Casual games and casual gamers are good for the industry.

Wow its sad seeing people claiming to be elite gamers,hardcore gamers or any of that crap.They dont even know anything to do with games eitherway casual games are good for the industry people believe it or not.Developers like ubisoft need casual games such as just dance 2 to make big budget titles like assasins creed 3,zombie u,a new prince of persia,rayman origins,far cry 3.

Casual gamers are the majority without them buying consoles developers like sony would be in a much worse fininacial situation just like they are now.

We are seeing shops go into administration such as GAME who were recently saved to bad my shop closed down aswell as my local HMV.Developers wont get the money they need to make games if noone is buying them a small 2million people (people who claim to be hardcore) isnt enough.

If you dont like casual games/casual gamers to bad you have to live with it.

Also games like

assasins creed

pokemon

Call of duty

Are great (well call of duty isnt).Dont like it dont buy it i guess.

In b4 people start hating me for my lack of research.

any paying customer is good for the industry , industry doesnt care if games are dumbed down , it just cares bout cash

So I guess you'll be fine if the next Zelda game is extremely shallow and easy (not that Zelda games are the pinnacle of hardcore and deep anyway) and holds your hand throughout the whole game and encourages a cinematic experience, all for the sake of appealing to a 'wider audience'. Right?

I don't see anything wrong with casual games either. If someone enjoys their FarmVille or their Just Dance 2, then by all means they should play it.

I think the problem people have is when developers dumb down games that are meant to appeal to hardcore gamers in order to make it easier on the average gamer. Hardcore gamers want a challenge and therefore they get mad, they want to be given a challenge, not have their hands held.

I think both kinds of games are fine, but they should not mix. Hard games for the hardcore, casual for the casuals.

I hate you, this thread has lack of research.

So how's he trolling by stating something thats true? Maybe he felt like it needed to be said so people will quit bashing games like Halo and Assassins Creed.

This is kind of obvious, really. The more money made, the more games.

Im just sick and tired of some people who claim to be more important then others by giving themselves the term "hardcore gamer" if anything they are also casual.They think the world revolves around them and that every game should be how they like it.They bash casual games when there are plenty of good casual games.They also claim to have superior intellect compared to casual gamers when they to are dumber and cant accept opinions.I used to act like this but its really stupid.

Without casuals gaming wouldnt be as popular especially since it has some negativity in the media.

Nope, skyrocketing developement costs,crippling recessions and poor buisness decisions have had bigger effects this gen.Those have exaccerbated the trend of copy what the market leader does.

In a few ways we have a stronger industry than ever.

I wish people would stop using these stupid labels. Everyone is a casual gamer, it is a hobby. How can you be hardcore gaming exactly? What does that entail? That I play 40 hours a week? Sorry I have a job and college starts soon. I don't have the time to game 40 hours, and if I did I would probably have other things to take care of, like friends or meeting women or something else.

I love games, I love gaming, it has the potential to be the greatest art form and I love how it challenges me. I have been gaming since I was like 3. However I cannot fit into what a "hardcore gamer" entails. I don't think anyone really could either. In my book there are only gamers, I just happen to be a gaming affecinado, but they are still gamers too.

And lol at saying COD sucks. You play COD, you buy COD, just look at gamertags. All COD haters on here are huge hypocrites. COD is great, I don't see why people pretend to hate it on here so much. Stop trying to be cool on the internet.
