Don’t get me wrong folks, I am a massive Harry Potter fan and love this game! I just felt there were so many missed opportunities!
I would love to have a multiplayer with my friends, like "world of warcraft style raiding" , how fun wouldn't it be to engage in a multiplayer raid for some epic gear, solve some new puzzles, and maybe fight some bosses? And get rewarded with unique gear and the likes? That would be so perfect! 🤩
They need to put the multiplayer, it would be amazing
@@kennethheggem1932 apparently modders have literally done something similar to this today! Judging from the success of the game though, this will 100% span future games, including multiplayer. They’d be so foolish not to!
I was nervous clicking on the thumbnail, but I actually don't disagree with most of his list. The NPC critique is especially spot on.
Haha whilst the title could be construed as a little “boycott the game, it sucks! Etc etc” I actually love the game, but nothing is perfect and I wanted to share my criticisms ✌️
that "Rest in Bitch" face really killed the vibe for so many interactions with NPC's
Haha it really did didn't it, it's such a minor thing too that I'm sure they were aware of. I wonder if it'll be patched in the months to come...
I liked to have companion, even ur character, say "shouldnt do this alone," and can have more conversation with..
And totally agree about having a pet follow you, too
I do honestly think they wanted to add a companion in but just didn't have enough time. It would also be very cool if you had an owl with you, you could use it to reply to people asking you to join them. They're will be a number 2 I'm sure, as well as updates to come, it might happen one day :)
Fun fact: for those who don't know, you can actually have more spells preloaded if you unlock it in the "talents" section.
How does it work? Must have missed that one. I play on controller so how would you pick your 5th/6th option?
Game needs more character interactions. After beating the main quest there’s no one to talk to which makes the game seem less alive.
Have you done all of the side missions and smaller missions too? I kinda charged ahead completing the main storyline and ignoring a lot so for me it’s the opposite. Nice name by the way 😉
I would love to have a multiplayer with my friends, like "world of warcraft style raiding" , how fun wouldn't it be to engage in a multiplayer raid for some epic gear, solve some new puzzles, and maybe fight some bosses? And get rewarded with unique gear and the likes? That would be so perfect! 🤩
Sounds incredible! I have heard today that modders have added in a multiplayer mode for up to 6 people I think. With the success of this game though, if it’s not in Hogwarts legacy, I could almost guarantee that in a few years there will be the multiplayer Harry Potter game we’re all waiting for 😍
I hate that i can’t finish the game properly because of the two accio & trait glitches. Plus, all the chests I’ve already opened are still appearing when I cast revelio. It’s very annoying.
That sounds super annoying, I haven’t heard of any glitches like that, for me it’s been smooth sailing. What are you playing on out of interest?
They really teased the ability to become an animagus, and that 3rd riding slot was left empty for so long that I was looking forward to what would fill it. A little disappointed to get just another steed to ride on.
Also would be nice to be able to multi-select items in my gear inventory to sell instead of having to hold the button and sell each one individually.
Becoming an animagus, even if it was just for being stealthy and not combat would have been awesome. I wanted the third riding slot to be a dragon! Selling gear can become a little tedious too 😁
One only can hope it gets better with updates... and future projects
It can only improve from here, it’s only been out 3 weeks and what we have is incredible. Give it 6 months it’ll probably look totally polished. They’ll definitely make more games now considering the success, it’s looking to be the most popular game of all time at this rate.
I'm pretty sure the reason why all beasts sell for the same is because that's not the point of you "rescuing" the beasts. Otherwise you'd be just like the poachers you were meant to save them from
It kinda feels like we’re already like the poachers… just with better intentions 😂
@@IronsideGeorge agreed! I wish the only beasts we could catch are the caged ones in the poachers encampments and not take them from their own environment/home but that might've made beast encounters too random
Yeah I’m not sure how it could be done better, maybe if we didn’t sell them but gave them to an animal sanctuary for a reward? You bring in a unicorn, you get a bigger reward 😁
?? You get 4 different sets of spells space. You ''buy'' them with talent points. Although, I did run all 4 sets with the same spells when I expected battle, because I accidentally switched to my animal care set during one & got smacked pretty badly before I was able to switch back to an offensive one. You switch between ''sets'' by pressing R2 and directional up/down/left/right on d-pad of controller if on Playstation 5. If you're on a computer, there must be some keyboard's individual buttons to switch even more safely than on a controller.
Yo dude, I know all the above. My issue is that I run four different types of actual useful spells all the time, not any of the beast spells or room of requirement spells. So every time I head out to capture beasts or to the room of requirement, I have to manually change them. I reckon my idea of different builds is the way to go!
