Here's Everything GREAT about Hogwarts Legacy! I hope you enjoy the video!
I understand that some of you will be upset that I decided to cover this game. I do not agree with or live by any of the beliefs that JK Rowling spews out. They're all hateful and trying to walk back all the progress we've made toward a more inclusive equal future. I don't believe however that an entire game studio should be generalized as bigots or transphobic because of their involvement with the game and by extension, all those who bought, played and shared their experience with others as well. I do not feel qualified nor my place to share my stance on the subject because I am neither Jewish nor transgender. With also the fact that yes, I am making money from this video, anything I would say about it would be hollow. So that’s why I completely just focused on the game itself, the systems, and the story. I hope you all stick around for the video and for the ones to come because I love talking about video games and want to continue to share that passion with you. I appreciate every one of you and hope you have a great day!

nice video as usual. but still f this game and f jk umbridge
Slithering best house and need bully gaming wins please love that game
@@darknessflame797 i don’t bully him on the contrary I said that his video is excellent. And it’s Slytherin.
@@starwarsprequelsandsequels7582 What not bullying him I’m talking about the video game bully
@@darknessflame797 oh ok sorry
Can you guys imagine how inconvenient fast traveling was before the invention of Floo Powder?
sorry, no time, i'm off on another adventure
thank good they finally made it that line wont be said evry time u fast travel
Oh my god shit up LADY!!!!
Mysterious and a bit unnerving. What to do?
Die an in ally as Harry would sah
Ravenclaws are just Slytherins that are smart enough to cover their tracks, and hide their war crimes
As a ravenclaw with many slytherin friends I can confirm.
😂😂😂😂😂
That’s adorable. Go read a book or some shit
As a ravenclaw, not all ravenclaws are like that, but I do say many are exactly as you described.
As a Ravenclaw, I consider this true
36:24 This. This scene chills me to the core. Why? Because every other time we see the killing curse used in this universe, death is instant for the victim. The only occasional after effects being a sigh of escaping breath, or a muscle twitch. Isidora had grown so powerful that she was able to resist the KILLING CURSE for a few seconds, remaining standing and even CRACKING A GRIN before finally keeling over.
23:00 -ish
This is why I feel Sebastian's side quest should've been the main story
The ranrok storyline is tropey as all hell, and allowing the Sebastian storyline to breathe, to allow us to pick sides and have an ultimate morality system would've been so cool.
Also Niamh is pronounced like "Neeve" (it's Irish)
I liked Sebastians story, but I found it incredibly predictable.. Would have been nice if there was a way to change the outcome through our interactions, but oh well.
Niamh is actually my middle name! But yeah, I do agree with sabastians quest line should be the main quest, if they’re did it could probably be a bit longer too.
@@moonkit9058 cool 😎😎😎
Gaming wins being Slytherin and not Hufflepuff is the biggest plot twist yet.
Filch: STUDENTS OUT OF BED!!! HANG THEM BY THEIR THUMBS
Moon: Let me teach you alohamora so you can sneak around the castle.
Ok but your cat thinking nothing of you laying in weird positions but still wishing to cuddle with you was downright adorable.
Am I the only one who loved how when you learn wingardium leviosa the motion you need to do is a “SWISH and FLICK”?
How about the fact Avada Kedavra's motion was eerily similar to a certain scar?
@@Cloudson97 that too, really took care with the little things
I love out the shallow upward flick of your wand for "accio" is basically a "come here" motion but with a wand instead of a hand.
I’m proud to be a Hufflepuff. They don’t get enough attention and everyone thinks that we’re pushovers. Cedric Diggory was the ideal Hufflepuff and I try to be the student he was.
They're just jealous that we're walking distance from the kitchens
@@zyloscarborough9167 tbf id be happy far away from kittens dogs are better
just joking, cedric's awesome...even though he couldn't beat Harry legit in quidditch
Thank you! I definitely didn't go entirely against my house's kind nature and go around uses the unforgivable curses and be an evil Hufflepuff.. ha.. haha.. ha..... Anyway go Hufflepuff!
Same here, fellow Hufflepuff! Couldn't have said it better!
