and that is the awful true, unfortunately. as I said on a previous post in this topic, people laugh at me when i say Im thinking about buying a NDS game... cheers!

dont worry mate! I know what you mean. me and a lot of other people do really want to nuke these guys too, specially because they make things really hard for us - brazilians who does not go fu**ing around on servers. cheers!

The main problem with games developed locally is more related with most brazilians having prejudice with things created here - comics, books, games. Some people have this thought that if it is brazilian, it might suck. The trouble is not with how widespread is the broadband, but its quality...
