Hogwarts Legacy New Leaks | Game Length, Gear, And More

Hogwarts Legacy has brand new leaks that point to a very big game this is in line with predictions that some of us made about this being a surprisingly deep and expansive RPG they also just recently released a official cinematic 4K trailer we will be taking a look at that during this broadcast as well I put all of the good information here at the beginning of the show that way you don't have to go looking for it so we're gonna be breaking down all of the information in this leak because there's really really good things here we have information about the game length how much gear you can equip uh as well as what you can expect if you try to go for a completionist run in the game so make sure you're subscribed to the channel I put all the information at the front so you don't have to go looking for it and let me break it down for you so I did make previous predictions about depth and when they showed us the Hogwarts Legacy room of requirement and it was pretty clear to me that this game was Far deeper and bigger than many expected I continue to say I think this game is going to surprise people I think it's going to have a surprising deep RPG feel to it with lots of things going on now we previously did a video about performance concerns now some of those concerns I had put to rest by people in my community that are a little bit more Adept with computers and Technology than me and they said listen it actually looks like it's pretty well optimized now I continue to still have some concerns about the minimum memory requirements on PC and what that means for console but for the most part my concerns about Hogwarts Legacy performance have been pretty much put to bed now what was leaked about game length Okay so gamerant.com had the following to say as reported by video games Chronicle a new leak reveals that the main story of Hogwarts Legacy will take around 35 hours to finish and 70 hours needed for a hundred percent completion so if you are going for a full completionist run it's going to take about 70 hours now I don't know if the leak is saying that based off of like oh is that if you do multiple characters I don't think that lines up if you do multiple characters because if you do multiple characters I would imagine that's going to be you know four times at the very least of the 35 hour run now is Elite trustworthy this is always the question we have to ask if there's a leak about a video game can we trust it is it reliable according to gamerant.com the data comes from a leaked art book of the game and fans can find other interesting information from the images posted so there was more information than just game link there was information about the gear you can equip from the character menu so this is directly from pictures taken of the art book now I'm not going to show any of that just in case they get a little bit you know Persnickety about people showing certain things about the game but I will tell you there are seven total pieces of gear that you can equip wand gloves something for your face headwear neck wear robe and cloak are included together and then your outfit so seven total pieces of gear there were also two equipment slots you have your flying mounts and then your broom then above all of that you actually had three main categories for your character you had health defense and offense so there is that RPG element here watch out Arachnophobia there's a lot of spiders here uh there you know there is there is that RPG field the menu looks like an RPG it really reminded me of some of the Assassin's Creed menus with respect to you've got your character sitting there looking at you you can swap out the gear now in addition to all the gear that you could equip I also noticed in the in the screenshot it looked like they were going to have different tier levels for the gear the Hogwarts Legacy gear was laid out there was purple there was green there was orange so that could be another other level of the RPG elements of Hogwarts Legacy gameplay meaning there's different tiers of gear you're going to have reasons to go get better stuff stronger Stuff Etc we don't know if each individual gear piece has stats or not there was no way to look at that it was just a picture from an art book there was also a picture now this is obviously going uh to to get into debates with people about whether or not the game should be live service but there was a picture of the Great Hall that's where they meet and eat and all the candles are floating the Great Hall and it was decorated for Christmas now again this was just an art book but this could have just been concept art for hey you know what if we did that in the Great Hall however this could point to live service potential maybe there's live Service events live events going on at the school but it also could just represent the passage of time they did show us in a recent Dev YouTube video where they sat down and showed off the gameplay they did show that there would be times where there was snow on the ground you know there's going to be passage of time while you're you know probably going through the story I still think that this game with the the school as the centerpiece of the game and this place that they've invested so much time into it just makes sense like what a great Central Hub that would be and honestly Harry Potter and Christmas just seem to really go well together so what does this mean right what does game length do to some of my theories about the game well number one I think it helps my theory that this will be a surprisingly deep game I think a genuine true open world RPG is what this is shaping up to be it certainly adds to replay value if each house can be played for approximately 70 hours if you go completionist now we don't know if the story or the dialogue changes significantly if you're a Slytherin versus a Gryffindor but we'll have to wait and see and what does that do your completionist run is it going to make you take less time when you switch houses if you want to go for another run having a 35 hour Story play through and then 35 hours more for extras inside quests that's a really great value some single player games you only get about maybe 10 more hours when you leave the main quest getting basically double that is pretty impressive that means they put a lot of extras in this game basically 35 for main story and another 35 hours if you want to do all of the extras now the second thing this does is I don't think it hurts my live service hopes for the game but it doesn't really help my live service hopes either an open world RPG with this level of time to completion would certainly make for a great live service springboard nobody could really complain that the game was you know cut short or not given enough information if you know all well you know they they cut it short because they were going to be live service I think the amount of content and the amount of information we have now really lends itself well to just a solid game that then they could build off of right it also sounds like it could be a very full value-laden contained offering this could just be a complete game with virtually nothing else added on to it now with the treatment of the dark arts Arena and their treatment of the deluxe editions I could see them adding more places in the school grounds itself DLCs and add-ons Etc as far as ongoing content models you've got DLCs you've got sequels those are possibilities I still think those are possible I don't think what we've learned about game length is working against either of those possibilities for ongoing content models if the game was much shorter than what we're hearing I would understand folks being concerned about live service or additive content being thin or weak or essentially ripped out of the game I think that would be a justifiable concern to say wow it doesn't sound like a very full game so I think anybody worried about that can put those concerns to rest it sounds like a very very full game now the last thing I'm gonna say that's gonna feel a little weird for me to say I think this game is going to remind me of Skyrim and you're like well don't get ahead of yourself man as Skyrim is you know one of the greatest games ever created According to some people it was sort of the quintessential and very very first big large expansive open world RPG that had massive critical and Commercial Acclaim I know there were games before it like Oblivion but Skyrim really put them on the map for that idea of having a very large open world RPG let me explain what I mean when I say it's going to remind me of Skyrim another in my in my mind we're going to have another lengthy open world RPG that I wish I could play with some somebody else right speculation about a Hogwarts online might actually start to get traction if the game feels like a solid foundation to build upon Hogwarts as a location I think is perfect for a central hub for so many things expansions into other schools expansions into other territories quidditch is a huge request from the community that could be added on as something separate and here again you can see they do have plans to have sort of snow in the game right there you can see the passage of time clearly there's going to be different seasonal things going on while you're playing the game not just representing different biomes but likely again the passage of time at some level I think the world and the universe of Harry Potter gives them Limitless options there's unlimited things that they can do with the World of Harry Potter and I would hope that they consider that and that this is not just a one-time game but something far bigger and maybe even something ongoing so as always if you made it this far into the video make sure you hit subscribe and the bell button so you don't miss the live shows but I am live right now I'm live on the Ticky talk we got a lot of people hanging out over there already over a thousand likes we need two more people to click that star button to get us to our goal of 10 subscribers and over here on YouTube let's get our our daily member goal up and our alerts are turned on our alerts were way too loud yesterday I I was not paying attention I reset some things in OBS and holy moly it was loud yesterday I was like listening to the broadcast back and I was like that seems really loud so I do apologize for that let's get reforged roast in the scene there we go so let's see what we can get here first coffee order and first member of the day who wants to take the honor of doing that make sure you're smashing the like button and make sure you guys do all of the things that help this video Get Found by more people and I would love to hear from you what do you think about this 35 hours for the main story yo what's good Civics 35 hours for the main story and another additional 35 hours for side quests that's massive somebody says what do you think of the game Dragon Age Origins I remember really really liking Dragon Age Inquisition I didn't play Origins I'm taking a sip of the reforged roast right now all right we drink our own coffee we do drink our own coffee they're under WB I thought it was the same publisher I don't know about Skyrim but it will be good now when I said it was gonna remind me of Skyrim I wasn't trying to indicate that I feel like this game is going to be as good as Skyrim it's going to remind me of Skyrim like man I really wish I could play this with my wife right like I really wish I could do that but as far as game length goes I'm looking at 35 hours thinking holy moly like that's a long time the average completion time for God of War Ragnarok is like 25 hours if you just do the main story this has got 10 more hours on top of that and then in addition to that if you do all the side quests and everything you go for a completionist run you're gonna double the game's length and you can equip seven pieces of gear if you guys missed that in the show open you know seven pieces of gear a wand gloves face headwear neckwear robe and cloak and outfit I you know and then the way they broke down the stats I I don't want to show I don't want to show the the image I'll you guys can find that on your own there's people putting it in the Discord if you want to see it is the alleged cut content okay to discuss could turn out to be controversial if true go there is a ledge there's a legend cut content what's the alleged cut content that could end up being you know another show or a short or something I've not heard about any alleged cut content barrier map scenes big enough to have a lot of activities in side quests yes there are images of the map circulating the map looks absolutely massive I was kind of interested in this game until I find out it was single player only uh right here we have somebody saying different houses will have different progression on individual main quests but will eventually wrap up into the same result students from a certain house will therefore visit Azkaban briefly okay so if he's saying that you you're not going to have a very different experience if you play from different houses there is a lot of side missions in the game including three side missions through the main line there's no fourth one Ravenclaw claw got thrown aside so this is the brand new official cinematic trailer 4K I'll let this thing play beginning to end I'll let you guys see Snippets of it in the show open I'll let it play now do me a favor there's already over 400 people here on YouTube get us to 200 likes we already have over 2 000 likes we have over a hundred people watching on the Ticky talk that's more than we've ever had over here it's in in London also as we see Big Ben in the background at the end yeah if you're watching over here on the Ticky talk you can't see the uh the trailer that I'm showing people that comes from the same source as the art book stuff so he's saying that they scrap some Side Quests for Ravenclaw I mean I'm not gonna be that upset about that I it sounds like there is just a massive amount of content yo quintar is gonna come in this is a great reason to be here as often as you can be over on YouTube he's gonna gift five members to start the day off as soon as this trailer is over I'll go back to the main scene and I will update the uh the count I love that shot of that Dragon man that fight looks pretty awesome and oh there we go the

