I thought video games made us all violent monsters? Meanwhile my wife laughs as I chase the fox because I didn’t get to pet it.
cybermat042
Inari is pleased !
juleawww
Like the cats in assassins creed origins :)
theguywiththevoice
And fucking Zelda, Breath of the Wild has no goddamned mechanic to pet the dozens of dogs and hundreds of foxes
xtav
Cerberus is also a very good boy.
ThrasherJKL
Hint hint Zelda franchise!!!
HillCountryRambler
Awesome! I helped!
Medievaljedi
If you use Brain Rot in Black Ops Coldwar Zombies, Plague Hounds and Hell Hounds can be turned and be petted. You get 100 points for petting
Bainin
honestly thats not a lot the game sold 5 million copy’s that means that most players just petted the fox once
SiegeWeapon
They are all good foxes, Brent-san.
iputthefiresout
I pet every single one I possibly could
GlenL
It always pissed me off when you'd do the shrine and then couldn't pet the fox after
VodkaReindeer
Gotta make sure you can't get loot by petting them
Skipadedodah
I wish I knew how many pets I gave in RDR2.
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
Am I the only one concerned my fucking around in a singleplayer game is recorded?
IWasACatAllAlong
This post is months old, so imagine the numbers now. ?
IceWeaselX
(sorry about PiP, just linking an existing imgur copy and the other has inflated margins + text)
CitizenPrime
This appeals to male gamer unrealistic fantasies
EmberRingtail
And it does nothing, but why wouldn't you pet the foxo
helyx
There's one side quest with lots of foxes. It's a tear-jerker for sure.
WeAreJustDustInTheWind
best part about Valheim, is my hog farm
xtav
BOAR LOVES YOU
GrilledSpamNCheeze
If like to know the dogs from Red Ded 2 as well...
Skipadedodah
I pet dogs like it gave me magic powers
AlmightyThor117
This would be more telling because you don’t have specific tasks to seek them out
christimueller643000
I always pet my dog and my tiger in far cry if the kill an enemy - good boys :)
hetriedtokillmewithaforklift
I ran(?) one over with my horse and felt so fucking bad
GrilledSpamNCheeze
In always do after hearing the yelp
outan
I have one rule in this game. Always pet your good boi when you come back to camp.

Hello boy!

Bwoy ?

Boah!
Clockworkdancerobot
Just showing our appreciation for what they did for us in Skyrim.
Feralkyn
That's a myth, and untrue sadly
Xaldyn
What would that be?
ThomasThundersword
hello from 3 years in the future. so, there was a rumor (that wasn’t true, except that it kind of was) that if you followed a fox in skyrim, it would lead you to treasure! in reality, no it didn’t, except that because of how their pathfinding worked, yes it did accidentally lead you to points of interest, which usually have treasure. see this article for details. https://www.eurogamer.net/skyrims-myth-of-the-treasure-fox-finally-explained @LuLuPennyAndOdium44 @Sauroctonus @DreamerMassacre
Sauroctonus
Yeah, I barely even remember seeing them.

Forget, forgot, have forgotten. Pet, petted, have pot ?
ThatsGrimKraken
Forpet, forpot, have forpotten
WarlockSniper
420 my dude.
geraltofriva
Bought this in November and still haven't played it, cause I'm stuck with the Division. Damn.
LindyShock
Cant recommend it high enough
ccman87
This, Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War are all must plays for PS4... supposedly Sony is making Horizon free in April (starting 4/19 I think)
geraltofriva
Bought HZD in January, guess what? Haven't played it yet. God of War was fucking awesome, I played that before Division. Boy!
mtnbunny
They are good foxes. ?
poscduke
14/10 would pet again
SwoopNasty
They're all good foxes GLORIA!!!
thebrettboy442
Funny because in Japanese culture foxes are terrifying creatures
katwa
Kitsune? Yes. But foxes are also beings of Inari, so a lot of good foxes. And not all Kitsune are bad.
Loadertron
Yeah Bront!
LeSethX
Yeah, Brant
Vacationdad
Their little noises they make when you pet them are so adorable, and then they jump up and down all happy like
AquaLeaderArchie
Plus the sound they make!!!
Vacationdad
Loved it every time I found a shrine, they were so happy!
xBenoitBallsx
Never seen a bad fox. Maybe Fox News.
Weedies617
I read Megan Fox was difficult to work with on the Transformers movie set
xBenoitBallsx
Nah she got canned for being anti Semitic online from what I remember
katwa
And I heard that that was because Micheal Bay was an ashole
th3grimlin
Never played it, but now I have to.
ArcheoSpectre
Same
Avrune
Wanna play it but no PS4 or TV. I hope it comes to PC, eventually.
kaneep
Horizon zero dawn made it to pc so chances are not 0
GlenL
Even without the fox petting sim side quest, it's a solid game
MrBodyMassageMachineGO
It is quite good, story is well written and executed as well. Just gets a little monotonous near the end. Not much mission variety.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
I think this is similar to the original Assassin's Creed. I think the next have will have a lot more variety to it.
GlenL
Yeah, a lot of "go here, do choppy choppy"
rhubarbarian
I think it's a little long for my taste? It's solid, but I'm a completionist and it does drag a bit. Love the story, characters, & setting.
SkogensKung
Eh, if Skyrim can get away with it, so can other games.
PhyshStycc
Cuz foxes are just that great
AusSpyder
Had one as a pet. They're cute but terrible pets. Always stink, they bite and in the dead of night they scream like a woman being murdered.
SexGolem
Am... am I a fox?
AusSpyder
Are you a huge pain in the arse and unpleasant to be around but also cute and have a lovely tail? Cause you might be.
aevalo
Did some one implement fox petting counter? How did they measure this? :D
DrTrivago
The game already has to track of the number of shrines visited for achievements so adding a counter to check if you petted the fox
DrTrivago
after you visited the shrine wouldn't take a lot.
dogestyle
if they get this kind of data, imagine what else they must be collecting. Is there a user agreement to accept before you play the game?
digitist
Okay, like what? My moms maiden name?
jrntn
I don't think there's been a commercial game without a user agreement to accept in all of gaming's history
Silent1fd
Could be an achievement
dogestyle
it's still data mining
LooseSeall
There’s a user agreement before basically any game. Also, collecting data to see what’s heavily utilized in the game is crucial to keeping a
LooseSeall
good, high quality gaming experience and not wasting time/money on shit no one cares about.
dogestyle
As long as it's anonymized; but I'm not sure many people are completely aware of how much is collected
Falkh12
Could also be used for the opposite. To find out what's rarely used e.g. because it's poorly implemented, and improve it.
