Firstly, I said "contrary to what you
may think", not what you
do think. If I'm gonna be honest, I didn't once think you thought I didn't like multiplayer games. That's why I said "may". Because I was guessing. I didn't misinterpret your post, but that doesn't really matter at this point.
Your reply didn't upset me and I'm not really sure how it could have. You're fully justified to say anything you like, this is after all a public message board. What I was trying (But seemingly failed) to address was the fact that one member of this board refuses to buy the game because it's singleplayer only, and I simply wanted to say it's a shame. Nothing more. People are free to do what they like, I was just placing my opinion on it.
If singleplayer isn't your thing and this game doesn't appeal to you because of that, then I'll say the same to you, it's a shame you feel that way because
Mercenaries is a good game. I won't tell you you're wrong, you buy the games you like. After all, that's what being a gamer is all about, enjoying yourself.
