General Videogame Thread

Silly question, do you have to be a Harry Potter fan to get the most out of this? Not read it, nor watched it and have no idea of the background of the "HP" story and am looking for something new.
I think if you are you can geek out but as an open world game it’s got lots to do and explore and it’s done very well, it’s set before HP big in the same world. What platform you playing it on because there are some cheap ish discs flying around rather than pay digital, if you don’t like it you can sell it on.

Xbox Series X. I'll probably give it a whirl.
Cheers.
 
Anymore feedback from the Hogwarts Legacy players? Still waiting patiently on PS4 release.
I think it's great, as mentioned by another poster a couple of the challenges are quite similar, but the map seems vast, and I enjoy just flying or even walking around to random locations and finding locations and just doing things. It's simply fun.
 
Just jumped on Battlefield 1 for a game wow still amazing and full servers DICE peaked at that.

Superb game BF1. I was playing it up until MW2 was released. I was weirdly thinking earlier today about having a BF1 session this weekend.

They seemed to have nailed the classes in this game. The maps are great as well.
 
Quick question about the map on hogwarts.

Is it really that big and fulfilling. I love an open world single player but am put off when comparing the size to other games I have enjoyed.

Cyberpunk 16sq miles.
Read dead 2 29sq miles.
AC Valhalla 39sq miles.
Witcher 3 88sq miles.

Hogwarts 2.95sq miles.

Seems awfully small in comparison and with flying can imagine it's one side of the map to the other in no time?

The Hogwarts map doesnt seem that small at all.

It is smaller than open world maps but its packed with lots of things to do so it feels pretty dense. It reminds me of the Yakuza games where the maps are small but there's always something to do.

It also follows the one minute rule most open world games follow

Never watched or been interested in Harry Potter but this game is fantastic.
 
Keep an eye on your local tesco stores, I've just picked up Fifa 23 and Horizon Forbidden West on PS 5 for £7.50 each. They also had Elden Ring for £6 and God of War Ragnarok for £15 but these 2 had already sold out.

Bloody hell Elden Ring is cheap

Is that covering the square footage of the inside of Hogwarts though? That looks massive inside and a good deal bigger than any other interiors in gaming I can remember.
 
Anyone played Gotham Knights preferably on Xbox series S ?? If so is it worth purchasing??
Its pants.

The story is ok but the progression grind is ridiculous. To level up doing the main quests are not enough. You have to do pretty much the same side quests over and over again defeating the same enemy types.

It's boring and repetitive.

Also the frame rate has been locked to 30 FPS on consoles making combat feeling clunky and it just feels off.

Don't waste your money and time on it

I kept going back to it thinking the gameplay would improve.. It doesn't!
 
Finished the main story on Hogwarts Legacy and throughly loved it, now I’m going to try and get 100% to complete it, still loads to explore and side quests to do.
 
The new rig arrived today. I’ve not had a chance to play anything yet as I’ve been downloading stuff all day but I ran the steam VR performance test and the result was as far on the right as it could be which makes me very hopeful.
