"And how did you become "hardcore"?"
The first two games I played were XWing and Ultima Underworld. Two of the best games ever.
I have no problem with approachable games I also played a lot of Jump&Runs in the beginning (Commander Keen ftw).
In the end I think hardcore is a stupid adjective. I have a problem with games that suck. I wouldn't have a problem with crap games if their success hadn't destroyed some of the best franchises. If the lowest denominator will make you more money the games will suffer.
Anyone remember DeusX one of the best games ever and its sad sequel DeusX2 that was targeted at the console gamer?
Or compare XWing, Tie-Fighter, Wing Commander3, FreeSpace2 with games like Rogue Squadron, makes me cry a lonely indian tear.
There are still great games in some categories, some games are even better than anything before but many game types have really suffered on the hand of the mainstream.