the join button on YouTube or the star button on uh on the tick and then we greatly appreciate it aggravating I have the drop down selected to switch to live chat but it's gone stuck on top chat maybe they're getting rid of maybe they're getting rid of uh I don't know what happens when you click the little gear the little gears up there next to the scissors Sven yo good morning feed well this game uh last me till star field that's all I need to know well the current Hogwarts Legacy leaks are pointing to the fact that if you just play through the main story It's Gonna Give You 35 hours of Hogwarts Legacy gameplay then then in addition to that if you go doing all of the side stuff it's gonna give you 70 hours of gameplay right I'm here for the Epic t-shirts this is a full full cover print I'll show the the folks at YouTube how far down I mean it goes all the way down see this is a full front front cover print shirt for centipede from 80s tees if you like my shirt make sure uh you use my code over there 80st.com 80st.com will and then use my code use code Lono to get 30 off that shirt goes hard thank you and I switched my glasses to more of a Harry Potter style glasses today make sure and support me over there at gamer Advantage if you ever want to get yourself some blue light blocking glasses we are partnered with them thank you so much for another strong turnout we are very much looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy and thank you for almost 200 likes here on YouTube I want to know what y'all think though like when you hear about game length like this you hear like man Hogwarts Legacy is going to have basically 35 hours if you just want to complete the main story does that sound you know too does that sound too fast for you I'm sorry not too fast too long the opposite the opposite oh these are not infernos let me update this these are Lucid storm uh these are Lucid storm frames there we go I updated the glasses command it still works it still works code Lono still works over there thank you for using the glasses command quiet shy swade says not to be a broken record but it comes down to gameplay and content loop it's great if there's that much content I just hope it's done well in that repetitive map puke right we've talked about this before with games like Assassin's Creed where they're just kind of puke on the map and that's a concern right when you're playing through a game like this that's always a concern you know are are you gonna get tired of of swinging your wand around are you gonna get tired of the combat now when they started showing the dark arts battle arena or whatever they're calling it where you can like practice I got the Sensation that the combat was actually going to be quite a bit better than we originally thought there was more of a cinematic thrust it had this sort of you know moment-to-moment excitement you also have to remember that you know he was a very well experienced player a lot of people watch that Hogwarts Legacy gameplay and they were like I don't know doesn't seem that challenging I think you're on live chat when I click live chat below the video it takes me to the same thing yeah it just keep saying top chat up in the corner though goddesses you should try to put some of that into your Ticky talk live Banner it will display when you go live put I'm not sure what you mean put what in the banner like some of my sponsors Witcher 3 proved that side quests can be interesting but most long RPGs treat them like filler content right like next to us that's what I was thinking about I was like bro 35 hours for the main story and then another 35 hours to do all of the side quests like that's a lot of content uh I'm much more of a shorter gamer but says cliffo if the gameplay is good and the story is compelling to me and it makes me care I'll keep going I do think that's something they're gonna have to nail in Hogwarts Legacy you're gonna have to nail the story or people aren't gonna care they're gonna tap out really quick watch you on my Sony TV hey wherever y'all are watching the more often you're here on YouTube make sure you're logged in with your account and smashing like and all that so you get credit for being here when people start gifting members that's that's how you get gifted a member it's it's based off of loyalty and then you can be a part of like Friday night streams with my wife whenever I take a lunch break every day and hang out with people you can keep watching as a member on YouTube so consider that um you know consider becoming a member if you can afford it you know five bucks a month get you into all that extra content and thank you for watching wherever you're watching my overall play time for The Witcher 3 wild Hunt was around 452 hours that's a lot of hours have they said anything about the content being different between the houses imagining side quests could be locked to specific houses they have not said anything specifically so obviously you're going to get sorted like this and then you're gonna pick a house you don't have to pick the house that you get sorted to you can pick whatever ever you want you can also use the Wizarding World website to get pre-sorted and link your account with WB I got sorted in the Slytherin which is pretty exciting because I think it might have been Metallica somebody predicted I would end up in Slytherin now one of the the leakers said that there would be minor differences but depending on the house that you pick but the story ends up in the same place every time so it's not like if you play Slither and your ending is going to be different there's going to be different things along the way right what do I get with all the content you're mentioning I have no idea I I don't I don't know what you get right I I have no I I don't know I mean they've they've not necessarily said what you're gonna get now the the Hogwarts Legacy leaks showed a character screen with seven pieces of equippable gear and a lot of that gear had like tier level color on it so there's the likelihood that you're going to be maybe doing Quests for gear that might be better right seven pieces of gear so a wand gloves face headwear neckwear robe and cloak in your outfit now I don't know if getting a new robe and cloak or a new pair of gloves is gonna do anything for you but there were colors on those items that looked like you know when you play an RPG and there's like green gear blue gear purple and orange it looked like that it looked like there was different levels to the gear that the person had equipped do you think they might add Co-op later I would absolutely love that I would play this game numerous times with my wife that haven't had Co-op it's extremely disappointing that it doesn't have it a lot of people are searching for Hogwarts Legacy cross play which is hilarious to me it's almost like people assume they're gonna be able to play with others I literally saw that as a common search term for this game people are out there looking for Hogwarts Legacy cross play I mean what do you mean they never announced that you could play with anybody please please don't have a battle pass we have a video coming later today about the F Squad kill the Justice League and and that situation uh that's been sort of addressed by the devs that'll be an upload after the today's stream then our second live stream today this afternoon will be about for spoken right now we're talking about Hogwarts Legacy my producer he's logged in one of our on on one of our other accounts uh reforged rundown which is a great upload Channel if you prefer uploads versus live or you just want to support everything we do but he's saying Hogwarts Legacy online coming in Spring 2024. he thinks there's going to be like a Hogwarts Legacy online thing like later on they're just going to make it they're going to turn Hogwarts uh the school into a central Hub you'll have quidditch you'll have all these other things and all these other places that you can go that's what he thinks you can't earn the killing spell until very late in the game says Mac plus I really wish they would enable cross save one day companies will learn that people will buy a game multiple times with cross save yo Pinoy Prince hit in four months as a member what's up four months let's go I appreciate you all great vids great community over here on the Ticky talk we got uh about your channel yes when people join they can see what your channel is about oh I'll probably consider doing that I've not done much over here other than upload short form content and go live if this game were to come to co-op at some point I'd wager that it would be uh anyone's top five games they Incorporated the Rarity level similar to fortnite it's awesome have you do we have confirmation about that Rhett Mitchell do we have confirmation that they that they have a an actual like tier level of loot or are you just basing that off of what I said I'm curious if we've seen confirmation of that anywhere growing up on Harry Potter this makes me so happy how many hours you could pour into this game yeah I think a lot of people are going to look forward to the fact that the Hogwarts Legacy game length is huge if you guys missed my show open I do like an opening monologue with all the information it's 35 hours for the main story 70 hours if you go for a completionist run that's a lot that is a lot that is a lot of hours there's an opportunity for 1v1 PVP duels yeah maybe maybe I would be way less interested in that I would like to you know I would like to do what what they're doing here you're commonly seeing in the gameplay that you have a companion with you you're commonly walking around with somebody look at the size and scope of some of these areas as well I I think this game is is is beautiful and then obviously here is what you're talking about maybe like 1v1 dueling could be a possibility I I continue to think that's not really what I and many others are looking for Derek says I think even if it has a middling progression upgrade skill tree and a mystery to the story players are going to be hooked I don't anticipate people quitting I don't anticipate people quitting either this is what will be interesting to me how many non-harry Potter fans are gonna buy this game and be like it's actually a good game it's actually a good RPG that's what I've been curious about because I kept telling people I think the headlines for Hogwarts Legacy is going to be Hogwarts Legacy surprisingly deep RPG and the more they've talked about it and the more they've shown I'm like I I think I'm right I think I got that right like when they showed the room of requirement and all the customization what I kept saying when they showed the the common rooms what did I keep saying when they showed those rooms with all the different items I was like I hope that's not just window dressing I hope you can actually impact them and you can you can literally customize them and move stuff and decorate them I mean they've Incorporated Sim like simulation games Sim games they've Incorporated that into the game that's gonna be huge if you've never been here before and you're just tuning in by the way you're probably a big Harry Potter fan looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy welcome into reforge gaming a daily highly interactive live talk show like this and I am safe for work so whenever I play the games review the games or talk to games like this with you I do keep it safe for work you can throw me on in the background of your day a lot of people treat me like a radio show regardless of the topic we're just here talking games and they kind of lurk and listen like I'm some kind of a podcast so make sure you hit subscribe and the bell button on my channel so you don't miss my content smash the like button as well that helps more people find the show new Animal Crossings woohoo wait there's a new animal cross oh are you talking about the room of requirement how you can have like the different animals and stuff comfy gamer is that what you're talking about I I I I I was I was interested in that aspect not for me but I'm really interested in like what other people end up doing like what do they end up doing with their rooms what do they end up doing with their things now somebody asked a little bit ago about like Side Quests for the different houses and the leaker that brought us all this stuff he said that the different houses will have different progression on individual main quests but eventually they wrap up