Diablo 3 could have been an absolute masterpiece. A lot of people say diablo 2 was a casual game to begin with... ok? then why did the go the SUPER CASUAL root, they could have turned this casual game series into something bigger and badder, nicer gothic graphics instead of the kid baloony WOW style.

Halo reach also went the casual root trying to suck in all the cod fans, got rid of the 1 - 50 rank system and their excuse is "boosting" but we all know its because the casual noobs dont want to be told they suck at the game.

The only thing bungie ever had to do was add new weapons, levels, vehicles and graphics. Thats what halo 1 - 3 did with adjustments to gameplay for the better and skillful.

But the causals also keep the market place alive, so what they take with one hand, they give with the other.

The only platform not really affected by this is PlayStation. With Beyond: Two Souls, The Last of Us, Ni No Kuni etc coming out.

The hardcore gamers with addiction problems are the ones really destoying gaming. These XP junkies turn games into tedious grinds. They are also responsible for feeding the DLC trolling.

also id call halo 3-reach hardcore cause every limb has a set damage it will do to your health head being the obvious marker. and you actually have to unload jump around and strat

now unlike most fps that are just one shot kills like cod and crysis 2 arent hardcore.

Casual gamers have been around forever. I seriously doubt they're ruining gaming.

If there's anything ruining gaming it's on-disc DLC and developers forcing MP onto us to force less used games sales.

Accusing "causual" gamers of "ruining" gaming is no better than some xenophobes who claim that a certain ethnic/racial group is "ruining" their country. This is nothing more than scapegoating and ignoring the real reasons.

Oh,my.....

It is.

Gaming is a medium made for entertainment purposes, not a necessity for survival, designed to be played whenever someone feels like it, to remove the boredom, etc. All entertainment mediums are the same, music, movies, Television shows, etc, all of them were made for casual entertainment.

Whether you wanna go hardcore with it is up to you.

The kids who were sheltered from mature games untill they were 17 are the type of people who do school shootings like va tech.

They werent around violence long enough to seperate fact from fiction.

You don't know sh*t. You weren't even out of diapers when I graduated university. Gaming has always had casuals and has always been casual first and foremost.

See how that works?

This thread is full of losers that like to pretend they are "hardcore" and superior to those they deem "casual", I'm not sure what "hardcore" gaming means but no one here is "hardcore". Gaming is a hobby, your all "casual" gamers, if you think otherwise you need to pull your head out of your ass and stop judging people.

Diablo 3 and Halo Reach are all alright games in their own way, if your not happy with them then it's just your taste and no one else's. Besides if your using the term "casual" as many people on here do to refer to games like COD, then Halo and Diablo have always been "casual" games because they have been popular.

That would make games like Resistance or Witcher "hardcore" because they are less popular. See the terms are jokes and everyone who uses them to sepearte people is a joke too.

Diablo 3 could have been an absolute masterpiece. A lot of people say diablo 2 was a casual game to begin with... ok? then why did the go the SUPER CASUAL root, they could have turned this casual game series into something bigger and badder, nicer gothic graphics instead of the kid baloony WOW style.

Halo reach also went the casual root trying to suck in all the cod fans, got rid of the 1 - 50 rank system and their excuse is "boosting" but we all know its because the casual noobs dont want to be told they suck at the game.

they didn't get rid of the 1-50 ranking, they just hid it from silly complainers, the game still uses the true skill system in halo reach.
