PSA: Guilty Gear Trailer Lied, Title DOESN’T Have Online Play

This led to incredibly mixed reviews, ranging from 9s and 10s right down to 1s and 2s. Thankfully, the director's cut - released this week on PS3 - seems to have gone a long way towards fixing many of the problems, and may balance out critical reception.
