Fair enough, there are people that have gaming as a hobby. But that has nothing to do with being "hardcore". If you meant hobbyist, then why didn't you say hobbyist earlier?

I didn't use the term 'hobbyist' because thats not gaming lingo. As gamers we use certain words to set apart novices (or casuals) from intermediates and advanced gamers. Hobbyist is the technical term that defines a 'hardcore gamer' or 'the hardcore'. They have done everything but gone professional. Most of us here are gaming hobbyists, including me.

I still don't think harcore is the correct term to call someone who plays games that are made simple for the masses (in this case the PC style games on consoles). It's just wrong.

Dude, i played Spectral Force 3, and Ring of Red.

Those games are beyond obscure.

 

Also PC games are "made simple for the masses" as well. Hell fucking WoW has 10million players.
