The hate towards cats in this game is horrible

[CyberKiller]

I just played this on Xbox (using Game Pass) and I deleted the game after shooting the 2nd cat figurine. The narrator is just disgusting with the hate comments about cats.

Shame on you game devs! "It's very easy to hurt a cat, but there's no honour in this." to quote a classic.

I must respectfully disagree. If the game were set in today's age of political correctness, then yes...you'd be correct. But during the Great Depression people were salty about most aspects of life. Many who were destitute turned to treasure hunting out of desperation. About half way through the game's second map (Hidden Valley), Lady Winston informs the Brigade that even the department's own coffers are running fearfully light.

Regarding the cat statues, remember that Seteki (the game's main antagonist) and her undead represent an evil force from Egyptian mythology. Cats were seen as powerful familiars. By destroying the statues, you are further breaking the bond Seteki holds over the world. If you shoot all 6 cat statues on a given map, a large treasure room opens at the end of the map, and you can collect its rewards. The statues also act as collectibles, contributing to your Steam achievement list.

Well the statues as collectibles would be more or less fine, but the narrator comments are what triggers me. I'm a cat lover, and in todays age, with cats all over the internet, surely there are more people like me.

As for the setting, I know it's pulp, and it's one of my favorite settings. That however doesn't stop me from disliking all the racism, sexism and other intolerant behavior that is associated with this particular historical fiction.

Modern pulp-style stories however are another thing, and should adhere to modern standards. The game here partially does this, by adding two female characters (where in historical pulp stories, the ladies would only be there for rescuing and gazing at the male heroes muscles).

The bottom line is, the narrator hates cats, so I hate the narrator. (A real pity, cause I liked the style of the story.)

my god what a drama , like cats? help some animal ongs instead of crying in a fiction videogame.

I love cats, but I just took it as a funny joke. The narrator is just really not a cat person :D
I took it as we're supposed to laugh at the narrator because he so comically strongly dislike cats.
The game is actually making fun of the narrator here.
I actually thought it was pretty funny, the voice actor did a good job as the narrator I think.
Though it would be pretty funny if in a potential expansion you shoot dog statues and it turns out the narrator hates dogs, as he recently got a cat and now loves them :P

That would be a twist indeed ;-)

Op luvs the pu$$¥ to much

[Carmac]

Turn off the narrator comment and he never mentions his cat hate again, only plot related parts will be mentioned still. Also, one dlc campaign journal page suggests they're actually some cat warrior spirits whom you actually release when shooting the statues.

Wow, people get way too easily offended nowadays.

[Orumus]

It's a joke and it's funny. Get the stick out of your a#$ and learn to laugh.

As someone who is allergic to cats ( red rash, watering eyes, runny nose, and coughing) I have no problem with destroying cat statues.

Also, since cats were big in ancient Egypt it makes more sense to destroy cat statues than dog statues.

Already there - several times each year I give donations to Greenpeace and WWF (and other less known NGOs). I don't like to brag about this, but since you mention it...

Anyway, I don't have anything else to say in this topic. Initially I was hoping this message would reach the devs, but none of them reacted.

Because it's a troll post so of course it didn't reach the devs

Ironically, we're about to reach a record with it!
