[quote]Animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has called the inclusion of whaling in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag “disgraceful”.[/quote] [url]http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/wiiu/news/1023971.20130305.PETA-calls-whaling-in-AC-IV-disgraceful/?utm_source=lsv&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Subscriber%23129572&utm_campaign=GPNZ%20Newsletter%202013-03-05[/url]
PETA is dumb.
Oh fuck off. It's an important part of human history being portrayed in a historical game.
Pixels have feelings too!
lol but what about real whales instead of imaginary ones
But it's a history game. This is like calling Django unchained disgraceful for having lots of racist themes
Why can't PETA pick on actual whalers instead of fucking 3D models of people in a video game killing 3D models of whales... in a video game. Cry over that, not the damn pixelated animals. That would be way more acceptable. And it's a historical fact. Why would you complain over putting historical fact in a game? Oh, Right. This is PETA we're talking about here. Edit: Wait a sec. I've never even played an Assassin's Creed game, isn't the whole thing in a virtual world anyways?? (Which would make this much more stupid because it's not-real whales in a not-real world within a not-real world. Metawhales.) Someone correct me please if possible.
Hey guys, here's a topical joke for you. How many PETA members does it take to change a light bulb? [sp]As many as you want, PETA can't change anything.[/sp]

Stabbing a dude's guts out? A-okay. But as soon as you touch those fucking whales we're revving up the complaints.
Who cares what PETA thinks, they weren't around in that era.

Why don't you try and help with the real whaling issue PETA, you know the one Seashepards got called pirates for harrasing.
peta lost all credibility since the beginning of.time

But I have never actually seen them [I]do[/I] anything (other than complaining which dpes fuck all.) [editline]5th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=DesumThePanda;39806057]peta lost all credibility since the beginning of.time[/QUOTE] Did they ever have any?
but killing people in the game is obviously okay
But they said nothing of Connor being pretty much a walking woodland critter genocide.
That's what PETA do, promote an ideology in soccer mom fashion but it may even help them to let people see certain details of what happens during whale hunting. I can't hate peta for what their organisation represents and the actual good side that comes out of it.
PETA is on to something, you know. If playing shooters turns kids into mass murders, then killing whales in games must turn people into cat strangling psychos.
how about real fucking whaling lets focus on real whaling instead of video game whaling
[QUOTE=J!NX;39805922]lol but what about real whales instead of imaginary ones[/QUOTE] Too much work. I mean they would actually have to do something. Now they can just whine and complain and be done with it. It's more their style.
They still exist? All that nothing they do I thought would be damaging to the company.
I'm disgraced that this is actually a numbered sequel, weren't the AC games supposed to end after the third one? [B]EDIT: [/B]Seriously how is AC:IV supposed to be a sequel? ACIII has the ability to captain a ship, wouldn't this be more DLC content than anything?
I dont understand, it's not like people will kill the whales in game and start their own whale hunting party.
lol they cried about stabbing a rat in BF3.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;39806553]how does being able to captain a ship in 3 make this a dlc i guess brotherhood and revelations are dlcs because they all still have chain combos and killing[/QUOTE] Ok, maybe DLC was the wrong term, I was more trying to say that it shouldn't be an entirely new game in the way that Brotherhood and Revelations weren't new games but rather expansions onto the stories of the games. Seriously, ACIII just came out less than six months ago and they already want to hype up the sequel, I mean I can't say ubisoft doing that is surprising, I just don't like seeing such a powerful series getting milked this way.
[QUOTE=Sunday_Roast;39806187]But they said nothing of Connor being pretty much a walking woodland critter genocide.[/QUOTE] I could've sworn someone did.
Everyone in the world calls PETA "disgraceful"
You can whale in AC4? Thanks for informing me PETA. Instant purchase!
Man idk about you but I hate real life whaling. In game though all bets are off. Ill hunt the shit out of some whales.
