Let's try to talk about the games and not aout the people who play them.
Hardcore games require time. Because they are deep, because they are challenging and complex. Casual games can be picked up and be played in short periods of time.
Now, that is a very black or white definition because there are greys in between.
Some people have argued that is not the game but the way you play it. So shooters can be played in a casual way or in a hardcore way. I guess you can say the same about, I dont know, Wii Sports. You can pick it up once in a while or get really obsessed with it.
But there are games designed in such a way that you must play them in a hardcore way. That is if you like them, because if you don't that is another story.
What kind of gamer are you? A gamer. Period. Same here. I played GTA San Andreas to a 100% completion and also developed an insane obsession with The Sims2. I have played on my Nintendo Wii games such as Cooking Mama, Wii Party amd the Michael Jackson experience. I also put around 600 hours of game time on Oblivion and Skyrim. Maybe more. Aaand! I love Angry Birds.
Some people consider themselves hardcore. Well I wish I hd the time. I have succesfully stayed away from WoW because I want to keep my job.
So yeah, it is an over simplified way to classify games, but I feel it has to do with the time you need to put in the game in order to fully enjoy the experience.
