| MrT-Tar said: 'hardcore' is a description of how one plays a game, rather than of a game itself. An example is my Mum with Tetris (what many would call a 'casual' game), she played it on my GBC for about 45mins each day, for 9 years (until I got her Tetris DS). I've only played about 40 hours in total and don't regularly play. She is a 'hardcore' Tetris player, while I am not. My Mum hasn't completed the pokedex, finished Super Metroid in under 3 hours or found minus world, but at Tetris she truly is 'hardcore'. That's not to say some games lend themselves more to 'harcore' and 'casual' playing habits, but gamer's habits change with each game. |
wow, your mom is really hardcore. 9 years?? I wish people wouldn't change the meaning of hardcore for the purpose using it for a title. I agree it's a playing habit not a purchasing habit. I wish I had a hardcore mom. Instead my mom would turn the video games off and yell at me for playing god awful video games that go beep beep and boop boop.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
