Probably never. PETA thrives on marketing and Farcry is not nearly a mainstream enough title to draw in the publicity to make it worth their time. Also, the focus of their activism is about domestication and farming of animals...they're not really that concerned with hunting for sustenance ...or wild animals in general.

Uh, FarCry 3 places the animal-slaughter in a survival setting, and their skins are used to further that survival.

So, I'm not sure they will. 'Cause it's kind of a sensible situation in which to kill animals. That said, PeTA is not a sensible organization. So who knows.

Considering also how the animals in Far Cry III are frequently MORE dangerous than a ballistic-proof, steel-clad psycho with a flamethrower and 5 of his buddies... I'll say PETA probably like Far Cry III.

I think I died more to tigers in that game than I died falling 7 feet. I mean seriously, that game was almost as bad as War Z when it came to the player taking damage from falling.

Does PETA even do anything useful anymore? It seems to me all they do is whine and complain, much like the EPA.

OT

Probably
Pretty sure that unless you count euthanizing animals, whining a lot and diverting money that could actually be used by legitimate groups that genuinely give a shit about animals and not just attention (i.e. Humane Society) that PETA has never done anything that could reasonably be considered "useful". They're a bunch of crazies.

So in Far Cry 3 you can kill Pigs, Sharks, Snakes, Dogs, Tigers, Alligators, Komodo Dragons, Leopards, Goats, Dingos, Deer, Buffalo (an endangered species) and Bears, and you can do it with assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, .50 caliber machinguns (good for the sharks) and flame throwers, and you do it all so that you can get their skin...how long until PETA fucking explodes?
Alligators? Nope, Saltwater Crocodiles. Alligators can only be found in North America and China and mainly inhabit fresh water whereas crocodiles are comfortable in both fresh and saltwater. Salties are also the biggest and most dangerous of their kind and have a triangle-shaped head while an alligator's is U shaped.

I've got a great idea. There's this obnoxious organization that distracts from real animal cruelty cases in its quest to grab as much attention as it can for absurd things. Let's give them more attention when it's completely unjustified. Damn, it feels good to imagine everyone hates us.
Why is it I get the feeling that you're angry?

PETA gave BattleField 3 crap about killing rats but not anything towards Dishonored.

I guess you just have to give them time for them to notice things.

i do not think they will i love far cry but i do not think it is as big a name in the media like mario or pokemon is so they will not get as much publicity and that is what peta wants in the end well that and a lot of cash

Never?

Last I checked, they didn't care about imaginary animals on a computer screen.

On the subject, I am surprised they haven't gone at any RPG where you kill animals. And those have been around for a long time. Although, as Thuggych pointed out, Far Cry 3 is not mainstream enough. Makes perfect sense given how they attacked Mario, Pokemon and Battlefield.

I'm surprised some "family values" group hasn't ran onto the scene yet. Seeing as how people flipped their shit over Mass Effect, I would think they'd be really losing it with Far Cry 3.

^ True that, where is the big song and dance controversy over the whole sex scene with Citra?

I practice RPG and explosive .50 cal sniper rifle hunting.
The animals don't feel pain, so it's the most humane way to do it.
Coincidentally, it's also the most fun.

But it's definitively about killing them humanely. NOT about seeing their little pixelated corpse fly in different description to the sound of my laughter.

Wait, but the Mario thing didn't even make sense, since Mario was just wearing a costume[footnote]I think. Probably.[/footnote], and thus no fictional animals were harmed. A better example would be Pokemon, seeing as it's WAY more obvious, and they were still just about the last people on Earth to figure it out.

But as far as Far Cry 3 goes, I think the effort it would take them to find out about the "skinning animals" aspect of the game[footnote]I.e., doing some research into the game beyond looking at the front cover[/footnote] will turn out to be too much for PETA, and they'll let it slide. And then make a flash game parody of it 15 years from now.

I'm thinking...."Far CRY", with a picture of some crying animals off to the side.

Well, they just went after pokemon, i don't know, 30 years after the first one came out?

So probably around 2043. These guys aren't they quickest.

If they haven't already, give them a decade or so. Mario didn't first don the Tanooki suit in 2012 after all.

PETA kill animals themselves, euthanasia style. So they are a bit hypocritical in their ways if you ask me.

SAVE THE ANIMALS!!!! (whispers) apart from those we can't look after, then we euthanise those...

When you think about it, those same family values groups are often conservative groups, which often consist of people who support the second amendment in the USA. Which in turn means that a lot of them shoot and hunt for sport. So if they got involved it would be a bit hypocritical, I think that the best shot those groups have is this.

The ending where you stay with Cidra and slit the throats of your friends, then proceed to fuck Cidra who encouraged you to kill them. Also the multiple times you go on a trip thanks to some poisonous/hallucinogenic shit