with the same result so you will have a different experience if you pick a different house looks like there's gear Rarity all right hang on a second barrier just found confirmation to offer gear Rarity in a screenshot from one of the official videos let me show this to you this is good this is good information uh is this gonna fit in the frame yeah right above me we got a nice screenshot here there's the purple like I said we saw we saw blue green purple and all that in one of the leaked footages but leaked pieces of footage um actually no it was leaked screenshots from an art book so right above me you can see snowy owl scarf it's extraordinary that's that's it's that's his tear right and the scarf is your neckwear that's one of the seven pieces of gear that you can equip and you can see it adds nothing to offense but it does add four to defense right and then behind me let me get out of the way let me let me let me move to the other side here you can see that it says no no trait applied right so there's a trait slot level no trait applied and then there's upgrades so it looks like you can upgrade it you can do a weave trait oh wait hang on that's out of the frame uh let me do this and let me see can I slide it there perfect um so you can see no trade applied and then down below down below it says let me do this let's go full screen and then let me change my cap card there we go okay so down here puffsky and fur is the trait requirements so if I hold down the x button I can weave a trade into this traits you have collected right no trade applied and then I can do this one down here and these are all the traits that I'm choosing from so protego shielding decrease damage taken from dark wizard decrease damage from you know dug bogs decrease damage from goblins so there is this level of RPG and you notice they put ones on them I wonder the one here protego shielding one I wonder if you can get like better versions of each of these protections and shieldings than they do different things so that's pretty interesting that they have that I mean that's just on your scarf like that's just on your scarf like that's that's pretty crazy if you think about it and uh if you guys haven't seen it yet when the trailer resets I'll uh I'll let you guys see I'll let this I'll let this thing Loop you guys want to see the brand new trailer they released today is a cinematic 4K trailer just released today that owl looks fantastic cinematics in this game are pretty awesome so this is obviously everybody's dream growing up reading Harry Potter to have one of these owls show up to your house yeah there's no beards in the game you're awfully you know you're awfully young there was concept art of this room the Great Hall having Christmas decorations up so the Christmas may take place in the game again there could be a live event I know there could be live service elements once you're done with the game the thing that I would tell people that are concerned about live service elements is if you get a story that's 35 hours long and side quests and completionist run that takes you to a total of 70 hours I don't think you can complain about live service you can completely ignore live service if you want you can say yeah I don't care I'm not going to do the live service stuff now that was an interesting shot right you got three wizard no no you have a wizard protecting citizens never mind I look like a wizard protesting uh protecting some uh some mud Bloods there um or some I'm sorry some Muggles drops it there you go come on that's pretty cool that's right I think the graphics are pretty good in these cinematics there you go so that's the brand new trailer that they dropped today now listen listen listen here's the thing here's the thing like I was saying if you're concerned about live service battle passes Live Events like suddenly Hogwarts is you know decorated with Christmas right if you got to enjoy a 35-hour story a 70 hour completionist run and then you do multiple houses maybe you do a second third and fourth run through from the game I literally don't think you can complain about I don't think you can complain about live service I don't live service equals microtransactions no not necessarily they've in fact said there'll be no micro transactions in the game and live service is not automatically equal like uh live um live service does not automatically equal uh microtransactions there are plenty of games that have ongoing support ongoing content and there are not teeny little micro transactions now microtransactions are not automatically the devil either I think you can do micro transactions in a good way right what examples do you have no man's Sky Diablo 3 like there are plenty of games that do ongoing there's also plenty of games that do ongoing and their micro transactions are totally fine there are there are ongoing games where the microtransactions are totally fine Destiny 2 would be one um what was the other one I was gonna list um Path of Exile I like I don't think you have a bunch of live service games like yeah here we go again like I'm gonna talk about that in my upload today about the S Squad kills the Justice League it's like call out the bad practices don't label everything bad if they just happen to do micros or live service but they do have Micro transactions right there are some that do live service without micro transactions there are some that do live service with them it's not a matter of whether or not microtransactions are good or bad automatically thank you for the five dollar tip DJ Steph so can we get one shot by the AK spell I'm not sure if a Vatican diver can kill you I I mean maybe I'm not sure somebody on a Discord of mine said the character tab is similar to The Assassin's Creed character tab it is I said that in my show open that is actually true that you will be you will find similarities there it uh Immortals Phoenix Rising would be another game that I would say that the character tab looked like right I don't think the NPCs can cast a vatic at the avra will they show them doing it in this trailer right the uh the the they they're trying to shoot down the owl and I think there may be there may be footage of a vatic cadaver showing up it's just the green cast right isn't it just a green cast or is that or is or all the bad spells green [Music] I think at one point when they showed the guy um doing the duel that he did Red and the other guy did Green okay so they're all doing green right there and then in this other trailer there's somewhere in this other trailer where he where he does somebody there's somewhere in this other trailer where he does red and the other guy does green is not all about a cadaver okay I'm pretty sure on the PS5 and the series X it'll run well but the series s the the Xbox One the PS4 are gonna struggle hence the delay yeah but they're not delaying it on the series s cosmetic micros are fine I would even say that the quality of the life uh quality of life micros are fine if a micro shop is required to get even more gameplay and more Hogwarts I'm 100 here for it right like again again you can't just jump to the conclusion that live service is bad wait so is live service just not abandoning the game then I mean live service is literally sometimes that yes this is why you shouldn't just automatically assume live service is terrible there are times where live service can be great they have optional cosmetics and they have a battle pass and guess what the world that you loved and experienced continues on and has more content for you to do right I don't know why people get so mad about micros you don't have to buy them that's what I was saying it's an add-on right it's optional exactly somebody over here on uh the Ticky talk saying that like listen to me listen for just a second from what we know right now the Hogwarts Legacy new leaks that we got 35 hour story 70 hours if you go completionist if they decide to do an ongoing content model or DLC or season passes that doesn't matter you got your money's worth why would you care what would it do like what would it do to your experience so let's just imagine you play through the game two or three times two or three different runs one was Slytherin you know one with Ravenclaw you're having a good time and then six months down the road they say we are announcing our ongoing road map for Hogwarts Legacy we have a Hogwarts Legacy road map we've got more content coming we're gonna start to do Live Events and season passes Hogwarts as a school is going to become a central hub for an ongoing game if you're like I don't like that you know what's so amazing you don't have to touch any of it you can just keep doing what you're doing you could do a couple more playthroughs or just be satisfied with the fact that you paid full price for a game and got an amazing amount of gameplay and value out of it do you know what I'm saying I don't I don't understand it at this point I have full confidence that you're going to get your money's worth out of this game for everything we've seen and heard and then if they decide to go on going or battle passes or micros which they've said no micro transactions they have Christmas and Halloween icons in the room of requirement this hints towards holiday events yeah exactly or just those things could happen throughout the story because they did show the outer grounds having snow on them exactly you don't have to do those events it's another aspect of it you're not having to exactly precisely completely right uh Fall Guys is doing good typically the objection to microtransactions says sleigh puffed or live service is because most games that have those practices follow a very similar pattern of development that is geared towards money extraction first what successful live service games are doing that right now and gameplay second what what where is the pattern in the market for successful live service games doing that I want you to make that case because I don't see it the games that are successful with ongoing live service literally don't do that they do the opposite of that which by the way I think combat in this game is going to be pretty fun look at this scene right here look at that that's going to be a fun fight I bet that guy looks tough that guy looks pretty tough uh wow all the best skins are in the shop whether or not a skin is good or bad is subjective that's that's not something that can be argued objectively bro really defending micro transactions what's wrong with microtransactions can you establish what's universally wrong with micro transactions or do you just speaking like platitudinous game speak like gamer lingo establish why microtransactions are bad why are they bad I I've I've not seen a compelling case for a while there why they're bad they enable games to continue to go on for people to continue to enjoy them like all of the games that do like the sixty dollars ones and then never any money again do you know what they're prone to cheesy pre-order bonuses Half Baked games games that were rushed to Market because they're trying to get you to buy the game at full price I can play the same game that you're playing games without micro transactions have a clear pattern of being rushed to Market being Half Baked using cheesy pre-order bonuses and not being good complete games so I I mean I could argue anecdotally and say yeah the absence of microtransactions is actually a bad thing I'm not saying that's a compelling argument have they seen Fallout 76 Fallout 76 was rough but again Fallout 76 was rough because it was rushed to Market like so many other games it wasn't necessarily rough because they tried to do live service Halo infant is a huge example Halo infinite is a far better example of a poorly managed game that was rushed to Market when it wasn't ready like Halo infinite if all Halo infinite had to do was mimic what like fortnite Apex and Call of Duty war zone do with their seasons and Halo infinite would have been praised literally the funny thing is is that Halo infinite's bad because it failed to be a good live service games look at that look at the live service games in its field that are crushing it and you look silly like look at fortnite look at eight packs look at Call of Duty war zone look at there look at their format for micros for battle passes look at their player engagement look at their Community satisfaction I mean maybe don't look at Call of Duty right now but look at Apex then look at fortnite historically Halo infinite failed to reach like the bare minimum of a good live service game so your indictment of live service games is not is not adequate you're not making a compelling case you're pointing to games that are just bad games I think that's not compelling at all as I said the pattern in the market is successful ongoing live service games don't do any of the things that you're talking about they don't prioritize extracting money from you first and gameplay suffers they don't do that and if they do they're not going to be a successful live service games doesn't God of War Ragnarok have pre-order bonuses yeah are you making a compelling Point are you just drawing a false equivalency to what I was trying to say I wasn't saying that all pre-order bonuses are bad I was saying that there's a common theme within games that launch without microtransactions they primarily focus on getting all of your money up front and then the game launches and it's not ready that's a