Has Chop lost his uniqueness?

[MikeyBelic]

So I've read rumours that Chop can die and the player can replace him by purchasing another pooch at any local pet store. From when we saw that image of Chop lots of users thought it'd be cool to have a dog that followed the player around, something very unique for GTA and games in general.

 

However if it's true that Chop can just get lost or die and the player can replace him with another dog they purchase, do you think he's lost that uniqueness he orignally had from day one?

 

I'm probably on the edge with my answer, so I'll say yes.

 

Remember the question isn't revolved around the fact it's unique that GTA has dogs, it's revolved around the fact Chop is REPLACEABLE with other dogs.

 

This hasn't being confirmed on GTAV.NET but I've seen some threads circulating it and I read something along the same lines on some websites that are normally reliable, and personally I'd like to know whether the communities views on Chop being unique have now shifted, if this is true of course.

[IDredMan]

Null vote, I want a cat pet in GTAV.

[I<3GTAV]

I'll probably cherish him just like I did with horses in RDR. I got really emotionally attached to them for some reason, I recently lost a horse I had for 3 years

1) If he gets lost we can find him. He has a bone as indicator on the minimap.

2) If he can die, it will be a scripted scenario. It would be pointless to promote a dog in videos and artworks, give him a name and then have the risk he can die during the first 20 minutes of the game.

 

These rumors you've heard (I guess you picked them from this strange spanish article which was written by a moron) are bullsh*t.

 

End of story.

Make sure you disconnect your console straight away

[omer19992010]

I hope you can command him to stay in your house so he doesn't die or get Lost.

[IveGotNoValues]

If all this stuff about Chop being replaced if he dies is true im kind of disappointed. I thought Chop would be one of a kind to Franklin and have some sort of backstory and emotional connection to him.

Whatever, I guess I have to remember this is GTA and not some touching family Old Yeller/Marley and Me game haha

I only ever said at the moment that this is rumor, hell half the stuff GTAV.NET posts could end up not being in the game at the end of the day, but I'm asking the question in two aspects, also wanting to know how the community would react, even if it's only rumor.

 

Unfortunately I don't feel it could be too unlikely, remember that cops are most likely going to have dogs, hence making pet stores a more then phaseable reality.

Well maybe pet stores are only to buy him a collar or a ball to play with or something. Or a cat as a dinner

I highly doubt he can die while we are freeroaming around with him. If he can and will be dead "forever" I will puke in my living room. This would be pointless.

 

Maybe he can "die" but only a dead like our protags. He will respawn at the next vet and we can pick him up there. I guess.

[d3ex2]

No!

 

If he isn't actually in the game and we need to create him then I will create him. I will guard him with my life and if anyone even looks him at him the wrong way then I will have no option but to destroy them.

 

Chop is best dog!

 

LOVE YOU CHOPPY!!!

[Dick Justice]

Here's the scenario.

 

>Chop dies.

>Buy same breed of dog

>Name him Chop II (assuming you can name your pet like you can have unique license plates)

>Chop II dies

>Buy Chop III

>Continue forever

 

See how many Chops you can have.

The "wow this is cool" feeling disappears at "Chop X".

[Chukkles]

Chances are that you don't have chop to begin with, you'd have to buy him and name him chop.

 

I said this from day 1, dogs should be expendable.

[PSN-Blackhawk_1989]

Crap, enough said

[LotusRIP]

If you love him like a real dog, dont let him die or get lost... Just like what happens in real life. It actually would be more effective if we have the same dog all through the game and avcidently let him get shot and killed (for good)... Imagine the emotional impact. Versus just picking him up at the vet a million times...

[rickbro]

What you read wasn't confirmed. Don't get your hopes up for dogs to be fully customizable.

-Enemy shoots Chop to his death.-

 

 

RAMPAGE!

[GTA_REEFER]

to be honest I think it would be awesome to be able to buy a pitbull or a k9 also. And hopefully to chop is just a filler name so we can also name him however we please. I want a female red nose pit with a pink collar

[Moonwalker98]

Chop was in a cutscene, so he WILL be there from the beginning.

You can't chose to not have a dog

[luckyshot666]

Chop will respawn in animal clinic.

first thin i do the game is getting rid of the dog and buy a cat

[datboishad]

 

no dog in gta v will look as badass as chop does in this picture

 

ot: since he can die i think ill cherish him more and keep an eye on him

[finalstageboss]

imo chop wont die unless its scripted, he could be a big part of Franklin's life.

 

ps. cats suck

Hey! You take that back right meow! Cats rule!!

It wouldn't be very cool for 1000+ options to exist if there was only one dog lol.

We don't even know if cats are in.

[TheWordIsMarc_HD]

Hmm...Dont hate this because i feel the same way as in I wouldn't want to watch Chop die ...BUT ..If his not STORY CONNECTED...Then i want it possible that he can Die.

 

His an Animal like the Deer etc. His like the Civilian Al on the street. They all Die,So Chop Also. I can use Chop myself so id prefer to build a connection with the Dog and have the feeling like iv got to protect him and if his Murdered people are gonna pay.

 

So as much as id hate to see him Die...I want the possibility for him to Die.

 

And can you only buy 1 Dog? Per Character? , Trevor will probably have hundred, Killing them himself most the time probably haha

[d3ex2]

I'm not putting up with this speculation non sense!

 

I have emailed Rockstar asking for them to clear this all up. I asked if Chop will be there for everyone or if we need to create him. Also, I asked if cats are in. Because as much as I love Choppy...cats are so much better.

you probably cant kill him probably because he is needed for the story.

Lol i doubt you can create him. He'll be the first Dog. U should of asked if he can die , if u can buy dogs and how many to each character. Cats would be cool but you'd never see it. Cats are independent.
