    I'm not convinced that it's even possible to make a fun quiddich game

    It probably isn't because of the nature of the game.

    It essentially requires multiplayer at all times

    1 person controlling the chasers

    1 controlling the beaters

    1 controlling the keeper/seeker?

    That Quidditch World Cup game was fucking fun.

    It could be done but it would require some out of the box thinking. You would have to be able to change control of teammates on the fly, and there would need to be a lot of leeway in terms of precision, and some really good AI/automation at work. I wouldn't trust someone like EA Sports to make it, but a dev with some imagination could do it.

    Hot take: Quidditch is a dumb sport and they were right to keep it out of the game

    The seeker position point total is dumb, the game itself despite is fun as shit and a well done multiplayer game would be great imo.

    I beat the main quest line and am a completionist. This is going to suck getting the platinum for. So many hidden things (like previously mentioned ITT). It's also going to be annoying having to replay 2 hours 3 seperate times to be in each house.

    This was actually my initial thought, too. Largely because I'm played 100+ of blitzball in my life.

    But the more I think about it, the more I think making it like that would take a lot of the fast-paced joy out of the game.

    I think the Seeker and how he interacts with the other players, even more than the Snitch, would be a really tough mechanic.

    When Phineas said that they banned Quiddich due to an injury, my reaction was that's some lazy as fuck plot justification but it was the right call

    I feel like it would’ve been much easier to just have the character’s house team be full or something else like that

    But that also tracks with PNG being one of the least popular headmasters of all time

    As a standalone multiplayer game ala Rocket League there's potential for Quiddich to be a fun video game. But you'd have to completely change the rules so actually never mind it's a dumb sport

    there's just something about fake sports that i love more than real sports. hundreds of hours in both blitz and qwc.

    i do think qwc had a good enough gameplay formula. i would like to see full multiplayer quidditch, and don't really think it would be too difficult to pull off, but i'd be fine with a game that doesn't have it.

    A problem with real sports video game is there's a tension between making it look/feel like the real-life counterpart and making it the best comp video game it can be. Fake sports don't have the first thing

    The solution to students killing in Hogwarts using Avada Kedavra on other students is to teach all students Avada Kedavra.

    Avada Kadavra-proof backpacks and disabling the floo powder stations should do it.

    Just finished the main storyline. Really fun game. Incredible job for a studio making their first big title.

    I've still got a half dozen or so side quests to do, but between that at Metroid Prime there's enough to keep me busy until RE4 releases next month.

    Also finished the main quests last night. The faculty and students along with general population of the Highlands do not seem to recognize what I accomplished. I'm arguably the most powerful wizard in the country as a 5th year. I brought a criminal enterprise to it's knees. Killed someone no one would challenge and sent another to Azkaban. I also defeated a demon dragon goblin saving all of wizard kind. What did I get for the trouble? 100 points to House Slytherin, which only 5-6 people came over to say thank you for and Professor Weasley telling me I need to complete my field guide and get ready for the OWL exam. Did you just see what I did? I think I have a firm grasp of magic now.

    All of them except for a few in the area of the map you open late.

    Wife- "are you going to keep playing that game until midnight even though you beat it?"
    Me- "yes. I need to kill 5 more trolls and I have to roll a rock down a hill a few more times and breed 4 more fictional animals."