pattern in the market if you can't see that pattern in the market you have been paying attention to the last decade of video game launches that that's what I mean that doesn't make pre-order bonuses universally bad microtransactions are not universally bad battle passes in Live service are not universally bad they're not you I've not no one's made a compelling case yet you just pointed the games that were bad that's not a compelling case with Gamers concerns about microtransactions in a premium game Diablo 3 had a number of micro transactions I was able to finish the entire game without any paywall encounter yeah I I think people need to do more research into the cost of game development and the scope and size of games like this you're thinking too unidimensionally you think every game should be this build it and ship it for sixty dollars and then never talk to me again right like never talk to me again that's all that's all I want you to do and if you do anything beyond that it's scummy it's it's a it's a cash grab uh all you're trying to do is take advantage of the player uh and gameplay will suffer and the content is going to get thinned out and it's like it's like okay so every game's supposed to fit into that happy little format that you think is ideal and is the best so turn the entire gaming industry into a very uni-dimensional one-dimensional delivery of content full price games with no additive content no micro transactions no ongoing Live support that's it with respect that's stupid like that's just a stupid View that's that's that's not how things work like you can have a Cascade you can have uh an entire canvas of different styles of content delivery formats you can do that I I don't I don't think it's that big of a deal I think people create you know the Boogeyman in a lot of these scenarios is it true the star feels delayed I mean we'll have an upload about that over on our upload Channel I'm not covering that here today because we literally just covered that the other day there is a recent update from Maddie plays I'm we're covering that on reforge Rundown that's why you should be subscribed to all three channels if especially if you're a fan of Diablo we got three channels for you now this channel rundown in the uh in the reforged dungeon I got a video coming I believe today about should you skip the story in Diablo 4. funny how we complain about micro transactions and in sports games are astronomically the worst so we should just be happy with it and make sure they don't go overboard uh I don't have any problem with micro transactions if it supports a healthy gaming ecosystem community and the Skins are aesthetically appealing to me right this guy must have a hard on when his phone company sends him hidden fees you must have the inability to engage in an intellectual discussion as you use some sort of juvenile colloquialism about something with respect to whether or not I get excited about being charged more money you're not even entering the landscape of discussion you probably lack the intellectual ability too so you're just entering into some sort of like I don't know what is that like 13 year old vocabulary joking ingesting like get on the landscape of the discussion or get the frick out like either get into the discussion like an adult or go somewhere else I don't know go find a fortnight stream or something which attack random students I don't think you can attack random students no like defending different monetization structures doesn't mean I'm okay with hidden fees or or hiding things from the public or the consumer like I called out the gotcha mechanics that are potentially going to be in blue protocol I called out the bad micro transaction practices in Diablo Immortal in fact I had two very successful Diablo Immortal streams with over 20 000 views each and I stopped streaming that game because on principle I didn't want to support a game with bad microtransaction practices because that takes thought and Nuance right I apt I like I I analyzed the game came to conclusions about its practices and I decided I'm not going to cover it I considered it I waited I said maybe I could play Diablo Immortal and just be a free-to-play player and I was like no I can't do that on principle I will no longer cover Diablo Immortal but but instead you want me to just like what say all microtransactions are bad will that make your fee fees feel better like to have your weird like tribalistic neanderthalic view of the world affirmed by a stranger on the internet like does that make your emotions feel better to have me affirm your very simplistic view of the of the topic like microtransactions are not universally bad I know that's upsetting to a simplistic view of the world but expand your horizons expand your view of the topic there are plenty of games that do battle pass live service and micro transactions they do it totally fine it's a live service Immortal was just trying to survive and make a little money trying to survive what do you mean trying to survive is economically crushing it especially ones that landed in markets outside the West what about if you kill a random student I don't think you can kill random students I don't think that's an option in the game there's no morality in the game by the way but I don't think you can just like walk around Hogwarts and start killing students microtransactions are often the company's way of extracting max value from the consumer in exchange for the least value offered particularly at launch I've not seen that evidence in the Market at least not successfully I've not seen that evidence in the market I don't see anybody successfully doing that extracting maximum value from the consumer while delivering poultry offerings what games have done that successfully the games that have tried to do it have failed miserably games that launch incomplete games that launch Bland games at launch lacking you know content or ongoing model or or good support they fail like it the Market's not supporting it the Market's not supporting what you're claiming is a standard I don't see it what about Madden okay yes you can go to the sports games and say these are standards that we're seeing in sports games sure no doubt in my mind there is a willing consumer base supporting that in sports games but generally speaking across the board games that do micros games that do live service are not are not doing the things that people in chat are asserting it's just it's just platitudinous simplistic dialogue about it it's just reductionism it's just very simplistic like summary summary statements you're just speaking in platitudeness uh Expressions this is the brand new trailer from today by the way but like if if Hogwarts Legacy decided to do any of those things it's not a matter of being like that's it game's ruined no you would look at the individual practices and say did they do tasteful ongoing content ads did they do good micro transactions or bad micro transactions you're talking about a game that we just just today the Hogwarts Legacy leaks are pointing to a campaign that is 35 hours long if you go completionist run it's 70 hours long you also have the potential of four total playthroughs with the four different houses so being worried about microtransactions or additive content or ongoing content doesn't make any sense to me as long as a single game does astronomically well offering live service and microtransactions more and more Studios will continue to do this they will have to because of the shareholders and fiduciary responsibility having a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders does not necessarily mean they must do live service micros or scummy practices it's all about risk assessment homie you are correct they're gonna weigh it and say we have a fiduciary duty to our shareholders to maximize profits but that doesn't mean they're going to do practices some of the practices you guys are talking about have harmed the launches of games a lot of these games a lot of these practices you're referring to haven't gone well for the people that have tried it it hasn't you understand what I'm saying before microtransactions profitability was often more closely tied to a game's quality and value to the player now profitability is more about fomo and tweaking knobs in the brain to get us to spin I think that's unsubstantiated I think what's easier to substantiate team November is that profitability was not linked to the game's quality and value profitability of a game was linked to over hyping it with trailers misleading the public getting them to pre-order and maximizing the first two weeks of sales which do you think leads to healthier practices and ongoing Revenue stream model so a game can be supported improved and tweaked long term or the waterfall model of hype hype hype hype pre-order pre-order pre-order pre-order and then we get the game and it's nothing like what they promised which that's that was typical for games prior to ongoing models micro transactions and live service ideas about we can we can subsidize and support this game ongoing which do you think is better like it's it's not it's not that like one leads to the detriment of games they both have their own pitfalls I think ongoing monetization subsidization models are more healthy because game development and the scope of games and the projects themselves are getting so large I don't think you can continue to do the old way of doing things build build build build build ship hopefully we make all our money back if if we don't then I don't know what's gonna happen like if you reading the books or any of the research on how the you know the margins for these projects were razor thin I I don't I don't think that that was a sustainable business model there were people they were industry analysis saying they were like this is not a sustainable model you can't keep doing this the cost of games has gone way way up you're not going to make enough on that first week of sales it's not it's not feasible because the cost of games didn't rise with inflation and the cost of the projects continued to bloat out you're absolutely right I think that is what people wish was not true that's what I'm saying that's what I'm saying like that cycle had to come to an end I'll let you guys see the trailer again this is the brand new trailer from today I'll let it Loop that cycle had to end now what that doesn't mean hear me say this I'm not saying like micro transactions and live Services the savior of gaming but there had to be another business model to allow games of a certain size and a certain type to survive if you want a game to be playable and enjoyable two months three months after launch you you need something subsidizing that that's a business reality like quit with the doe eyed dum-dum sentimentality about video games like you you look like you look like a little doe-eyed cartoon character like all we need are big games and no micros like stop that like think about it from a business perspective like elevate your your your your sort of ideas about this like get out of this simplistic view of it it's a business reality you you cannot have games of a certain type surviving off of the first two weeks of sales it's not possible and then what are they supposed to do what are they supposed to do so many people look at plan DLC and they claim the same thing they're like plan DLC is scummy wait what what do you mean plan DLC is scummy so they're only supposed to bank on the first couple of weeks of money and then immediately move on to another project yeah we're done with that game five years to build it we shipped it two weeks is where we make most of our money in the first two weeks of sales we can't have any planned DLC because that's scummy we can't have any micro transactions because that's scummy can't do live service or battle passes or ongoing content models because that's scummy so time to move on to the next project time to time to go get a bunch of more money from a publisher and get our next project backed like what in the world aoz was six months of uh membership nice Milestone game live Services need quality for people to continually Buy in like Final Fantasy saying Standalone purchases game needs higher quality as nonsense remember up best show on YouTube thank you my man I appreciate that guys we've already gotten five members today on the member goal if this hits 25 I have to give five back consider becoming a member if you're enjoying the dialogue the banter and the back and forth we have passionate discussions but we keep it respectful you know I keep it safe for work make sure you subscribed to my channel here on YouTube make sure you're following over on the Ticky talk and you're smashing the like button over here 4 000 likes over there and over here on YouTube almost 800 viewers we should easily have 400 likes make sure you're smashing that button it helps more people find the video they need new content to keep people happy Derek says planned well-planned DLC is the best a full extra add-on on top of a quality on quality is exactly what I want when finishing an awesome game they say the actual name we say Ticky talk I don't like saying the full name of the of that platform over there every game should spend 30 million in four years to count on five weeks of its release Lono get real man you're crushing the world's view of Gaming like listen to what my producer just said like think about