@@IronsideGeorge I don't know about you, but once I reached lv30 or so & got all green/red spells. The game played on Normal became too easy and I didn't need any special build or the room of requirement for that matter. I was basically 1-shotting everything with Crucio + 3 red spells. I got so bored that I didn't finished the game, but I had a good 2 days on it. I liked the graphics & little mysteries. It's worth the money even for adults. ;P
I’m playing it on hard now and yeah it’s too easy, I’ve stopped using the unforgivables to get myself a bit of a challenge. It is a satisfying ending, I’d say up the difficulty and finish it! 😁
@@IronsideGeorge Lol! Yeah, it is a game made for children after all, so the level of difficulty needs to be lower. I'll eventually finish it on Hard & I suppose that the gigantic, commercial success probably means that DLCs will follow 😁
It is kinda made for kids but honestly, like I’m 31 now and remember seeing the first Harry Potter when I was like 8 or 9, so a lot of the fans are now in their 20’s and 30’s. God I hope there is a DLC of some kind, I’m still hoping they add quidditch into it 😍
I agree with the acting. The voice acting itself is actually pretty amazing but they often dont match the characters’ look imo. And the facial acting is so stiff. It’s not awful I suppose but it really takes me out of the experience
The voice actors are great! No disrespect to anyone of them at all. Facial movement though as I say seems pretty lazy. They really need to fix that resting bitch face bug too 😂
I think quidditch could have been amazing! Agree with you on that!
And the small space for loot is annoying as hell
Here’s hoping they see sense and do release it in the months to come… 🤞
@Ironside George I heard there was no DLC coming? Here's hoping that is wrong !!
Nothing announced yet, but it’s only been a few weeks. It would be surprising, as it is mentioned at so many different points that professor black has banned quidditch. I’d bet money we have some quidditch before the end of the year but we’ll see 😝
The thing is "just take the mechanics from this game and update the graphics" ain't as easy as it sounds, if at all possible.
As a software developer, I can tell you that it is not always possible to take code from another game and just simply copy-paste it. Hogwarts Legacy is written with the Unreal 5 Engine if I remember correctly, which is way too new for the old quidditch game to have any code that is similar enough to fit the new code or to be easily implemented.
I still assume that coding playable quidditch was too much work and they had to cut it short. Not saying that they won't add it later, but to me it seems to be a lot of work and coding, and not simple or easy at all.
I think this is this studios first try and they have done a fantastic job, imagine this as their Assassins Creed 1, if they put everything in the game potential for more story it may feel overpacked. I think the only issues I'm having is collecting bugs, trophy bugs. But they're already on patching all of that. I find hate too strong of a word, maybe dislike. I would say I hate racism, I hate homophobia that's whe you use hate, but to a game with this much detail and passion feels a little too strong
Yo Nathan - don't get me wrong, they have done an incredible job! I did consider many title options and just went with my gut. I do truly hate the floo powder lady though 😂
I do understand your complaints for numbers 3, 4, 7, 8, and 10. But for the others...
"All they need to do is add X, Y, and Z." Bro do you realize how massive and detailed the game already is? Chances are they couldn't get the mechanics right to add a Quidditch game. I've seen gameplay of Quidditch World Cup and it would be INSANE if they added all of that to Legacy. And you want to see the Ministry of Magic, Diagon Alley, and the train? Do you realize how much would be in each of those world pieces? Needless to say it would be a waste to add them because they'd be too big with too much stuff to see all for a small sidequest or two.
You sound a bit like Dudley in the first movie. "36?? WHY DIDN'T I GET 37???"
Haha dude I am talking about the perfect world scenario, so am less frustrated by the missing locations as they’re not near Hogwarts so fair play. Quidditch though is a big one to miss! Of course they’re never going to get everything in, but as a Harry Potter fan, they should expect that we want to have it all! You’re like Uncle Vernon - “Yes well some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year” “I DON’T CARE HOW BIG THEY ARE!” 😂✌️
Jeez guy, chill. He literally said he likes the game and this is just some things he would have liked to of seen. Why do people like you seem to take things personal when it's not even connected to you? Are you secretly a dev or something lol
It’s all good dude, I think he was being a little tongue in cheek - I did know this video was going to get a few people riled up though 😛
@Ironside George something happened when I made acomment about how I absolutely loved elden ring. It was my first souls game and I legit lived damn near everything about it. My only tony, very slight critique of it was I wasn't the buliggest fan of how they reused bosses but ultimately it wasn't an issue. Just something that was there. I even clarified that it didn't impact how I viewed the game and yet people lost their minds. Going super in depth about how making games is difficult. How I know nothing about souls games. Like damn, calm ot down lol.
