Chicken is the most numerous and useful bird in the world. Gives a person meat, eggs and feathers. And so, I decided to make a fan material about this beautiful phtha, and as a result I am now tormented by one question. Since when do people hate chicken?

Chicken, like objects of violence.

The most famous chicken in video games live on the cout-strike series maps. They do not interfere with anyone and the player will not receive any bonuses for their heads, but still from the round to the round they become concomitant damage in the confrontation of terrorists and special forces.

Chicken first appeared in Counter-Strike Beta 6.5 along with the card cs_italy. Its creator thus wanted to stand out so that his work would fall into the game. And so it happened, and in honor of those first chicken in Global Offensive and two carcasses in the market hang.

But few people know that initially their models and sounds were imported from the fashion for Quake 2 called Catch The Chicken, where the player needed to survive as long as possible, keeping chicken instead of weapons.

In 2020, only 12,000 chickens were killed at the CSGO scene only, while in general, the number of killed Ptahs of negligent players exceeds millions, if not billions. And to the question "why?»There is only one answer:

Yes, chicken die cheerfully. Not in life, of course, this is actually a heartbreaking spectacle, I’m only talking about video games. They make funny dying wheezes and only feathers remain from them. If a person did not like it subconsciously, then no one would make games by Chicken Invaders.

Based on the name, we can understand that the developers do not hide that this is only a clone of the Space Invaders game with the only difference, you need to shoot giant chicken. Who plays and why and even more so develops, the question is open, only in fact we have a franchise from several parts.

Although before pointing to others a finger, it is worth remembering how you and I shot defenseless PTS in Moorhhn without any remorse of conscience.

Despite the fact that the name is translated from German as a swamp chicken, and in English the game is called Crazy Chicken, there are disputes about what the bird is, because we all know – chicken do not fly, and these guys are very.

Although, as it doesn’t matter for me, let it be partridges, it is more important that we get mocking games over birds similar to roosters, we are accustomed literally with mother’s milk.

That nowadays only confirm the cock fights from Far Cry 6. This event is presented as a joke and a parody of fighting valves, but if you think about at least a little “what kind of horror is going on here?", It becomes no longer laughing.

I am the right to surprise that in 2021, when the culture of the abolition of everything and everything has already gained momentum, PETA was not able to force Ubisoft to remove this residential entertainment from the game, although attempts were made. But apparently time has not yet come for such changes.

One way or another, even in games with a lesser age rating, cartoon graphics and lack of blood, and more specifically in Sea of ​​Thieves, chicken can not only be killed, but also sold, locking them in cells for long hours of the seas of the slaves in the 17th century.

But perhaps the most difficult relations with chicken in the game industry by the developer Peter Mulieo. From the very first village of the original Fable and throughout all three parts, the main character can kick the chicken. This action does not carry any sense and profit.

Unless now the player will be prepared for a quest called "Kurobol". In this uncomplicated game, it is necessary to kick the chicken across the field, separated by cells with different conflicting points.

But not all. Also, the player can consume small living chickens. From this action, his character will quickly gain weight and become angrier.

Chicken, like ridicule objects.

As it turned out, in addition to bullying chicken, developers also love to build their jokes on them. Then add immortal ptach to Far Cry 4 forests.

Then they use chicken as a prize in Bowling in Yakuza 0.

They will say to accompany Robotsyp, protecting it from monsters for three quests that last more than an hour, as it was in World of Warcraft.

Well, some manage to create jokes about chicken without even setting themselves such a goal. In Skyrim, due to the curvature of the engine from Bethesda, these birds are literally perceived as people. They can burn you behind criminal divisions and can sag all the troops of the city on you if you decide to enjoy a fresh chicken.

But on Earth, unlike Nirn, the word rooster has the connotation of a person who does not enjoy authority in society. So in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, if the player selects the most easy complexity, he will be awarded a stylish cap in the form of a chicken, as if hinting at who the genius of Kodzima considers those who came not to play, but watch anime.

Also, with the help of chicken, https://kinghillscasino.uk/ the authors of Crysis Warhead decided to teach players, though not all, but those who received a copy of the game not quite legal. The pirate version was no different from the usual one, with the exception of the fact that the main character shot not bullets, but chicken. It looks impressive of course, but in fact it is not effective.

Although there is chicken weapons in licensed games. Ratchet & Clank has a gun that turns enemies into chicken.

The magic ring in Orcs Must Die also possess the same property! 2.

And a few cards in Hearthstone.

And one of the abilities of the necromancer in Diablo 3. When pumping, this perk reincarnates the player himself in a feathered kamikadze exploding in the crowd of the enemy.

Rockstar also decided to keep up and added to the updated version of GTA V Hidden activity, where Franklin, using a special cactus, can evaluate the chicken in the white world in its own skin.

But someone does not need cacti to become a ptakha, 60 of the Garguli feathers of the second witcher provided by the player in one of the quests in one of the quests.

