I said that HL would get average reviews at best because it was gonna be a janky game, and that there would be two camps in the user reviews: reactionaries who barely play the game so they can stick it to the LGBT community, and the other camp who will play the game and just admit that it’s not super good.

I was wrong on the fact that the reviews would be average; the press loved this game – I underestimated how much they loved the HP franchise. But I was right that the game was criticised for some jankiness.

Anyway our own co-admin @ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml was right about it when he told me that the game would get an 85 on metacritic – it’s sitting in at 84!

    A friend of mine wants to play it. One friend of many. So that’s how I view it, maybe just HP fans will play it, I don’t expect a huge turnout since nobody watches their new movies

      Personally I see it as a Westerner’s take on Elden Ring, so I wouldn’t be sure about that.

      Not to mention the overwhelming amounts of people on Steam are reactionary/fascist, whom will buy the game just because it’s causing “trans people/”““wokesters””“” to “”“seethe”“”"; even though they’ve begun to start seething and malding whenever pronouns, an important part of every language, is brought up.

        I could be wrong, but wouldn’t they actually have to BUY the game? That seems like a hefty price to possibly maybe piss off a lefty, idk if that sells games

          You underestimate Right Wingers.

          These people will do anything to “own” the libs/lefties, even if it means buying an overexpensive game (which, again, mind you, is causing controversy in the western left/trans community)
