| hsrob said: They don't. That's why the word hardcore is nonsense. F-Zero GX is my example, maybe others can give some other examples. It is hard, very hard and can not be mastered without putting in a significant amount of time, the only definition of hardcore that i can abide by. |
I can come up with a few... Ikaruga one of the most hardcore flying shooters. Civilization games (mainly Civ 3 in my opinion with tons of user-made scenarios that are usually far better than the scenarios that came with Conquest). Starcraft the most hardcore RTS game so far. Ninja Gaiden (NES), Ghouls 'n Ghost / Ghoust n' Goblins. Yes, F-Zero GX is pretty damn hard / hardcore. I love the F-Zero series and can't wait for another.