Just a fun fact, if you link your Pottermore account with the game at the beginning, not only do you get some cool stuff, the game can see what house you're in and what your wand is. I'm registered as a Gryffindor and when I got to the Sorting Ceremony, the Hat knew I was and sorted me in it. It was fun to see and brought me so much joy😁😁
8:30 Simon Pegg’s performance in this game was brilliant. He’s a beloved actor in almost everything he does, but he really made us dislike the Headmaster.
It was the most disliked headmaster ever. Even when Harry is there.
@@Some_Guy6well, there is one I can name who was worse.
I DIDN'T notice the thestrals just appear after the guy died in the carriage. I thought he might of aperated away. This is why I love this channel, it shows so much stuff that I missed on my playthrough
I was laughing during the polyjuice potion portion because with thinking how he acts and making him look completely like blubbering idiot felt like sweet justice.
The main game puzzles are pretty neat and easy but after you finish the "depulso" room for one of the side missions, the other depulso rooms that become available after that quest can be quite challenging. Either that or I'm just dumb lol coz I was stuck in one for almost an hour
Oh also don't forget the PS exclusive "Minding your own business" side mission which was pretty scary and insane!!
How do you actually unlock that I haven’t been able to find it
@@charliejenkins3211 It's sometime during Winter version
@@TBWL195 I need to go to hogsmeade again
You aren't alone. The depulso puzzles were by far the toughest for me. I spent almost 2 hours in one of them, but felt really good to figure it out in the end.
They are opened by a side quest given in the lounge room just up the stairs from the charms classroom.
@@Tallenn fr one of the hardest puzzles
Playing this game, it revived the love I had for this franchise when I was a kid. You're literally reliving those childhood memories throughout the whole game.
For me it dealt completely lacking of the actual franchise
This game brought back memories of me and my dad watching the Harry Potter movies, it was our thing that we shared and this brought me so much joy and yearning that my dad could still be here today to watch this game and share this experience with him... the times I cried playing this game for both joy and grief go hand in hand, really wish I could thank the creators for this amazing game!
if you haven't heard or read ''the cursed child'' , i Highly recommend it !!
just do a search on youtube for Harry Potter Audiobook English , it's the first yellow thumbnail ...
it's the best story of them all because it takes you back to the other movies while you're listening , it refers to certain parts too ...
good for a quiet evening or at work

I seem to be the only one who loved ranrok a lot as a villian. He was badass too. He becomes especially more interesting if you know his backstory which can be Missed but if you do owland or whoever that is and rescue him in his quest. Then you can ask him an optional dialogue about what he heard and he explains ranrok's lore as why he is evil that when he was young he went to a wizard and respected him. When the wizard's wand fell to the ground he tried to pick it up for him but he was frustrated and beat ranrok nearly to death. You can feel bad for him after that. As they say every villian has a tragic backstory
I can honestly say that i wish that the PC's friends enter the final battle at least once, like having Sebastian and Natty help contain the ancient magic with Fig or something like that.
The ending is actually different based on a choice at the end of the game. I think the only difference is that fig is given more respect
Yeah, his death for me was... incredibly abrupt and disrespectful. About the only change for choosing a darker option.
@@ananaithnid7495 think it implies that after learning that the MC would use the power of the Repository for personal gain, Fig lost the will to live.
im so glad you keep drawing parallels between the goblins and the lotr dwarves since i always saw them as fundamentally similar both (diegetically) in culture and in placement in the world
"Would you prefer a Gryffindoor who'd take a bullet for you, or a Sytherin who'd shoot first?"
_I'd prefer a Hufflepuff who wouldn't get their ass in that situation in the first place, ngl._
“If animals could speak humanity would weep” while I have not heard this quote before it is so profound and works well in the wizarding world! Thanks for the amazing videos, you have a way with words to summarize and analyze video games! ❤❤
Fig didn't even die from the rock. He helps out afterwards to hold things off as you recontain the magic and then he just dies randomly for no reason like Rey in Rise of Skywalker.
