Segment details
0:05–0:07 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_3game is. But I think there's a few reasons
Segment details
0:07–0:10 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_4why this game's gonna be kind of rubbish
Segment details
0:10–0:12 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_5and it's gonna fail. So first of all,
Segment details
0:12–0:14 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_6there's no multiplayer. I have no idea why
Segment details
0:14–0:16 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_7they would make such an epic RPG fantasy
Segment details
0:16–0:18 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_8game such as this and not make it
Segment details
0:19–0:20 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_9multiplayer, or at least give you options
Segment details
0:20–0:22 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_10so you can play co-op with a friend. The
Segment details
0:23–0:24 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_11game could have been much more interesting
Segment details
0:24–0:26 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_12if they made it an MMO. Hogwarts could

0:26–0:28 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_13have been the main hub where all the
Segment details
0:28–0:29 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_14players gather and pick up quests and
Segment details
0:30–0:31 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_15group up and buy stuff. There's already
Segment details
0:31–0:33 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_16things like dueling arenas with magic,
Segment details
0:33–0:35 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_17but you fight against NPCs. This would

0:35–0:37 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_18have been much more interesting if you
Segment details
0:37–0:38 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_19fight against other players and they had
Segment details
0:38–0:40 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_20some kind of PvP battle arena. They could
Segment details
0:41–0:42 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_21have copied something like Elden Ring
Segment details
0:43–0:44 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_22where you can summon in other players to
Segment details
0:44–0:46 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_23help you defeat difficult bosses. But no,
Segment details
0:46–0:48 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_24for some reason they've decided not to
Segment details
0:48–0:49 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_25have any multiplayer at all. Maybe they're
Segment details
0:50–0:51 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_26just really rushing the game so they can
Segment details
0:52–0:53 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_27release it quickly. The game's already
Segment details
0:53–0:54 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_28been delayed quite a lot, and adding
Segment details
0:54–0:57 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_29multiplayer would require quite a lot of
Segment details
0:57–0:58 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_30work and take a lot of time to implement.
Segment details
0:58–1:01 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_31The other thing I don't like about what
Segment details
1:01–1:02 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_32I've seen so far from the game is the fact
Segment details
1:02–1:04 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_33that there's no gear, there's no loot.
Segment details
1:04–1:06 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_34You don't really loot pieces of armor or
Segment details
1:06–1:08 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_35headsets or different wands that can
Segment details
1:09–1:10 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_36increase your power. How can you have a
Segment details
1:10–1:12 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_37fantasy RPG game where there's no loot and
Segment details
1:12–1:14 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_38you just wear basically the same thing?
Segment details
1:15–1:16 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_39Maybe there's different outfits, but I
Segment details
1:16–1:18 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_40think they're purely cosmetic. It seems
Segment details
1:18–1:19 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_41like there's no way to change your wand or
Segment details
1:20–1:22 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_42get a more powerful wand or maybe more
Segment details
1:22–1:24 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_43powerful robes that increase your magical
Segment details
1:24–1:26 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_44damage. One of the most addictive things
Segment details
1:26–1:28 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_45about RPG games is the fact that you can
Segment details
1:28–1:30 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_46upgrade your character's gear and armor
Segment details
1:30–1:32 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_47and weapons. And without that, I don't
Segment details
1:32–1:34 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_48know how addictive this Hogwarts Legacy
Segment details
1:35–1:37 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_49game is actually going to be. There
Segment details
1:37–1:38 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_50obviously seems to be a leveling system
Segment details
1:39–1:40 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_51and experience points when you defeat
Segment details
1:40–1:41 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_52enemies, but are you really going to be
Segment details
1:42–1:43 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_53able to upgrade your character and make
Segment details
1:43–1:45 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_54them more powerful in a way that you want
Segment details
1:45–1:47 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_55them to become? The game just seems to be
Segment details
1:47–1:49 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_56trying to be an RPG fantasy game, but it
Segment details
1:49–1:51 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_57just seems very surface level and very
Segment details
1:51–1:53 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_58basic. It doesn't really seem like it's an
Segment details
1:53–1:55 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_59in-depth fantasy RPG game such as Skyrim
Segment details
1:55–1:58 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_60or I think because they think that Harry
Segment details
1:58–2:01 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_61Potter fans are going to be children,
Segment details
2:01–2:02 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_62which I disagree with, I think they're
Segment details
2:02–2:04 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_63going to try and make a dumbed-down RPG
Segment details
2:05–2:06 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_64game that seems like it appeals to
Segment details
2:07–2:08 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_65hardcore RPG fans, but in reality it's
Segment details
2:08–2:11 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_66just gonna be like a dumbed-down, basic,
Segment details
2:11–2:12 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_67good-looking version of the LEGO Harry
Segment details
2:13–2:15 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_68Potter games. I think it's kind of silly
Segment details
2:15–2:17 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_69to assume that Harry Potter fans are going
Segment details
2:17–2:18 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_70to be young. I think most Harry Potter
Segment details
2:18–2:20 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_71fans are going to be in their late 20s or
Segment details
2:20–2:22 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_72the 30s and even in their 40s because the
Segment details
2:22–2:24 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_73original Harry Potter movies came out
Segment details
2:25–2:26 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_74almost 20 years ago— well, over 20 years
Segment details
2:26–2:28 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_75ago. So most people who saw Harry Potter

