My view of a hardcore gamer. Is a person who would devote most of his time and life in gaming(the one who plays 360 until the 3rings of death :D i.e overheating or until your wii freezes). And be able to play any game and be adjustable, he or she should be comfortable playing minesweep or tetris and of course bioshock or battle field etc. Hardcore gamer has been stereotyped into playing FPS eg quake 4 bla bla. please correct me if I am wrong. Hardcore gmaer is adjustable to any game genre and gives a fair judgement on the game. Its all a matter of taste |
A hardcore gamer is whatever a particular poster wants the hardcore gamer to be for the purpose of proving the poster's point. :P
But I think your conception is pretty fair. Any person who plays 20 hours or more of video games in a week is pretty hardcore, whatever the game is.