This game really needs a new game plus mode that allows you to select a different house so you can experience what those houses have to offer while also having all the spells you got on the first time through
I installed a mod that unlocks max alohomora and all spells from the beginning after beating the game once on normal, and it was the new game plus idea that I used to justify it to myself. I also have done all of my other playthroughs on hard to compensate.
It was legitimately the first game I ever completed to 100% I loved the world that much. It really felt like I was being transported into hogwarts and getting to live the Wizarding life I wanted to for so many years
@GamingWins One of my favorite aspects about the Gear is that you can equip whatever gear you want to boost your level but keep the appearance of your favorite Gear designs. More games need to have that feature!
Amazing work! Love your channel!
Ron actually said it correct. It was Draco who said it wrong. So idk why Hermione was bothering Ron during the Wingardium Leviosa class.
Not sure what I love most, GamingWins' absolutely infectious humor and positivity or the fact he was sorted into Slytherin like me. All that aside I think we can all agree which house is objectively the best...it is Hufflepuff
30:00 what were they so close to with the line from Amit?
Also, when riding the Lord of the Shore before the 4th trial I couldn't help but love how the soundtrack went full How To Train Your Dragon.
Finally: Hey fellow Hufflepuffs!
Just got done with this game for the first time, I gotta say, it's one helluva ride.
I played a Slytherin based off me, name and all. I played him like the most hippee and druid-esque snake wizard possible. My constant outfit was Dragonhide herbologists gloves, beast rescuers robes, dark herbologists hat, bookish half trim glasses, woodland ensemble, no scarf.
I prioritized beast taming, herbology, and potions making, though admittedly, I hardly used them. Made fairly extensive use of combat plants because the cabbages are awesome when you some herbologists traits on multiple gear slots.
I think my favorite spell was diffindo the cutting one. I love the simplicity of the controls it feels like I'm playing a ps3 controls but in a good way. My favorite part of combat was when I used protego because the core upgrades for protego make you feel like a god,
In essence
It feels pretty wizard😎
Flying was a bit wonky at first, but after some adjustment, the flying is great. Especially on hippogriffs because that also feels wizard.
By the end of the game I was the 5th year gentlemen hedge mage of the woods or the later on in his adult as the English Oak Druid.
This makes me actually want to try to make a Harry Potter d&d game.
First thing to do. Fuck spell slots, you only need a wand, go wild.
Loved this game man it felt awesome, the early game was a bit of a drag until it gained gas and just got better and better as it went. Definitely do all the available side quests first.
I wanna do a dickhead Gryffindor run next specializing in curses.
I found your channel two weeks ago and have watched almost every video you have. It's one of the best channels on CZcams and it's full with wonderful content. I wish you a lot of success and keep up the good work. I'll most definitely be waiting for the next video.
Welcome to the fam!
I`m not a HP fan, but this game was so much fun :D And my friends that ARE huge HP fans just lost themselves in this game, it was that great for them.
PS. Thanks for having a channel that is actually positive and highlights the positives of games, it``s a breath of fresh air nowadays :)
22:49 love the Skyrim reference, hope Skyrim comes soon
I’m gonna have to get this game I loved the movies and the books (both are amazing but books are better in my opinion for how many details they can have) definitely can’t wait to be sorted
I think the complete shock of Fig's death actually works. Death usually isn't some big ceremonious thing, it hits when you least expect it. And at least we did get an opportunity to give him a proper send-off, even though I feel like he shouldn't have even been able to stand let alone cast a spell.
Took me a while to finish the story as I didn’t have much free time, but seeing as I finished it last night, I thought I’d fulfill a month old promise of finally watching this gamingwins video! 😅
16:51 90% of the art on R34 is about Prof. Garlick if you search for Hogwarts Legacy
Is the remaining 10% about Fig?
To your co-op game comment: apparently, someone is already working on a mod for the pc version to add co-op into the game. While I've never played this, I gotta admit, it does look like it'd lend itself to it.
Canonically, I think the character is Ravenclaw. Due to the 3 relationship quest lines being based around a Gryffindor(Natsai), a Slytherin (Sebastian), and a Hufflepuff (Poppy).
