Another attempt at the Hardcore/casual definition :-P

The real diffence is that hardcore gamers care and fret about the difference while casual gamers don't.

This is a fairly judgemental post and an unfair one. We don't care and fret about the difference (at least I don't), it's just something we talk about because we are hardcore gamers and so we talk about myraid subjects whereas a casual gamer will probably talk this way about cars, or a significant other, or tv.

This is just something we are into, and so we are going to talk about all aspects of it. I don't mean to be rude but you seem to be casual since you don't know what you are talking about "reasonable"

That logic follows completely from mine or maybe it leads to mine, so I agree. Although, I think that may be on the low end of the hardcore scale.

 

One - the element that only HC talk about it while casuals don't is near enough 100% accurate.  Only HC gamers argue the toss of what HC vs C means, etc. etc.

Two - It only takes a few visits to a few boards to see that many (not all of course) hardcore gamers (i.e. those that identify themselves that way) do indeed fret about it, particularly the thought of casual games/gaming ruining the serious business of hardcore gaming

Three - I just count myself a gamer, although with my history of gaming I suspect most would say I'm a hardcore gamer as I've been gaming since you first could

Four - I'd say on the evidence my opinions are more informed that yours

Five - not to be rude of course
