You're right. I hate it. It's like dental surgery. Someone send help, save me from this pit of video games I cannot escape from

I am going to throw more games into the pit, then you can climb up them and escape
I'm not really sure if I'm Hardcore. I play a lot of Dota, so I guess I kinda am, but I'm not really someone who knows a lot about esoteric games and hidden treasures. I play a lot of JRPGs, but I don't really venture all that much outside of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
When people started classifying gamers into hardcore and casual a few years ago, I was pretty surprised, thinking that hardcore gamers are people who can make their own mods and such. But I guess by most definitions, everyone on this forum would be a hardcore gamer.
That's not what I was saying. Just that I don't play all the time simply to keep up with the Joneses on the latest releases or KD-ratios or new PvP gear or whatever people might try to establish as hardcore.Originally Posted by I'm my own MILF
Do you people actually think we would play this much vidya if it wasn't fun?
...You know, far to often I've played through a game that wasn't fun just so I can say I made it through. XD
But yes, I would say I am hard core.
I get told constantly that "fun" is just a buzzword that ignorant casuals use as an excuse to play terrible games.Do you people actually think we would play this much vidya if it wasn't fun?
So I consider myself a casual.
I like Kung-Fu.
i find these terms about as plausible as the term hipster
i.e. i don't believe in them

So I consider myself a casual.
And you guys are no fun
how much I game depends on what else is going on in my life. since i have been known to put real life before video games i'm going to have to say i'm not all that hardcore
games are fun, though. i like to play them.
Being hardcore just means you think videogames are super fun and like to play all sorts of them. Even if you don't have time, it's the thought that counts. It's not a bad thing.
GW is about the only thing I'm hardcore.
Five or six years ago, I would consider myself pretty hardcore but due to a busy school life and juggling different jobs because I'm the grim reaper for businesses, as well as a lackluster console generation has really cut down on my gaming. I still keep up with some news but after I got bored with a lot of conversations going on this generation from gamers whining about everything from the Wii, to the silly 360 vs. PS3 debate, to Indie gaming is where the real gaming is at, to a few years later having people say PC gaming is where its at, and whatever silly fanboy B.S. that passes for critical gaming thinking among fans. I have pretty much bowed out of all that. I spend more time reading developer reports but that has more to do with learning about how to get into the industry. I'm kind of past talking about the merits of existing games, I want to actually make games now.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I didn't until the advent of the 99p basic casual indie game and Facebook games.
Now I guess I kind of am, because I like detailed games with a proper story and game mechanics that you have to learn, that cost 40-50x as much. I like to sit down and play a game for the sake of playing it and devote my time to it, not just do "pick up and play" stuff on my mobile while waiting for the dentist. Nowadays I guess that's considered hardcore?

Not really. I mean I play a lot of RPG's. I love me some RPG's and I do play almost daily, but I don't think I'm hardcore. I don't try to unlock everything or get 100% completion or anything like that. I just play it to enjoy it.
Don't particularly know if I'd describe myself as hardcore, I just have fun though my fun doesn't always seem like fun to others. I enjoy challenges, things most people refuse to do, things like: completing a game on it's hardest setting. At the same point however there's a lot of multiplayer challenges and achievements I never pick up purely because I play games online purely to have fun with my friends. I don't play online games alone (excepting Call Of Duty which is one multiplayer I will end up doing solo) I like gaming for the social aspect of being able to spend time with my friends having fun no matter how far flung across the globe they are.