There's also Amit, he's from ravenclaw so it doesn't really matter. Interesting theory tho
@calli cma yes but he didn't have the relationship missions, that could easily be explained as him helping a housemate rather than a friend
@@bradleywhitlock5842he had quests but was cut do to time
I have never seen your content before and I have not finished your video yet, but I just got past your ad and have just become a subscriber. Great job!
2:38 awww kitten message… till kittens mood changes.
i think my personal favorite bit of music was the solemn choir that plays at night. every time i heard it, i stopped to take it in with the ambiance of the dark, abandoned hallways. my favorite bit of diegetic music was the absolute rager thrown by the hallways of musician portraits in the faculty wing
Havent had much to do with HP franchise since i finished watching the movies a while ago but seeing gameplay of this game.....this looks really fun and i might just get it when i can get the money for it.
@@tameston5467 What are you doing?
@@tameston5467 lol 💀
@@tameston5467what are you excited for?
*watching video*
*chuckle here, chuckle there*
- Kamahameha joke plays
*Almost drowns laptop in bathtub from laughing so hard*.......
*Continues watching, with caution*
38:00 I disagree here. I don't think Weasley was being too stubborn to give Black some credit. Black sounded like he was trying to remember to his lines from a script, which would have more than likely been written by Weasley. So no, I don't think Weasley was necessarily being too stubborn to give Black some credit as there was no credit to give. He pretty much had to follow a script to protect his "good image".
nice little shoutout to Civ 5 in the ad lol. Excited for this!
ALSO FUCK YEAH SLYTHERIN IS THE BEST HOUSE LETS GOOOOOOO
I've been watching your waking dead ones and was wondering the batman tlc game is one of my favourites. Do u think you'll ever do them one day? LOVE THE WORK❤
37:20 I picked the “good” ending and thought Fig’s death was great and emotional
anyone else notice that the voice order audio constantly seems to have like a high pass filter that keeps moving in and out? Sometimes when he talks he sounds like he's "right up on the mic" and then he just starts to move further away and then back up?
i was so entirely focused on the chaos during that dragon attack cutscene at the beginning that i never noticed he didnt use a wand to cast
I think it's telling that a channel exclusively focused on the positive has little positive to say about the core gameplay and game design.
It's a great Harry Potter experience, but a fairly mediocre video game.
Most of the praise this game is getting is either Harry Potter fans fairly enjoying it as a just a way to BE in the Harry Potter world, no judgement, I've put hundreds of hours into Star Wars the Old Republic, also a mediocre game on the face of it, for what it provides in that regard. and it does truly excel in that regard.
a few years ago, I would have done the same here, but my love for the Harry Potter franchise faded fast subsequent to my fading positive feeling for its author, I've made the choice not to purchase Harry Potter products for that reason, because JK Rowling may be rich regardless, but I won't contribute to it. before I get a bunch of pissy replies, I also wouldn't judge anyone who does buy it,
ethical consumption needs to be an individual choice, there are things that I consume sans ethics, and maybe that makes me a hypocrite, but I personally believe people can only fight so many battles and the choices of which ones to fight come down to the individual, subsequently, with some extreme exceptions I think it's wrong to hold other people to ethical consumption standards they're likely abstaining from unethical things that I consume in battles that they deem important and I deem less so.
the other side of the praise for the game (the less prevalent side) is more insidious, this partisan "stan" culture where if the people you dislike, dislike something, you suddenly start praising it, and vice versa,. the discussion around Hogwarts Legacy often shifts so quickly away from the game itself that it's astonishing, 90% of the conversations concerning the game.concern ethical consumption, the harassment of streamers, the harrassment of the trans community, etc.
it's genuinely remarkable how little I've actually seen the gameplay or design philosophy being spoken about because that split has come to dominate the game's footprint.
I don't really think this game will be widely, fondly remembered as a game in a few years time, but it will definitely have its hardcore Potter fans for a lot, lot longer than that.
Based
I completely agree with your points on this being a mediocre game. In fact, I'd go one further and say the game is actively bad.