that every game should have like a millions and millions of dollar budget spend four to five years and count on making it all back in five weeks like it's not sustainable man it isn't this guy got bought it's always funny to me when someone who's clearly never been here wants to make a drive-by comment and take a swipe at my integrity why don't you grow up are you that insecure oh no someone's saying something thank you for the flame over here on Tick Tock someone's saying something that doesn't line up with my view well I'm gonna resort to an infantile reaction and I'm gonna insult the person like how old are you you hear something that doesn't line up with your view and you resort to like what children do which is to take a swipe at the person you know call me a name next like call me something please like complete the circle let us all know your your intellectual capacity please before I purchase a game I like to know if they plan to make DLCs for it or not no DLCs I'll wait for the game to go on sale to get it as cheap as I can with DLCs I usually buy it right away you're defending microtransactions because you've been conditioned oh I've been conditioned this is wonderfully condescending like explain to me why I've formulated this opinion sure I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years people defend nfts you get used to a greedy system and uh they will defend it for you the what's hilarious to me is you're totally and obviously unfamiliar with my content because when it comes to bad microtransaction processes and practices I call them out and I call them terrible I refuse to cover certain games because of it we've literally wiped games off of our dry erase board of planned content because I'm like I don't want to cover that game right I don't want to cover a game that has bad scummy micro transaction practices so to say I've been conditioned it's just condescending like to act as if I didn't formulate this opinion based on Research search market analysis looking at what actually works and what doesn't work looking at the practices of the industry like you've been conditioned then like to just want big budget full price games with no ongoing micro transactions you've been conditioned to think that's good like that doesn't argue anything you get people used to a greedy system they will defend it for you when uh when people offer change that's simply untrue you you haven't substantiated a couple of your premises so your your logic's a little faulty you have to establish that microtransactions are greedy you have to establish that you haven't established that you haven't established that going with an ongoing content model thank you so much for sending some more stuff over here Prince Mosey official send some stuff over here I'm sorry I didn't see that you have to establish that in order for your premise to stand established that microtransactions are greedy and then you have to establish that greed and seeking profit is bad and once you substantiate that premise you've demolished every single business practice in existence as well as fiduciary duties to shareholders you don't have a coherent point you you don't have a coherent point because even if you establish if you somehow figure out a way to establish in a compelling way that microtransactions are greedy then we have to say is greed wrong what you're doing is you're injecting an ethical and moral like uh imperative into the discussion you're trying to formulate an ethical and moral imperative into business practice businesses seeking to maximize profit is not moral or ethical unless it comes to the treatment of people like if people are treated poorly like if they're you know changed to the desk if they're forced to do you know terrible things if they're not paid appropriately like if they're ripped off by you know the company or whatever or if or if their contract is is uh has got things baked into it that are illegal right so if a company is saying this Project's gonna cost this much money we want to maximize profit on it so that way we honor our fiduciary duty to our shareholders and that way we can invest in future projects that is quite literally what every single business does some of you guys just dead on us give it away that you've never made it Beyond like low-level employee status at a company the minute you even get into like a management position of the company you start to get a grip on the fact that like every single business in existence does this they analyze what it takes to make things run and they maximize profit they quite literally have to but the doe-eyed sentimentality about the world is well profit is evil because I read a compelling tweet from somebody and these companies are just greedy well that's just platitudeness and reductionist it's not based on anything in reality it's just this ideological view of business well companies shouldn't care about profit great then all of their all of their employees will lose their jobs and they'll shudder and shut down you know what I'm saying this dude is waffling so hard go Google waffling and then come back right I know it might be hard to use dictionary.com maybe you don't know how to spell it but go Google what the definition for waffling is and then and then maybe come back what have I waffled on establish your position rather than asserting an insult games have cost 60 to 70 dollars since around 2002 if you adjust for inflation they should cost around a hundred dollars that's what I'm saying right that's what I'm saying like if you look at the format right of what they were doing it it's not surprising at all that it stopped working big budgets price of games not moving bigger staff required bigger bigger bigger development bandwidth required longer timeline to shipping a game and then what we gotta make it all back we gotta make all the money back in two or three years like if you look at any of the research into this if you look at any of the analysis of the market a couple like probably like five or ten years ago everybody was saying the same thing they were saying this isn't sustainable the garden variety game development cycle was go to a publisher get a massive massive amount of money okay get a massive amount of money and then what you need to do is build the game within four to five years and then ship the game sell it at full price do everything you can to get pre-orders and then you've got to move on to the next project because now you've got to take everything that you earned from it and the margins were razor thin so multiple companies were shutting down back then because they couldn't make profit the budgets for the games were getting too high too large to make back their money the guy just made up cost uh uh games have not cost 60 to 70 since 2002 yes they have we've literally researched this video games and cartridges when I was buying like Super Nintendo cartridges you go back to the 90s video games were between 60 and 80 dollars video games back when I was buying cartridges for my Nintendo were literally between 60 and 80 and if you account for inflation that means we were basically spending between 100 to 120 on games back then that's what it was equal to that's what it was equal to like it was very expensive it was a very expensive hobby back then now you had plastic costs for cartridges you had shipping costs right and now you sell to a much higher quantity of consumer base right I just Googled it was 49 okay well confirmation bias is wonderful we did extensive research on this what you're saying is false every single game back then did not cost fifty dollars that is simply untrue you need to do more extensive research than doing one Google search and using confirmation bias to find something that confirms the point that you already made off priori before coming to the conversation like games are cheaper now the other thing you have to consider is rygin thank you for 16 months and for doing VIP yeah you also got a nice instruction manual the other thing you have to consider is just compare the fact that like the Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past was roughly 60 or 70 dollars at the time of purchase the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild was sixty dollars at the time purchase and compare the games in substance and size and playability how many hours did you get out of the Legend of Zelda Link to the Past compared to the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild it's not even comparable you're spending less money for more games right 43 I've been a gamer since 85. it's not confirmation bias yes it is I'm 41. I've been gaming since the original Nintendo actually since before that with the coleco and I we we literally have uh advertisements old old magazine clippings and and any research you do into this will show you that cartridges back then cost anywhere from 60 upwards to 80 dollars 60 to 80 dollars what you're saying is simply untrue games were not always fifty dollars back then that is simply not true do you want to see a Toys R Us ad you know I mean maybe you were constantly going to a store that was selling things used after market or who knows what here you go here's a Toys R Us ad all right 70 60 60 40 70 60 40 70. look at the price variance up to 70 dollars for video games back then especially when you had big games like the one up here that's a Street Fighter game and then you had NBA hang time here for seven it's probably a licensing deal that caused that now Donkey Kong Country had been discounted down to like 52 now that's after coupon it says so there you go the games were very expensive back in the day they were as I said they were between 60 and sometimes upwards to eighty dollars we've we've found some advertisements from back then where some games were eighty dollars yeah more expensive packaging you had more expensive material costs for the cartridge and the games did not even have remotely close to the density and the longevity of games that we get now right well is this is somebody trying to bring this up over here um hang on normalize separating content from the content creator wrong let me see this guy it's free not sport yeah you know what's also free it's not listen to idiots like you bye uh mute account for the entire live yeah go to Twitter where you're where your momentary faux activism gets a couple of clicks for a day with your selective morality as you use uh as you use Ticky talk like imagine trying to wax righteous while using Ticky talk on a on a mobile device I just unbelievable compare the profit of Ocarina of Time To Breath of the wild I'd be interested to see how that changes the discussion on the cost of games right slay puffed I I made allowances for that I made allowances for that think about it from this perspective think about it from this perspective now the reason we're discussing this for the people that are tuning in we're discussing Hogwarts Legacy the Hogwarts Legacy new leaks are pointing to a game length of 35 hours for the main story 70 hours for being completionist right okay that's a big game and I was pushing back on people being worried about if they do any additive content if they do any live service content model long term so we're debating on whether or not that should happen now what we're talking about now is cost of games the budgets and the bandwidth getting far larger okay I made allowances for the fact that yes the quantity of sales is very different right quantity of sales is very different hey our first order of coffee three bags of frickness to Leo duck that's our first order of coffee who wants to be the next member we're 20 away from the daily goal we haven't missed this goal since like mid-november let's keep that streak going let's reward some of the people that are here hanging out being loyal and let's hit 400 likes on the YouTube video we just hit 5 000 likes over on the Ticky talk so I will make allowances for the fact that the quantity of sales is far greater now like look at the system saturation for the Nintendo switch and consider how many of those people potentially bought breath of the wild it's astronomically higher than how many copies they sold of The Legend of Zelda linked to the Past it's not even a comparable thing right it's a leviathan-like comparison that helped stay the tide the increase in the quantity of sales helps stay the tide so that video games did not have to align themselves with inflation that's a fact that that's readily acceptable however the market saturation of video games started to fold in on itself there are way more video games to buy there are way more games that you can play now and buy which means some games don't get a crazy awesome quantity of sales they get overshadowed by the big dogs which means that big huge budget that big massive scope of the project they have a more difficult time recouping that cost which means games of a certain type needed to come up with different monetization practices and subsidization practices to keep their games going and to have those games be supported like you have to see this is not as simple as every game like back in the day I paid for the game once and I got a complete game yeah Super Nintendo games cost you anywhere from 60 to 80 dollars which was roughly according to inflation that's roughly a hundred to a hundred and twenty dollars back then that's that that's how much it was that was big going going to the store and buying a