The hardcore gamer is that gamer that get's nearly evry game he finds interesting that mean's bad ones too, but the meaning of hardcore disappered ages ago.

The games you own dont make you a hardcore gamer, its that you put most of your entire ife dedicated to gaming, that makes you a hardcore gamer.

It looks like only teens are really hard core these days... Nope. Your games library makes you. I can't spend all day long with my PS3, I'm lame in shooters etc. and I still find myself hardcore. You can play once a week for one hour and still be extremely hardcore while someone else can play 4-6 hours a day and still be a casual gamer.



Well, I plan on beating Kingdom Hearts II right now, but it'll take me awhile since some retard erased my game data not too long ago and I haven't been assed to replay the incredibly boring first two-three hours of the game.

Yes especially with the Casual Gamers flooding in. I've never seen so many people who don't know what Cantipede, Galga, Pac-Man, Ninja Gaiden, Donkey Kong, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Asteroids, dare I say Mario or Sonic (to name a small select few) are before. I blame the media!!! 

 



Me: Even if you think you like me... You Don't! It's just that simple. I can be the bigger man and accept Xbox 360 may have some good games but screw their Hardware to HELL!!! F*** the RROD!!! Me: I'm not a fan boy :D. I just choose to hate everything Micro$oft and I love being immature! Can't wait to talk to you! Aesop: It is easy to be brave from a safe distance. Aesop: We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. Me: STFU... I'm eating tacos....... I reverse...... yea! Predictions for 2008 Coming Soon!!!

That doesn't make any sense. How can someone that plays 28-42 hours a week be less hardcore than a person that plays 1 hours a week?

PC games are almost always better than their console counterparts.  Fact.

Keyboard/Mouse with an optional controller surpasses a controller alone.  Fact.

PC gaming is better than a large portion of console gaming.  Opinion.

It makes no sense for you because your definition of being hc is different than mine. For me someone who plays only simple party games can't be hc no matter how much time he spends on it. For me it has nothing to do with mastering a game... but like I said it's my private definition.



Being a hardcore gamer: Not caring about a console or little game flaws, or whining about stupid crap.

Being "hardcare" gamer wannabe: Trying to claim you are.



Library size doesn't make you hardcore. I own maybe 15 games (excluding old Genesis, NES, SNES, etc. games) right now and I'm probably more hardcore than 90% of the people on this board.

It's all about how much you play and what you play, not how many games you currently own. For all we know the OP owns 50 games, 48 of which are still in the wrapper.
