The Last of Us Part II almost let you remove violence against dogs

The Last of Us Part II is pretty violent even toward dogs. Most players will murder a ton of canines over their journey and Naughty Dog mulled over adding in an option that cut that out of the game.

good thing they left it in. This is a post apocalyptic world where everything is for survival. Who care if PETA flips out.

nowitzki20041761d ago

If they stopped wasting time on digital animals they might actually save more real animals.

Nitrowolf21761d ago

Honestly, I would probably rather them waste time on digital animals than real ones. At least the digital ones don't end up getting killed by PETA "good" deeds

rainslacker1761d ago

Those dogs would maul you in a heartbeat. PETA can kiss my ass if they think I'm not going to defend myself against a dog attacking me. Luckily, this is a video game, and no dogs were harmed in the making of it, nor does shooting a digital puppy mean that you are hurting real animals, nor does it promote hurting animals in any way.

dumahim1760d ago

Yep. Dogs are awesome and all, but these fake dogs are trying to bite my face off. I'm going to defend myself and not get worked up over it.

rainslacker1760d ago

If it makes PETA feel better, I like the dogs better than their human trainers.:)

RosweeSon1761d ago

Tons- about 5-10 throughout the entire journey 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 not every enemy has a dog. Normally 1-2 per group and this isn’t in every group you encounter.

TheEnigma3131761d ago

it's only the WLFs that have them.

rainslacker1761d ago

Not even sure there are more than 3-4 encouters with dogs. There were a couple with the last faction there in the end. 2 I think.

goldwyncq1761d ago

I’m glad Neil didn’t cave in and added that option. It’s funny how unspeakable violence against other humans are completely okay in games but once you touch animals some people would consider such an act as going too far.

nowitzki20041761d ago

I agree but I cant blame them.. Have you seen humans lately?

CanadianTurtle1761d ago

Have you seen pitbulls lately?

@zero

I love how you delivered this comment

MrBobSugar1760d ago

It's because dogs are better than people.

Your character should instead have the option to pet them and rub their bellies. That way, no digital doggos need go to (digital) heaven.

SonyStyled1761d ago

Your character can pet them, throw balls, toys, and kill them too! Did you just start the game or haven’t played yet?

SaveFerris1760d ago

Haven't played it. I meant petting them instead of killing.

Glad they didn't change the art style. This is looking good.. Why did they change the way the characters look anyway? The very first style was kind of ok, it was fine by Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.. both in game sprite and the dialogue popups, why keep changing it? I am not as fussed on her newer look. She's looking kinda too dark or sunburnt now.

well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.

so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them

Abriael3d ago

Yeah doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as long as they have enough supply.

Si-Fly3d ago

Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.

Skate-AK3d ago

I don't think it's so much Thanksgiving, but that Black Friday is the day after.

darthv723d ago (Edited 3d ago )

That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.

gold_drake2d ago

i guess its more black friday, should have been more clear ha

GotGame8182d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Thanksgiving kicks off the Christmas Holiday.

Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.

Rancegamerx3d ago

I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.

PRIMORDUS3d ago

Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