@@IronsideGeorge You seem pretty cool. I'll admit the comment, while technically a response to your video, was moreso aimed at people who might genuinely dislike the game because it's missing some factors like this. Since you called the video "things I HATE" no doubt you'd get people who say "Oh yeah, finally a hater. AArrgghh I agree." But nah I get it. I love Hogwarts Legacy too, but I think the game can be REALLY repetitive, especially in the beginning.
I don't hate anything about the game. Sometimes the map is confusing and annoying. That's the only thing for me. I wasn't looking for a Harry Potter replica so it's great. I saw though from another fan that it would be cool (AND I SO AGREE) to have more games like this, like a couple before they start remastering or remaking the old Harry Potter games 😁
Overall, I LOVE the game! But... They could have done a lot more with it. Doesn't mean it's still not incredible though!
The combats pretty great but idk if it's bc I'm 32 but the story felt soul-less to me. They didn't build up any of the characters we were supposed to be invested in except Prof Fig.
Hmm… can’t tell if I agree or not, though the main story was a little
Shorter than I would have liked. I personally felt I should have enjoyed it a little more rather than rushing through the story and completed a few more side quests. A lot of the time though I was actually thinking I’d have loved Sebastian to be the lead character 😍
@@IronsideGeorge I completed everything in 47 hours. I agree that would have been a way more interesting story compared to the marysue we played as.
If the storyline was 50 hours, and the side quests say a further 25, I’d have been happier. I guess when you can make your own main character they’re going to feel a little wooden unlike actually playing as a character, like Sebastian. Minor qualms in the grand scheme of things but I would strongly imagine they’ll be making another game in the next couple years 🤞
..... why are people so mad about the chamber of secrets? Literally was never opened until 50 years before Harry found it! Of COURSE we wouldn't get to see it!! We'd be breaking lore!
This is a good point to be fair… but even aside that, so many other locations I want to visit! Ministry, Godrics Hollow, Diagon Alley, Gringotts (properly, not the first mission), the black lake and I’m sure there’s more 😝
Sorry you feel that way, mate.
I still love the game dude, but nothing is perfect!
Valid criticisms
Thanks Austin ✌️
1) I think the main reason Quiddich isn't in it is due to the studio not being able to pull it off with the engine they're using right now. This is their first RPG of this type, and what they did manage to pull off is amazing, considering. It might come, but I'm not going to complain if it doesn't.
2) Same really for the character's facial animations.
3) Room in inventory? Why? What do you need the gold for? Once you've bought everything you no longer need money. By the time the Room of Requirement is up and running, you have more stuff being produced than you could ever use, and no way to sell most of it, and if you could, nothing to buy with the gold. Yes, inventory is lacking at first, but if they were to increase it I'd want to see more things able to be 1) sold (potions, potion mats, animal produce) and 2) more things to be bought. Far more. Something you'd NEED to have a gold mine or gold farm going to keep up with. That's the biggest lack for me in the game - but again: studio making their first game of this type. Feedback to them what to improve on for their next game, but I doubt they'd be able to address everything in DLC form for this one.
4) Agree with more spell groups - or a spell group specific to the Room of Requirement and another specific to the Animal Areas that your character auto-switches to on entry.
5) In part, I agree regarding choice and moral standing in the game - using Dark spells has no moral impact. There is no real moral impact in the game apart from a few harsh words from the NPC side quest givers if you dick them around on quest completion. But that's not going to happen. They intended this game to be "play as you want, no consequences". Certainly they need to have enough people feeding back to them that we WANT moral choices and real effects in HP world games... so we can then hope Hogwarts Legacy 2 has it. Doubt they'll retroactively patch it in with a DLC... but we could hope, I suppose.
6) There are dementors in the game. You need to roll a Hufflepuff to see them and go to Azkaban. Each House has a unique quest associated with them - it's the one you get AFTER you help the old lady by the lake where she tells you about the Merlin Trials. The quest then pops: if you're Gryffindor you get a message from Nearly Headless Nick. If you're Slytherin you get a call from the Headmaster's House Elf. Don't know what is involved with Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff yet as not played them, but I DO know that as a Hufflepuff you'll end up going with an NPC by Apparition to Azkaban, and as a Ravenclaw you'll end up helping Ollivander with something. These four House Only quests lead you to finding the missing pages from the book you found just before.
You won't learn the Patronus, however. It IS a Year 6 and up spell, after all (giggle)... and since Dementors are not in the rest of the game, it would be redundant. But it IS there and used on that quest. So go roll a Hufflepuff to get to see it.
