Hogwarts Legacy

the "boycott" was the only reason i bought it and it turned out to be a pretty good game.
lol nice. I grabbed it on Xbox x day one and then saw all the boycott crap on YT... I eventually got it on PC as well after I got the 4090... Yeah all this cancel culture crap pisses me off.. The game is great on PC too.. The did such a nice job of making the Hogwarts Castle.. they really nailed that.

Nice.. I want to pick up playing this game again..

Oh and I saw some people on YT who applied the unreal engine VR mod to this and play it in VR just oooing and aaaaaing the whole time lol. I bet it looks incredible in VR.
 
Apparently there's a haunted hogsmead passageway quest which was locked to PS5 only previously and is now available to PC with this update. Supposed to be a very fun quest.

Yeah I think I could get baked and really nerd out on photo mode lol! It's like Ansel but on steroids. Ahh happy weekend!
 
Any indication yet whether that breaks any popular mods?
not 100% sure but when I jumped on nexus lots of the mods said they were compatible with the new patch..

Speaking of.. are there mods I should be running on my vanilla install?
 
Hogwarts Legacy has a Director's Cut coming, and it may well spell the end for Suicide Squad

A new report by Bloomberg tells the story of the chaotic development of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League...developer Rocksteady Studios, owned by Warner Bros., moved from the singleplayer Arkham games into developing a multiplayer live service title, and the transition was a bumpy one that's ended up with the publisher taking an astonishing $200 million loss on that game

At the end of the report, however, it is mentioned in passing that while Rocksteady doesn't have a next main project to focus on, Warner Bros. is keeping it busy in the wizarding world:

"Many of the studio's employees are now helping to develop a new 'director's cut' version of Hogwarts Legacy. At the same time, according to people familiar, the studio leaders are looking to pitch a new single-player game, which would return Rocksteady to its roots"...
