| Omega_Phazon_Pirate. said: Honestly, it's a term the Sony fanboys used to try and justify them not being in first place and to piss off the Wii fan/boys. It's funny how any game that hits the Wii is automatically coined a "Casual" game. Then a game like Little Big Planet comes out and it is coined a huge "Hardcore" game (and of course people go into racist mode when it gets delayed by a week, but that's another story). Point is, if Little Big Planet was a Wii title (of course with not as good graphics, but still everything else), it would be dubbed a casual game, yet since it's on the PS3, it's Hardcore. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the term "Hardcore" doesn't exist, I think it does exist, however that is entirely subjective in a lot of cases. I definetly do think the Wii series games are casual, but that doesn't mean they aren't as bad, it just means that they appeal to a crowd that isn't as familiar with gaming as the more "Hardcore" gamers are. Hell, I have a blast playing Wii Sports with my friends (and I consider myself a hardcore gamer). I do enjoy hardcore games like SSBB, MKWii, Twilight Princess, SMG, Halo 3, MGS4, CoD4, many more. Anyways, that's my 2 cents.

If you own the three systems, is easier to see that hardcore is not the same as fanboy.
On the other hand, there are people saying that there are no hardcore or casual games, that is the people who can play ANY game in a hardcore way. So you can be pretty hardcore playing tetris or Wii sports...
I kind of disagree... I still think that games are designed thinking in a casual or hardcore target. And if you are an "open-minded hardcore gamer" you can play and "have a blast" in any of them. Casual gamers, on the other hand, they won´t become hardcore at will. So... what I am saying now? I have just demonstrated that the only gamers that truly exist are: THE CASUALS! No seriously, unless we are talking about some nerdhasnolifebuttoplayvideogameshardcore gamer, more normal gamers are harder to be classified, because, as you said, if we are in the mood we can play some Wii music and later, I don't know, MGS4 or whatever
