I'm all for another game in the franchise, but quidditch isn't a very compelling part of the world for me.

as a sports game, quidditch feels shaky. its fine for narrative purposes, but it's not a real sport. so I'm not sure how they will build it into one.

"Ramirez has caught the parking lot frog" sums it up so succinctly.

Seems like a lot of folks are not really interested in the quirky sport, so saying fans are rejoicing because of this announcement sounds like they don't really understand why people played HL.

Its like saying Dark Souls fans rejoice because From Software announced a fitness spinoff called Yoga with Solaire. Okay actually, they might. Bad example.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I went to ddg looking for yoga with solaire and then found nothing and was heartbroken.

but yeah I'm a huge HL and HP fan in general and I'm planning to skip this one because I don't really care about quidditch. its only real interest to me was as a cool plot tool. nothing more.

Honestly they could've had a quidditch minigame in HL. The two that are in it are fun, but they either need to be replayable without having to start a whole new story, or add more minigames based around causing mischief and having fun with your wizard friends.

Afaik there are people actually playing quidditch, brooms and all. So there must be something playable there

[–] Nima@leminal.space 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always thought the whole point of quidditch was to put the protag as the most important position in the game.

but yeah I've seen "quidditch" being played. I'm just not certain how compelling it is without a protagonist player.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I could see a quidditch game kinda work if it was like a hero shooter or whatever. Each team has a roster of certain characters with different stats to fulfill the different roles. There could be a snitch, but just make it so incredibly fast that it comes down to pure luck if you happen to catch it. Or just make different playable modes like "no snitch" and "with snitch".

I have played quidditch, with the broom.

I spent more time trying not to trip over said broom than actually playing. And I'm somewhat athletic. It wasn't great.
