The way the industry thinks and talks about "casual games" makes it an insult. I personally don't use the term to describe any good game, because its definition excludes quality. When the industry says "casual games", it's about cheap to make games that are rushed to the market to make a quick buck. |
The industry except Nintendo I suppose. Me, as aconsumer, I don't have a problem calling Wii Sports a casual game. But it is darn good and hard. Yes, it is easy to pick up and enjoy but really hard to master. For instance, is it even possible to score a perfect game in Wii bowling? I mean, even making four strikes in a row is a great achievement. It is hard to master. I even have problems keeping my "Pro" status, lol! But maybe I am not that hardcore. I guess it is possible to rank way over a 1000 points in every discipline but I don´t care.
Besides, being offended is a choice you make. Why is people who call themselves hardcore trying to insult other gamers by calling them casual? (If casual=bad&stupid) Why are they feeling threatned? Their problem, not mine.
Calling games "expanded audience games" is too technical for me. Only Nintendo do that. Yeah, I know that the term "casual" maybe empty for them. But as long games are good and fun, call them as you wish.
