| Bodhesatva said: As a PC gamer, I've always chuckled at the notion that, say, God of War II and Grand Theft Auto players are more "serious" or hardcore." From my perspective, you're all casual. "Hard core" video gamers, to me, make a living playing video games, or at the very least, play those games 10+ hours a day. I have always felt the bulk of Playstation 2 owners were in some nebulous center area: not children, by any means, but also not serious gamers. My personal opinion -- Video game consoles, in general, alienate hardcore gamers, not just the Wii. It's not the right venue for it. Personally, I pay 400 dollars a year to make sure my PC gaming rig is up to date and keeps me competitive in the world of professional gaming. THAT is hardcore, and it's something that consoles (and, particularly I think, gamepads instead of mouse/keyboards) have never provided. |
Hardcore is a silly term. And even if it wasn't, that's not hardcore... That's having a problem. You sir, should seek help for your problem.
