Just another offliner slagging onliners?
Sure sounds that way to me.

Regardless of the current argument which I have not read, he does generically speaking have a point. However I do not think the issue has anything to do with online versus offline players.
Basically there do seem to be individuals (including a LOT of online game reviewers) opposed to a game having options either graphically or game mechanics wise that they will not or cannot use.
This segment of the gaming community exert continuous pressure to dumb down games and limit the graphics options to what will run on their mid range or older machines. This is the group that has led to most fantasy role play games now consisting of "stand next to the monster and left click madly".
The fact that advanced/high-res options can be turned off is not good enough for this group, they insist the game should run at FULL resolution on their older machine and include no difficulty options they can not be bothered learning. If its a game reviewer you will get a scathing review of how the game ran "far too slow" on their test machine on maximum resolution and was "unnecessarily complex" to learn.
Accusing online full switch players may have been unfair but players/reviewers with that attitude certainly do exist.
