Hogwarts Legacy does not exist in a vacuum. There are important discussions being had about the views and opinions held by the creator of the Harry Potter universe – views and opinions which we do not agree with.
Our goal is to create and foster a positive environment for people – all people – to discuss and celebrate video games, not to amplify ignorance or provide a forum for unconstructive arguments. As per our community rules, we do not accept any form of hate speech on our platform.
Great game gets even better! Having so much fun in the game. Really nailed the feeling of the books, with tons of tidbits and things to explore.
So it's a stable 30 now? Because it wasn't before?
None of these affect me at all. I am waiting for the option to change the button controls on the horrendous broom flying. Being forced to use the right stick for up and down and the left stick for left and right is gross and makes it hard to fly. Also, removing certain locations on the map after you complete them would be nice (not necessary, but nice). An inside map of the school while you are in it instead of a top-down view at all times would be amazing. Occasionally when I click too fast in the menu, my player will be able to move but I won't be able to shoot wand or use potions or anything. I would like to see the gear I collect be leveled up so that I am not getting a billion things that I can't use at all. I would love to be able to land on anything flat while riding my broom. But the broom flying controls needs to change or be customizable at the least...
I still need to pick this up.
@NarutosBiggestFan Broom controls are not so bad once you get used to them, the only janky thing about it is to control the camera as the right stick is used for elevation, but I guess it was a needed compromise in order to be able to control both direction and elevation.
6 days till my daughter's birthday then we can unwrap Hogwarts finally, so the patch is gonna make it even better
Lol! I don't know what half those words mean, so I just hope the weird washed out haze look the game has, is fixed or gets fixed.
@TheSilverFalcon That's so sweet, I hope she really enjoys it. I know it doesn't really mean anything coming from a stranger on the internet, but happy early birthday to her and many happy wishes.
@IOI I have 27 hours in the game already and i am only like a quarter of the way done with the story, and i fly everywhere. After that many hours, i still havn't and most likely will not ever get used to controlling the broom in this manner. Its bad.
Why didn’t they use the L and R triggers for going up or down on the broom..
So Dolby Atmos is still broken?
@WOBNIARP Thanks , will pass it on next week!
