How long until PETA goes after Far Cry 3?

Probably never.
Although, I AM surprised how little controversy Far Cry 3 sparked up in general. Because, and let's be reasonable, FOX news threw a fucking fit when ME has lesbians and FC3 has a gay, older, sadistic rapist who does all sorts of nasty things to your ladies man friend and you have sex with tattoo covered women while high as a fucking kite. Hmm, if TV does find out about this then PETA will be the least of Ubisoft's worries...

Yeah, that's the thing about controversy about video games. The thing that is controversial stuff has to be spelt out in big bold letters in advertisements, otherwise the people who criticize it won't notice because these are the kind of people that wouldn't know how to open a console, let alone play a game. It's sad really, all this hate dedicated towards video games and they don't know anything about it, they just go after big obvious choices.Lt._nefarious said:

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 stand corrected sir. And thank you for showing me that I apparently still had some faith in humanity left to lose.
Not sure if I do anymore after seeing this.
Well, as we often say about PETA, no doubt some shit is already in the pipeline. They'll be working on something hilarious as we speak. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to it.
Can you imagine having a group of people dedicated to humiliating themselves for your enjoyment? I don't even have to pay them a cent! Sometimes, there is so much beauty in the world...

I agree with the fact PETA are slow and stupid it took nearly 20 years before they protested pokemon, no way they will notice FarCry 3.

Yeah, someone beat you to the punch in correcting me. I foolishly assumed they had some trace of sanity. I'll never make that mistake again.
The last few PETA attacks on Pokemon and Mario were only shock stunts, That and as bad as Far Cry 3 might be, can you honestly say it has as much exposure in the public mindset as Mario and Pokemon?
Well they'd have to wait in line until after amnesty international go after all the violence in just about every game ever made
I'd say, if we can judge anything by the attacks against pokemon and mario's tanuki suit have been fairly recent... maybe another 12-15 years?
Weird how many are bothered by this. PETA are a marketing and campaigning organisation that advocate better treatment of animals, it's not particularly ridiculous that they would use popular media to do this (nor would it be particularly effective, but that wouldn't be a first for a marketing company).
