Just some funny Bad Company Adds.

It is sad the sequel lost almost all the humor

By your definition I would be a hardcore gamer and I just happen to like the COD series as well. I play games to have fun, get good at them, and to pass time. It just so happens I receive achievements on the way. My online gaming experience started with Quake 3 Arena and continues to this day. I have been gaming since the Atari 2600 days. I would argue that someone who has been gaming for only 6 years really isn't quite in the hardcore gamer category and I don't know why the OP has some sort of agenda against COD.

nevermind

The irony :D

hahaha. I find this image very hilarious.

'hardcore' is a description of how one plays a game, rather than of a game itself.  An example is my Mum with Tetris (what many would call a 'casual' game), she played it on my GBC for about 45mins each day, for 9 years (until I got her Tetris DS).  I've only played about 40 hours in total and don't regularly play.  She is a 'hardcore' Tetris player, while I am not.  My Mum hasn't completed the pokedex, finished Super Metroid in under 3 hours or found minus world, but at Tetris she truly is 'hardcore'.  That's not to say some games lend themselves more to 'harcore' and 'casual' playing habits, but gamer's habits change with each game.

Yeah that's how I see it. You need those gamers who buy lots of videogames because these gamers are the ones who will buy games like Enslaved and Vanquish for $60. Niche titles are heavily reliant on these gamers. Because the mainstream gamer certaintly isn't buying these games. They are buying the Call of Dutys and Halos. There is so much competition right now as well. It's unbelieveable. Lots of studios have shut down but I'm amazed that the industry still manages to pump out so many games week after week. You'd have to think that this minority who buys lots of videogames makes up a huge chunk of the industry's revenue. This is probably even more pronounced with the porn industry. The small minority who actually pays for porn is pretty much supporting the gravy train for the masses who just download it for free.

wow, your mom is really hardcore. 9 years?? I wish people wouldn't change the meaning of hardcore for the purpose using it for a title. I agree it's a playing habit not a purchasing habit. I wish I had a hardcore mom. Instead my mom would turn the video games off and yell at me for playing god awful video games that go beep beep and boop boop.