game was like dropping 100 something bucks on something that was expensive it was an expensive Hobby and the size and scope of those games are like what like take take the Legend of Zelda Link to the Past that's like a DLC on an indie title these days I can play Indie titles for 20 bucks that have the size and the depth and the play length of the Legend of Zelda Link to the Past so you you've got to look at it that way you gotta say wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute these games back then yes you spent that much money and yes it was a complete game but they were significantly smaller in scope and size so when you want really big awesome games like this with huge open worlds all these missions all these story lines amazing amount of dialogue like it's just a number of dialogue lines in a game like this back then it would have blown our mind like oh my gosh how do they manage to do that it has enough dialogue lines and if you added them all up would equal like what probably like three or four movies well if we won all of those things there's got to be other ways to support that than just the initial purchase why do you think they're pushing so hard to have deluxe edition sales of Hogwarts Legacy and pre-order bonuses and Collector's Editions look at the marketing they put behind this game for the record I got hundreds of hours out of that game because I sucked yeah I was talking about that with uh my Korean friend we were talking about different video games you know and things that he saw growing up in Korea and I said that games were just very different back then because he got an original he got one of those little mini Nintendos and they're playing some of the old games like those old games are hard and that's where the longevity came from a lot of the replay value from those old games was like quite literally influenced by uh Pachinko pinball and arcade games the idea of we'll make more money from this person if they keep failing and dying and that influence early game development that arrived in the home longevity came from difficulty our services gonna be a wonderful game not to mention the cost of voice actors yeah costs of voice actors somebody says do you think they'll add multiplayer I think I already answered that I would love to see them at it later yes Hogwarts doesn't need those things for Success so it's not a good example of a game needing to find different way to generate Revenue we don't know that Eugene we don't know what kind of Licensing they have to pay we don't know what kind of royalty share they have to pay we don't know what level of marketing what like what was the marketing budget alone right you're probably correct it's likely that you're right it is it's likely that you're correct and they're gonna make like buckets of cash my defense of Hogwarts Legacy doing it was at this point okay at this point if this game decides to do any ongoing content right you get you get your worth out of it Hogwarts Legacy is gonna flop it's like it's like broken every pre-order record on Steam sure it's gonna flop like the first Harry Potter game in a really long time and it's gonna flop it's like the most it's like the most pre-ordered game out there right now it'll probably be the biggest commercial success this year next to only Diablo 4 I think I only think Diablo 4 will rival it yo David Riddick our first new member of the day we had five gifted members but that's a new

you haven't seen an advertisement for the last hour have you that's why we do live streams with like no ad breaks now if you come back and watch the VOD later there's ads but it doesn't disrupt the show because it's no longer live it's a past broadcast you hope it does flop cool cool I I hope it does incredibly well so it shuts everybody up who thinks like momentary virtue signaling and and convenient morality makes them feel better about themselves uh silent Shadow hadn't hit in half a year six months and it's a VIP and a whole year from Moody thanks for jumping back in and the slickness jumping back in at three months look how many people are are renewing their memberships it's a great time to jump in if you refresh the stream you'll get an ad before yeah but how many people are doing that I run a long form show you like you you come in and can sit here for a couple of hours and not see a single ad like that's the point like I I can run one right now I could disrupt the show constantly every 30 minutes Bing every 30 minutes Bing right sorry but it's not virtue signaling okay well I I don't have the patience or the time to explain to you why it's a juvenile view that that person that person has anything to do with this I just don't have time to explain that to you I really really don't I'm sorry I don't want anybody to feel hurt but I also I just can't entertain the lack of just the lack of intellectual honesty can't do it I don't have patience for it find somebody that cares about that I don't I care about you as a person but I don't care about that subject at all it's so intellectually bankrupt I'm here for the Hogwarts content but I stay for the compelling and I'll uh and I'll Stick Around great so far well thank you I appreciate that so so much if you want to see a game fail at least have a legit reason you're absolutely correct uh the share they will have to pay for the license is huge one of the most popular IPS of All Time Imagine The Leverage of the rights holder right yeah infinite was seven months thank you so much that's a VIP listening to talks is always a blast thanks for doing what you do thank you so much how does Licensing in the game work if the IP holder and the developer are the same company well because okay so the developer is not the same company this the developer was Avalanche so the the IP holder the IP holder licenses out for them to sell it which means more than likely the bulk of the money is going to go to the IP holder as well as any royalty share with anybody attached to it there's also all the voice actors that were paid right that's not a legit reason no it's not a legit reason because people use that word in a in a false and intellectually bankrupt way throw that word around all you want it only it only gets traction on Twitter where the interactions in the discourse are thoughtless anybody with any education philosophy or morality finds that whole debate just to be incredibly childish yeah it's not a worry about them making money right it's not a worry about them not making money and that wasn't anything that I was indicating my argument in favor of hey the the the ongoing potential of content in Hogwarts Legacy is totally fine because if you're going to get a 35 hour story and a 70 hour completionist run if they decide to do additive content later battle pass season pass that's that's fine that doesn't affect you you had a great experience you got a full awesome experience Yo Joe Vivian thanks for jumping back in as a v i p and no saying that is not that word that is merely uh a violent way to impose your morality on other person that's the grand irony keep doing it it won't it won't win you any friends or Allies I think the fact that the game Market is dominated the top end by large IPS is why so many smaller devs are going free to play model with microtransactions that's exactly what I indicated earlier it was like bro the the market is so saturated sure you can make a ton of quantity of sales compared to what you used to make but it's also a whole lot harder to get people's attention about your game right it's really hard to get people's attention about your game now it's like well my gosh there's so many games out there what morale is that exactly yours defined by you not defined by truth or anything other than that it's subjective to what you think is true you know what I mean you know what I'm saying uh let's do this actually I'll tell you what mute and mute I don't like interacting with people like you research the company that made the device you're typing on and see how righteous you are research is a company that owns the software that you're using your selective morality is funny the game is going to be one of the most successful games of 2023 and potentially get nominated for Game of the Year this game is not going to flop no it's not gonna flop it isn't like my defense of ongoing content like if they decide to do live service if they decide to do DLC they decide to do a season pass right that shouldn't affect you at all if you're against it right if you're against that then that shouldn't affect you you will you can buy this game at full price and you can get a ton of value out of it and then you walk away you see what I'm saying like you you don't have to be against ongoing content ongoing DLC or live service you know what I'm saying yo my man slay puffed oh my gosh that's a big one that's a big one VIP gold gee money Christmas I'm gonna get I'm gonna Mark that down as two I'm bumping us to eight that's a big big membership that puts us at eight out of 25 for the day my man sleigh pup jumping in that's a big membership a lot a lot of people already today becoming members thank you so much slay puff for jumping in if you guys do a member Plus or higher I periodically do uploads just for you all members get into the live streams that are for members but I did like a studio tour for member plus and up as a way to say thanks for doing a little bit higher ongoing content is the reason that I've been playing Destiny since the day it released that's what I'm saying but that's what I'm saying like the ongoing ongoing content models can be great right listen I especially think they can be great if the base game is solid right been enjoying the gaming discussions last few days appreciate it I appreciate all of the new folks that have been hanging out I really do if you've been one of the folks hanging out on either platform whether you're over on the mobile platform or

Borderlands 2. we had this discussion a while ago about project lll which is a potential live service game coming out right like with similarities to like the the division and uh and Destiny and one of the things that Eugene said was build a good game first then do live service right I disagree with that at some level but at other levels I'm like no I actually think that could work in a game like this I think it could work you take the time to build this amazing game you take the time to build this amazing Hub of of the school of Hogwarts right and and then you just build on to that later on you've got all these places you can go all these stories you can tell and underneath of that is a super super strong Foundation no one could complain about that no no one could complain about that you

them out I partnered with them they send me these shirts you can go to adcs.com and you can use code Lono to get 30 off it's a big discount a lot of their stuff is is gone up a little bit in price because it's all official licensed merch which is why that discount's so helpful I can see you being a swan though because you're always so prim and proper with your grooming you are a swan always seeking attention that's why you're a streamer I'm primping proper with my grooming I did notice this camera angle it shows how I did a pretty good job with my beard this last time obviously it's I did this on Sunday so the the the neck is growing in a little bit but I noticed that in one of the shots I was like I did a pretty good job with my beard this last time I'm still working with into the am as well as anatos but our sales with them slowed down and when that happens they stop sending you shirts so you can still use my code at into the am I still get credit you still get a discount if a bunch of people do that in one month you know I'll reach out and say Hey you know send me some more stuff right what what are the leaks I'll give you a recap I've been streaming for an hour and a half so that's why we're not necessarily just continuing to repeat them but I'll give them to you you ask so nicely in all caps so the Hogwarts Legacy new leaks were from the art book A guy got his hand on the art book early apparently the story is going to take 35 hours a completionist run will take 70 hours and then let me um let me get into my word document with all of my show notes here give me one second oh I closed my show notes oh no I didn't close my show notes Here We Go the other thing that came from the art book is seven total pieces of equippable gear a wand gloves face headwear neckwear Robin cloak and outfit seven pieces of equippable gear the equippable gear does have tier levels we saw blue green orange and purple so that is that RPG element and you can add traits to them with materials that you find out in the world so very very lengthy open world RPG 35 hours just for the main story 70 for a completionist run that same leaker has indicated that if you do pick different houses the progression of side quests will be slightly different but they will fundamentally end the same way so your story will be different but marginally different depending on the house that you choose so there is replay value in picking different houses but generally speaking that's the way that it's going to unfold my man dusk jumping back in as a member on YouTube somebody has been taking care of me for months so I'm truly grateful I listen and then on Spotify mostly so I'm gonna send it forward thank you dusk so so much I greatly appreciate that yeah anytime you guys get gifted a

