All FPS games are casual. It's been the same easy pick-up-and-play genre from Duck Hunt to Halo 3.

POINT AND SHOOT.

POINT AND SHOOT.

Casual as BALLS.

I understand that any game can be hardcore, just like I pointed out that Wii Sport can be,

The whole point I was making is that on these boards people say the Wii is not "hardcore" because they don't have FPS games, and I was just pointing out some of the most casual gamers I know all they play are FPS games.

Genres are neither hardcore or casual by definition. Games however can be hardcore or casual or indeed, even a mixture of the two.

Halo 3 is a game that is for both hardcore and casual gamers, most super successful games are. Some shooters are indeed hardcore and some are really quite casual. The stereotype that FPS are for hardcore gamers is unsurprisingly ignorant as things are never that clear cut but that does not mean there are not shooters for hardcore gamers.

lol i guess i'm casual too, i play FPS games. I have Rainbow Six Vegas, Resistance fall of man, and Call of duty 4 that are FPS.

There's pick up and play, then there's superhuman

Wait! Isn't hardcore involves lots and lots of nudity and sex and all that stuff that you hide under your bed?

hardcore gamers are a dying breed. I believe that nowadays we have gamers, non-gamers and hardcore gamers. The latest play like 6 to 8 hours a day. It can be Sims or WoW, the time they play is what makes them hardcore, not what they play.

Gamers can play any game in the market, with more or less trouble. Non-gamers, can only play pick&play games, like FPS, puzzlers, mobile games, edutainment, etc.

Hardcore gamers are like 0,5% of the total gamers in the planet. You've like 1 billion gamers+non-gamers in the world, and what? 20 million hardcore? Its residual. Not worth mention anymore. Imo...

I think casual and hardcore are figments of people's imagination.
