      boooooo!

  • +9

    Wow - this is great value for what is a pretty feature packed game

  • +3

    This keeps going down in price and i still cant pull the trigger because….i dunno…harry potter..

    Do you need to be a fan because ive read none seen none….is the gameplay worth it if i just see it as "dork magic kid does magic: the game"

    • +2

      I have a couple friends who detest the movies and refuse to watch them. But they played the game and love it.

    • +4

      I think you'd probably get more out of it having seen the movies, but it is a very intriguing environment (the castle in particular) to explore so you'd still have fun regardless. At this pricepoint there's no reason not to give it a go IMO.

    • At least watch Fantastic Beasts if you hate Hairy Bogger. The game is set closer to that series.

    • +2

      I think if you're a fan of HP you'll get more out of it.

      There's a lot to do and everything looks great, but gameplay wise it gets repetitive.

      But for this price I think it's worth giving a go. I put in close to 50 hours before I lost interest.

      i tried it on game pass - as a semi HP fan - the game so far is very SLOW
      there is a ton of dialogue and it seems like its made for kids, its rather easy so far and basics are explained very slowly and very carefully

      positives
      the graphics are nice, the world is great and story is not too bad but I m not hooked at all, its a bit of a chore playing through early levels so far due to pacing and kid nature
      I wouldnt buy it but if you like RPGs and dont mind HP I can see this being a good game for those, its very well done and there is a lot to explore, its easy to get around
      any HP fan would love it.

    • Yeah I'm going to play this at some point, but it's been dropping like $5 every 6 months, so shouldn't take long to be sub-$10 aha.

    • It is for Harry Potter fans for sure, you won't like it.

  • +2

    I guess it's cheap enough to add to my gaming backlog

    • +4

      Same, but I'm wondering if it'll go cheaper or even free around Christmas.

    • That sounds slightly sexually aggressive.

  • Is there any expansions or DLC for this game?

    • Nah they are doing a Legacy 2 instead.

      • There are mods on PC, right?

        • +2

          Yes there are, after the devs added mod support some pretty good ones have been made that add questlines and spells so does give the game that little extra.

        • +1

          I think v2 (a guy from Melbourne who makes the best cyberpunk modpack listed on nexusmods) makes a modpack for this too

        • from memory, the Luke Ross RealVR mod lets you play it in VR. I'm tempted to buy it for this.

  • Finally this game has been witcher'd

          What mask? Women space is for women , not men , that's all you need to know .
          Don't care if your trans, gay but women's sports and toilets are for women only , what part of that don't you get

      What freedom don't they have? Their whole movement started with 'we wanted to be treated equally' and now it's 'let us into female safe spaces and sports teams' (if they are biologically male, note it's rarely the other way around).

      "Her financial backing of the anti-trans hate movement in the UK has killed hundreds of trans people" is a wild statement, what evidence do you have for that?
      I notice empathy only seems to go one way. You do realise she is a survivor of abuse? Maybe through her eyes it's not unreasonable to have 40-year-old men in a change room with little girls?

      I'm not saying don't treat trans-people with love and respect, but the argument to change the structure of society to revolve around them is not 'bigoted'. Ten years ago her views were the overwhelming majority.

        • +1

          All biological evidence available points to this

          No. The biological evidence is not on your side. If you're born a man, you're a man. If you decide to transition, you're a trans woman not "a woman". Big difference according to biological science.

          Trans women can live great lives. Join open divisions in sport, or join the men's team. Use men's change rooms, men don't mind. Trans women are welcome wherever men are welcome, because biologically they're male. Females deserve their own spaces, that's what JK Rowling and millions of others argue. It's not hard to understand and has literally nothing do to with "hate", you've been manipulated by JK Rowling haters in believing that.

          Protecting kids from deranged adults who think every little problem in their lives must be because they're in the wrong body. The better approach is to allow boys and girls to do whatever they want. If the boy prefers pink than blue, great. He's a boy who likes pink. Nothing wrong with that.

        'we wanted to be treated equally' and now it's 'let us into female safe spaces and sports teams'

        What do you mean 'and now its'. That first idea covers the second idea, mate. Treated equally means treated as the gender they identify as, doesn't it?

        "You do realize she is a survivor of abuse? Maybe through her eyes it's not unreasonable to have 40-year-old men in a change room with little girls?"

