Why there are no animals in GTAo.

The funny part is - none of this is online, you still control Trevor in SP and you still can hunt animals in SP, but none of this sh*t in online. So that being the real reason behind not having animals in online, yes? :D

They should add them anyway. At least the sharks, mountain lions, and guard dogs. Let players take their chances with abusing those animals in GTA Online.

I wish people would stop being so god damn sensitive over stuff like this in video games.

Last time I checked, killing PEOPLE was cruel and illegal too, but no one cares about that do they? No, because its a game.

 

"Abuse that is unnecessary to the plot." And bashing each other's brains in with a baseball bat in Online, or leaving a man on the train tracks tied up in the trunk of a car is totally necessary, huh?

 

Stupid. Just because you're able to do this stuff in the game, doesn't mean people are going to do it in real life. They might not even do it in the game...

Again it sounds like complete crap, you can control Trevor, but only in SP, not online and animals weren't online even at the begining of online, so those reasons about player can control Trevor and kill animals in online are complete BS. We still can do this in SP even these days and in the future. Why can we still do this in SP? Because R* don't care.

It must be something else behind not having animals in online, something like memory restriction or IDK, but not this BS.

I thought I did see animals in GTA:O, but it could be me confused with GTA V. Aren't there like dogs and stuff in GTA:O?

Nope. Not a single animal...not even birds. Environment feels sooooo empty without them

Wow. Well, that sucks :p

 

Do you think it's because of the underwater mapping as well?

I was trying to find out more about GTAO hunting yesterday, I guess its not possible? How silly... A full thriving environment perfect for wildlife, yet online is void of this... It's a video game... these animal abuse nutjobs need to go focus on REALITY instead of a non-existent virtual f*cking world. Get a life... Do they not understand that the "animals" are nothing more than computer code projected into space that we perceive in 2D, which do not actually exist? These "animals" feel no pain... Even if people want to drive over herds of elk or cows, who gives a sh*t? It's an M-RATED video game! I hope the reason for no online hunting is not because of animal rights activists.

I'm pretty sure it's not because of this BS. We can still hunt elks and whatever in SP. If R* really cared about this, they'd strip us from doing so in SP, but no, we still have those opportunities. So something else must be behind it. Really, it's not this.

I highly doubt they created this massive world and forgot about animals in GTAO and then say "oops, oh well, not enough room in the online world for this... we'll leave it out." So like you say, its probably not because of "animal abuse," and they simply did not "forget" about animals. They intentionally left them out. Unless they think because GTAO is online so more people will get together and kill virtual animals, and thats too "unethical" because multiple people kill animals at once? But thats a potential, and probably a small minority of people who will do that, so its silly to leave something out because people could "potentially harm animals in large amounts." This is an excellent question for R* indeed, why no animals/hunting in online?!

Well, there aren't a lot of interiors (which were promised by the way) because of the limitations of the engine or console. But true, animals shouldn't take up much space really I think.

Well I'm not saying they had no room for animals. Or that they've forgot to add them. There is way more things in online, that use system memory, than in SP, maybe that's why they left animals out. Or IDK. Just that abuse crap is pretty silly by itself. If it was this thing, they would change the SP also. People, who come with the abuse thing, wouldn't get clear with just the online part, as that reason described there is mainly in SP (or I should say, it's ONLY in SP). That can't be possibly the reason of that. Must be something else then. What it is? IDK. But not this abuse BS.

sh*t, i thought it was because the game was resource intensive as sh*t to the point where they HAD to cut certain things out

 

didn't know people were paranoid that if someone killed a cat in GTA5 they'd find their cat in real life, splattered all over the driveway

 

.....and the neighbor's yard. and the mailbox. and on the street.

 

but mostly in the grill of someone's car.

Yup, animal rights people actually believe that. And we have to deal with it. Damnit :p

I only want animals in online if i can get a dog to help me with a prostitute.

 

I would like to have an option for a pet in online, similiar to Chop in story mode, and the SP mission with Chop going after the last O'Neil brother.

You can kill people at will, theive, f*ck prostitutes and other 'unethical' doings, yet people are arsed about the animals (not actual animals mind you) and R* choose to take them of online... Um ok.

surprised by the curve this thread is taking, actually talking about the game

 

pretty soon though, i expect it to turn into a debate between nerdy virtual animal rights activists, and meatheads that use dead animals to compensate for a small willy.

 

this is a REAL touchy subject, as i've seen in another thread that discussed something similar to this

True, it is a touchy subject. I just read through my post again and I just want to clarify that I don't agree with animal cruelty in any way whatsoever. I love animals.

I just think that the way people react to ANYTHING slightly controversial or out of the ordinary in video games these days is just completely ridiculous.

You can't expect every game in the world to be sunshine and unicorns, or just your menial run and gun, shoot things with a gun that just vanish instead of die.

 

Its a game!! :panic:

I would've went with Mountain Lion that would follow the same directions given to Chop. But if a Tiger is added, sure why not?