My main thing going into the game was 'If this wasn't a HP game would I still be playing it' and after about 10hrs of gameplay the answer was a hard no
@@thomasbarlow5246 You know, your rationale is actually fair. I probably wouldn’t play this game if it weren’t HP. Thanks for the perspective!
You put my thoughts into words better than I could. I would describe this game the same way I describe basically anything harry potter. It's a very mediocre and often bad story, normally not told very well. But it's in an incredibly fun world to think about and explore. The saving grace of this game is that the world feels interesting to explore. If it didn't have that people would have given up so fast
Logical flawless logical
Did you find the shop in Hogsmead with three doors, which is different on the inside depending on which door you enter?
Depending on how things go, Fig lives just a bit longer and we can hand him wife’s wand before he passes.
At some point you mentioned Bully and I think it’d be great if you did a “Everything GREAT about Bully”
in the beginning, the carriage that is used to bring you to hogwarts isn’t just a magical flying carriage, it’s being pulled by Thestrials, but since you don’t witness death until the dragon kills the other professor in the cart with you and fig, your character then sees the thestrials pulling the carriage. lol it’s a clever point i don’t think alotta people caught.
I beat Hogwarts Legacy recently 35 hours on my ps5 I loved the story, writing, gameplay, music, spells, Open world, puzzles, emotional moments, and the ending I liked the classes as well and the talent points. I give Hogwarts Legacy a 10/10 I want a sequel on current gen consoles only and I love the main Harry Potter movies and books.
I think alot of the complaints will be ironed out for the sequel, since its likely to be a next gen only thing. But for a first attempt i loved this game and it was insanely solid
"would you rather have a griffindor that would've taken a bullet for you or b the Slytherin that shot first?"
Bro I wanna b the Ravenclaw that rigged the gun to explode in my enemy's hand
Gryffindor! Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to see the gryffindor common room
The one common room they show in six movies?
@@awesomness36 i think they meant in its entirety
I was doing so much side questing, I was level 19 when I finally got to the skill points
Ominis Gaunt, Professor Weasley, and Professor Black being ancestors of well known characters (Not to mention Black being the only canon [mentioned in the books and/or movies] character) which means they didn't completely separate it from Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter; but yeah I can't wait until I can finally play on Ps4 since it comes out April 4th for me
Granted when Bakar used the killing curse it was probably not unforgivable if it was I'd imagine they would all be like wtf
1:30 the reason the carriage didn't show the Thestrals is because they are only visible to those who have seen death and understood it, which is why they become visible after that dude was killed in the dragon attack
nvm lol
What’s the music at the end? It’s so calming.
One AMAZING side quest for hufflpuffs is visiting Azkaban! It really shows how much that place is a hell for any prisoner
Seeing the 'Fulcrum' tattoo was an instant win in my book.
You should do the Battelfield series
pro tip: if you want to learn to avada kadavra complete sebastian sallows questline
7:40 But that’s just it if you have a wizarding world account it will literally ask you as you start up the main menu if you’d like to sign in so the quizzes that you took online to determine your wand and Hogwarts house will be valid.
I answered honestly so when my choices determined my position I agreed to have my first playthrough be as myself. I had originally intended to be a good guy Slytherin. But the test proved I was a Gryffindor, with an Elder Wood wand, 13 1/4 inches, with a phoenix feather core.
It makes sense that theres no students in the final scene as after all, it is a full fledge battle against an open rebellion lol
I'm from the mid-west and love winter. If im cold can just put some long clothes on or curl up under another blanket. Theres only so many layers you can take off in summer and still too hot but not a limit on adding layers.
You do remember, it was Tom Riddle that cursed the DODA position when he was denied the job.
How about a Ravenclaw that would have known to get around around the danger or how to expel it before the fighting even occurred. Who am I kidding I’d fight just to show off all the advanced spells I know
Now, if only we could get this only set in the Jedi Temple!! But in all seriousness I love this game is absolutely amazing and ridiculous in terms of detail in the world that was given. I have been a fan since the early 2000’s.
Something about Harry Potter being a little down to our level hidden in plain sight. It was almost tangible and seemed real for me, especially the movies. But of course I was just a kid at the time.
