Hardcore to me is that playing games is your main form of entertainment. To me "hardcore" is just another way of saying "my main hobby."

You can also look at the term hardcore gamer almost as an insult. I still think theres that stigma of being considered a "hardcore gamer" (at least in my family, it's still looked down upon as some childish thing, but the times are changing and my parents don't exactly like changing).
