So because you play tons of PC strategy games, you're suddenly more hardcore than me?Originally Posted by I'm my own MILF
You people do comprehend the definition of "hardcore", yes? Just because he plays a lot of consolebabby games doesn't make him hardcore. The nature of the games matters as well, otherwise my mom should win because Farmville for hours erry day. Conversely, me and Pike play loads of strategy vidya and Jeremy plays the smurf out of DF and Nethack, which qualifies us for this title far more eminently than it does Bolivar: JRPG Edition. (Nothing against WK like, he's a top bloke. Just not hardcore.)
How about you and I play some DDR on doubles in Heavy mode and see whose hardcore then
Though I'll agree Necro beats me not so much for Nethack, as much as its his willingness to do gameplay challenges like his low level/no job system FFV playthrough he was doing a few years back. I don't do stuff like that anymore, but I blame it more for being able to keep myself supplied with a steady stream of games, and not having to come up with creative ways to enjoy the small amount of titles I used to own after playing them a thousand times.
I assume I get voted for this because I have an opinion on almost every game related nonsense out there (are games art?, why video games need to be challenging, how console designs are bankrupting third party studios etc...) and because I tend to understand the game mechanics on a deeper level than most would care. I doubt most would care or notice differences in magic damage output between entries of the FF series and what is the optimal set-ups for each game, or how stats in the the games can be optimized for overflow damage, and what that means for the FF titles it applies to(Its a bad thing in VI, its a great thing in VII). Besides playing games, I actually like reading gameplay mechanics guide, that deal with all that awful math.So in my defense, I would argue that I'm at least eligible for the title of "hardcore" because I do more than just "play a lot of console games", now whether I'm the "most hardcore" is debatable...
