YES BECAUSE NOW THAT I'VE SEEN A GAME CHARACTER DO IT, I'M GOING TO PURCHASE A PIRATE SHIP AND GO STAB WHALES TO DEATH.

"Sail me closer! I want to hit it with my sword!" said Captain Edward Kenway.

Just like how MW2 had that scene where you shot up an airport so I went out and learned russian, and got some guys and a few light machine guns and did it.

Fuck you Peta..

>Game series centered around murdering other human beings
>Peta remains silent
>whaling mentioned
>OMG GUISE YOU'RE MONSTERS PROTECT THE WHALES
and they wonder why no one takes them seriously

I'm sorry, I'm to busy hunting and skinning wild animals for a bigger wallet.

whaling in video games bad? no way.

Ubisoft should fuck with PETA after claiming this. Make someone in your crew yell out, "Hope none of those animal lovers see this!"

*Ring* Hello, you've reached the Assassins Brotherhood hotline, to complain about a blight on the earth, press 1. To custom order your own thick hoodie, press 2. If we have accidentally killed one of your loved ones in the process of cleansing the earth of evil, press 3 to receive a complementary muffin basket upon your faxing of their death certificate.

You have pressed "One". We are transferring your call to an available representative of the Brotherhood

"Alright, so who do you want whacked...Okay, FINE, who do you want cleansed in the purifying flames of justice? PETA? Ymean those guys who badmouthed Pokemon on facebook? Alright, who do you want de-...All of them...Huh, well...I'll send it on up to my supervisors, see if we can't get something done in that department.

...Hey, do you want the job done RIGHT, or do you want it done fast? If you want the last one, call the friggin Dark Brotherhood, they've got this crazy douche with a pair of axes and this horned helmet running around Alaska or some shit."

Just like how everyone became city planners after the release of Sim City... you know, that thing, that totally happened, right?

Sooooo correct me if I'm wrong: we can still "learn to be violent" against other humans but killing whales is just going to far...

How many people that will buy this $60 game and think "I could do this in real life!" and go out, buy a boat, hire a crew, and get whaling equipment.

...and in other news, many people around the world have suddenly started hunting whales for no apparent reason.

FUCKA YOOOU WHRAAAALE

PETA youthenizes (kills) more animals than they save with the excuse that they are saving them from a violent life.

Aside from the fact that PETA is nonsensical and was founded by a deeply deluded individual, let's look at the logic in this.
*ahem*
>Little timmy plays AC4
>timmy enjoys, more than any other aspect of the game, whaling
>timmy pools from his piggy bank the funds necessary to take a suitable vessel out to parts of the ocean known to have whales, all of which he can do due to it being common knowledge
>timmy then, with his extensive whaling skill learned from playing AC4, slaughter dozens of entire whale families that day alone
>timmy brings his friend johnny and they both contribute to the ultimate extinction of whales, allowing krill to overpopulate, evolve and kill dolphins
>PETA warned you.

FJ simply must play this.

This was the only thing that came to mind

Anyone else feel all these new games are being rushed?

I mean really, games don't have to come out within a year of their prequel.

AC 1 and AC 2 had a 2 year break and it was a huge success.
