You know...Nintendo doesn't really target casual gamers...they target non gamers (ie. people who have never played a game or barely played a game).

Edit:

@Rol

No...we are elite gamers (ie. people really good at games and aren't lumped together with the snobcore).

Yes, we are elite gamers, Mr. "I just got the Morph Ball in the original Metroid, but I can't progress further because the game is so friggin' hard".

 

LOL. You know I beat Metroid right?

 When you can beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts you can say "we elite gamers."

Hardcore is a term gamers who give a shit about those things want to be referred to and casual is the word they use to bring others down that aren't like them. Criteria doesn't matter. Simple enough?

This.

Basically casual gamers don't really exist, it's just a term used to mock other gamers who don't like exactly the same games as the group of elitists who likes to call themselves hardcore.

For example in the view of these hardcore gamers, I would be a casual gamer as well.

 

no one likes to be label.

both terms were give to 2 complete difference the party just as it.

core games follow what they tested once, there were new or casual but they developed their taste and maintain it.

Hot chick playing the PS2(?), thank you.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Oh my, Resident_Hazard broke the thread! x_x

But hey, did you guys notice that there's only two big buttons on the PS2 (?) controller instead of L1, L2, R1 and R2? I'm guessing, no... God, I'm not normal! xD



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

The way you play - hardcore gamers play the shit out of their games and try to get the most of it. That's rarely the case with casuals, who beat the game nad move on.
