It is quite long game, and only second game ever to break 2M concurrent players on steam

PalWorld being number 2 is pretty impressive considering it only came out on the 19th. I suppose the huge number of players would make up for the relatively limited time.

Define popping up in conversation my dude

What I mean is no one talks about Hogwarts Legacy anymore. People talk about Assassin’s Creed, God of War, old Mario Games, Even older Harry Potter games but Hogwarts legacy I don’t see popping up on conversation anymore

Thats an interesting observation. I love the game and plan on starting a new playtrough this summer but you made me wonder and i cant really pinpoint annything I would talk about.
Maybe the different is that the game is an addition to a fandom rather then being the fandom. There plenty stuff to talk wizarding world. The game is more about experiencing and immersing the total rather then zooming in on its individual components.

In comparison though, it was basically one and done. Assassin’s Creed is a fairly long running franchise, God of War and Mario too technically, paired with bits of nostalgia. Palworld can always improve and still get attention past the first month.

Yeah, but Hogwarts legacy was kind of bad gameplay and story wise, wasn’t it?
Sheeple@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Kinda. Honestly I never got too deeply invested into Hogwarts Legacy but I found that games that surge THIS hard in popularity tend to be forgotten fast. Esp when their main source of attention is controversy

Combat was extremely repetitive and very easy even at the hardest difficulty.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The story was alright but pretty forgettable. The combat was kinda fun although maybe repetitive if you just fall into using the same combos all the time.
It’s the set design that I find really good. The castle is large and filled with all kinds of little details.
To me it feels like the kinda game that would benefit from having a modding community that can add more stuff to do.
