What is a hardcore gamer?

Kwaad said:Then less than .5% of gamers are hardcore. And hardcore gamers have ZERO impact on the gameing industry. I import PC games often enough. And I import some japanese games. There is a good chance I will start importing games for my PS3/PSP. how old? because I play breakout all the time. Oh yeah, and for Cult games. http://egosoft.com I play X.

See how subjective the difference between Hardcore and Casual is?

So you're hardcore? Well I know of many a forum where people would laugh their asses off at you claiming to be "hardcore". They'd mock your love of FF7, because real FF fans hate that piece of shit. They'd laugh because you've never heard of, let alone played, DonDonPachi. Think 3d is better than 2d, then you're a fag. You don't own Rez, then you have no cred. X isn't good enough, real Hardcore gamers play Fallout Importing Japanese games for NeoGeo is the only way to be, PSP/PS3 are too recent See how stupid "hardcore" can be as well as getting swept up in image? Oh, and Breakout is simple, which by your own admission you hate those types of games