So to be in an age where video games fully render out the entire castle for us to explore and learn and move around through along with plenty of stuff outside on the grounds as well to see and investigate! Had this come out when we were kids. We all would have lost our minds.
Now to dip into a more sensitive issue. I do completely agree with the author. HOWEVER! I try to at least understand her reasoning and where she came from and what times were like, put myself in her shoes. So it’s something I can live with and still love her properties (not all of them, but still respect the work and effort put into them).
I will also admit, i identify as bi-gender. I don’t let one person’s opinion spoil the fun for me that they’re attached to. And I don’t let other person’s get me down for supporting someone who doesn’t agree with my lifestyle.
I’m hoping to meet in the middle. We don’t all have to agree on everything, but we sure as hell can try, sit down and talk like adults, not children name calling. But we share the facts and trade understanding. We don’t have to agree but if we can at least understand then we’ll be headed in a step in the right direction
Okay but I gotta ask HOW DID YOU GET THE COOL BROWN FUR JACKET I NEED TO KNOW
the potions professor looks like Matt Mercer
14:56 new spell the KAMEHAMEHA
Present professor Rackham sounds like Roku from Avatar The Last Airbender doesn't he
I finally got myself a Manta Sleep mask because of you! As a night shift worker, it helps me SO much!
Poppy and Pecker sounds like a shop in Hogsmeade. XD
You would not believe how inconvenient travel was before I invented floo powder
33:06-33:34 listeners list to this over again I need both side to listen 👂 to this
sirona really made me think of that bar woman from the shrek movies ngl
I'm a Ravenclaw.
Ominus sounds like Draco Malfoy. He said he's not afraid to exploit HIS FATHER'S connections to the school. His father will probably hear about this.
Lol.
Yes, Slytherin is best. After playing as a Slytherin and then starting a new game as a Hufflepuff, it feels like this game favours Slytherin over the other houses. Which I, of course, have no problem with. Or maybe I am just obsessed with Sebastian and Ominis.
Same. We got to let everyone know that Slytherins are not the bad guys! (Most of them, anyway)
imo, the Wizarding Universe is basically a sandbox because there is basically 1000 year history that is blank, anything could've happened, so many opportunities
I was going to watch it normally, BUT IT'S ON! I'LL DEFEND MY HUFFLEPUFF UNTIL DEATH!
I love this game. It has allowed me to (sort of) live all the moments I wanted to as a child when I watched the movies with my family. It has even motivated me to study harder!
3:57 my same reaction when throwing enemies against a rock or to a cliff and hearing them die instantly as they crash.
Wait that’s not when Fig died for me. He comes back right at the end of the fight before collapsing!
Hufflepuff.. because yummy food 🤤 I mean um.. you gonna finish those leftovers? 🤤
yeah I learned levioso and the depulso wombo combo from Fig works like a charm
At 36:08 did anyone else think the music sounded similar to how to train your dragon’s test flight
Fun fact Professor Hecat isn’t as old as she seems since she says that she attended school at the same time as Headmaster Black. It’s alluded to that she worked on experimental time based magic as an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries. Perhaps she worked on inventing or enhancing Time Turners.
Can we agree that people who get Ravenclaw on those house quizzes are the same people who get Cabin 6 for the Camp Half-Blood Cabin quizzes? (I say that as someone who did and, of all the Ravenclaws I know, all of them are also Cabin 6 (the Athena Cabin))
What's the outro song called?
I have found out quickly that killing poachers and other enemies in-between missions levels you up fast..I didn't even mean to. I just wanted to find extra gold
13:15 who are you referring to as the other person you might think that portrait could be? I am generally curious as I am well versed with Wendelin in part due to playing Hogwarts Mystery and having that class several times taught by Binns
People jokes it was JK Rowling
You jumped on this one faster than the Cinemawins guy has the second and third "Fantastic Beasts" movies. Well done, sir.
Please consider doing videos on the Silent Hill series.
To be fair, no one should have to highlight the positives of those movies as they are atrocious
i’d love a silent hill series :D its my all time favorite horror game franchise
