game looks like a solid 7/10 not bad
It sadly isn't GOTY material and that will definitely give the bad reviews more credibility besides just latching onto JK hate

"Of course, anyone who chooses to play Hogwarts Legacy must contend with all sorts of contradictions — most of which are far more important than the usual dissonance we tend to find in video games. J.K. Rowling has established herself as one of the most prominent anti-trans mouthpieces on the planet. The character creator in Hogwarts Legacy offers a huge amount of gender diversity, but that cannot change the fact that the author of these books remains the proprietor of the Harry Potter intellectual property. If purchasing this video game feels like a tacit endorsement of Rowling's retrograde worldview, nobody can say you're wrong."

Is he serious:bryan::bryan:I haven't watched IGN content in years, I had no idea they got into the 'video game politics' lane



Ehh. Not sure what all you want. It's a balance between most, if not all, sides of the issue. Gave input on the game as a game, and the real world fukkery disclaimer people are looking for. It's not like they outright said to not buy the game.

yeah, that was them attempting to not piss too many people off more than anything. not them joining the chorus of online activists voicing their displeasure at anti trans tweets.

Exactly.

This is closer to how media coverage of things used to be when outlets like IGN were more meant to give you information and let you make your own opinion, as opposed to just regurgitating what they believe the reader/viewer's opinion is back to them.

Ign is bunch of jk rowling hating bytch ass weirdos
Also putting your stock in ign for previews or reviews:mjlol:
You're trusting previews like this


This person spent the first five to six minutes of the video gushing about the game doing basic open world shyt. He is gushing about npcs having conversations in the background,collecting shyt, being able to swim, certain events being triggered when you get to certain part of the Academy. This all basic open world shyt. These things should be expected in a Modern AAA open world game.


Most of these previews are from Hard-core Harry Potter fans who are simply happy that they are getting a big budget Harry Potter game that isn't completely ass.

The combat and the traversal is the only thing I've seen from this game that seems good.

So far this game seems like a generic open world game that is being carried by the Harry Potter brand.

I mean, not one is expecting The Witcher 3 or RDR 2, a regular open world game set in the HP universe with good combat and traversal is what most people was hoping for.

I think her being the 'most prominent anti-trans mouthpiece' is a little harsh.
