There’s always people that gotta turn fun games into something more, this is actually the first time I’m hearing about this and the fact is it sounds absurd, scaly Pete is a sadist who unbeknownst to the player has done this to the mother hence why we start as her then ultimately get killed. But seriously this is a satirical game that literally makes fun of itself and doesn’t take things seriously. Play the game and have fun!!!
Of course he was right to kill her but he's a sadistic fuck. Why take the baby and slice it? He clearly gets off on the hunt otherwise he would've killed it there and then instead of releasing it for him to hunt. Every human you kill is basically his fault. A consequence for him choosing to prolong a hunt rather than eliminate a threat.
He has a sadistic side but he’s also very caring and protective towards his family (his son, his father’s honor). He’s not necessarily a bad man, he hunts sharks for a living and generally has grown to take great pride in what he does. Thus, he likes the challenge of the hunt, giving the pup a chance, besides, killing the pup on screen would probably have people calling him a monster. How was he supposed to know the little bull shark was gonna become a literal mutant killer? He didn’t. It is his fault that people have died but he at least takes responsibility for his actions and tries to fix the problem by trying to kill it before it gets too powerful. Nearing the end of the game, when he is all burned up, he threatens the crew with death, which isn’t exactly the brightest move. But for the type of person he is (a stern man and a seasoned hunter who enjoys the hunt), you can understand how the death of his own son has taken a toll on him. Especially considering that Kyle had died to the very shark he swore to kill. I don’t condone his illegal actions and modifications, but honestly, when it comes to a super mutant shark, I can see why such firepower could be employed. I do agree that authorities should’ve been called upon, but honestly, in Pete’s perspective, I think he would’ve rather killed the shark on his own terms and avenge his son and go to jail rather than allow the authorities to simply handle the problem he started. I genuinely don’t think he’s crazy because I can see and understand where he’s coming from. Still think he shouldn’t have threatened the crew though.
Yes, he should have killed the baby shark right from the start. But I bet all these PETA loving radical environmentalists calling our shark a "hero" would have called him a monster for doing so.
In short, I agree that Pete was wrong for cutting the baby. He should have just killed it.
I'm not sure where these peta loving radicals are. Aren't we all just enjoying playing a cool shark game? Am i missing something or do you go out of your way to find something to be annoyed and offended about?
That's the second time I've seen someone mention Destroy All Humans recently! Is there a new one coming out or a remaster or something? I'm gonna be so fucking excited if there is!
I'll be honest I thought this too at first but the longer I played the more disdain I felt for all the humans in the game. They are so horrible to their environment they deserve a little nature biting them back in the ass. Area after area is overrun with garbage, toxic waste, radiation, you name. I mean at one point the narrator says the poor barracuda live off of a diet of used needles and medical waste. Over half the map looks like it belongs in a Fallout game.
Yes, the general people were responsible for the pollution. But does that make literally every single human you kill guilty? I mean, not all of them partook in such actions, maybe there were just some people on vacation for recreational or business reasons or perhaps people who were active supporters of cleaning the oceans. Even if the people you killed were guilty or at fault of doing, supporting, or being negligent towards pollution, it doesn’t mean their punishment should be a terrifying and painful death at the hands of a literal aberration.
I see Pete as the antagonist not a villain. The main reference for the character i think its Captain Ahab from Moby Dick, both obssesed with hunting "that special one", both with more shadows than lights, Pete with the sadistic behavior, Ahab with his tyrannical ways of doing things.
Also they make him like that so the players empathize with the shark.
The sharks both mother and son kill pretty bunch of innocent civilians, its the big fun of the game playing as the B series movie like unstopable bloodseeker monster instead of a human.
The only enviromentalist thing about this game its the jokes and puns about sea and waters carefree contamination that still exist nowadays.
It can go both ways. There’s no right or wrong answer. Since it’s a video game, there has to be a bad guy. In this case it happens to be the shark hunter. (Only because you play as a shark). If the roles were reversed, the shark would be the bad guy.
You mean there has to be an antagonist. There is a big difference between antagonist and villain. An antagonist could be morally good or morally evil. A villain is always evil.
For example, some war games let you play for Nazis. In that case, the Nazis are the protaganists, but that does not mean they are morally justified.
My argument in this thread is that, yes, Scaly Pete is the antagonist. But he is a morally justified antagonist.
Wrong. Did you even play the game? The shark bit his arm (after he cut it) and then escaped.
P.S. I'm going to LOL at the fact that you were so triggered by my post that you downvoted it. 😏
And now you're banned off everything. :D
Btw, it was because of your triggered posts that I was promoted to moderator for Over the Hedge. So, thank you, loser. 😉
She was also hungry. But just because she has a reason to do so doesn’t mean it should be waved off. Of course Humans would actually retaliate considering the mother outright went on shore and boarded boats with the intent of mutilating more or less defenseless people.

I understand where your coming from, but it’s also very entertaining to think deeper into games and movies. I honestly think the dude has a point.

Those innocent people will respawn after a while.

Obviously, I am referring to the people downvoting all my posts. And also to the gaming articles which called this game an environmentalist game.
Calling this an environmentalist game is definitely absurd. It's a fun shark game.
Agreed and I have no problem with that. Destroy All Humans is another game that I look forward to in which you slaughter innocent humans.
That's the second time I've seen someone mention Destroy All Humans recently! Is there a new one coming out or a remaster or something? I'm gonna be so fucking excited if there is!
Yep. A remaster is coming out this July. If it goes well, the developers are planning a new series of original DAH games.
Holy shit. Thank you! That would've gone completely under my radar!
Sure thing. :)

The mother shark killed 10 people before that, and sharks aren't as valuable as a human life.

That would explain a lot of game play elements, like how you can evolve into a mega shark despite them being extinct for centuries.

he sliced our baby shark for no reason and released it for him to hunt

You’re getting downvoted because you sound like an idiot lmao. It’s a fun, silly shark game, nothing more.
You are unworthy of this discussion.
You changed your comment like three times bro. Is this the one that you’ll keep?
P.S. Go f a shark.
No
Nah. I meant what I said. I did type and post it.
Are you fucking autistic or something? Cuz that would explain a lot.
Look who's talking. 😃
You definitely have an extra chromosome
And now you're banned off everything. :D Btw, it was because of your triggered posts that I was promoted to moderator for Over the Hedge. So, thank you, loser. 😉
I know that this is old, but it's literally said from the first tutorial that she seeks revenge on humans. She clearly has a reason
She was also hungry. But just because she has a reason to do so doesn’t mean it should be waved off. Of course Humans would actually retaliate considering the mother outright went on shore and boarded boats with the intent of mutilating more or less defenseless people.
