s0nicfan 11/13/23 2:27:46 PM #56:	From what I recall from the game first being released, it's less that the game was amazing and more that for a movie tie-in game published by WB it ended up punching way above its weight in terms of the quality it did produce. It's sort of like how the first Nickelodeon All-Stars wasn't very good, but everyone was still taken aback by how good it did end up being for what everyone assumed was just a cynical cash grab following the end of Smash Brothers updates. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Cynyn 11/13/23 6:36:10 PM #92:	It actually was a great game...for one playthrough and that's part of the problem when you have 4 houses to pick from. The house you pick doesn't matter at all which even if you throw out the source material it should have had a much larger shaping of the narrative than just how your commons and one specific house related robes look. The comments on your house are middling at best after the first week and you make the exact same friends no matter which house you choose and aside from Sebastian none of them really felt fleshed out at all. In fact the Ravenclaw guy only appears twice and you never interact with him again even if you yourself are a Ravenclaw. Plus the dialogue choices seem to imply a morality system that's just never used. There's literally no consequence for using the unforgivable curses which is profoundly odd given how much of a big deal the books made out of that. Also the lack of classes just felt underwhelming. It's like you have 2-3 classes with each professor and call it good. Granted I didn't want them to take away from the exploration because that was great...mostly (at times tedious actually) the classes were one of the more important part of the books both for exposition and character development and idk world building in general. The first class nails this because you actually compete with another student and the others just fall flat in that regard. TLDR: It's actually great for a single playthrough but doesn't have any replayability and fails to deliver on some narrative components you would expect for a Harry Potter game but does offer a decent combat system and a lot of open world exploration if you like getting lost in that. So of course it's not GOTY. --- "Obedience is submission veiled with gravity." - Funboy "The Crow" <cite>Cynyn posted [p:977198076] in Hogwarts L...

Same as how barely anybody talks about GOW Ragnarok and it's not quite been a year yet. I think games that nobody cares about after a negligible amount of time was probably not as good of a game as people thought at the time, or just bad, really. --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgur.com/krtFHol.jpg <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:977198145] in Hogwarts L...

TLDR: It's actually great for a single playthrough but doesn't have any replayability and fails to deliver on some narrative components you would expect for a Harry Potter game but does offer a decent combat system and a lot of open world exploration if you like getting lost in that. So of course it's not GOTY. Well, there's a lot of reason to believe that a bunch of content was cut from the game. As you pointed out, it is really noticeable with Ravenclaw. Amit sort of shows up for one mission, and is otherwise just there around the school for astronomy stuff. The Ravenclaw unique mission was also the shortest and dullest: search cubbies in the owlry. But more generally there are vestiges of crime and/or punishment in the game which were dropped for release. Moon talks about having to sneak around people's homes at night while invisible to track down Demiguise statues, but in the final game trespassing only occurs during, like, two quests, after which the zones open up for free exploration immediately when the quest objective updates as you leave them. The classes you attend also get shorter and more forgettable as the game progresses. You go from antics in the classroom with pre-class and post-class chat, minigames, and some development for tertiary class mates, to non-interactable and unvoiced montages that last for 5-10 seconds. So there will always be the question of what the game could have been if the developers had time to finish things the way they wanted. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao <cite>DuneMan posted [p:977198266] in Hogwarts L...
