Lol, never buy on release. Not even Nintendo 1st party games. Well.... maybe for mp-centric games where you want to get in early and play with your friends. But this ain't that.

I mostly agree, but some games I get day 1. Mainline MGS games, Miyazaki games, Kojima, Most Nintendo games unless its like a party game or Arms,Most Playstation games, Atlus, Playdead, HouseMarque, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, ( somehow I avoided RE6 luckily lol ) anything.

Only times Ive been dissapointed buying day 1 was Pillars of Eternity.…

Embargo only one day before release, media not getting review copies....

Would've expected to see signs of concern from @adamsapple here...

I don't care about this game as much as many others here lol

and no its not because of the JK Rowling thing. I'm just not that big into Harry Potter, will check this out of if this reviews well.

Wasn't an hindrance in the Forspoken thread for you. Oh well, PSVR2 is around the corner, I guess you are preparing for that.

I saw a video today with the Library scene with one of the characters walking around it, it looked pretty amazing.

I wonder if there is a Harry Potter Easter egg with either a Harry potter book or Fantastic beasts book in/on one of the shelves.

If there is, do there dare put JkR on it?

P.S. Hogwarts releases on the 10th, the review embargo is the 6th.

It's not ending the embargo 1 day, or the day of, release like the other game you mentioned.

edit: unless you count the early access release.

I think it will land solidly in the 80s

Good but won't have strong dynamic open world elements, will have some Ubisoft hand holding elements

I hope it's good because it's my most anticipated this year. I'm the 80s is fine by me. I do hope it has some dynamic elements like weather, npcs and time of day. Days Gone did tht so well. I mean it's already confirmed to have dynamic weather.

Of course I'm counting it, why shouldn't I?
yes, there is no such as early access. it is release and later release for suckers.
if there wouldn't be deluxe edition, game still be ready for 7th release date, that's why it is available.
i will make videos on 7th :)

it is the same case with Diablo.

The way the side quests can effect the main story means they already done a better job than ubisoft lol

I wonder how many reviewers will pander to the twitter activists and give it a poor score for political reasons?

The scores will be interesting. I expect this game to hit high 80's.

one of those rare cases where it benefits them to delay reviews as much as possible.

we'll never get fair opinions on this game from the media, it's been marked for destruction.

The Hill just uploaded a vid “woke boycott” in regards to this game.

I find this hilarious… even trying to act like there will be a legitimate boycott.

Hogwarts is going to be a juggernaut of game that will end up going to toe with Spider-Man 2 and Starfield.

Edit: It’s been no.1 on overall sales charts just in pre-sale for like the last two months. This is not an outrageous prediction. I can’t remember seeing anything like this before industrywide tbh.
