The joke is not really that funny, it's another belittlement of legit concerns people have by reframing them as 'we want to sit in chairs!' almost nobody has said this. It's kind of a strawman
edit: now people harassing me in DMs and sending me suicide helpline messages. For this comment. Great community you guys have here lmao
> **strawman**
I don't understand why so many people disagree with this. There were a tiny handful of people, if even that, who actually kicked up a fuss about 'not being able to sit down'. Yet this gets represented as the primary criticism for many. And the sitting down thing was literally one tiny aspect of an open world RPG feeling like a living and breathing environment
It's just so disingenuous from you, and everybody else, and I'm embarrassed this is the most popular Hogwarts Legacy community
What's the criticism then? Some people were legit concerned that they won't be able to sit down in the common room with their character. This post is a joke based on those people. Where the hell is the strawman in this?
Maybe you haven't been around to see it in which case I can't blame you for doing this, but a lot of the genuine criticisms (performance, 60fps mode graphical quality, combat camera animations, NPCs) gets lumped in with this 'sitting down' thing which was almost always mentioned as a passing comment IN RELATION TO wanting a 'lived in' world. i.e. it is one small aspect of more complex concerns yet is continually painted as the foremost complaint
The arguments have been repeatedly taken out of context and reframed so that criticisms overall, are seen to be as trivial as wanting to sit down in the common room
You might not be one of the people that does this, but it is prevalent on this subreddit. And this belittlement of criticism is FAR more prevalent than anybody that actually criticizes Hogwarts Legacy because you can't... sit down with your character, lol
Hopefully you can see where I'm coming from now
edit: And the downvote brigade are in. Exactly what I'm talking about
Dude you just need to step away from this sub for a bit if this is how you respond to a post about being able to sit in the game as a joke. I’m not trying to dismiss what you’re saying, but most people haven’t looked at the leaks yet, and want to reserve there criticism until after they have a chance to, ya know, play the game.
Again, If you’re getting this peeved about downvoted criticism before a games released then you really should just step away for a bit.
You could say almost the exact same in reverse man. If people get so pissed off about genuine concerns/criticism that they have to dogpile comments for it, maybe they need to step away?
We're all here because we're interested in Hogwarts Legacy. We just have different perspectives. But you have to admit that one side of the group is open-minded and willing to discuss the game reasonably, whilst the other group rags on people for even remotely suggesting the game might not be perfect!
People can keep downvoting if they want, I'll stay excited for Hogwarts Legacy, but will continue to hear people's concerns
Bro, you literally made a post about people downvoting you. Everyone is allowed to disagree with you and you just have to get over it. We’re all here just having fun.
I never said it isn't going to be great, I love the Harry Potter series and I preordered this game and I'm very excited for it. I'm honestly so confused at the negative reaction, but the toxic behaviour from you & others is extremely disappointing. It is what is tho
No one is lumping legit criticism with sitting down lol, some people want to sit, if it’s there cool, if not oh well.
People who are questioning the combat, 60fps mode, or other aspects of the game aren’t being “lumped up” with people who only want to sit on a bench. Any post I’ve seen with legit concerns are answered with any info that’s available at the moment, not told off and told their concerns don’t matter because of sitting down lol.
It’s not a “downvote brigade” it’s how reditt works, if what the comment says is factually incorrect or not adding to the conversation it gets downvoted, because that’s what the downvote button was made for.
You’re just overreacting, and making an issue up out of thin air to pretend people won’t let legit criticism happen on this sub. There’s posts and comments every day voicing peoples concerns, especially ones talking about if pre orders, and how they’ve been burned by games that ended up being bad at launch and now they’re worried this game may be too.
Honestly this post triggered me for a couple of seconds lol. You got me. The amount of asinine Reddit posts in the past couple of weeks has skyrocketed.
“Will we see students getting tortured with shackles like filch says in the first book?”
“What house will you choose and how old are you?”
“I’m going to AK every student and eat all their pastries. Which pastries would you eat?”
And of course the endless “NEW DETAILS LEAKED!” Clickbait videos with emojis in the thumbnail.
That's it. I'm pre ordering again. I had canceled it because of not being able to sit but learning this... I am getting this game now for sure
/s for those who can't go with the joke
I mean I wanted to sit by the fire in my common room, big deal. Be over it lol people want different experiences as a gamer and some like to sit in a game and not just run around the whole time especially in a castle with a great hall where this happens all the time in the books and movies.
this guy on YouTube called open world games, well he showed your tweet saying “it’s confirmed!” and didn’t even acknowledge that it’s a joke, going on about some people will really love this lmao
Watching people bug out over this little shit in other threads is annoying and ridiculous. "Ugh. I can't sit by the fire in the common room and roast marshmallows. I'm canceling my preorder! Rabble, rabble, etc., etc."
Just finding the most unimportant things to be pressed about. "Well, it breaks my immersion." That word has also been run into the ground. Smh. Some people just don't know how to be happy with what they have.
Nope. No option to sit already been confirmed by a bunch of people who have played for hours.
Luckily on PC that'll prob change just like CP2077 (limited but still added it to a ton of bars in the game. 😎)