got a Diablo game we got Starfield we got we got we got well we got Spider-Man did I already say Spider-Man I think I said Star Wars so what's the best build to focus on in return all that's not how this works actually think he you there are things you can do with your build throughout a run fuzzy that you can choose between certain weapons and certain perks within reason right if you're choosing between two weapons there are some basic tips that you can you can apply but yeah you can't really do a build it's what drops in the game but if you're choosing between certain weapons there are some weapons that are really good like a hollow Seeker versus a um what's that one rot lobber or whatever the frick it's called um there are some weapons that are just not conducive to survival unless you're a very experienced player that's really upgraded all of the weapons so like Hollow Seeker there's a couple that are a little bit more like I would say accessible weapons that perform well if you don't get those weapons in the Run there's nothing you can do right but there are weapons to keep your eyes open for right electropylon driver yeah the driver is really strong um I love I love what what's the one winding up spinning up or whatever it's called on the on the carbine oh my gosh I heard Rock Lobster oh gosh I pray this game isn't a total flop I don't think it's gonna be a total flop it sounds like it's gonna be a real dense game right the hollow Seeker will I'll focus on that tonight I've enjoyed the shoddy with the slug shot he's not bad fast Flex if you get it really really well uh upgraded yeah yeah some of the guns especially like if they're close range they're not necessarily bad it's just that you're gonna need to really spend time upgrading them or they're gonna struggle they're gonna struggle whiskey needs answering the question thank you for doing this you guys can do this as well if you want I'll read as many as I can whiskey neat got Hufflepuff Eagle Patronus Sycamore Phoenix core one so excited to see how we get our wand in Hogwarts Legacy I bet you it's one of the earliest quests where you like go get it from the guy in the town right the

we've had an amazing push over here amazing push over here on the on the mobile platform where we stream I would love to figure out how to do the horizontal streaming I could send you the exact same

Hudson Reckless Gambit Trent Lou Wallen I still want to try to do a show with Steve I got to figure out how we could do it because we do a little bit of a different thing on Fridays now but it'd be amazing to try to do a show with you oh man I have to think about I have to brainstorm what could you bring to the table with all your no man's Sky uh knowledge and expertise we could have an amazing discussion I just got to think of what what could it be sadly uh no man's sky is it doesn't really work all that well for us anymore I love that game it's it's one of my favorite games I can't play or cover it just doesn't fit with what we do their marketing is just so hard it's so hard to cover it if you're a No Man's Sky Channel I think their marketing is fine but if you're not a No Man's Sky channel it's so difficult to cover their stuff Sean Murray will tweet out like an emoji and like that's their that's their big push so Captain toasty buns gifts a member taking us to 28. if that number Hits 50 I have to do it again by the way so you guys can keep going if you'd like might have to wait a bit longer but we deserve the same opportunity to play that new gen I'm used to Auto clicker to get those like oh no don't do that you're using an auto clicker to get the likes up I missed Subway's Five Dollar Foot long I miss the commercials no I don't I those commercials were super annoying been doing cup of tea videos now all open World Games with big monsters not just no man's Sky really take no offense to this I didn't know you were doing that I am so busy I've I've not been able to check your channel in a while I I think you probably understand and relate to that as busy as you probably are as well I didn't know you were doing that okay let me take a peek over there and see if I can't cook something up it'd be really fun to do a show be really fun to do a show with you if you do any content like that if you record anything with other people uh feel free to reach out I'd love to do that so both uh solono both maternal and T Lou remake part one are 60 on PC well lesson learned Spider-Man Leslie learned lesson learned Spider-Man no probs chap I like the work and lurk and catch up on your content thank you I appreciate that I love no man's sky but I haven't seen any news about a new Expedition you gotta follow guys like Captain Steve guys subscribe to Captain Steve if you want no man's Sky coverage and a very very polite and enjoyable voice you know good content over there seriously you're gonna get stuff from him he ain't gonna get from me I don't I don't I can't cover all that stuff Wheezy says that's why I'm very curious now that's what I'm saying like why did they do that with Spider-Man man I think that was ego that was ego they should not have done that with Spider-Man it wasn't as commercially successful as other games you know what I'm saying and even in D2 it's annoying to play previous gen skipping all over the screen I'm not gonna argue with you classy there's a really good article I was gonna react to I don't think I did where it was arguing that the latest PlayStation trailer and announcements is showing that like old um old old Jen's getting left behind no man's Sky coverage why because it's one of the one of the most amazing like Cinderella Man stories we've ever seen in gaming have you paid any attention to the game lately it is quite literally it might as well be a sequel to the original game it might as well be called No Man's Sky 2. it's phenomenal at this point regular Expeditions which is basically seasonal format content such an amazing experience so many beautiful updates all for free all for free no man's sky is quite literally one of the best turnaround stories if not the best turnaround story in video game history I don't know if another game matches it as far as a comeback kid I don't think anything else comes close personally yes I'll be streaming Hogwarts when it comes out yes 60. the difference between these two games is effing hilarious yeah the forespoken PC features and and maternal yeah yeah our second show today is about forespoken yep yeah yeah it is it is it is it is it uh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that one that one's looking rough that one's looking rough cheers all yeah you guys definitely need to check out uh Captain Steve um no man's sky is up there with A Realm Reborn when it comes to comeback stories Catch Me Up On A Realm Reborn I'm not familiar with that one if you guys are just tuning in Hogwarts Legacy leaks I'll give you a recap for anybody that's stumbling in here it's like they're not talking about Hogwarts all right okay okay okay brand new 4k trailer drops today Hogwarts Legacy 4K cinematic trailer looking looking at it right here I'll let you guys see it a couple of times the uh the recap so there was a Hogwarts Legacy leak the art book got into somebody's hands early and the Hogwarts Legacy story is going to last about 35 hours and if you do a completionist run it will be 70 hours also contained in the art book leaks seven equippable items uh that will potentially have tiers of of quality like green purple you know uh blue things like that and uh looking very very promising we've had some debates today about whether or not they could do an ongoing service model add-on content DLC additive stuff like battle passes and the like some of the concept art had the Great Hall decorated for Christmas so obviously that makes people wonder could they do like live Service events could they turn the Hogwarts School into a central Hub to add on to later my producer has speculated that we could see a Hogwarts online added later or or done as a separate thing because you got quidditch other Wizarding schools you could go to you even have all the stuff that they've done with Fantastic Beasts there's a lot of things that they could do with the game just the um room of requirement uh things that you can do as far as almost like a Wizarding Sim game right very very impressive stuff live Service holiday events could be really dope it really could be like the whole school changes it would be fun like I don't know man people are real skittish about live service and I'm like bro you can really do some good things with it you really really could a five spot from a Man Captain Steve have you seen a game called under a rock by Nordic trolls I'm liking the looks of that procedural world with crafting and cool features I've not seen that Captain Steve that reminds me of Nightingale I think Nightingale is going to be some kind I I do I think I have a hunch I have a hunch at Nightingale is going to be like a sleeper hit because the potential is insane with the with the with the building and the Sim aspects and the worlds that are essentially like randomly created through the card system that they have like I don't know man there's a lot there right there is a lot there I think Nightingale could be a sleeper there's something about that game that makes me think it could be a lot bigger and and more long-standing than people think and the game you're describing kind of sounds like that but no I've not seen anything about under a rock if you guys are just tuning in we are checking out uh I can't show it to you on Ticky talk that's a reason to come watch on uh on YouTube we're checking out the Brand's new 4k cinematic trailer for Hogwarts Legacy but we've also been debating a bunch of different things about it Captain Steve says I want Nightingale that does look like uber cool under a rock is like that but has cell shaded look well now you have my attention cell shaded on unreal five um I love self-shaded oh my gosh hang on a second let's go here um under a rock two weeks ago blackwoods is showing it off yeah it kind of makes me think of it's what I would love to see it's like sea of Thieves in fortnite had a baby a little bit with its aesthetic style I've consistently wanted to see sea of Thieves do a third person update I don't understand why you can't like like I can't see your character in that you know what I'm saying I want to see my character I want to see all my pirate Garb that I got you know what I mean I don't get that here is a quick trailer for under a rock we made for math Chief's indie game Expo join us in Discord for more that was tweeted December the 8th thank you barrier anybody in the Discord that wants to take a look good Roundup on how it looks I uh I apparently have a gift for the such and such and such and such games had a baby what did I say in the one game it looks like what did I say it looks like Elden ring in this game had a baby and taught it how to and the devil taught it how to fight what was that line it was so good I didn't even remember saying it only thing that can tank returnal is if it has the E the unreal four stutter Shader compilation on PC that'd be catastrophic wait is on is I didn't realize is returnal in the Unreal Engine I didn't realize that it looks pretty cool Co-op up to 10 players Captain Steve did they have an estimated date on that game they have an estimated date on under a rock or is it just like early early stages right now I'll be honest with you I don't like games like that being on my radar this early what's your wand on Pottermore I don't remember what my wand was but I was Slytherin with a swan Patronus very disappointed with the swan Patronus but Slytherin uh was was a satisfying uh sorting for me I thought that was exciting um let's put some more gameplay up for you guys one small Southern you're getting smacked by the enemies no estimated release coming to PC PS5 and Xbox series X okay okay okay even Captain Steve doesn't like typing the Xbox series ass even he knows I'm kidding I'm I'm kidding but really but really I'm not oh do you think the day before will be good if you follow me on YouTube reforge gaming you're watching me here on the Ticky talk reforge TV if you follow me on YouTube at reforge gaming I have an upload I have two uploads about that I think the day before is a fake game I don't think it's real uh an S Squad stream go reviews I have an upload that I'll be sending you to you guys in just a teeny bit here about that about that situation yes and then we'll go to members and then our second stream of the day is going to be about forespoken pretty much returnal features dlss FSR Ultra wide support Ray Trace shadows and Reflections Dolby Atmos dual sense support I don't I think it'll be fine not excited for Hogwarts yet says Captain Steve uh I feel like it will be linear and too story driven to really cast your own legacy may as well watch a movie I I don't agree with that I don't agree with that I think you can have especially with 35 hours for the story and then another 35 hours for completionist like 70 hours for completionist run I feel like there'll be vast differences between the experiences that people have now yes I do I understand where you're coming from right if games have a beginning middle and an end and we're basically you and I are all experiencing the same story beats are you really crafting your own legacy but I