IGN USA said they haven't reviewed MGS4 yet because they want to get the full online experience of MGO before they review. I kinda wonderred why most reviewers were treating MGO as a separate entity, and I'm glad to see that IGN is treating it all as one game. Although I was kind of looking forward to how people reviewed MGO all by its lonesome.

Otherwise I would agree, but with MGS-series the single player is the actual stuff. It's the story that counts. I don't even care about online when it comes to MGS series

Lost my faith in VGChartz. Too many stupid and ignorant Americans, even as moderators.

It's a shame, really. "The Boss" should do something radical about this Americanization, but it seems hardly feasible, so my days here are numbered.

It's true that some may only care about the single player game, but the multiplayer is included in the overall package so I believe that it should be a factor in scoring.

Cool. I didn't like how IGN AU gave it an 8.5 in Lasting Appeal and basically said that they were ignoring MGO in the comment.

technically the score shouldn't change any minds anyways, it's the text that is important
