Nice one, wfz. You are finally getting the hang of it.

 

See, I knew I could do it if I thought hard enough to make up a point but didn't put enough energy into it to write it all out.



12. You appreciate a good art style for a game, and/or are incapable of telling the difference between 720p and upscaled 640p. Bonus casual points if you can't tell the difference between that and 480p

It is to us casual gamers. Take your elitism elsewhere!

 

Khan brings up a good point. I didn't even realize I was only playing Gears 2 in 480p for a few weeks before my friend told me it wasn't in 1080i (or whatever I have it switched to now). I can't tell the difference between the two when I'm playing the game, and I'm 100% serious.



I'm guilty at 1 and 8, but I'm about to finish Viewtiful Joe in adults difficulty. Am I a casual gamer? =/

lol thats funny



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!! 

With point #3, almost everyone would be a casual gamer. A hobby is not a priority in one's life. It's something people do to set themselves at ease. This is how most view gaming.

Point #8 is also questionable. Most times, the people I play online are my cousins when we are all away at school. We play local multiplayer when we're all back on holidays but as you can imagine, we play more through the online system. I won't say i prefer playing online especially because of lag but sometimes, it can't be helped.
