You are mistaking "core" to mean "hardcore". What core stands for are titles that are the bread and butter of a gaming company and the longer a series has been around, the more core it is, because it has repeatedly proven its worth. For Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart and Smash Bros. to cease being core games, they would either have to sit out at least one complete generation or have their sales drop into irrelevance. Nintendo's games aren't hardcore though, because that term usually stands for "games I do not like", something that absolutely holds true for you. Other than that the word really has no clearly defined meaning. |
well since Wii when ninty was refering to core it always was to Hardcore they are the one that did the change of meaning not us.... then again if core is that then it doesn't oppose to casual.... what you are saying means that a core game can be casual.... now there isn't a single game type I do not like so for me the more the merrier.... and lately I have been doing a lot of casual gaming... mostly because it is with friends that don't play usualy.... and had just as much fun if not more than when I play fallout, halo, or forza...
what I'm seeing here.... it's people are bitching so much lately between "core" and "casual" that they even lost track of the true meaning.... which at the end doesn't really matter..... as long as the majority of gamers are still having fun a couple hours a day or so playing it means the big 3 (ninty, sony, MS) are doing something right.....
