Why is it that kids or certain male adults who own a 360 or ps3 all of a sudden think they are hardcore. They own either Halo or a Modern Warfare game and shun games that are very Nintendo like. I don't like these new gamers, they are so annoying and think they know it all when it comes to gaming. Why do these gamers think they are Hardcore ?

There is no such thing as "hardcore" and as for adults and kids acting like its cool to have a 360 or a PS3... Honestly there are some punks out there who think its badass to own a wii and that a PS3 or Xbox isn't "hardcore".

This has always existed. They will either leave or with time, actually become regular gamers or hardcore gamers(or whatever you want to call them).

I don't really know what the definition of hardcore/casual gaming is. Nor do I care. I play games that interest me and are fun.

Now it's as though these gamers think if it isn't realistic, it is considered kiddy. Back then, were games like super mario world and sonic considered kiddy?

Mario was kiddy. Sonic was teen :cool:. The kiddy stuff was basically invented by Sega ads.

TC, Sure why not? I could play a lot of Angry Birds and have the highest score in the world which makes me pretty hardcore. I could also be top ranked in Mario Kart for the Wii and Nuntendo 3DS and that would make me a hardcore gamer. Heck I could enter into pro competitions like MLG to play Supersmash Brothers, cosplay as my favourite Pokemon, Zelda characters. I could also be a casual player of Call of Duty and only play it maybe 2-3 times a month and rarely touch the online part. (actually I still havn't finished my copy of MW2 yet),. I wouldn't get caught up with this Hardcore/casual stuff seriously because games by their very nature is about fun first.

It's all relative. To me, there really isn't anything more "casual" than Call of Duty. I consider games like Guilty Gear, Bangai-O, Child of Eden, Super Meat Boy, The Club, Contra, and F-Zero to be "hardcore". But to someone who plays Farmville, The Sims, Bejeweled, and Solitaire games like Madden and Halo definitely seem pretty hardcore.

Those who are hardcore tend not to post on gaming forums. They tend to spend the entirety of their spare time devoted to playing their game-idol and perfecting their interactive relationship with it (i.e. playing so much Ikaruga that one can play two player by oneself).

You are hardcore or casual based on your passion for games and gaming, IMO, not on what brands you buy or what series you like. Very passionate and know about the hobby, you are hardcore. Just game for something to do, you are a casual. And the market needs and supports both, just like all entertainment.

We differ in opinion on definition, but someone playing games to the detriment of other things needs help like any other addict. Just saying.

Because shooting people with your dual-analog controller is extremely hardcore. You're a step away from Batman in sheer badassitude.

I am a casual gamer. I play 1-3 hours a day every day. It represents having fun, to relax...not that it is my job or anything. I enjoy it until I will grow up and find playing games a waste of time.

Also, where do you see this "hardcore kids". Give me an example with a link if possible.

Games themselves shouldn't be defined as casual, core or hardcore, only the players. Casual gamers are the people who will buy a system or game based on hype and advertising or whatever is popular at the time, core gamers play games they think look good and tend to go through quite a few games per year, and hardcore gamers are those that play professionally. At least that is my opinion on this anyway. :P

Because wanting to belong is a basic human trait. You see this everywhere, people want to belong to groups based around a skill or dedicated hobby but don't want to commit the time and effort to do it.

They can be if you want them to, it's the player that's hardcore not the game. A person who finishes Pacman is a very different person to the person who plays it in their lunch break one time.

60$ price tag compared to another 60$ game. Fable has 1000000 hours of game time,UC3 has 5 hours. Derp
