PlayStation is ‘poison’ to children, says Chavez

What game has you kill Chavez?

I think it was one of the Mercenaries games.

Mercenaries 2?

So in Mercenaries 2, was it specifically Chavez that they wanted you to kill? Politically, I like what he’s been doing, too bad the US gov. has been twisting everything. Anyway, instead of blaming the Playstation, you should blame whoever came up with the storyline for Mercs 2.

Bloody Xbot.

Hmm, imagine what he’d be like if he got on Xbox live.
With all those teenagers calling him a faggot.

That would not go down well.

See, proof that Playstation and Nintendo are not bought by chavz.

Nah it wasn’t Chavez in Mercs 2, but someone with his job. It was actually somewhat sympathetic to the Venezuelan situation to be honest.

“It was actually somewhat sympathetic to the Venezuelan situation”
To the people, not to Chavez.

seriously, sympathetic to Venezuelian situation? with Fiona saying “How’s life in war torn Venezuela” and the such?

at one point she even says how it’s funny that newspapers make mercs look noble or something.

Chavez is such crackpot and incredibly thin skinned, this has nothing to do with the reasons he gives rather the comment of him appearing in game as a dictator (I dont think he has but he believes it) is whats bothering him now he controls most of the media in Venezuela.

Games are another medium he cant control so those have to be shut down or supervised by him.

He is a Tropico 3 fan!

Shame it’s the last series of Celebrity Big Brother.
I reckon they should have tried to get him in.

dude i hate this mother f#$”% so badtly, i’m from venezuela and all hi does is talk about how much he hates US and he’s always saying that all the other countrys are a bunch of capitalist and all that crap and yeah he actually made a law wich says that all violent video games or toys are illegal so i guess i’m breaking the law in BIG and all bullsh$% started when Mercenaries 2 came out only because the game is set here, he talks about being in the game but i think nobody has the balls to tell him that it’s not actually him, that the character doesn’t even look him hahaha for me it’s funny cuz i knew that was suppose to be him

We are truly international. Big up the Venezuelan reader.

*salutes*

/thumbs up

Fight the good fight #16.

Let’s just hope he’s not in jail before the end of the day, eh?

First he slates Nintendo, and now he’s putting the boot into Playstation. Bloody Xbox fanboys.

“PlayStation is ‘poison’ to children, says Chavez”

Well, they shouldn’t be bloody eating them, then! I blame the parents…

Fight the power!
Go Venezuala!

So patetic, Im from Brazil!!

VIVA EL PLAYSTATION

Can’t wait to see what he says about 360 then!

Surely he’s going to find it the worst of the lot once he gets a gander at the subscription for Live, the overpriced HDDs and accessories and the general tone of the chat during an average game!

Most capitalistic of the lot plus the most active online service – he’s gonna hate it.

that’s it, Chavez is a communist xbot!

Hugo Chavez do you know who nimrod is? How about the anti christ? how about hilter?

Well dictorship are just as evil

The country is at war because of a military coup against the exploitation of the oil companies and their hired security forces with plans to nationalise the oil export and get a fair price for the oil. The game is littered with lots of american soldiers and mercenaries making jokes about their exploitation of the vz people. Sure the bussinessman turned president is a bit of a cunt but his cause in the game at least is seen as just. Once the oil trade has been destroyed and the military has back tracked to protecting the president America and China step in to try and seize the oil, which causes a unofficial war over the oil under the pretence of defending world interests.

Chavez > Obama

err, yeah I remember all that. maybe I misunderstood. by ‘sympathy’ do you mean the feeling of compassion or something?

It’s kind of like Killzone 2. The baddies in this case, the Venezuelan army and government are painted as bad guys buy the people you work for, who are actually the bad guys.

Double post.

I still don’t understand how that game is sympathetic to venezuelian people. you work for whatever guys ‘re hiring you. PLAV as well.

I mean that it paints Venezuelan people as victims of the world wide oil trade. They get next to no money from their countries resources and when they try to get a fair deal a war is ignited leading to their country being mostly obliterated.

The PLAV are a group of guerrilla fighters who want to take control of the country away from military rule, a noble cause sure, except they are bank rolled by china under the proviso that china gets dibs on the oil.

ah, that maybe. I just mean the mercs you control (meaning you) aren’t like that. so sympathetic to the country of Venezuela then? .

and that chick from PLAV was clearly figthing for the noble cause, it’s like the White Army and the intervents in russian civil war..

You’re character is only in it for money and personal revenge, they don’t really give much of a shit to what happens in the country.

I don’t really know much about the white army to be honest, I literally only know what happens in Mercs 2 as I played it pretty recently to completion. The chick from the PLAV as I said is fighting for the good fight, but she is china backed and seems to have little understanding of the implications of the countries stake in the world stage.

yeah, originally I thought you were talking about the player (character) experience. the “so sympathetic to the country of Venezuela then? ” part was about the game as a whole.

and I was talking about the 1917 revolution, many of the White Army were like the PLAV leader you described, it was just a good example for comparison.

yeah games are poisoning our kids- it´s not politicians that screw things up and leave a desperate youth behind without any perspective- of course not – videogames are to blame. they are also to blame for the death of michael jackson (because in some games people die), the swine flu (because of that left4dead infection) and angelina jolies recent pregnancy (because of all that crazy swingersex in fable2).

Chavez full idiot, not because i love Playstation, just because he idiot

ok some of you seems not to know that the story has absolutely nothing to do with Chavez, it’s just that because of the time the game is set people believe (or like to do so, as i do cuz it’s way funnier to kill Chavez at least for me) that the story is a mix between Chavez government and an ex-president whose name was picked up for the character and the names of other character also come from people of that government. So, while the people in the game and the story where taken from that ex-president government, the way the story develops and all that people fighting is more like whats been actually happening here from a few years ago but non of the PLAV and the pirates or other factions are real, and even though there is a lot of people against Chavez we don’t have like a leader or anything

That was my point, I have absolutely no idea what is happening in real world Venezuela (and I’d never claim to) just that I completed Mercs 2 very recently and there are a lot of tones in that game that go against what people seem to think the story is in the game.
