Hogwarts Legacy is amazing, the visual presentation when exploring the massive open world is mindblowing. Certain quest for the campaign and sub quest are locked until you meet specific requirements or a certain level, hopefully they increase the level cap as level 40 is kinda low for an RPG. Probably the most confusing part this far is the interior decorating it took me awhile figuring out everything. Remembering what every spell does can be somewhat confusing and irritating figuring out the puzzles and Hogwarts Legacy has alot of them.
Good for you 👍
That’s a really boring Mario game to play, gen z has no taste
Based
Figures the main country the Terf appeals to is the one buying it in mass
Cry more. It’s hilarious. We will continue to play games and enjoy them and you can wake up every day and find something to be mad about. Keep that mess on twitter.
Lol because you’re such a brave human for supporting a terf and fascist that wants nothing but to end trans people and anyone who isn’t white.
We can wake up everyday and try to help people to get basic human rights or we can support a wretched human being that wants nothing but your money.
“Cry more” what are you twelve? If you want to play games and “support devs” why don’t you buy all games that come out?
You need to go outside more.
Negatively stereotyping an entire country? That’s racist.
If you buy a copy of Harry Potter than you also have to buy a copy of Celeste to balance it out.
Pleeeeeaase. Keep your politics to yourself or on twitter!!
