TO be fair there are A LOT of people on this forum who have commented on a characters appearance as in calling he/she attractive (to put it nicely). In my opinion, at least OP is emotional about a dog. . . the scene was pretty realistic.
Let me get this straight... you are going to ragequit because your emotions can't handle fictional, animated violence?
Do you understand ho… morew pathetic that sounds?
People aren't calling you a troll to try to be mean... they are doing it to be nice. Being a troll, in this situation, would make you more respectable as a person. It's sort of like giving you the benefit of the doubt. That's what I will do, too. I'll just say you're "trolling" as a sign of good will
Youre overreacting instead of a dog getting killed you would rather show a little girl get eaten alive? plus its cartoony as shit and the animal was dangerous. stop being a hippie worst shit has been put in movies EX: Resident Evil
wow these comments are really heating up here. I was also hurt when the dog attacked me and I had to kill it and yeah I thought the same thing, "how could telltale put this situation here and make me kill a dog" and I cried because I love animals and don't think I would be really able to hurt an animal even if it was hurting me but I took it as the dog was trying to survive like me and he was abandoned and probably didn't have food in days and yeah, you get the point. The way they portrayed it was harsh but it could happen
I don't think I've seen anyone that "liked" the fact that the dog was killed. They liked the scene, the unexpectedness of it, and the emotional weight that it brought ... but not the actual act of the dog dying. You're stepping way out of line calling people "sociopaths" just because they didn't immediately shut off the game at this point. In reality, the fact that this scene has made such an impact on people, and it was so sad to witness proves how much people care about animals. They were sad at what they had to do. Given that 90% of people gave the dog a merciful death instead of letting it suffer is also proof. No one found this "fun." If you're worried that people will play this and decide it'd be cool to go abuse their pet, I can assure you, that won't be the case. Most people were pretty heartbroken by this, and most people can separate fiction from reality.
I don't understand your "because worse things happen to animals in real life is why I don't want it in the game," argument in the least. Worse things happen to human beings every day, yet I don't see any outrage from you on any of the countless human characters that have died in this game series. Duck was a kid ... he died. You say the adults have it coming ... what did Omid, or Carley, or Doug, or Chuck do to deserve to die?
Bottom line, it sounds like this may not be the game series for you. This game is about people trying to hold on to their humanity in a merciless, brutal world, and how at some point, you usually have to make the decision to either die the person you want to be, or do whatever it takes to stay alive. There are going to be many more gut-wrenching moments to come.
What kind of sociopath likes to see animals getting killed? Because worse things happen to animals on a day to day basis is WHY I don't need t… moreo see it in the games I play.
Besides, it didnt make any sense whatsoever. It was a pet that was used to being fed. it played fetch and was docile around clem. Telltale just made the dog go beserk cause they dont have a clue how real life works and in the process ruined a perfectly good game.
I have no problems if a person dies in a game, chances are a person had it coming.
Animals are innocent (and children) which is why you don't do this sort of thing.
Are they ruthless? Humans are the only want who can be savage, ruthless and moral-less, because we have knowledge to achieve that. Animals just kill for food, humans kill for fun.
Sometimes we could learn a thing or two from animals like dogs...
Animals are NOT innocent! They are savage, ruthless, and moral-less! They do whatever it takes to survive. Racoons and other small creature… mores dig into your food stash, causing you to starve. A bear mauls you because you are to close for comfort. A mountain lion murders you out of starvation and kills you. A dog bites you and gives you an infection for a can of beans. Animals are far from innocent; it is the worst you can be. When a domestic dog turns savage, is kill or be killed; I don't care anymore what it once was, it is now a savage.
In human definition, they are ruthless: they have no morals or ethics, no thought before action, so therefore, by human definition, they are ruthless. We were gifted with thought, but we are also cursed with thought; if we use our gift in the wrong way, we can potentially turn worse than a savage. There is a reason why animals are seen as the lowest one can be in human society: it's because they are the basic functions of living, but nothing more. But only a human can be worse than an animal if he decides to be. A human can choose to enjoy murder; an animal cannot. A human can also choose to enjoy helping others; an animal cannot.

It should. If it didn't you would be a sociopath.