Animagus takes a LONG time to pull off, and your character would be going around for a month in game with a Mandrake leaf under his tongue whilst chanting some spell or other. Yeah. Shame they didn't put that bore-fest in there.
Werewolves: agreed... might be for a DLC, or not. Would be good, though.
Godric's Hollow. Why? Not famous at this time, really, so what would be the point? Chamber of Secrets: could be, but since it was FIRST opened in 1943 or something (50 years AFTER the time period of the game), they'd have to be very careful how it's done - Ominus is in the game and should know about it so it could be done. Ministry of Magic? Why? Unless as a DLC in reaction to all you did in the main quest - then it could work. The Train back to London MID-TERM to go to Diagon Alley? If anything, they should have had you go there before leaving London, then you lose most of your stuff with Dragon attack and Hogsmeade has what you're missing. But no: that wouldn't make sense to go take a train ride to London just to visit most of what you can in Hogsmeade anyway, and since it's not viable per the lore of the books, don't get your hopes up.
7) Prices for selling animals: yes agreed, but... see point three above - what would be the point? What do you need that gold for? What do you need to buy so badly that, by the time you are able to hunt down and capture (or breed) these creatures... you'd have already bought everything possible. Or you should have done. I'd cleared out most of the spellcrafts and the like before I got the first Animal Quest. That's the main problem: not enough to buy or do with your money to warrant such things in the first place. Still: it's a good point. I bred a sparkly unicorn and got the same old gold for it that you'd get with anything. It is odd.
8) Agreed with repetitive dialogue in some areas. Your character not saying the spells out loud tho doesn't make sense as he's not learnt non-verbal spells yet. That comes up if you're a Gryffindor when first speaking to the three students in the common room. One is your age and trying to learn it ahead of time, and doing a "fine" job of it too.
9) Multiplayer: suppose, for those who want it, it would be good for an online "broom racing" system as well as a "dueling" or "pvp group" event. Jedi: Fallen Order worked fine as a single player only game, though, so... maybe HL2? I'm ambivalent however. Despise multiplayer for the most part. But cool if they add it, or someone mods it, for those who want it.
10) Getting a pet or having it follow you or be more interactive: agreed. This was where they started the game at a point where it was AFTER you'd already got your pet (but if you'd been to Diagon Alley at that point, why were you starting with a borrowed wand? Makes no sense) - should have had us start there, get our pet, wand, then cutscene to what the "game started as" already... and yes, have your pet turn up randomly to follow you around in the school. Toss cat treats, or tickle your toad's chin, or have your owl sat on your head for a bit before off they go again.
Yo - have to say, this is by far the longest comment I've ever gotten! Appreciate you spending the time and sharing. I won't respond to all your individual points but.... This is of course ultimately all my opinion, there is no right anwser or right way of doing things, and truly, I am impressed at what was delivered. But as I say in the video, there is a lot of stuff we can't visit or do, and as massive Harry Potter fan I want everything! This is in some sense their first attempt, and they've done a terrific job, just imagine what potential sequels, DLC's and updates are going to look like. Seriously hyped for the future of the wizarding world in game form.
😂 hairy testicle with eyes, that got me. You actually make a great point about the unforgivable curses. I’m over here casting the killing curse to anything that moves with no real consequences
Haha pleased you found it funny, I wondered it it was going too far 😛 I do enjoy using the killing curse, but some consequences would be cool. Maybe even if you were only allowed to use once a day or something like that…
@@IronsideGeorge what if some of the side quests weren’t available because the npc didn’t want to talk to you after using it. Or something, I dunno. It does feel like there should be a consequence for one shotting other wizards
@@IronsideGeorge or maybe if dementors were sent after you!
Like this A LOT! Then we could actually learn expecto patronum! I think mine was a badger 🦡
Warning! Fairly late game spoiler below!
It also floored me how San Bakar used the killing curse on Isadora, but none of the other keepers even said a word about it, nor did my character. Granted, I haven't completely finished the game yet, so maybe they will discuss it later? Also, how are these trials supposed to prove your "worthy" of the ancient magic repository? All they show is that you're a competent wizard that can use ancient magic, but there's nothing to weed out someone that might turn into an even worse Isadora!
I certainly love the game, but I have some small issues
- I think its a shame we don't get to go to our commons room. Aside from the very beginning, I never went there again.
- When you get your own wand, it doesn't influence your game. I expected a damage increase or a lower cooldown of my spells, but basicly nothing happens. A bit underwhelming. Up to that point you don't haven much combat so it would not be a big probleem to nerf the player not casting with his own wand.
- More impact in choosing your house. There is at the moment only one house specific quest.
