VideoGame_Discussion

Mine comes in Friday. I'm hoping I'll be finished with what I'm playing now in time to start on it then.

People are offended by just about anything these days. It looks like a great game, I'll wait until it drops in price but will definitely pick this up at some point. You guys will have to post your impressions once you get it.

I've been watching MissMikka play this. I'm not a Harry Potter fan but the game is pretty good.

Well JK Rowling does suck on a human level. Acknowledging garbage behavior =\= taking offense.

That said, I’m still a fan of the world she built before she went batcrap (or publicly went batcrap) and I very much want to play Hogwarts Legacy. I’ll probably snag it after a price drop or find a used copy in a few weeks. It does look great.

Gonna wait for a sale i think but looking forward to it

Have mine preordered…. But it may not arrive until the 14th.

For the life of me, I don't understand why there is any controversy here. She didn't say anything hateful. I think some super sensitive and ultra-woke people twisted her words and claimed she hates trans people, which never actually happened, and then people around the world just read and believed that she is anti-trans.

Here is what she ACTUALLY said...

When speaking about biological women, she referred to them as "people who menstruate". Then, after some backlash, she went on to clarify:

“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth. The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women—i.e., to male violence—‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences—is a nonsense.”

“I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.”


Where is the "suck on a human level" and "garbage behavior" in those quotes?

@bonham2 Putting these in tags as not everyone feels like seeing this sort of discussion and I’m super scared of negs.

Anyhow, I’m not going to continue this conversation in the thread as this isn’t the place for it, but feel free to PM me if you’d like to discuss further. I have several friends in that demographic who have explained it a lot better than I ever could and it’s a convo I’m more than willing to have. No ill will.

Anyways I just realized Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t come out on PS4 until April. Shooter mcgavin.

The game does look pretty good. Might have to trade my isshin for it after i am done with it or try to borrow a steam family share for a few bucks here lol,

JKR has said lots and defended lots of transphobic discussion / personalities. There are pages of well documented stuff out there. Personally it doesn’t offend me but I do tend to side with not offending others. I’m more offended by the 70$ entry fee.

Phobic and isms thrown around so loosely to shut down anyone or idea/opinion you don’t like by many people is a horrible trend

So is being a hateful chicken in public forums. It’s usually just out of ignorance and naïveté.

Super okay to criticize. She may be naive, but I mean, that’s sorta the point. Oh you're "phobic" by accident...?

Feel free to live the way you're comfortable with. Also SUUUUUPER easy to let others do the same.

We(people in general)should try to be nicer

👍

Very much agreed

More important than all of that other crap though, I bet riding a hippogriff would be pretty incredible. Just a super satisfying “horse with a bird face” ride with some pals, preferably with a beautiful sunrise setting to be the backdrop. Now THAT would be hella fun.

Actually it came in on Saturday... but I had it delivered to were I work. Of course they showed up 15 min before anyone was there and closed on Sunday... so I should have it today!

So I have a PS4 and a PS5. If my spouse and I both want to play at the same time, is the digital deluxe edition the best way to go?

Probably the only way you’d be able to DL both versions and not need a disc to play them. It does say it includes both versions. You have to set up the sharing thing I think- which can make it impossible to play games if internet or psn go down.

Wouldn't I just be able to be signed in one profile on my PS5 and then another user on my PS4?

Sun wrote:

Yes you can. You have to go to settings and setup to share games. I’m not exactly sure the process but it’s easy. You can use multiple systems with the same account. One of your libraries will be limited if psn is not online so watch out for that. Happens a few times a year it gets locked out- can’t verify license - error.

If you buy physical it will install but pretty sure you’d need disc for both versions that way.

Sun wrote:

Yes, if you using different profiles that would work just fine. You both could be playing the ps4 version. However, your profile has to be the main profile on that PS4, or it wont work. If her profile is the main profile, then she can't play your purchased game unless logged into your profile.

My wife rarely plays games. So I have both systems logged into my PSN profile, but on the PS4, she would just use a different system "user".

This may help. It’s confusing mainly as it pertains to the offline play.

Sun wrote:

Yes. Since your profile is the master. You just need to create a new one for her now. Then she can be logged into that and play any game downloaded and bought on your account. Then just make sure your profile is not logged in on the PS4, just hers. Then you can also boot it up on the PS5. I do this with my nephew all the time. He has my old PS4 using his profile while mine is still the main/master account. And I use my PS5. I play games with him at the same time. And the games were all only bought on my account. But I also created his profile/account as a family account under mine. I'm not sure if that is the key thing, or just the sharing between the master/sub account. Its been a bit since I did it. But I know it works.

If it works that way then don’t fool with the ps5 sharing at all. I’m not sure it has an effect between generations? Just use your primary ps4 to download it from your logged in psn. This sounds like a much wiser solution from Archer.

If I buy the PS5 version digitally, I'm pretty sure I can't play it on my PS4.

I could buy the PS4 version digitally, but then I would be playing the PS4 version on my PS5 and not the PS5 version.

Sun wrote:

I’ve been researching a little because it is an interesting question if you can play both AT THE SAME TIME. It looks like you may need to do this:

@archer have you played both versions of a game at same time? Will it suspend if you’re on same account?

Sun wrote:

Correct. You will either have to play the PS4 version your PS5. Or buy the digital deluxe copy to get both versions. Which I would recommend. Its $10 more and you get both versions.

@Feeb That is exactly what I told him to do. I just forgot the term Primary and instead used Master. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. Stayed out way too late at a superbowl party here in Phoenix/Glendale.

lol dunkey's a real one

Story wise is this game like after the events of the book or before?

Big ol’ prequel.

I wasn't going to bother as I really want to go play Metroid Prime and Last Of Us ... but this game seems to be getting a ton of attention and the few quick videos I've seen, it does look promising.

Wasn't a huge fan of the movies, they were OK.

Is the gameplay/story/time investment worth it?

Debating ...

I’m 15 hours in and love it so far. I keep running into interesting new things exploring around.