think with the ability to Create and Craft your own room of requirement have all those animals and and almost have like a Wizarding Sim game experience I'm not I don't think so if you've watched the latest gameplay reveals with the room of requirement all that customization I'm not worried about that you know I I also think you have to be careful with the game rooted in Harry Potter lore in the Harry Potter Universe if you don't have a really really good story if it's more of a generic story and you craft your own I worry that people would be like you know the story's weak it's kind of like you're darned if you do you're darned if you don't if you focus too much on the story well then we all have a very similar story experience like anybody who plays God of War Ragnarok is going to experience the same story beats well that's okay because it's an amazing story right I feel like a Harry Potter game kind of needs that as well I don't know I I I'm in the middle like I hear I hear where you're coming from and can see why that could be a problem but I also see a ridiculous amount of effort put into customization and content depth and variety as well as like you gotta have compelling characters and narrative elements for a world like this to matter right I I have a video hitting the Diablo um our Diablo channel the reforged dungeon I have a video hitting sometime probably today about whether or not you should skip the story and I even in a game like that we're all going to experience the same cinematics and story but that's kind of important for establishing the world and making it kind of matter why was Co-op taken out of the game that was one of the reasons I won the game when that when did they ever say there was going to be Co-op I don't remember them ever saying that do you have any I did you find an article or something that says they took it out that means they could add it later right that means they could add it later they could they could certainly bring that in in another time Hogwarts outsell Starfield um yeah yeah Hogwarts is gonna massively outsell Starfield Garfield has 25 million people that don't even have to buy it because they can play it on Game Pass starfield's only on one platform Hogwarts Legacy will absolutely Crush star field in commercial sales Hogwarts Legacy is going to be on this gen gonna be on Old gen and it's going to be on the Nintendo switch right uh name and email oh shh I can't remember hang on I can't I I can't do it right now uh I'll have to do it later creature I'll do it later no wait I have it in my no wait hang on I have it in my I forwarded it to myself hang on um YouTube schedule I forward it to myself uh right here um no that's not it shoot I can't remember what the name of the email was I forwarded it to myself [Music] um I I swear I did yep here we go uh [Music] all right I gotcha [Music] trying to verify oh okay there we go sorry my producer needed something real quick I don't like the break uh from attention to show and have dead air we are two hours into the show guys thank you for a massive turnout today on both platforms uh We've hit we could hit 600 likes easy on YouTube we we're nearing 15 000 likes over here on the Ticky talk better be worth the five-year wait uh when does it come out uh February the 10th for PS5 Xbox series X and S and PC and then it comes out two months later in April for old gen and then it comes out in June for the Nintendo switch so it has a very weird staggered release date which I actually find concerning as excited as I am for the Hogwarts Legacy release date I find that to be concerning right it uh you know it may they could be staggering the release because it's going to run really really poorly on the old gen consoles which could very much be cyberpunk situation are they trying to hide this massive Chasm between right they're trying to hide that are they trying to be like yeah old gen's gonna run like dog water you know what are your thoughts about on the switch I personally have not played any Nintendo switch Cloud games it'll likely be a cloud game right whoa Brody dropping what was that was that a beaver that was a beaver in sunglasses thank you Brody that's so kind listen you guys over here on the Ticky talk can help us hit our goal hit that star button you get a little joystick badge and emojis that you can use and uh it supports me streaming over here thank you so much for doing that we hit Our member goal on on on YouTube we don't remember goal we passed it we're at 28 over 25 if that hits 50 I have to I have to give five members again I already did that once we already have a coffee order reforge roast we have a light roast a dark roast and a holiday blend that's another great way to support us you're a coffee drinker check ours out if you've never tried coffee with balance acidity you need to try reforge roast it's ours by the way that's not a sponsor like that's a property of reforged gaming that's ours my wife and kiddos bag it up and ship it to you my son you guys have got to put some orders in for our coffee my son on his own was like he he did a little project he's like I want to make a bunch of things for the coffee people that order and he got like he cut a bunch of pieces of paper he put a bunch of stickers on them and then he drew arms and legs for the stickers it's some of the most creative stuff I've ever seen him do he said I got a popcorn man eating himself and I was like I'm sorry what did you say and he had a popcorn guy that he drew arms and and legs and he had him holding a bag of popcorn I'm like that is absolutely hilarious that's that's that's that could be a threadless t-shirt for crying out loud like brilliant little guy that's the kind of stuff you'll get with your coffee orders from my little man and my daughter they they they they they fill those bags with uh with drawings and stuff so thank you so much to everybody who's been supporting the coffee Andrew manager was seven months and it's a VIP membership welcome back whoop whoop another month great show Lono in the coffee I love the drawing I got oh awesome thank you uh I was due for some drop by says Brody I know a game I'm excited about is about to release and go uh to info and go to infoman oh thank you Brody I appreciate that very very much Witcher 3 didn't run well at all and switched for me I wouldn't have high hopes for Hogwarts Legacy running well on the Nintendo switch I'm not trying to be a hater I just wouldn't have high hopes for running all that well it's a pretty big game right big open world expansive game like I it's a lot going on there a lot going on by the way I can't post like links over here on on the Ticky talk you guys can go to reforge roast.com if you're interested in the coffee or you can use the link below on YouTube or the link in chat reforge roast.com all the flavor profiles are there if you're interested to see what we got going on you can save a little money by doing the combos Creatures got that set up you can do Best of Both Worlds get the light in the dark or you can do the triple threat you can get the light dark and the holiday coffee interesting my girlfriend loves coffee definitely gonna be looking into this yeah if you love if you if you know lovers of coffee my wife's a pretty big coffee connoisseur and she loves our coffee because of the balanced acidity the balance acidity just keeps it so smooth you can drink it black you could do cold brew you can put a little bit of creamer right I I use a little bit of Italian sweet cream my wife drinks it black sometimes she puts some froth milk in it like it's great people in chat can tell you how good it is I'm not just trying to Puff it up it's actually very good I have some in here right now and I might I would love to get partnered with Yeti because I'm always using their Yeti I'm a slow I drink my coffee throughout the morning so I love having that hey there it is somebody ordered some Hufflepuff squids gonna try out a bag of the dark roast thank you so much Hufflepuff squid I love that name Nintendo's got to make a new console soon well apparently according to rumors uh The Legend of Zelda breath of the wild 2 Tears of the Sun or whatever it's called tears of the what's it called it's tears of the mountain isn't it I always get the name wrong Tears of the Sun that's the Bruce Willis movies and I did it again apparently the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild 2 is going to be the last big first party title before they start doing uh tears of the Kingdom thank you my gosh I'm bad at this I swear I'm a professional streamer um apparently it's gonna be the last first party big Nintendo title uh before they start working on the next iteration it's it's really really hard because the Nintendo switch has such amazing Market saturation it's got to be hard to walk away from it cost of production is low they make profit per unit which is unheard of a lot of the times in hardware sales and so yeah I think I think tiers of the Kingdom will be the last big main line and Wheezy is saying we'll get an announcement this year and they're going to release it next year for a new Switch I really hope that's true that would be awesome what would be really awesome is if the new Switch can run games like tears of the Kingdom at higher Fidelity I can't stand 30 frames per second as much as I love breath of the wild I it drives me crazy it's just unfortunate because it's such a great game out of love to have done you know a handful of a handful of runs um you know a handful of additional additional runs uh in it but it's just one of those things where I just it it kind of it kind of hurts my head you know it kind of hurts my head um let me do something very very uh quickly here uh um let's do this uh today 1 30 from the air schedule okay close Hogwarts is I got house Ravenclaw one of Holly and a Patronus of the white stallion I would love to have a better Patronus than the one that I got I gotta tell you I'm probably not gonna not gonna allow it to pick my Patronus for me I'm not gonna let it pick it for me right I'll uh I'll uh I'll I'll I'll pick my own I'll pick my own I like that I got Slytherin but I do not like the Patronus that I got I don't I uh I do not like that um so I'm I'll probably pick my own I love the mobility of the switch especially with kids yeah I love the mobility I I love the games I love the first party titles but yeah I I can't do the uh I can't do the the freaking the the performance just drives me dad gum crazy it drives me dag I'm crazy like that that low that low performance like Hogwarts Legacy I think Hogwarts Legacy gameplay will likely be fine everywhere that you play it but I also think it's it it's gonna struggle on on some of the platforms right what was that website what's the webster website guys it was Pottermore and then it went through is it was it Wizarding World now or something what's the official.com if you want to get sorted and then you can link it with your WB account so that when you boot up the game you know what I'm saying you automatically get sort of yo dusk dusk is gonna gift a membership and push us to 20 oops 29 a little bit closer to the next big milestone Ryan Butler got that one thank you so much for guesting it it's just Wizarding World okay it's Wizarding World um well I guarantee you this is not it's always not oh it is this time okay uh the Lono too long didn't read a lot of crap has led to it being very likely that the next switch will both utilize a mobile ampere chip which would be an insane leap as well as potentially dlss whoa oh I'm here for that I'm here for that bro hey another order of coffee my man Cisco does a triple threat a bag of the dark roast a bag of the light roast and a bag of the frickmas we say merry frickman's here because I say Frick people give me grief about it but it keeps things safe for work right I'm not dropping f-bombs every other word so the frickness blend is right here these are the new bags we'll have the light in the dark roast in the new bag soon as well so very very uh excited about that it was confirmed that your Patronus will not transfer to the game oh good I don't have to worry about my Patronus uh I don't have to worry about my Patronus coming over to the game that's excellent that's excellent so yo 23 months from Matt Ben so close to two years almost two years from a man Matt guys we are getting ready to shift gears I have a video that I want to show you about the S Squad kills

FYI if you didn't know patronuses don't matter in the game or at least they don't get pulled over oh okay so we don't know if there's any Patronus presence in the game or not right yeah we don't know okay okay liked it brother thank you go reviews I appreciate you hanging out I wonder why WB didn't force microtransactions into Hogwarts but originally did for Gotham Knights it's hard to know it's hard to know um it really is hard to know right how much uh how much they decided to maybe maybe they did maybe they had micros and they decided to cut them out because of the reception of them recently I think a lot of people worried about microtransactions might start to see their their you know they're they're going to show up in in very infrequent or or different ways because people you know people don't like them okay I gave you guys enough time we're not gonna go crazy with gifteds we already did so that's totally fine we already went nuts that's an amazing number so I'm gonna put
