FAKE- there is no violence in Brazil. Thats what the other guys said in the thread on Sony-numbers in Brazil.

 

lol

I think he said that getting mugged wasn't likely. I would agree generally...unless you lived in the favelas (You might be fucked in this area).

I don't know who said "it's not likely", but I don't belive there's such thing as that, you just gotta be double careful everywhere. there are certain speedways in Rio that you should avoid at late hours because there's a chance the gangs will attack you. here in Porto Alegre there are certain A, B class zones where there's a high chance of getting your tires stolen or your car robbed (and unless they use your car for another crime, they'll probably sell it for a VERY low price to an illegal auto parts retailer)

if you live in favelas the danger is getting in the middle of gang fights or police invasions, other than that I don't see any issue (besides the occasional crack and cocain addicts that rob whoever they find to get more drugs).

here's the Caveirão ("Big Skull") invading a favela. the skull is the symbol of the BOPE (Special Operations Battalion), which usually handles these incursions.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

What was said was that the violence wasn't so bad and widespread that it would cause DS and PSP not to sell or have a big impact on their sales. Besides, as you said, It'd be just stupid to go about with a PSP hanging around by a dangerous place.

Oh, and MW Rio has to be GOTY. Life-like graphics, fully destructible environments, the most advanced AI ever seen and, finally, no more cheap regenerative life system :P

Ah yes. You just know every brazilian vgc member will comment on this.

The only good side to all this: they're sending everyone home early from work. Yay?
