Yeah, Rowling is a hateful piece of shit

The game, however, most fans would buy it just for the super-detailed Hogwart’s simulator it is. The rest is formulaic at best, but still fun to play. Not worth 100%-ing, but not a terrible game. That being said, the worst gamer out there that’s a HP fan would probably pick it…

the best-selling game of 2023

> I also remember some commenters arguing that nobody cared about Hogwarts Legacy and yet it somehow managed to be incredibly successful.

No, transphobia is childish nonsense. Anybody spreading it is a piece of shit. Anybody defending transphobes is also a piece of shit.

Just for fun, I decided to see what 1/10th the effort would look like. Here it is:

I’m honestly more surprised at the absolute dominance of C0D games. I guess I hadn’t realized that people were buying a new one of those every year. Feels kinda like Madden. 

This is exactly my position as well. mid game and no where near the quality of the game awards. Don’t go around throwing oh 84 mc owo because we know the that a lot of those reviews are awful quality and still reminants of the days if you gave Unisoft a bad review you wouldnt get a review copy of the next game then 

It was a forgettable game it getting no recognition at the awards was for that reason when we had some serious games this year and it came out really early so people for got about it. But last year was all about the beauty of baldurs gate so it was never close. People's thought it was good not great and brought very…

also said data is bullshit

From my experience playing it, it wasn’t bad, but i also didn’t think it was that great. Just felt like an awkward 3rd person shooter with a mid story and a few good missions. The overall worldmap wasn’t that interesting outside of the castle and village and most experiences boiled down to just using the same spells…

Yeah, you are immensely overestimating the influence this site would have had on sales in general. The average person isn’t paying the slightest attention to news sites (or blogs, in this case) or JKR in general, and the Harry Potter universe already had a massive fan base. I don’t believe Kotaku would have swung the…

Rowling is a cunt, just like you.

Imagine if you devoted 1/10th of the energy you expended defending a billionaire on anything else. Like, for example, the people she brazenly wishes to disenfranchise.

Don’t be a cunt, Doc.

It seemed a fairly competent, formulaic  ‘One Of Those Open World Things’ with a Harry Potter coat of paint. Even if the criticisms of the game were accurate like the mechanics of the game in direct, open conflict with the ‘lore’ of the world. “Look at that little rapscalion running around casting unforgivable,…

“Wanda facing absolutely no consequences for literally torturing a whole town will forever leave a bad taste”

“We are experimenting with AI” = “We are testing the waters to see how many artists we can reasonably fire”  

AI defenders insert your terrible takes here

I’m sure these are both wonderful games that millions of people justifiably love, but The Last of Us fall firmly into my “Absolutely not” category of stories that I don’t need to bring into my headspace.

This review barely has any focus on the differences between game versions, which is kind of a waste since we can just read the general reviews from four years ago.