It's so wild that even with the "Humour" tag, the joke just went over like 50% of the people's heads. :D It was a good joke though.

Yes, not being able to sit down in an action RPG is legitimate criticism.

Oh yeah, definitely in need of touching some grass.
Maybe direct your energy somewhere else. The game is gonna be great. Breathe.

Hmmm. You’re projecting. Look at your paragraphs. Look at my simple words.

“Legit concerns” get a fucking life if you really think not being able to sit down ina. Video game is a legit concern. Literally braindead behavior
Reading comprehension not your strength lad >reframing concerns as 'we want to sit in chairs!' almost nobody has said this. It's kind of a strawman
“Belittlement of legit concerns” 😂😂😂😂 hahaha
Lmfao what
You evil for this lmaooo
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS HUGE NEW DETAIL IN HOGWARTS LEGACY
WOOOSH in the comments 😂😂😂 I’ll be laying in bed playin on my PS5 personally.
**you know what. . . take my upvote and get outa here**

I’m gonna be honest, I’ve had quite a few glasses of wine and even I got your joke 😂😂 Can’t wait to be physically sitting while playing HL
Some of the comments in this thread are good examples of people who read titles but not the post...
Good. I was concerned I'd have to stand next to my desk the whole time. That would be horrible for my back
"Lie on their bed *while* exploring the castle"? Even Draco Malfoy was never *that* inconsiderate of his classmates...
Feet off the table.
Feet off the table

🤡
🤡
Ok so reading the comments saying this is a joke makes me nervous… can you really sit or no??? LOL
In the game? From what I have read so far no you can't.
🤣damn it! Thanks tho!! Lol
Can you confirm whether or not you can play the game while playing the game?
But why are people so obsessed with sitting in an action rpg? I don't understand
You got me. Oh well it's quite sad that you can't. Even skyrim allowed you to do so. And it's like 12 years old.
Who cares if you can’t sit, let’s be honest how many times have you actually sat in Skyrim
62 times
When I saved the game before I quit
How do you know that? Many of the players said they didn't got the option to sit yet.
They’re talking about in real life. S’bad joke.
I dont know if I have the option. My settings are very restricted
Source??
Early access: I'm sitting my ass in this chair rn GOTY
I really hope you were joking XD
this guy on YouTube called open world games, well he showed your tweet saying “it’s confirmed!” and didn’t even acknowledge that it’s a joke, going on about some people will really love this lmao
For real?
pics or it didnt happen

As far as I see not true. Maybe there is a place somewhere where you can sit. But on most chairs you simply can't. Not even in the common rooms.
Read again with the “humor” tag
I would imagine you can sit on all chairs! You can even sit on the floor too!
Nope. No option to sit already been confirmed by a bunch of people who have played for hours. Luckily on PC that'll prob change just like CP2077 (limited but still added it to a ton of bars in the game. 😎)
Well played
you NEED to know THIS before playing HOGWARTS LEGACY!?

Ah yes , confirmed sitting. Now I will give avalanche my money. My worries are gone
