I even have a hard time killing the nazi dogs in Wolfenstein. It’s not his fault he’s a nazi dog. He’s just trying to be a good boy, and his owner is a fucking nazi.

Just pretend it's a tranq gun and once the mission's done, they're collected by dog behavioural therapists to undo the brainwashing and, in time, be collected by a family that will show them what it is to love and be loved.

I want to note that the dogs aren't actually nazis, they don't have an ideology, they just want to be good boys.

Not in souls games, those little shits are the worst.

Exactly. Fromsoft dogs can burn in the darkest pits of hell for eternity.

BURN THEM

What's your most hated version? For me it's the bloodborne dogs and those big mini boss dogs in ds3.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Probably Bloodborne just because I feel like it had the most dogs and they were always in the worst places.

That cemetery entrance especially.

Came here to say this as well. And often there're two dogs at the same time that stagger you repeatedly. I love gank

First game that came to mind for me. It's crazy, you just beat a boss easily then suddenly you're butt raped by like two dogs.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Y'all haven't experienced pain until you come across dogs in The Last of Us 2. The sounds the dogs make if you don't kill them with a headshot are the worst part of the game and I'm not exaggerating. And then it's owner will start wailing over its body. If you kill the human, the dog will start whimpering over its owners body. I played the pacifist on those levels cuz it was that bad.

Unless it's Resident Evil, then I double-tap them just to be safe.

Divinity 2: Original Sin is a wonderful game with an engaging combat system, great exploration, and an intriguing story with fun and memorable characters.

I never finished the prologue because the game forced me to fight the cute doggo. After telling me its name and asking me to find it.

I can't.

You do have the option to save it if you have the red rubber ball...though I guess there is that one dog in the cage in the next room so...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

You can't save the dog. You can only convince it not to attack you, but (a) the dialogue doesn't trigger if you progress too much before talking to it, (b) the dog and its pack turn hostile on you if you proceed with the game. The only option you have is basically to ignore them, and it's too sad for me :(

You don't have to kill it. After the first round the entire map will be engulfed in flames and poison anyways.

As someone who has recently played the cod mw trilogy, fuck video game dogs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just pixels and polygons. Sometimes the game wants you petting them, sometimes it wants you to survive their attacks, and sometimes, it wants you to harvest their meat and fur for survival. I'm currently playing a game where the armor I'm wearing largely came from dogs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

i'm gonna throw a guess out there and say Valheim. but i don't think you mean wolves so probably not...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

And afterwards, you notice there are puppies hiding in the truck nearby. -- Fallout writers

Never seen a dog in a video game only polygons and pixels that try to look like one. Never a issue.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's just skin and bones under my floorboards officer, mama says they're not real boys

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Games and real life are not the same. If you can't disconnect and understand the difference you have a real problem.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

For sure they are different, but you know that your brain putting the experience together as having qualities of dog and reacting emotionally is normal and by design. Never cried while watching a film? Boy, those things are so fake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

A dog in a film is a real dog. It is a living breathing animal and should be cared about. If it cgi then again pixels don't care.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

This. Playing Far Cry and when you shoot the dogs, which you basically have to do, they make this little whine sound and it's heartbreaking. :(

I mean, they'd absolutely tear out your spleen, but still.
