Gaming for the Animals [EVENT HAS CONCLUDED]

[Cassylvania 5,777]

I guess my sixth game is Fe. I probably need to defend this one since it's a bit obscure.

 

So, in Fe, you play as some fox-like creature and you defend your forest friends from evil shadow monsters.

 

OK, that was easier than I thought. Chalk up another for the panda!

So, had two votes for Arctic Fox as I have completed Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (Well, Daxter turns into an ottsel, so definitely fits the animal category) and Baboon! (the baboon is the main character).

 

I'm also in doubt if I can use Energy Balance , as one of the characters in the cutscenes who is aboard the ship is some kind of robotic cat, but in the game we don't actually play nothing in a way that it participates. If it counts, add a vote to the fox.

Does the cat play any significance to the plot? If not, then this won't count.

Well, is one of the three (if you count the player as one) characters. But not sure if i can say it is actually significant. Let's choose to don't count it.

So, it's been a while since I claimed a game for this event, because I've been pretty sick in between and kinda forgot that I hadn't claimed Stray yet, so now it'll be that plus Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I'm sure everyone knows what both of them are about 😀

 

As for where to put my vote, I guess I just don't have nearly enough time to complete games to really make a difference for my actual pick, which was the African Rhino Calf... so, I'll be switching gears here and putting my votes into something where they do have an impact, which will be the Red Panda. For one because they can use all the help they can get, but also they're just simply stinking cute 😝

Would Hanpan from Wild Arms count? He's a mouse-like creature, a companion to one of the main characters. Often used as a tool to pick up items or traverse the environment but also has quite a lot of dialogue in the story. More in him HERE . 

 

If it counts then my vote for this one goes to the Jerboa. 

 

Edit: just saw the new rule about voting only for animals that already have a vote. So the vote goes to the Great White Shark instead.

6. game completed: Azur Lane: Crosswave. In this game you play as a bunch of WW2 battleships in the form of anime girls. Normaly this wouldn`t be a game for this event, but most of the girls from the sakura empire (one of the four main nations and home to the 2 main protagonists) have animal features (rabbit, tanuki, cat and fox ears and tails) and for the platinum you must marry all the girls, so it takes the animal loving on a whole new level. My vote goes to the capybara this time.

Here is a example of what the girls look like: The Aircraft Carrier Akagi

My 7th vote goes to green turtle.🐢

[Yuber6969 5,013]

Finished Digimon Survive. Another vote for the honeybee.

Hello again friends for one last time, because I've done game number 10 and I saved the best for last, (and by saved, I mean played what ever I felt like and realised it worked for this too,) it's Batman Arkham Asylum (PS3). A game that has been in my backlog for literally 10 years because of that one missable trophy at the very end of the game.) Animals in question... Bats, Crocs, Crows, and The Riddler.

 

It's my least favourite out of the 4 major games in the franchise, mostly because I thought the open world suited the games very well, they also handled some more delicate subjects better, to be honest I wasn't sure why I didn't expect to be facing enemies who's only motive was "Being a Lunatic" in an asylum, but it sure was a thing that's in the game. It's still a very good game who's scope feels a little more manageable compared to the other games. 

 

 

Red Pandas.... Forgive me I can no longer fight for you.... *breakingthegreen fades from existence*

My Final game Is tunche where animal familiars are weapons and the merchant is fourth wall breaking llama named leo. My vote Is for the Capybara, hopefully a Latin animal can still win this!

[Dzware 1,370]

Finished 2 more games with animals since my last update.

Entwined has you play as two birds simultaneously who at the end of the level fuse into a dragon, and Brawlout has a cast of playable characters who include an ape, frog, shark, chameleon and multiple birds.

 

My votes will go for the green turtle, just to spicy things up a bit near the top.

Not really sure if my latest plat would count...

 

 

It's not exactly animal heavy... but ...  

 

• the game features a lot of movie clips that you joke about, and a fair number of them involve or are entered around animals...
• One of the playable character avatars is a Gecko, and one is a dinosaur...
• The unofficial "Mascot" of the game is a crocodile...

 

 

...so 

 

 

I leave it up to @MissShake I guess  😂-  but if it is eligable, then my vote goes once again to my Hedgehog friends!

I'll count it since there's two playable animal avatars and a mascot

[Cassylvania 5,777]

I'd do anything for animals. Even play Bubsy: Paws on Fire...

 

Another vote for Team Panda...but at what cost?

On this day I must question your sanity.

[DoctorDrPepper 1,891]

My final game is Reverie. A love letter to old school Zelda that takes place on New Zealand. Your pet dog is involved and in several trophies, including taking him for a walk on the beach. You also have to find and talk to some kiwi's.

 

Last vote for Capybara.

 

Guess i'm done with this event. Thanks.

Game # 8 Complete Cat Quest

Fastest Completion: 3 hours 35 minutes

50th Fastest: 6 hours 15 minutes

My 8th vote for green turtle. This is going to be a very close race to the end isn't it? Best of luck to all.

It definitely is! I am glad that it's not a complete landslide, that wouldn't have been much fun for the rankings imo

[Cassylvania 5,777]

So, uh... I played Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA. The game takes place on an island after you get shipwrecked. There are two birds (a parrot and shoebill) and some hamster-like things called pikkards that join your crew of castaways. You have to rescue the pikkards and do quests for the birds, such as finding them food, so I'm going to say it counts for the event.

 

One more for Team Panda... I'm running out of steam...

[MissShake 3,504]

Important update, please read!

 

Completely random, but it looks like I'm going to be pretty busy from Saturday to Wednesday, so my updates are gonna be a bit inconsistent in this time frame. Keep playing them games, I'm so happy to see how close this race is!

[MissShake 3,504]

Important update, please read!

 

Never mind! The person I was going away with tested positive for Covid, so I guess I'll be here to edit any progress that comes in.

[DrBloodmoney 25,158]

Another one for the Hedgehogs!

 

 

Need I go into an explanation of how animals feature in the game? 😂

 

[Cassylvania 5,777]

Kena: Bridge of Spirits...complete...

 

Not sure what the Rot are supposed to be, but they're small, cute, furry, and the main collectible in the game!

 

Nine! Nine votes for Team Panda, ah ah ah!

[Cassylvania 5,777]

And with my final breath... Tails of Iron complete. You play as a rat, in a village full of rats, fighting back against the evil Frog Clan.

 

The rest...is up to you, panda fighters...
