oh yes punch out and sin and punishment are so hardcore >_o... not.

 

Punch-Out and Sin and Punishment are the very fucking DEFINITION of hardcore.

Punch-Out was a game that was hard enough that all the kids on your block would revere you as a god if you could beat it.

Sin and Punishment is probably one of the harder games out there.

And both of these games are harder than 90% of the "hide behind a rock and watch your lifebar refill" cakewalk bullshit that passes for hardcore these days.

Hardcore was when you fucked up three times and had to start the game over. People need to learn to give credit where it's due.

i played punch out in nintendo age, i managed to beat it once because getting to tyson was a pain in the but,  and being "hard" doesn't mean its hardcore.... hell you can make tetris unbeatable and that doesn't mean its hardcore

where is the epic storydriven experience, blood, and pixel perfect enviroment.

seriously i only heard about sin and punishment when they announce 2, which had a blond kid with rocket launcher of something like it.

it looked a kid wakes one one day and have to save the world had a kh deyavu.

if sin & punishment its hardcore what its kh?

 

You cannot be serious.

Are you saying no NES game was ever hardcore, then?

Since when does a story make a game hardcore?

Sin and Punishment is an on-rails shooter, Kingdom Hearts is a brawler with RPG elements.
