JimmyLmao: She definitely cashes the royalty checks from it.

            • JimmyLmao on 07/11/2022 - 17:54

              @MunkyAU: True, though by boycotting this you'd be doing a lot more harm to innocent/passionate game devs, as opposed to impacting JK Rowlings bottom line.

                @JimmyLmao: Nobody seriously boycotted the game anyway. It is selling extremely well. The only people who called for a boycott are the usual suspects like “woke” activists that find a problem with everything.

                My recommendation for anyone who does not like JKRs politics and cannot stand the thought that she is set to cash in on the proceeds for this game: don’t buy it. But also do not spoil the fun others are having with this wonderful game. Remember that people have the right to a different opinion or not to care about the “issue” in the first place. That would include me.

            @JimmyLmao: Correct, not to mention it's set in the 1800s so before the books really. Sure they'll have the locations etc but completely new story

        • carlordau on 08/11/2022 - 02:37

          Not that at all. Some people will call for a boycott. Those are the people that were probably never buying the game and those that do want the game, don't care about that. There has been some criticism about lack of Quidditch, but the game is terrible anyway, so it doesn't matter.

          It is more the several delays of the game, Avalanche Studio games are all mid, controversy from one of the former-lead designer's views, what has been released has pretty meh aesthetically and looks like it is throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the game but it definitely taps the nostalgia well, and there has been a bit of a flip flop over microtransactions for game that is meant to be single-player no online play (the latest is that no it won't but who knows).

      I thought this game was getting great press? When did the negative press happen and what was it about?

    • hamwhisperer on 15/02/2023 - 09:56

      A large portion of the negative press is by far left wing gaming journalists with an axe to grind against J K Rowling. The gaming press has demonstrated time and time again their left slant (for reference, I am left, despite this post)

      They take it to 11 with culture war bullshit. Just review the game. Sure JK Rowling does seem to be intent on saying stuff which is not very pleasant but if that pisses you off that much, don't play or review it, the negative backlash is crazy.

      I don't even like Harry Potter, I think it's fine. Who knows? But be wary, a lot of the negative press is culture war stuff, not actual genuine game opinion stuff.

    • NatoTomato on 15/02/2023 - 10:08

      Touch grass, it's a great game. If you don't want to play it due to J.K, fine, but there's a lot of people who grew up on Harry Potter that are happy to have such a good RPG.

    • maxbon on 15/02/2023 - 11:21

      Pretty much every game ends up in the bargain bin after a year or so. What matters are the sales in the days and weeks after release. And that’s where I think you are wrong. The game is selling extremely well. It is probably going to rake in more than 10 million copies sold in a matter of days and 20 million by the end of the year. Which is extremely impressive for a single-player game.

      Oh and evidently, no one but the usual outrage-happy suspects gives a damn about a boycott. Which doesn’t even make sense in the first place. The game bends over backwards to be “diverse”. They even have a transvestite character. And forget about hurting JKR by not buying this game. She has long reached financial escape velocity and can say what’s on her mind without worrying about being cancelled.

      Eh, Amazon make it pretty easy and risk free. Just cancelled my GoW Ragnarok preorder I'd had since July because it was only a few bucks cheaper than local store and I'd rather not wait for that one, but it didn't cost me a thing to keep the option open.

    Shame it's not a full blown MMORPG.

    • JimmyLmao on 07/11/2022 - 15:51

      While that would be awesome, it'd be a pretty different experience. Imagine Elder Scrolls Online vs Skyrim. I think an MMO Hogwarts Legacy would certainly have it's place, but couldn't replace a full single player experience. I'd love to see multiplayer elements added though, even if just being to teleport to some sort of arena.

        That's correct. In-game you will earn heaps of cosmetic items. (lots similar style to the hat).
        If you could save an extra $10 using JB price match + perks. This hat (IMO) is not worth $10 lol.

    • nobro25 on 10/02/2023 - 10:54

        It offers a lot of graphics modes. I personally find the 40 fps (“balanced”) mode to be the best compromise.

    Ragnarok delivery was delayed a week and now Hogwarts Legacy said delayed also. Being the weekend would prob come Mon or Tues.

      Yeah I was hoping to play this weekend, but Amazon was estimating delivery next week. So cancelled my Amazon order and just got JB to price match. Order was ready for C&C within 5 mins.

    • Vool on 10/02/2023 - 12:01

      I'm getting live chat on the JB website to price match. Used it a few times without issue, just do a click and collect order and I'll grab it after work.

      Live chat matched no issues, put the order through and immediately got a message saying my order is ready to collect. As a bonus I had a $10 birthday voucher so it was even cheaper!

    I was going to wait to buy this game when it's cheaper next year, but someone spoiled the ending for me on Facebook, someone who in their profile pic was wearing lipstick, makeup, and had their hair in a ponytail but otherwise looked quite masculine, so I think I'd better preorder it while I still can.

      For some people, depending on their location, Amazon never delivers on launch day. If you want a game on launch day you're usually better off walking in to EB or JB on the day.

        Doesn't help the game launched on a Friday.

    This game seems to be selling very well, so it comes as a surprise that they are discounting it already.

    I had bought the game digitally on Friday. It’s great fan service with vast and very detailed locations in and around Hogwarts to explore. Graphics are really good - perhaps with the exception of facial animations, where some lesser characters have not received the same level of detail as the main characters. Nothing too dramatic though, just not cutting edge in this area. All in all a great game to sink many hours into and remember your childhood when the Harry Potter books and movies were a big thing.

    This game is really overhyped. The world itself looks amazing, but the story and game play itself are really quite underwhelming so far.

    • maxbon on 15/02/2023 - 14:00
      +1

      Let’s just say: it has some of the typical open world problems. Like some side quests to fetch something from somewhere. Or to fight the same type of enemies over and over again. And there is the typical over-populated world where dark wizard camps, dangerous monsters etc. are just a stone throw distance away from Hogwarts castle - and nobody seems to notice.

      But I tell you what: that’s totally not the point of this game. Which is that after 20 years of waiting, we can finally explore every corner of Hogwarts castle. I would have bought the game just for that. The story is just the cherry on top.
