I'm not a venuzuelan but I am a gamer. I care not about where this game is based, safe in the disbelief that its just a location to feed the games story, and in no way means that everything in that location in real life is bad or good. If anyone wants to know the real situation on life in Venezuela, access to the net will provide what you seek.

I'm a U.K gamer and games have been set in my country before, but this in no way means I'm a gun totting criminal or sword wielding knight of justice. Democracy means we can create works like Mercs WIF (if its made here or not), to enjoy and sell without fear of the powers that be.

Suspension of disbelief.....remember these words, people.

Hi, I think you might have missed the irony that was laced throughout the piece. It looks as if you've also missed the bit where we say, "SPOnG baggsies being Hugo". It also looks as if you've missed our reference to the story about the outcry in Venezuela - we were one of the only gaming sites on the Web to run this story.

Referring to the Chilean dictator as "lovely General Augusto Pinochet" was also an indication of irony.

Either you missed it or we were just to smart-arsed about the irony - re-reading it, I can see why you might be upset - for which I apologise.

I'd also be interested to hear more feedback from your country regarding the game.

Cheers

Tim Smith

You're seriously telling EDGAROS90 to find out the real situation in his own country by accessing the net, rather than reading what he says? Priceless... absolute genius!

I am in total disbelief, I can't suspend it any higher than it already is.
