I mean, yeah?
They're dangerous enemies. I don't LIKE it, but I've killed every one I've come across so far.

Have you killed a dog in TLOU2?
- Thread starter ToddBonzalez
- Start date
Just encountered them yesterday, every dog I've met has died. Whether it's from melee, bullets or fire they're still going to heaven.
Did not know you could sneak up on a dog but then I guess it's in a confused state. I'll try to take out the dog walkers to see if it helps with stealth.
I've done this four times and three out of four times the dog lost my scent before he ran into the mine.
This forum has a lot to learn when it comes to animal violence.
The medium in general too, but this thread is particularly disgusting.

I find it weird dogs in particular are seen as a new "disturbing" enemy to kill now that we've been desensitized to, you know, killing humans.
Anything coming to the player to attack them, don't see why you wouldn't, unless you want a stealth/no kill playthrough (which I'm not sure is actually possible, I'm sure there's some exceptions anyway)

I honestly find disturbing the continuous usage of animals as common enemies and "things" to torture and kill in games.
It's something i particularly like from games like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Breath of the Wild, where animals are just there minding their own business and, at most, you can choose to kill them for food and resources
I have issues with developers that use animals as mobs to kill.
Yeah, no. Fuck that noise.
Have you played the game? Its definitely meant to be uncomfortable but its absolutely not for the purpose of being things to kill.
The perspective shift later in the game makes it clear why that had to be done
I haven't. I'm still to play TloU, wich came bundled with my Slim. It doesn't change my opinion about having animals to kill in a game.
I get it, they try to make us feel bad for killing but it's not too hard to see it as just a game.
Would I do it in real life, heck no.If one is attacking me, maybe but not if I have a way to only disengage.
It was interesting to see the AI reactions they have made so that was actually kinda amusing and I kinda laugh at how they really(developer) want to do make you feel something.
I would pet and play with the dog too if given the chance, cause its actually fun.
I did avoid killing in one section of the game. Just cause I want to and I am glad I was able to.

I know I killed that dog I was playing with and I just view it as the developer really trying to make you feel it. It sucks in a way they make you do that but it's a game in the end

I find it heartwarming that they always stay close to their owner.
Good for taking two assholes down at once when I´m having me a Molotov Dog-Barbecue.
(I thank the heavens that there are no attack-cats)
((Yakuza 2 notwithstanding))

I've killed everything that can be killed, or at the least that want to kill me, so far. Haven't burned a dog yet like the State of Play gameplay as I save them for the big boy spore fuckers. I did have one stray dog left but the music kept at the combat intense level and I couldn't loot in peace so he got a ticket to doggy heaven. All for a scrap of cloth and 2 bullets smh
The result of the poll makes me happy. I can't understand having more empathy for dogs than actual humans.

You're literally forced to kill Alice in a QTE, just before the perspective shift happens to let you see what a good dog she is, in a ham fisted way to guilt the player for killing the dog they had no choice but to kill.
Should have left her to continue playing fetch with her squeaky squid.

I am really amazed how many people can't grasp a story about actual perspective. Staggering, really.
I guess the only good thing ND could've done is either paint a perfect animal-friendly apocalypse or don't make you feel bad at all about killing things.
Do people here seriously think that the world is that black and white?

The very first one I encountered was led into a bomb, I beat the second with a upgraded 2x4, and I shot the last two.
It is what it is.
