WORST misconception ever, that "hard-core" gamers don't care about gameplay. No idea where it comes from, it's just stupid everytime I hear it.

does Portal lack gameplay? How about Assassin Creed? Or Bio Shock? Halo 3? Uncharted?

Did I say they didn't care about gameplay? No, I said they were (oftem) more impressed by shiny graphics than solid game play.

Why do games produced by mediocre developers get hyped when the only thing we know about the game is it has pretty graphics?

I would say the hard core gamer is more impressed by gameplay and the average joe gamer is easily swayed by hype and shiny graphics.

and what prevents the average joe gamer to pretend as a "hardcore" gamer?
