Literally every RPG makes you murder animals as a crucial part of gameplay and I really dont like it. It hurts me to my core. Not fun at all, it ruins the enjoyment I get out of the game. Its so sad.

Lol I was just given a quest in FF14 to kill sheep.

Like the dangerous fungus monsters and mutated insects, I understand. But these were just actual sheep lol What they do to deserve this??

If those wolves think I'm a tasty snack, then I'm making them into the tasty snack. Only way the rest will learn.

I think it's a good thing. People should sate their desire to hurt virtually than do it in reality. Most trophy hunters are too simple-minded to accept this as a viable alternative.

Destroying a living being isn't killing it?

The bosses were later destroyed.

Ya, that's when I started calling 1-800-USA-SEGA.
Best decision in my gaming life.

Not sure that makes it better.

"I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to destroy you" is some classic 80s villain shit, right there

The zombie dogs in Resident Evil do that. Do you feel bad for them too?!

Murdering human beings is a-ok though
If they literally cried when you shot them I would feel bad

I kinda wish it didn't take so long to get the Satyr bags, they kill runs.

They sprites/models and programs. They're not alive so they're getting destroyed until the game spawns in more.

Ignore when people say that the title length is not important, that a title should just convey what the game is about. They're just jealous theirs isn't as long

Sounds like a personal problem. They definitely do make sounds of pain in some games.

Hearing people writhing in pain in Verdun and Tannenburge can be a little disturbing, not gonna lie.

I mean, in RPGs where human bosses take exponentially more amount of damage than these giant animals (and oftentimes are only knocked out/injured themselves) I think it's reasonable to presume they're only knocked out unless explicitly shown otherwise.

80's Nintendo philosophy made the "gaminess" explicit: that pile of pixels meant to represent an enemy isn't "killed", but removed from play.
