Remember when they turned Harry Potter games into Third Person

Remember when movie tie-ins were constantly rained upon us and weren't a once in a blue moon thing?

games are more expensive to make now.

I think there are a lot of mobile ones now though.

>>381283189
ended with last gen, cant afford the game development anymore and like hell a studio would hand over intellectual property to an indie

Waggle was cancer.

Remember when some of them were good?

>>381283060
I remember the HP games actually used to be decent open world adventure games

>>381283308
This. They make them for mobile now.

Cheaper to make and with better profit potential because of whales.

What do you expect when a game developer has to make a game based on one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

And the mobile games are so shitty anyway, full of micro-transactions and all that crap

Why isn't there an RPG taking place in high school with social links and weirdly named magic spells?
