TO CONTINUE IN TOPIC.
hard core gamers are people that know very well ALL types of games.
they play often the genre they prefer.
but instead of casual gamers they know very well also other genres.
you can play only fps...
you are maybe very good...
but still you're not an hardcore gamer!!!!
and also
you can feel a master in playing rpg...
but have beaten only FF serie doesn't make you an hardcore gamer or a Jrpg "specialist"...(only a square fan...)
in the end hardcore gamers are people that have beaten majority of leading games for all genres...
they can speak in details of majority of games because they played and beated those games.
in a way they are "specialist" in gaming.
I have another definition also:
CORE FAN
for example:
you played all square games???
youare a master in FF serie???
you're a square-enix core fan
you are a type of gamer that can speak in details of a serie or a games of a particular softco or games of a particular console.
for example my brother is a core fan of square-enix.
he plays almost only square-enix games.
he's not an hardcore gamer becuase he doesn't like rpgs in general o Jrpg in general.
he likes only square-enix rpgs...
another example:
I play only nintendo consoles.
(still I know very well other consoles trough my friend console...ps3 pad it's really crappy...it's not a fanboy sentence...I tried it on motorstorm...and it's really crappy...IMO)
so now days there few REAL hardcore gamers..(time to play it's what we lack
)
there are more specific types of gamers on console side ,or genre side,or softco side...
so in the end IMO definition of "HARDCORE GAMER" has to be splitten in many categories of core fans.