        Hilariously bullshit argument. It sure is interesting she seemingly has no issues with Trump who has openly bragged about going backstage for the children beauty pageants as a 40 year or older man. Not to mention all the evidence and signs that hes committed some of the worst crimes possible against little girls. Im just glad JK Rowling is going against the real threat against children, the tiny minirorty group that simply is trying to exist and not the rich and powerful actually committing crimes against the people she claims to be trying to protect. Use some critical thinking for once in you life I beg of you.

        "I'm not saying don't treat trans-people with love and respect" you say as you fail to do either.

        "change the structure of society "
        Wow. Thats next level insane. You must have had a full break down the first time you went into a gender neutral bathroom eh?

    • +7

      I don't agree with scientology, but I'll watch a Tom Cruise movie and enjoy it. The main difference is I agree with JK Rowling's comments, so I guess I'll buy the game twice.

          You created your account only to make these comments? 6 years, 6 comments, 3 in this thread.

          If you are not a troll, you should contribute more to this site about the bargain stuff than creating arguments and copy pasting contemporary slop.

            • +4

              @Niffer: Like I said, you're account appears to be a troll account where you don't actually contribute to this site but rather incite arguments about contemporary politics.

              It's just not cricket, mate. If you actually cared about the issue then perhaps you could recognize your conduct is actually making this worse for your cause.

                • +3

                  @Niffer: Like I said, if you cared about the issue then you would easily realize your conduct here is actually counter to your cause. This is why I believe your account is a troll account.

                    @adehmar: It's not like we want it to be a genocide, jeez. It's just the technical term for what is happening. It meets all of the definitional criteria of a genocide so that's what it is. It's not a mistake that trans people were persecuted by the Nazis and they're being persecuted by the far right now. Fascists need scapegoats mate, and trans people are perfect candidates because they have no structural power to fight back and take control of the narrative insane bigots like JK have constructed about us.

                    Look at this thread. Overwhelmed by people who don't think trans people should speak about or bring awareness to when buying something directly lines the pockets of someone who wants us all to be eradicated.

              • +2

                @studentl0an: There's a bit of hypocrisy going on here though right? It's always been standard and very common in the ozb comments section to inform potential buyers of immoral/unethical businesses/individuals whether political or otherwise.

                Then we have the comments above like "I'll buy it twice because I agree with JK's views" and somehow this is OK and upvoted (whilst in the exact same political vein, just alternate opinion or differing levels of education or holistic understanding of the issue), yet someone who doesn't agree with her views is immediately shot down and told to either "contribute" or leave…

                See the hypocrisy and bias here?

                I'm neither for or against, as I haven't dedicated the time to get up to speed on the topic. My personal view would be irrelevant to this point anyway, thus my observation is merely one from a neutral perspective.

                  @Grish: Maybe if they had the nuance you have then it could have been productive.

                  The problem is the user account appears to have been created for the sole purpose of inflaming tensions, further evident by the language used. The comments appear quite unhinged. I wouldn't be surprised if they held the complete opposite view, and commented the way they did to hinder the cause they are claiming to be in support of. In short - trolling.

                  • -4

                    @studentl0an: You're being willful ignorant about reality and then you're pretending that someone speaking to that reality is damaging the very human rights movement you're choosing to totally ignore the plight of. You don't care about trans people, obviously, yet you're positioning yourself as an expert on how the trans community is to fight the huge and wildly rich and powerful movement that wants us dead. It's pathetic. There is in fact a catastrophic rise in anti-trans hate, violence and bigotry and JK is literally the most prominent and powerful person in the world apart from trump and Elon stoking the flames of hatred.

                    You have no foundational understanding of the anti-trans hate movement so you have no grounds to call someone who is a subject expert "unhinged". It is a sad reality that JK and her minions are trying to exterminate an entire group of people and it isn't trans people's fault that this reality is bonkers. We didn't make her the figurehead of a genocide. She did. Go beef with her if you think me laying out basic reality is unhinged.

                    Armchair warriors like you never engage meaningfully in political change because you don't need to, but real change actually disrupts people's frameworks, makes them uncomfortable, and sadly politically illiterate people like you conflate your own discomfort with ineffective political strategy. The opposite is unquestionably true and disruption is in fact a non-optional precursor to all political change. If you'd spent even a day caring enough about other people to work with a grassroots political organisation you would know that which is why I know you haven't.

                • +1

                  @Grish: I'll just add JK Rowling has so much money she cannot become poor again. It's not famous athlete/hollywood star amount of money, it's a billion dollars (entire generations of work over thousands of families level of money).

                  Supporting this game isn't giving her more influence, she has already capped that.

                  Hate on this game because of her is just to make people feel better over their powerlessness to stop something 'bad'.