- I dont really like the loot system. Once you have your updates, I never looked at any anymore.
All valid criticisms dude! The wand one I kinda get though because it would feel strange if some people were stronger just because they chose unicorn hair over a phoenix feather or whatever. Common room yeah I spend next to no time in, even if they had some mini activities and maybe a wardrobe or something to keep us going back. I want to visit all the other common rooms too!
Sure, it could have been nice to have the (or some of the) options you mentioned in the game.
Given that this is the first open world rpg of this studio, I am very impressed, and I think for some features, the time for development was simply not enough. Its a very complex game, and you can either decide to publish it sometime, or keep adding to it until it comes out years later. I believe that is why they had to cut it short on some features, and I hope there will be some dlc
100% agree bud. As I say in the video, love the game, just wish they'd expanded on certain things! If they don't release any further DLC's, and I'd be very suprised if they don't; considering the massive success it's had they'll definetely work on another game in years to come. I would love following a young Albus Dumbledore through this school years!
@@IronsideGeorge ohh young albus would be epic :)
One can dream 😁
For me it’s all the annoying barriers you can’t fly through, like why can we not fly over Hogsmeade, or even fly higher than the castle? Would have also liked to have seen other students flying around, feels a bit dead in the sky on your own after a while. Great video mate
That’s a good one actually, didn’t even cross my mind. I’m guessing we can’t fly over Hogsmeade because there is so much going on down there, they probably ran in to all sorts of issues. Would also be nice to wave hello to your fellow students from 500 feet! 😛
I agree with you only partially... Yes, there are missed opportunities, but come on... dissing the game for duels with your friends? There are enough duels as it is. There are many repetitive things, true, but the map is so large that you can always find something to do, not to mention the number of side-quests. So, as I've stated before, I partially agree, but don't get petty about it, OK?
I’d be surprised if anyone agreed with me completely… I do love this game but still wasn’t go to ignore my issues with it either. But it’s still great 😍
3:39 Let me modify an obi-wan quote for this " you were meant to destroy the poachers not join them"
Also I'm personally not a big fan of harry potter but am interested to see what they can do with the wizarding world without him.
Hahaha, I actually used a short clip of Harry Potter looking bewildered in my other HL video when referring to poaching, we're basically doing the same thing but with good intentions. I keep saying I want a game where we get to play as a young Dumbledore at Hogwarts, eventually leading up to him and Grindlewald breaking bonds. The source material is all there!
The fact that there is modding going on for this game, is the only salvation in my opinion. It will give the game a chance to be played for years, if modders invest in it. Right now, it's just a single/double playthrough of the game and then forget it ever existed.
The game is great, but it's the lack of being able to do whatever you want in real-life terms (flying barriers, non-killable students/teachers). It should be more like the freedom Skyrim gives you, and that's what made it last so long.
I know absolutely nothing about modding in any sense, but seeing all the stuff that’s possible definitely wants to make me investigate! Any tips on where/how to get started?
@@IronsideGeorge there's not much going on right now regarding mods, besides some "quality of life improvements" mods and some textures/shaders/aesthetics ones. It's too early to tell what will happen but the possibilities are there... You can look into the nexus mods community
Thanks dude will do some Googling tonight - I’ve so far seen people running around with lightsabers and apparently they’ve implemented co-op mode as well!
2:01 actually you can have different load outs. You just need to spend a few talent points on them.
Seriously?! I have a few talent points left to get but will be investigating that one post haste!
@@IronsideGeorge did that help you out?
So I just looked at every talent point, and there is nothing like that? Lol
@@IronsideGeorge It’s called Spell Knowledge 1,2,3. It’s under Core.
Going to take a peek next time I’m on!
"Take the mechanics from that game and upgrade the graphics" is probably one of the most stupid things I have ever heard... you can´t just put code from a 20 yo game in a new game and think it will be alright. It is maybe even harder to bring the Quiddich game in Hogwarts Legacy than to code a new Quiddich for Hogwarts Legacy.
Yo dude - I don’t literally mean copy code from 20 years ago, I’m not that much of a muggle. I merely mean, this game was really enjoyable, utilise aspects of that game to influence quidditch in this game ✌️
@@IronsideGeorge ok
Quiddich DLC is totally going to be a thing
Ohh man do I hope so! I’ll sell all my magical beasts and Deek just to play some Quidditch.
@@IronsideGeorge SO it turns out you CAN go to Azkaban, and there is a Patronas Charm (Though you dont cast it), it's a Hufflepuff exclusive quest.
I went to Azbakan (I am a Hufflepuff 😁) and whilst the person you go with uses a patronus, you don’t, and the dementors are in a cut scene 🙃
