The Division 2 spelers willen heel graag honden aaien

Ben jij al begonnen met The Division 2? Misschien is het je wel opgevallen dat het niet mogelijk is om de honden in de game te aaien. Je kunt ze wel doodschieten, maar aaien is geen optie. Het is wel mogelijk om honden te aaien in andere games van Ubisoft. Denk hierbij aan Watchdogs 2, Far Cry: New Dawn en zelfs in Assassin’s Creed 3 kon het al. Ben jij al verdrietig van dit dieronvriendelijke nieuws?

Spelers willen honden aaien

Er zijn behoorlijk wat mensen die de behoefte voelen om de in game viervoeters te aaien. Zo zijn er meerdere berichten op Reddit en social media te vinden die vragen om de functie.  “Why on Earth can’t we pet the damn dogs in this game?!”, schreef Raddz5000 op Reddit. “They come up to you looking all sad, just staring at you, wanting some pets. But nooOOOooo, we can only stare back. We should be able to pet them, give them a snack from our food resources, maybe they’ll follow us around a bit, giving moral support. It’s 2019 now and we still can’t pet the dogs. Literally unplayable.”

“Let me pet the dogs,” aldus redditor sketchygio.  “A virus has been unleashed on humanity, anarchy rules, and man’s best friend is left to wander the streets. We are allowed to shoot them like some sick maniac, but we cannot pet them to let them know it’s all gonna be OK? Absurd! I demand the ability to pet any and all of the good boys and girls I might encounter on the streets. Extra points if I can give them belly rubs.”

En dan is het volgende bericht van eoddc5 ook nog wel een mooie…

“I’m sick of passing 100s of homeless dogs all day long, and not being able to do anything with them,” they said. “They just run away, like I’m some scary monster. I’m not; I’m a Division Agent and here to save the world. And those pups are part of that world. “It would be SO amazing and MUCH MORE IMMERSIVE if we could earn their trust, give them food supplies, pet them.

“I’m not asking to have a dog companion whatsoever, that’s not within this game. But you have 100s of small commendation tasks to take care of, I’m sure we can add one for being kind to the dogs.”

Wat bijdraagt aan de wens van spelers om in-game honden te kunnen aaien is het Twitter account ‘Can You Pet the Dog?’.
