| Fractal of Time said: Hardcore means really into gaming. Playing complex & hard games. There buying lots of games and will buy PS3, Wii and Xbox 360. They like exclusive games. They beat a game 3 times or more. They only play good games. Casual means they like gaming nothing more nothing less. They think good graphics=good games. They buy one console and about 15 games a generation. I'm sure they will have EA games. They don't finish a game. They are buying crappy movie games. Wii is also for Hardcore gamers, but they buy a Wii for Zelda, Mario enz. So a kiddy looking game could be hardcore. The hardcoregamer knows that. |
I agree some cartoony game can be Hardcore most core Mario games are at the edge of Casual and hardcore I think I would definitly agree Zelda is Hardcore. just to pose another question in online play Hardcore or Casual.?
The only problems i see with your definition of hardcore is why buy all systems and then care about exclusives? If you have every console why the hell do yu care about exclusives?
Then if Caual gamers care so much about graphics why would Nintendo think otherwise and make a less graphical power house to appeal to casual and non-gamers? How does the wii mote cater to more the Casual or Hardcore gamer?
Myself I think Graphics and motion controls are not even a factor in what a hardcore game is. To me a Hardcore game is like an Epic movie or novel Story is probly the most important to me. I don't own all systems but does that make me Casual? Or just not rich(or able to explain to my wife why I need a 360 yet)