2:28–2:30 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_76Potter when they were a teenager, myself

2:31–2:32 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_77included, are going to be over 30.
Segment details
2:32–2:34 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_78There's not really been any really big
Segment details
2:34–2:36 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_79popular Harry Potter movies in ages, and I
Segment details
2:36–2:39 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_80don't think the young generation don't
Segment details
2:39–2:40 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_81really care that much about a very old
Segment details
2:40–2:42 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_82franchise that was very popular over 15
Segment details
2:42–2:45 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_83years ago. Next, I don't think it's a good
Segment details
2:45–2:47 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_84idea that they've decided not to have a
Segment details
2:48–2:49 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_85morality system. So they do let you choose
Segment details
2:49–2:51 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_86between evil and good dialogue options,
Segment details
2:51–2:54 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_87but is this really going to have any
Segment details
2:54–2:55 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_88meaningful consequences when there's no
Segment details
2:56–2:57 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_89morality system? A true morality system
Segment details
2:57–2:59 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_90would have a scale that tips you between
Segment details
3:00–3:02 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_91evil and good depending on your actions in
Segment details
3:02–3:04 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_92the game. And if you're evil or if you're
Segment details
3:04–3:07 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_93good, this would actually have real
Segment details
3:07–3:08 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_94ramifications in the game world and how
Segment details
3:09–3:10 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_95the game world reacts to you and how the
Segment details
3:10–3:12 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_96other characters react to you and how your
Segment details
3:13–3:14 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_97storyline progresses in the game. But it
Segment details
3:15–3:16 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_98seems like this isn't really present in
Segment details
3:17–3:18 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_99the game. They like to give you this
Segment details
3:18–3:19 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_100illusion of freedom and choice, but I
Segment details
3:20–3:22 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_101think that's all it is really, just an
Segment details
3:22–3:23 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_102illusion. I don't think the game will have
Segment details
3:23–3:25 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_103long-term longevity to really keep players
Segment details
3:26–3:27 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_104hooked playing over 100 hours unless
Segment details
3:28–3:30 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_105you're a hardcore Harry Potter fan. I
Segment details
3:30–3:32 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_106think you'd get the main story done in
Segment details
3:32–3:34 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_107maybe about a week, which would take you—
Segment details
3:34–3:36 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_108well, it would take the casual player
Segment details
3:36–3:38 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_109maybe 40 hours. I reckon in about 30 or 40
Segment details
3:38–3:40 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_110hours you would finish the main
Segment details
3:40–3:42 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_111storylines, maybe do some side quests,
Segment details
3:42–3:44 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_112level up a little bit, and mess around
Segment details
3:44–3:46 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_113with some of the features. But I think
Segment details
3:46–3:47 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_114after you finish the main storyline,
Segment details
3:48–3:49 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_115there's not really going to be much else
Segment details
3:49–3:51 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_116to keep you interested in playing the
Segment details
3:51–3:52 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_117game. I think down the line they're going
Segment details
3:53–3:54 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_118to add a lot more stuff and DLC, but this
Segment details
3:54–3:56 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_119is going to come out slowly over years and
Segment details
3:56–3:59 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_120years. They're probably going to add
Segment details
3:59–4:00 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_121Quidditch, and maybe they're going to add
Segment details
4:00–4:02 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_122some kind of multiplayer functionality
Segment details
4:02–4:04 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_123later in the game, and also some side
Segment details
4:04–4:06 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_124stuff and more bonus things, and maybe
Segment details
4:06–4:08 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_125they will add some kind of morality system
Segment details
4:08–4:10 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_126later. So, I think the game might not be
Segment details
4:11–4:12 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_127as amazing as everyone's hyping it up to

Segment details
4:14–4:16 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_129guess I'll find out for myself if it's
Segment details
4:16–4:17 · rev_ea64c7c823e198da365c2e502a28ed30_130actually good or not. I am going into it
Segment details