Well, how in this video you can’t mention the Fable series again, but this time its third part. After all, a chicken costume also appears in one of the sides. It is needed in order to gather in the district of the lost Ptah and bring them back to the chicken coop.

But the jokes-developers did not stop there. The game also has a hippodrome, where, as it is already not difficult to guess the hound, the favorite birds of St. Petersburg Mili.

I think that it is possible to say with confidence that the chicken has become in some way the mascot of the series. The Troundwell trailer was generally dedicated to the dangerous journey of the chicken around the industrial city.

Kuritsy as the main characters.

And what, the game about this chicken could even get better than the resulting Fable III, because there were such examples. In Mort The Chicken for PS1, the plot is built on the abduction of chickens with cubic aliens. A rooster named Mort will have to save them from polygonal captivity. Gameplay, like the visual of the game is as poor and boring as possible.

But the game Billy Hatcher and the Giant EGG, released on GameCube, looks more interesting. The tie is about the same. Raven attack the chicken country and captivate its inhabitants in eggs, and the guy in the cock of the suit needs to save everyone, solving all sorts of puzzles and moving opponents with huge eggs.

But do not row all the roosters under one … rowing. The protagonist of Point-And-Click Games Chicken Police, far from a colorful shirt-party, but quite the opposite. Being an alcoholic detective in the world of anthropomorphic animals of the 40s, he will have to reveal his last business before retirement.

Well, the protagonist Hotline Miami does not need represent at all. To commit his battle, he puts on in various animals masks, but it was the original, cock -of -the -line mask, became the hallmark of the dilogy.

Chicken, like opponents.

The chicken was shot, kicked, deprived of freedom and pulled among themselves. It is not surprising that at some point their patience exhausted and they began to avenge. The first to rebuff were ptahs from the Legends of Zelda series. It may seem that they are unremarkable, until the player decides to attack them. Under the slogan “Brother for the brother is taken as a basis, they will clearly demonstrate who actually rules Hirul from playing the game.

Inspired by the experience of colleagues, here and there video game birds began to perform justice. And if in order to die from the chicken beak in the Resident Evil 5, you need to make you pretty much, then the island roosters of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey will become a real threat to a low -level player.

And again our permanent section: Fable. In the tricel, the chicken offended by the player decides to take revenge on reincarnating into dark entities, which, however, are still not able to give any rebuff.

Unlike the usual chicken from the GEARS of War 3, which turns after shelling into a golden -breathing gig of a child, which is better not to contact.

But the huge rooster from Sekiro does not pose such a threat.

Apparently, the size still matters the boss-vynnok from PUBG, which appeared in the primary use of the regime, a clear confirmation of this. Despite the fact that the team that killed the giant of the spewing fireball was declared the winner, it was much easier to just kill all opponents, because the rules of the royal battle remained the same.

Although the bosses-smuritsa is far from innovation, but even vice versa. Robotsyp from the original worm Jim appeared back in 1994.

The same idea was picked up in Donkey Kong Country Returns. Was it an Ommage for the New Classics or just a crisis of ideas is now difficult to say now.

It is worth clarifying that I did not specifically consider games where chicken are presented as a product of food and resources, since in these cases they perform the function of game mechanics, not an object.

Ultimately, we can say with confidence that the representation of chicken in video games is directly related to obsolete views of masculinity. Birds are represented by objects of “funny” violence, which is demonstrated as the norm of behavior.

They also act as triggers that undermine the conservative concepts of masculinity, which is presented in a negative way.

So, at first glance, the topic, in fact, revealed the next abscess of our society, or it will still be. Well, you, gamers, thanks for reading, take care of yourself and each other and see you.

The best comments

Plus, plus, plus. Cool and unusual blog theme 🙂

I would not agree that the chicken from CS is the most famous chicken. I personally have never stumbled upon their mention to this day. But Morchun and Fabel – yes, celebrities. Many people just heard about them, even if they did not play games.

There is also a spell in D&D that turn enemies into chicken. With proper luck, you can turn the most dangerous enemies (although it doesn’t seem to work on bosses) into a defenseless ko-ko. Or someone from the party may suddenly get into feathers and stop being benefited: 3

And in the Divinity Original Sin 2 there is a whole quest about the adoption of the chicken, the search for his real father and showdowing that Tsipa was not the same as it should be 🙂

So you are a good person))

Thanks for the Greeks)

Thank you. CS is one of the most popular games in the world, so these chicken actually knows the vast majority of gamers. Divinity is generally one of the few games where chicken is good. If you kill them, then the locals would live very upset.

The chicken is already standing on a par with a barrel and a boss-vertone

Well, maybe I’m just outside the mainstream, this often happens 🙂 It’s funny, I didn’t know about the killing of the chicken in divinity. I have never tried to kill them 🙂

I translate as I understand:

Life (I don’t know what it is for)

Thanks for putting a word about poor chickens. Well written.

Thank you, under the pretext of "Poor chickens, put a word," turned out to be a great story.

I did not understand anything

Together with the boxes

In Dota (I remember exactly when it was a card in WC3) – Witch doctor turned the enemy into chicken
