minus-squareDeadend [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up44·8 months agoNo fan of the potter game ever talks about the emotional resonance of the plot lines or how good the combat is. Which is Wild in a way. They love this game but can’t seem to like any part of the game other than “I walked around Hogwarts”
minus-squareUlyssesT [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32·8 months agoBuying and playing it was virtue signaling for the kind of assholes that constantly whine about “wokes” virtue signaling. It was a performative gesture; the game sucking didn’t matter.
minus-squareDeadend [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·8 months agoThat was the impression I got. The other people who bought it and played it were just like “more slop to help me ignore life”
minus-squareFumpyAer [any, comrade/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·8 months agoI played it for free after it was cracked. The novelty of the setting was the only compelling element.
minus-squareDeadend [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·8 months agoIt just looked so fucking boring to play in every video that wasn’t hyper edited.
minus-squareGreat_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·8 months agoYeah I will confess, getting to faff about Hogwarts was the only element of it I found even vaguely compelling. I like big interactive spaces.
