PS3 is so hardcore it's ignoring Mother's Day completely with a God of War III and inFamous bundle.

How's that ignoring mother's day?  Maybe mom's prefer these games more? inFamous has a tragic relationship going on and God of War 3....Kratos and Aphrodite scene? If the mom aint getting enough lovin from the dad on mother's day then Kratos will finish the job.

Wait a second...that video was two minutes long and you responded one minute after I posted...that means you missed AT LEAST 3 or 4 of the executions!  And this was part one of three!

I now move that leatherhat's remarks be removed from the record as hearsay.

In all seriousness though, Gears 3 is as hardcore as it can get.  Nowhere near the following of COD or Halo and an online that has been supported for 5 years by a small group of dedicated players.  Heck, there's probably <100K players in the beta I think.  AND I still, love it so.



Undeniably XB360 has become a console for toddlers, mums, nuns and grannies, but while we can't do anything for toddlers, mums and nuns, at least its grannies are a lot more hardcore than Wii ones!

You're so hardcore.



Every system does casual bundles....so give me a break.  You do realize its absolutley foolish to market your product to only one group of gamers correct?  So yeah sure MS is trying to attract the soccer moms, and parents.  But 360 gamers are still going to be gettin Gears of War, Halo, Forza, Fable, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls and tons of other "core" games.  If anything MS is showing a much better marketing team than the other consoles by being so well rounded. 

Even the Move bundle is far from a "core" bundle.  The only game that comes with it is a Sports minigame collection.  Similar to another system hardcore gamers like to call "Casual".

*looks at all consoles in disgust*

 

WAIT!  I own Kinect with Kinect Adventures and Your Shape Fitness (game kicks ass, btw).  My mom loves it, too.  I guess I need to revoke my status, too.





Oh, I was obviously mistaken in thinking everyone knew "hardcore" is a tired, worn out cliche that is now only ever used ironically.