      • Not the same. Tom Cruise isn't actively funneling his money into targeting minority groups and spreading hate speech.

    • +4

      I’m sympathetic to the difficult position trans people are in, and I have criticisms of the hardline stance JKR has taken.

      But cmon, it’s a bit hysterical to claim she’s somehow responsible for killing hundreds of trans people.
      What exactly are you basing these claims on? Is it suicide statistics? Even if it legit statistics and not just made up, how is it her fault? No one’s dying because of JKR.

      • -4

        It is incredibly difficult to accurately quantify with data the number of trans people who commit suicide because of the hugely escalating normalisation and mainstreaming of discrimination, prejudice, violence and dehumanisation of trans people that JK is putting the full weight of her billions of $ behind. Tragically the more dangerous and hostile societies are to trans kids, the fewer of them officially come out before they kill themselves and their deaths are therefore not counted. My estimates of 100's comes from drawing on the massive spike in murders and suicides of trans people both in the UK and the US, where JK's rhetoric is the most influential, and based on community estimated based on our grassroots networks. Undoubtedly the rhetoric you're seeing in this thread is partly fuelled by her wildly successful campaign to push the Overton window so that anti-trans bigots feel safe to speak their hateful and irrational nonsense in public, and we're all the way down here in Aus. Even here lots of young trans kids who are seeing this ramping up of anti-trans bigotry just as they've felt safe enough to come out are deciding they can't face the storm that is coming to try and wash them away. Our crisis hotlines are drowning in trans people who can't cope with living in a world that sees them the way JK does.

        JK is one of the most powerful and active anti-trans stochastic terrorists alive and is therefore responsible when trans kids kill themselves due to the hostile environment she is directly trying to create. To decouple her tireless campaign to marginalise and dehumanise trans people from the inevitable death, murder and suicide that flows from her actions is just not rational.

        Again, no one is making her do any of this. She has erroneously decided trans people pose a risk to women, even though literally no data has ever backed this up, and she is trying to eradicate all of us from society as a result. She is an adult and her actions have consequences that her fans and detractors alike have been trying to make her aware of for a decade now and she just doesn't care at all.

      • hardline stance

        What hardline stance? I've read a few of her longer tweets and she speaks with clarity and reason. Sometimes she fires back against vile comments. I hope you're not calling her defensive replies "hardline", because the alternative is her sitting there letting people say vile stuff unchallenged.

        So many great posts, here's a recent exchange I liked. Some feminist tried to catch her out with a Simone de Beauvoir quote:

        “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman”
        Simone de Beauvoir
        Your idea of womanhood is drastically different to feminists. Also your experiences with womanhood is drastically different to many other women in Edinburgh.

        JK Rowling response:

        De Beauvoir, as you’d know if you’d actually read her, was noting that to be accorded the status of a ‘real’ woman in a male dominated society, girls are pressured to adopt and display behaviours that might feel inauthentic and restrictive. You, meanwhile, are siding with women’s oppressors in stating a woman is anyone who performs an often pornified male idea of what a woman should look or behave like. It is not only highly regressive to decree that femininity is the true measure of femaleness, it is precisely what de Beauvoir was arguing against.

        • Rowling's entire quoted response is a red herring. It is widely accepted that feminism is inclusive of trans women and that JK is an extremist bigoted outlier. Trans existence is an EXPANSION of what womanhood is, not a shallow and misogynistic prescription as JK claims. Absolutely bizarre, logic-free argument that trans women in ANY way are structurally responsible for making femininity a precursor to womanhood. Why would they?? Many trans women don't fit conventional feminine standards!

          It is disgusting and deliberately inflammatory that she conflates porn and the existence of trans women.

          All I can say to you is expand the list of people you listen to about this. Trans people can speak for themselves and if you're only listening to bigoted cis people like Rowling talk about trans existence then you'll never know why JK is anything but reasonable.

      Damn, I was gonna ignore this game but because of your comment, I'm gonna give it a go, sounds decent now. Thanks!

      • Yay! Bigotry! You sound like a legend (y)

    Historical low for the game! Might add it to the ever-growing backlog, but I have this sneaking suspicion it'll be available as an Epic freebie somewhere down the line 🤔 I've been burned too many times at this point lol

    • For $13 who cares.
      I just bought it the other week at $20, great fun.

  • Just finished playing this game. Definitely worth that price. (And with a few mods perhaps.)

    • Which mods do you recommend? Anything that makes flying easier?

    This game is on special every other week

  • How's the game these days? Still good?

  • My day off playing this game today was worth it.
