to make a long story short
Yesterday, my friend brought is little brother over. When they arrived I was playin my megaman x collection, see cuz thats one of my favorite franchise but its brother (15) who calls himself a hardcore gamer, tell me to try modern warfare 2. I told I aint feel like playin some fps and I dont like call of nooby.Then thats when the kid start to tell me Im no hardcore cuz I play kids game, he even knew who mega man was and still kept tellin that that was some kids game just like mario. I clearly made him shut the f up for tryin to diss 2 of my favorite franchise but, at the end, I thought that was pretty funny.
its funny how this generation, kids think that if a game looks cartoony its for kids
when games like mega man and metal slug are 10 to 20 times more hardcore then any fps I played.
so i would to hear what yall think about things like that and tell me if u have realized how, bcuz of the HD consoles ( more bcuz of fps this gen ), people use the term hardcore the wrong way
PS : I made him try one lvl and he couldn't even get to the boss
and sorry if I made some mistake while writing the post Im no good with punctuation in english

I am working on building community with those who are into non-hardcore gaming (see CADERS link below), like the said "casual" games and retro stuff, because an advantage of this, is that it should filter out the intolerant crowd who doesn't appreciate anything except what supposedly has a bunch of gore in it... I recall reading one post on a basketball forum where the poster goes off and says how adults play real games, that involve shooting people, and so on. How come there seemes to be an inverse between claims that stuff is mature/adult and the people claiming it not acting that way? This talk has people then arguing how they also like MadWorld, etc... on the Wii.
There is things to be said about older games that were both demanding AND accessible. Ahh, the days of the arcades. Those days were days when games had to reach a broad enough audience.
