Jpcc86 said: Ive been gaming for around 33-34 years and I still dont understand what this "core gamer" concept people throw around is supposed to mean? |
Casual gamer is someone who just plays one or two games to just pass time, or in say only during a social gathering (i.e. Wii)
Core gamer is just someone who likes to play a variety of games and usually completes them but has a grip on reality and can function in the real world.
Hardcore gamer is someone who gives up on life and work and sits playing games 3-4 days straight till they pass out I guess lol.
Now what is confusing is how can games be classified casual, core and hardcore?
Let's use Just Dance or Guitar Hero as an example. Most gamers on here would consider them casual, however if people play them till they can do the dance moves blind folded or play the instruments blind folded and enter competitions, is that technically not hardcore gaming lol?
