Successful in sales =/= one of the six best games of the year. Popularity has no causative relationship with quality.

Very few people are hyping Hogwarts like that. Like I said, glad you like it, but the Armored Core 6 fans have more of a gripe than Hogwarts fans. AC6 had more sustained post-release hype than Hogwarts in general, nevermind the critics.
Nice deflection.


The same people who voted for the nominations wrote reviews that had nothing to do with hogwarts legacy, and I'm supposed to trust their opinions on that game.

No, I'm stating facts. Just cause your favorite game didn't get a 90 nor nominated for GOTY doesn't mean the whole collective has some kind of agenda.
Who said anything about game of the year?

:mjtf:


My problem is that the game wasn't nominated for anything in any category.

That's fine, but this whole "all reviewers have an agenda" shyt has got to stop. It wasn't nominated because it came out within the first couple of months of the year, and better/more hyped games have come out since. It has nothing to do with Hogwarts specifically, this happens to any game released in Jan/Feb (unless it's Zelda, Elden Ring, etc), and especially this year which was packed full of great games.

Instead of understanding that point you would rather say all reviewers were biased.

What needs to stop is these lies.

We have an official thread about the game where you can see people on this site talking about the agenda against hogwarts legacy. But yeah, let's pretend none of that happened.

Cool, but to lump each and every one of those 140 reviewers into that box due to some shyt on NEOGAF or whatever is what I don't agree with.

Yea there were some, but ALL of them? Come on Folks

Not all, but most of them did, and you know it.

Go read though the official thread breh
Folks if most of them hated the game it would not be sitting at a 85 metacritic. I said the same thing about Starfield.

If the whole industry was hating/against the game it could easily be sitting in the low 70s/60s.

Go read the official thread if you don't remember the insanity around the reviews for that game. There were reviewers who gave the game a good score while spending the entire review talking about JK Rowling's opinions and talking about how you're transphobic if you buy that game.

Aight folks, if you want to believe everyone had an agenda against the game and STILL gave it a good score that's on you.
