anyone else find this game boring pretty quick

[Slyclopz]

For real fora AAA game with so much hype it got boring fast finding it hard to keep going trying to push and beat the game but just getting so boring.

Yeah, I have lost pretty much all momentum ingame. I might even uninstall it because I have zero urge to continue playing. But I guess it was an experience...

[cridus]

are you only doing the main quest? and how far have you gotten?
it's fun when you have many spells (and unlocked all "spell wheels") and once you've unlocked more things. this game likes unlocking features very late.

like, I wouldn't be surprised if some people had refunded/abandoned the game while still being in hogwarts because they found it boring, not knowing yet that there's a big open world too and many features not yet unlocked.

It got better for me after a while.

[Hernok]

No, is getting better and better.

[Bear D]

Cannot force myself anymore, after 23 hours I've lost my interest. Repetitive and boring.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

think i'll buy the deluxe edition :)

[Slyclopz]

I put in a refund for this game just not worth the money i spent 73 hours played but i want a refund even half my money this is so boring.

I think the fact that the game gives you features so late doesn't help it retain players... it gives you a very "nerfed", dumbed-down experience at the beginning and unless you give it faith and keep doing the main quests to unlock more stuff, you risk getting a prematurely negative opinion about it just because you haven't seen even ⅕ of what it can offer.
I guess this is a flaw of the game design...

p.s. with 73 hours this might not be the OP's case, though.
@OP how many features had you unlocked?

[Flaming Nebula]

That's not how that works though lol, you spent 73 hours, there's definitely no refund coming your way, and if you were bored the whole 73 hours then I don't know how you were playing it

It's getting better and better for me as I dive deeper into the open world aspect. I assume the people who find it boring are those who just trail blazed through the main story.

[Joster]

Not at all. Trying to get 100% rn, almost there. I assume once i get 100%, that my next playthrough wont be so exciting though.

Story-wise, the game has intrigued me more as I've played it, which is the main reason why I've kept coming back.

But overall, I can completely understand (and mostly agree) the feelings some people have about HL being a generic and mediocre RPG. The world is large but feels very empty and the details are nice. But it doesn't at all feel like you're a student at a school, classes do nothing but allow story progression and to give you the secondary task of learning a new spell you'll need for later.

Using the unforgivable curses has almost zero impact on anything, save some dialogue changes. Scouring the map is mostly done either for the story or just for collectibles (good for those 100% achievers) and it's disappointing to see that several aspects are undercooked, like spell casting and the lack of quidditch for another.

If this wasn't a game made with the HP brand, I can't say it would be receiving the accolades it's currently getting. I see why some people like it, I see why some don't. But games like Skyrim, The Witcher and even Dragon Age have done the RPG formula better imho.

Had the same feeling.

Also refunded it due to performance related issues.
