@chilibean_3: If I remember correctly there was a fair amount of trailers and publicity for Metal Gear Online, but maybe not to the extent that BF3 has been trying to sell its singleplayer component. For GTA4 I agree that Rockstar wasn't really trying to sell the multiplayer much. As for the 'mediocre' comment, I think that is generally how the multiplayer of both these games was received. I remember that for the GIantbomb GOTY 2008 discussions, the multiplayer for both these games was completely ignored and had no bearing on which game received the reward.

I remember Jeff saying in the quick look that the single player is part of the game and that is strange that some review gave it a high score despite them viewing the single player as not that good and I completely disagree with that.

I found this statement by Jeff a little strange, because it kind of goes against some past Giantbomb reviews. Both MGS4 and GTA4 received very favourable reviews and scores despite the multiplayer being mediocre at best. I haven't listened to the Bombcast yet so maybe he explains this viewpoint better there but to me it seems like it's acceptable to essentially ignore multiplayer in reviews when that is not the main focus of the game but not vice versa.

I'm in, might play some Terran this time to get some more TvX games in there instead of the usual Protoss and Zerg matchups we get in these tournaments so often.

Haven't played 1v1 in a while, this might not go so well...

 GOOOOOOO THOOOOOOOOORRRRZAAAAIN

Dignitas.Naniwa vs. MouzThorzain is just starting now over at

Personally I'm rooting for Thorzain, his path to the finals has arguably been the toughest and he has shown some really good matches so far.

EDIT: Seems like there is an old thread that can be used to discuss this
