Game to Discuss?

Instead of discussing any specific game, let's discuss classic flashkino !oldstrags . The greats, the misses, the bizarre newgrounds pornography -- all of it. :40maltgenocide: Pour one out for the golden age of hobbyist game creation. Anything effortposty will get some MB (~200, but I'm not a paypig, so that's pretax) for their efforts, so discuss away.

Hogwarts Legacy: Was on sale. Totally what I expected, interactive Harry Potter movie with simple, not-too-challenging gameplay, fun to play through. I liked the combat more than I expected and the writing a little less than I expected.

  • I was amused how the loose magickal framework of Harry Potter could explain a lot of "gamey" stuff. In many games I've seen a glowing energy barrier block me from wandering too far, and it's an immersion breaker, here, clearly a wizard did it. Or many games give you a ridiculous inventory capacity, here some scenes actually show you disappearing items into your magical inventory.

  • Lesser-noted political correctness: You have a bag that functions as a Pokeball for magical creatures, but you never ever "capture" a creature, only "rescue." So many lines read like they did a find and replace on that. One creature is also a boss fight, you have to beat it into submission in order to "rescue" it.

  • Loot levels with you so you're constantly churning through gear. Half the gear looks ridiculous. You can make the gear appear as any piece you have but I got tired of that. So the end of many side quests was "Hello Questgiver, I went to the Dangerous Location and tracked down your Loved One, sorry, they are dead" but they deliver that dressed like this or worse.

  • The main friendly goblin looking like someone sat down to depict a friendly version of the Merchant.

  • It is supposed to be in like 1880 but they totally fail to sell it: the familiar 1990s wizards already dress funny and mostly avoid modern technology so you can't tell the difference that way, and the writing feels mostly present-day too. They also did the kind of diversity that's like, sure, I live in NYC, last time I was at a bar I was with a Korean, a Filipino, Indians, Latinx, Mayos (even some Bongs), etc., and we all had lot of globalized/westernized culture in common. That's normal in NYC 2024, but trying to drop it into rural Scotland 1880 has an odd effect.

Impressive. Normally people with such severe developmental disabilities struggle to write much more than a sentence or two. He really has exceded our expectations for the writing portion. Sadly the coherency of his writing, along with his abilities in the social skills and reading portions, are far behind his peers with similar disabilities.
