Um, we all started off playing some pretty crappy games -- I remember playing and enjoying friggin' bubsy.
I'd say i've turned out to be a core gamer -- everyone has to start somewhere. Just like if you started off listening to a artist/band in a genre, you move on to other bands that are similar until you find things you really like and you expand.
Its no different in gaming. If you can't handle 'casual' gamers or non-gamers coming into the industry, sucks for you.There is a 'FAIL' in your argument. I listen to rock music, and I will find new bands that are rock. I didn't say casual=crappy, I said casual=casual. There were no casual games during the SNES era, so you would be playing the "hardcore" games, and you are now a "hardcore" gamer. I can handle casual/non-gaming gamers coming into the industry, I just don't want to see EVERY game a casual game. I am a hardcore gamer, so I would like to see hardcore games.
Casual gaming was dominating the marketplace with titles like Grant Theft Auto and Halo long before the Wii came along.HAHAHAHAHAHA ROFLMAO next.
GTA and Halo aren't casual. FAIL POST, pt.2.
What's next?
Oh yes they are dude. A casual game is, by definition, one that appeals to a broad, LCD audience. Hardcore games are those that appeal to smaller, often nitch audiences.FAIL POST Pt.3: The conclusion!
There is no definition to hardcore and casual. Sorries :-(.
Now I'm going to go play Monopoly, where I won't be bombarded by people saying I'm not a hardcore gamer. Because I am!
