  1. Played for 4 hours straight. Midnight 0:00 to 4:00 AM, non-stop! What a game! Starts with a bang and introduces the overarching main story right away. The combat is quite good so far. Obviously, I'm yet to unlock more spells so will have more opinions later on. The graphics and performance are so, so good. *chef's kiss* The overall visual fidelity and level of detail is mind-blowing. There are 5 graphics options on the PS5. I'm playing on Balanced with an uncapped frame rate. Buttery smooth with a good LOD. Note: the screenshot below only shows 4 options during the initial set-up. But from the in-game pause menu, you can access the fifth option which is 'Fidelity with Ray Tracing.' Yet to try it though. Didn't try it yet because it says it needs to reboot the game for the change to take effect. Some more spoiler-free screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/v6CWQ6T Overall observations: Things I love: - Graphics, details, and overall visual fidelity. Stellar work by Avalanche. They are fans of the lore and it's evident. They have taken the effort, succeeded, and then some! - Tight combat, so far. - Literally no bugs so far. Not even the general open-world bugs. The polish is R* and ND-level. - Voice acting, of all characters. - Generally, good Dualsense implementation (more below). - The village of Hogsmeade is so well made. Almost all houses/shops/buildings can be entered from what I saw. Things I didn't like (minor gripes so far): - Loading times are hilariously more than the current standard. Get ready to notice a split-second black screen even while petting cats. Sometimes, even while going through doors within the castle, the main character just stands and faces the door as there is a tiny loading icon on the door handle for literally a second, and then the character opens the door. It doesn't detract from the experience much, but it could've been better. - Haptics could've been implemented during some cut-scenes too, for added immersion. Missed opportunity, IMO! - The isometric view of the map is a poor design choice. Minor thing, which could've been avoided by having a simple traditional map. - The game to play with Accio to drag the balls to a specific score, is simply bad. I skipped the instructions by mistake and lost all matches and I literally don't know how to control the level of Accio to use and I can't find the instructions again anywhere. Not cool (help, pl0x). - This one is more of a personal thing, but Horizon: Forbidden West has really spoiled me with the facial expression animations of characters during conversations. This feels like a generation behind. But only compared to H: FW. Otherwise, it's pretty standard. ----- I am yet to get a mount and truly step out of the castle. Only gone to Hogmeads on foot. Also, will share more observations about quests once I play some more and get to the core gameplay loop. Until now, the game is still introducing things. Overall, for a person who loves the Harry Potter lore, this game is a dream come true. And yeah, it's wife-approved, too!

  3. You mean SX? Depends on whether you want to play in RT mode or not.

  4. Went up from last episode, shows you people don't give a sh*t about "agenda" as long as it is well made. Next episode is on Friday though, so it may not maintain that streak.

  5. Done Sensei, the Sekiro hangover was tough to let go The Skills achievement was really really grinding.. did you guys go to NG+++ to make it easier ? Like the last skill tree requires 6,9 skill points for some and you are a level where you need 45K-50K XP per skill point.. I figured out a farming point where I was getting 17K XP in one run in NG+ so I just did that but it was too grind..

  10. If you are going to talk about Save Transfers - why even bother buying the game now? Buy 6 years down the line - in next gen, when game will cost 500 Rs. People asking now are wanting to play the game now. Not waiting to buy now and play 6 years down the line in a next gen which no one even knows about. Also, don't use RT unless you're on PC. What beautiful logic is this Tons of people are loving playing this game with RT Mode, especially at Unlocked 60 FPS (40-60 Range) instead of playing at sub 30 FPS on Xbox.

  12. he’s not worried about 2 gens later. He’s asking about now and Xbox’s performance on the game is inferior. PS also has dualsense and additional quests so it’s an obvious choice. Not sure what strategy Xbox has but that’s a versus conversation

  13. Mad respect for managing a full time job, Twitter dumpster-diving and IVG shitposting while also still having maybe some time left to play on your PS5/PC. Elon has nothing over you!

  15. Stores another copy of current OS. So when you update, partition B is updated while your phone is running like normal from partition A. During the next update, A gets updated while phone is running on B. Essentially you never have to shut down the phone while updating, plus there's a backup in case the OS gets corrupted.

  16. If you have VRR TV then balanced mode, if you have PS5 and VRR TV then RT mode. For rest, framerate mode at 60fps or fidelity mode at 30fps.

  19. PS5 and Xbox X Series have 5 display modes. The quality snot displays settings similar to High/Ultra on PC with an average resolution of 1800p at 30fps without ray-tracing. - Ray-tracing mode is applied on shadows and reflections (except water), shadows and ambient occlusion in a hybrid way with conventional lighting.. However, RT by generates too much noise on some surfaces on consoles and PC. - Ray-Tracing mode decreases drawing distance and texture quality on PS5 and Xbox Series X. - Xbox Series S does not have Ray-Tracing. In this version we can choose between 3 display modes that prioritize graphic quality, framerate or balanced (the latter only with 120Hz screens). - Shorter loading times on PS5. - Shadows in Quality (Fidelity) mode have a higher resolution on PS5 compared to Xbox Series X. - We can unlock the framerate on consoles (except Xbox Series S). - PS5 shows better performance in Ray-Tracing mode, but Xbox Series X framerate is higher in all other modes. - Quality mode increases texture quality, draw distance, shadows, vegetation and lighting on consoles. - All versions have stuttering problems inside the castle while advancing through the rooms. There will even be times when we get stuck in a doorway until the other room has finished loading. - Xbox Series S has a lower NPC density. - Balanced and Performance HFR modes can only be enabled on 120Hz compatible displays. - On PC, Ray-Tracing is too demanding for what it delivers. This is another case of a game whose traditional lighting system is the clear basis of development and Ray-Tracing is a superfluous improvement. - In the absence of some patches to correct the annoying stuttering, Hogwarts Legacy does a good job on all platforms and any version is enjoyable. Summary of the analysis.. People Might want to watch the complete video before commenting ?

  26. Button mashing combos. Edit: Most bosses are easy as long as you get the pattern, dodge and attack to the beat. Fun is in the process.
