No, all this hubbub around a game that she had no involvement in is pointing the spotlight back on her. The game itself is fucking rad. People buy iphones and cheap even though they are manufactured in sweatshops, this is no different. This constant unceasing crusade is exhausting. We're expected to give a fuck about…

....aight you do you, I'm having a blast playing in a world that has meant a lot to me for 25 years :)

I’d strongly recommend Hogwarts Legacy as well. Super solid action rpg with fun weighty combat, great graphics and exploration, a serviceable story, and minimal bugs.

You’re right. But labelling people who buy and enjoy Hogwarts Legacy as ‘transphobic’ is ridiculous and damaging to advancing the conversation. I grew up with Harry Potter. The first book hit the US when i was 11. I was a dead ringer for him growing up, big glasses, second hand clothes, scrawny. I was bullied…

.....What? Did we find the one guy who hates windwaker?!

It’s a legitimate concern. How is it fearmongering? 

I mean it looks badass (i always thought the shekah slate shoulda been a gauntlet/arm). I’ll def buy it. But i am concerned that it is set in the same Hyrule we already explored....A lot of those places look REALLY familiar and the charm of BOTW was teh exploration, finding new places.

The game has exceeded every single one of my expectations :D I’m absolutely thrilled by it. It’s fucking amazing, and feels like that game that OG fans have wanted. This is the one. The game i’ve dreamt of since i read the first harry potter 25 years ago (christ i feel old) and i’m soaking up every damn second of it.…

Disagree. The MC sucks. She is a whiny ass teenager, who never moves beyond being a whiny ass teen. The entire time i played i felt like i was forcing her to do shit she didnt want to do. When the player and character’s actions are dissonant, it makes for an unengaging experience.

Oh piss off lol

Lol it is impossible for kotaku to write an article about this game and not turn it into a Rowling Transphobia rant. Yes. She has some views that people think are problematic. We get it you dont agree with her.

Man i wanted this game to be good. The early previews reminded me of Infamous. But Christ Almighty the protaganist is fucking unbearable. The whiny teenager act, the reluctant hero, is so fucking overplayed. It felt like I was forcing my character to do shit against her wishes. Not a huge fan of the ‘Fish out of water…

Damn, i was hoping these allegations would kill R&M. The show is okay i guess but christ almighty the fans are fucking insufferable.

I hate that rogan has bumbles down this toxic misinformation path. I loved the early podcast, when it was just him and his buddies shooting the shit. I train I’m Brazilian jiu jitsu, and joe would talk at length about that and other martial arts with all kinds of folks. Damn shame.

At this point mispronouncing pokémon is intentional lol. That reporter knew what they were doing, trying to seem like they didn't know what pokémon was

Well shit. I love the tie bomber. But i just spent a bunch of scratch on the medieval blacksmith (which is also dope). How much does plasma go for nowadays?

People can think what they think. Just because i disagree with rowling’s views doesn’t mean i’m going to shrug off a fandom i’ve had for 25 years. I’m buying the game and i’m super excited to play it, since i’ve been looking forward to something like it since i read the first book when i was 11.

The show sucks because once again the showrunner thinks she can “improve” on the Witcher. Also, why do you think Yeoh ‘deserves better’. She signed up for the show, she was paid for it, she had to read the script at one point.

If you’re referring to clunky movement, enable the alternative movement style...much better.

To everyone who bitched about the graphics “downgrade”...grow up, buy a PC, and most the game to your liking. My latest playthrough has a bleak enb shader overhaul and medieval mandalorian Armor :D
