Chilloutman Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 wtf is that **** xD I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
HoonDing Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) If MKXII goes back to original lineup it will be a vast improvement. The 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot was good value for the money but MKX was a 75GB game for a 5h main story and all the new characters were terrible (except for maybe bug lady). MKXI is >100 GB for a 5h main story, been holding it off forever. Edited May 19, 2023 by HoonDing The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Discovery's CEO%2C David Zaslav. Hogwarts has been a massive success with over $1 billion in revenue, its good to see that the majority of gamers dont care about culture wars hyperbole and just like good games I see there are also some good mods out so I will be playing this game in 5-6 months 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Lexx Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Majority of gamers are like addicts and just want their next fix. I'd argue that if the game is good, politics is quickly forgotten.

There is definite truth to that and, as @Lexxpointed out, the game being quite good tends to trump whatever ideals people may want to virtue signal. Given the recent string of rather lackluster AAA releases, gamers were just happy to get a legitimately good AAA game and a good Harry Potter game. Wait, is this the first good Harry Potter game? Has there been a good Harry Potter game before? I'm drawing a blank. There have been plenty of crap ones, that's for damn sure.

majestic Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 I wonder if all the reactionaries who bought Hogwarts Legacy to spite "the left" due to the call for a boycott ended up liking all the wokeness in the game. A transwoman as owner of the Three Broomsticks and her character arc one giant call for easier access to transitioning, male characters being able to walk into any of the girl's lavatories, every minority under the sun present in rural Scotland... that must have hurt. 4 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

I've seen people post stuff like "I'm going to buy THREE copies just to spite the haters" but I always figured that's nothing more than puffing their chest out or trolling. I think both extremes are really idiotic; the I'm going to buy this product I had no interest in just to spite the naysayers extreme and the I'm not going to buy this product I really want to show I stand with the team, or whatever extreme. If you purchase or don't purchase a product based on spite the only person you wind up spiting is yourself. My purchasing decision is based solely on whether said product appeals to me. I looked at Hogwarts Legacy and thought "that looks like a really fun game I would probably enjoy", that was my basis for buying it. Turns out, it was a really fun game that I really enjoyed.

melkathi Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 If people get a lot of unjustified, hateful flak and the product isn't too expensive and my finances are OK, then I may buy it, not to spite the haters, but to show some solidarity. But it is remarkable what some people will do out of a "sticking it to the man" gesture. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
