I read through the entire thread (skimmed a little) after your comment and saw almost none of what you describe. Two high-order comments about the overdone genre, maybe three generic "game sucked" and two "I played it or know someone who did and it sucked". People are talking way more about Starfield's mechanics than HL's ITT.
Are you that sure that no one here played it? Are reviews from critics and users alike also invalid? What's your angle here?
It sounds an awful lot like the old "you can't judge Dr. Professor Jordan Bernt Peterson Esquire PhD MD until you've watched several dozen hours of him crying on Youtube" gambit to me.
Yeah, I could be wrong, I just didn't think it was likely that the people in this thread would invest that much time into a bad game.
Sounds like you're claiming that people should not talk about the game unless they played it enough to meet your arbitrary standard, which would leave them open to "why are you playing a game you don't like? If you don't like it don't play it" smugposting instead.
it just seems weird that it's getting such a strong reaction
It's bigoted and bland trash and it is upsetting that it's that superficially profitable while not even retaining its own audience for long. For me it's more weird that you're apparently that concerned about people dunking on it.
but the gameplay in hogwarts legacy really is amazing. actual magic wielding finally done right in a harry potter game and damn it feels good killing bad guys and flipping them around and shit. game should have been nominated it was super fun
Possibly one of the most milquetoast dark souls roll steamrolls of the year, with zero replayability and worse build depth than starfield. The story has two interesting beats total. I'm sorry you think this was good gameplay, lichdom:battlemage from a decade ago outshines it completely and the only interesting thing the spells might bring is stockholm syndrome style nostalgia from a wholly overrated children's novel series. If your idea of good gameplay is flinging things around, maybe see if you can find hit flash game interactive buddy in an archive.

Yahtzee's review basically confirmed the game was what I was expecting it to be. It's pretty obvious what is is from gameplay footage.

dunno why you sent that, i have actually played the game and actually had real fun with it. what is your problem with the game?
Got any deals on bananas right now?
yes. i have big bananas, on sale now!
How big are these bananas exactly? I need a banana for scale.
The depiction of goblins seems kinda sketchy 2 me, idk
imagine having a problem with Harry Potter and the Protocols of the Elder Goblins
unfathomable
Is this a bit?

Just find a used copy of Dark Messiah if you want that
