Oh wait, I got 242 stars in SMG, thats 100% right?

Huzzah! I am not casual afterall :D

You're not the minority, my friend. A lot of people on this site aren't really hardcore gamers. To be honest, we only have a handful of them, if you're to go by my definition.

 @Soriku:

 I'm more intrested in building up huge libraries of game than I am beating a few 100%. I like to blow through hundreds of games and experience the best games gaming has to offer. I've pretty much bought and played through the best games on all 3 consoles. I can't wait for Okami Wii and Ninja Gaiden 2!

No casual can get the purple coins with Luigi on Toy Box and Dreadnaught levels. High five!

 Do I fit in the hardcore domain?

Not on the first playthrough, on the second playthrough I get 100%.

Actually, for someone who posts on a videogame forum an awful lot, I don't really play games all that often... Am I a casual?   Get off you casual. @totalwar You too! @Riot I'm forcing myself to play Luigi too X_X I got 70 stars. I can't continue. But I HAVE to for ,y goal. But it's so boring...  Oh you think you won't become a casual in the future? Trust me you will, it will get to you. There's no resisting it.   Once hardcore, always hardcore

Thats what they all say >.>

One day you're just a kid who wants nothing more than to play Tekken and Twisted Metal on his Playstation all day.

Then all of a sudden: BAM!!!

Your 23 years old, working full time and giving all your games money to a girl so she can spend it on shoes and clothes and makeup. Life goes downhill from here :(

@DarkKnight_DS:

Of course. Not all hardcore gamers have the same opinions and veiws towards gaming. So, with that said, I don't really think a majority of hardcore gamers are the same. Most hardcore gamers tend to have there own philosophies towards gaming. Some like gameplay, some like story, and other like a challenge.

I've never gotten 100% in any of my games. Once the credits roll, it's back on the shelf for all eternity. Hell, I've only played through two games (RE4 and Zelda OoT) more than once in the last 10 yrs. I just don't have the time or patience.

I'm trying to break that habit myself. (Umbrella Chronicles isn’t helping)

As one nutjob completionist to another, you have my condolences on what happened with Baten Kaitos Origins earlier.

Never gotten 100% on any game, I really wanted 100 for Metroid Prime one but it just didnt happen. Ah well.
