Good points by all. Especially that it's a categorization to sell games to an audience. I'd consider myself a core gamer who dives slightly into being hardcore when I love a game so much I want to beat it on the hardest difficulty, 100% it or get good enough at it that it becomes trivial in difficulty but I also tend to engage more casually these days, sometimes putting a game on normal or easy if it feels right or I wanna complete the game but I'm not feeling a need to be dying every few minutes and I justify that as my character being more OP and Monster Hunter worlds is getting put on the wait for a sale train, a game in a series I love so and I stalled on getting a PS5 until my PS4 started giving issues, I suppose the hardvore is being filtered out of me with age.
Eh, I'm happy with being a core gamer, I wouldn't wanna ruin the hobby for myself. I could and still would be happy to be still playing sekiro for multiple hours a week cause I can get so obsessed with that game but it's not worth the time that could be spent on fresh experiences.Yet then again I feel Stellar Blade calling out to me to be beaten without using burst or Beta skills now any chip buffs on hard mode so the ember just needs some air.
