Would you play a harry potter MMO?

would you play a harry potter MMO?

inb4 the pasta

if it was good yeah

no

only if it has you do a personality test when creating your account and then your hardware becomes locked to your assigned house.

Yes

>MMO
No, but I would play a single-player Harry Potter RPG.

I'd try it in the very least.

Maybe 10 years ago but at this point I honesly do not give a single fuck about the entire franchise

I have, it was interesting.

I liked how after the school section there was a section about adult life as a wizard.

It's a shame only 80 or so people played it.

I would give it a try 6 years ago.
But it would be probably a MMORPG, which is genre I despise and drop it 2 weeks later

You should be able to carry a 1911.
Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12.
And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it's because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal.
Now I know what you're going to say: "But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!" Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger?
Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova.
Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don't think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort's wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry's would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let's see Voldy wave his at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound.
I can see it now...Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can't be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series:
"Well then I guess it's a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1."
And that is why a Harry Potter MMO should have a 1911.

MMOs are trash

just play Garry's mod

Playing it would probably be as dull as watching any movie under the name of Harry Potter, the dullest franchise 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,

Is this a pasta of some sort?

>"No!"
every time

being trained to read Stephen King

HP MMO wouldn't work. You can't force all people to coordinate in that setting in a way that would be believable.
Now a single player RPG with a "Bully"-esque map where you can pick your own house and play through the entire year in a day-to-day manner (similar to Persona) - that would be fucking amazing. Imagine being able to choose what subjects you want to focus on, building relationships with other students, having full freedom to explore Hogwarts (1:1 size, not a usual scaled-down replica), and becoming the most badass student of all somehow. That's something I would play.

Yup, no Harry Potter -related thread (on ANY board) is spared from this shit. That pasta sadly lacks the picture that is usually paired with it. It's kind of a tier-list of literature that lists HP and LotR as the lowest trash and has Atlas Shrugged on the top tier

>tfw this isn't a real thing

"No!"
