doomey wrote:NO. Lets not. I understand the humour in Overlord, and realise that "animal cruelty" existed in the first game. Please do not get me wrong, I am not a tree loving elf as depicted in the game. However I do have to wonder at Codies logic at allowing the slaughter of seal pup's in this game, maybe they did it to get some press? To cause a ripple of controversy among the gaming and media consortium? I personally think it is a bad move, I think Codies dropped the ball here, depiction of a protective species in a video game is not going to get them brownie points any time soon, and please do not think this is a hate post against the game, I love Evil pikmin any day of the week, I just feel that maybe they pushed the boundaries of taste to far here. Killing yetis is fine, s they are a "mythical" creature, but bay Seals , and Walrus (coo ka choo) if your playing along at home, i wrestling with the WWF too much In my opinion. However I must point out that I am not a nature loving person, or a tree hugging hippy (respect to Cartman) I can not pass a field without licking a cow because of my hunger for steak..yum. I just feel that one of England's most Legendary game coders, may have stepped too far with this.

Thats the beauty of a video game, YOU HAVE A CHOICE!!!First of all, I believe we all have a right to post an opinion on these forum's regardless of what you think or you do not. Second, I didnt see anybody say they didnt like it....and we all realize it's a game and I said so in my post. I simply said that imo it was "bad taste". Lastly I think most of us here are bright enough to understand we have a choice....in fact I am buying this game....I didnt say I was losing sleep over clubbing seals, I said its bad taste and PETA is going to have a cow, if you would have bothered to read...or well maybe not even if had of bothered you would not just acted like a complete idiot. In closing, using caps on your little stfu there is comical, if you even had any sort of valid point it would have went right out the window anyway. Have a nice day ahole.

PETA doesnt mind it becuse you are an "Evil" character that does bad things...thus saying clubbing seals is evil. Its a game...I AM a nature lover and animal lover and I was cracking up over the seal clubbing.

Codies know they are going to get some flack for it, so it was brave putting it in, but sadly as brave as it is, I do not think it was "smart".

UseYourIlusion wrote:Because killing seals is so much worse than killing sheep?I fail to follow the logic that killing an endangered species in game is far worse than killing a non-endangered one. It's animal cruelty either way. It's not something that should be encouraged. But I'd hardly count the game as doing so, you're an evil overlord, yes you murder innocents, but it's never really passed off as "you should go out and do this now kiddies", or at least it wasn't in the first, and I doubt it will be now.
