Hogwarts Legacy Proves Console Exclusive Quests Should Face the Reaper

Hogwarts Legacy's console-exclusive quest is being rectified soon, and such exclusivity is a trend that deserves to be put to rest.

Although I agree. It is pretty rare for it to happen. Wish it was never started though. Looking at you old cod and gta 4 dlc

anast500d ago

I'm good with console exclusive material. This is why I prefer one console over another.

Gamer75500d ago

Of course you are but only when it's on PS you mean

anast499d ago (Edited 499d ago )

Yes, I thought this was obvious. If or when MS makes better games, I will buy an Xbox.

Then you probably are a teen. Or an adult who forgot the old ways and bought into the companies 🙄 messaging.

You might want to rethink this comment. I would think a teen would produce this kind of writing because it is too emotive to be from someone that has matured in their thinking.

It doesn't prove it at all
That's an opinion, not something that can be proved
I wish people recently weren't too stupid to know what that word means
Kinda embarrassing for people who write things for a living

I don’t see the benefit of keeping in-game content exclusive for a timed period. People who played the game at launch are not likely to load it up again just to play what was held back.

An entire game being timed makes more sense because once it releases people who haven’t played it at all are more likely to pick it up. Like XBox players now playing Sifu or PlayStation players soon playing Hi-Fi Rush.

Exactly I'm not downloading Hogwarts Legacy again for a couple of quests lol even though I liked it a lot, it's nice to have if I ever replay it I guess.

shinoff2183500d ago (Edited 500d ago )

First time I can remember it was ms paying 50 million dollars for gta 4 dlc timed exclusive. It may have happened with cod on 360 first but I don't remember and cod was never a game I was interested in.

DMgHalt499d ago

I bought the game on PC, exactly what kind of console-exclusive DLC did I miss out on? And would it have been worth buying an entire console just to access?

I mean, did anyone think the Switch 2 would be comparable to current-gen? Yea, I’m pretty sure it’s going to give you PS4 quality looking/playing games and in a couple years we’ll be onto PS6 and most third-party games will either be downgraded to hell or just not be available on Switch 2 🤷‍♂️.

Profchaos15h ago

I was never under any illusion it would compare to series s imagine the battery life

ABizzel115h ago(Edited 15h ago)

It’s doing exactly what I expected and what it needed to do base Xbox One settings in most games upscaled to 2x the resolution with DLSS when docked, and running with better performance. What more can you ask for out of a 10w - ~57w~ platform

Current-gen AAA Games (SX/PS5): 540p @ 30-40fps most games upscaled to 1080p @ 30-40fps
Last-gen AAA Games (XBO/PS4): 720p @ 30-60fps most games upscaled to 1440p @ 30-60fps
PS360/Switch AAA Games: 1080p @ 30-60fps most games upscaled to 1440p-4K @ 30-60fps
Rare cases the PS360/Switch games at 1080p@120fps games like Metroid

And that’s perfectly fine, except docked mode on AAA games could become fairly blurry on large 4K displays.

Babadook713h ago

Sorry, I disagree with this sentiment. The Switch 2 is a current gen machine and well above the PS4 Pro. It goes toe to toe with the Series S due to great DLSS and a modern architecture in many games. This game (Hogwarts Legacy) has always been the poorest example of what the Switch 2 can do and appears to simply be a bad port. Cyberpunk 2077 is on the other hand a great port.

for a handheld it's quite nice, but don't go in expecting a serious console. Keep your PS5 and/or PC. You can tell a huge difference in those long distance shots w the foilage/grass. But again on an 8 inch screen, I bet it looks and plays decent enough.

Neonridr16h ago

the way I look at it, the PS4 Pro still had some gorgeous games. If I could have games that looked like TLOU2 on the system, would I really care about what it would look like on a PS5? No.

OtterX16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Only on my 55" 4k do I care for that extra oomph. I would be blown away to have a game on par graphically w the PS4 Pro version of TLOU II on a handheld!

Grilla13h ago

Graphics are irrelevant if it’s not running at 60fps

anast12h ago

Switch 2 is around $450 to $700 depending on the country. Let that sink in. Get that nice '280p' Cyberpunk...

They are comparing the S to the PS4. HA!

Couldn't go 2 sentences without bringing up JK Rowling's viewpoints (which are now acknowledged and supported by the UK Supreme Court). Time for all the "progressive" whiners to latch back on to reality.
