Yep. I still love HP, it comforts me when I'm sick and I'm reading them now in hospital. But Rowling has caused damage in terms of herself and her writing. The second beast film wasn't good at all. The first was actually quite good I thought though. 

She just seems to be stuck down a weird rabbit hole. I get what she wants but she's hurting the wrong people to get it. 


What she wants is to make the world worse for marginalised people because she’s a bigoted cunt. There’s no good intentions gone awry here.

She wants complete safety for women. Given the Tim Westwood story, among many others, we are so so far from that. She's a damaged woman, who has become utterly unhinged by the thought a man will pretend to be a woman to hurt another woman. 

 

We are so far from equality. We pretend we aren't but we are.

Tim Westwood didn't have to pretend to be a woman to hurt women. Neither did all the other abusers who have come to light in trhe past decade. She's concocted some bogeyman figure that only exists in her and other TERF's head.

Possibly better for a different thread but I can understand where she's coming from even if I feel that she's directing her worry at the wrong group of people. Surviving a sexual assault completely changes your threat assessment perception by turning it up to 11.

I didn’t realise they showed a bit more of the game.

 

There’s some actual gameplay in this video but it still looks a bit slow and ropey.

 

Watching that it feels so incongruant. The player marching around throwing spells left and right, obliterating people and goblins. You're playing the evil hardened dark wizards right? The idea that you're a student just fucking people up seems so at odds with the concept.

 

The original story suggests the same problem for me to an extent. I actually prefer it when it's some kids getting up to hijinks and wandering into trouble. As it escalates the idea just seems stupid. And the comparative incompetence of fully trained adult wizards stands out as somewhat weird.

Yeah, I suspect this isn't the whimsy that Harry Potter fans are after unless this has been designed for just the one house. I mean some of those magic spells just looked brutal! Taking a goblin and repeatedly smacking him into the ground? In terms of misreading the tone of the work this feels similar to that Lord of the Rings game with "sexy" Shelob.

I may watch too much Special Victims Unit (I DEFINITELY watch too much…) but it makes you wonder what maybe happened to her to be so broken.

The Collectors Editions of this sound like straight-up rip-offs.


It’s exclusive to Game and all versions are still available on their website. The CE for Horizon Forbidden West which were also Game exclusive sold out almost immediately in comparison so by that very small sample size maybe this won’t be as popular as I thought.

Regular version for us mere mortals is only 40 quid (ps5) at Argos right now, which seems reasonable both in terms of price for a preorder, and limiting funding going to TERFs...

https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8446006?

 

PS4 version is cheaper too, but no confirmation (or even hint of) free upgrade.

 

Now I just need to decide if I actually want to buy / play it!

There's only one reasonable price that limits funding going to TERFs, and it ain't £40 at retail.

 

(Just wait a week and buy second hand).

This game is arguably the best example of consumer boycotts never working - here's a game a that is both funding a TERF hate campaign and it looks shit if we're brutally honest. Yet people are still falling over themselves to throw money at it because "it's Harry!"

 

Edit: not directed at anyone in this thread. I see a lot of excitement on social, which surprised me.
