That would make sense if he had given the game a 8 and said he docked points because it lacked online, it doesnt when he gives the game a 9.5. You can gauge if a game is good or bad without going online, if the online is atrociously bad you can simply stick to single anyway would not make sense ot dock points, if online is the best thing ever created youd add some points but what can you do when the servers arent up and reviewers have to review before launch.

 

This is not a coop game, nor a PvP game its a single player game with fun online elements, you can evaluate it pretty acuratly without ever going online, specialy cause theres a bunch of ppl who play Souls games ofline to begin with.

No, that's how you evaluate a game.  I prefer reviewers who give the entire picture, not just the parts they're interested in.  That's the difference between a player, and a reviewer.  A player may not care for the MP portion, or the SP portion, but a reviewer is paid to review both portions.  Not meant as a slight toward you, by the way, I expect reviewers to put a bit more effort into their work, than an average player.  That's all.

Not necessarily true.  Some reviewers are serious while others are not; sometimes it's more reliable the opinion of an experienced player than a so called 'professional reviewer';  you never know. It depends from case to case.
