Yes. I like sports games. I like SSX and GTA. I can pick up RE4 and put it down after an hour. I don't feel the need to beat OoT in three days and I never nitpick over the most trivial problems. I have fun with my video games. I'm not hurting the market, am I? Oh, sure...these cool hardcore fellows think otherwise. Us casuals are killing the market. We are hated.

I'm here to tell you that I consider myself a casual gamer and I'm damn well proud of that.

Later.

 "Hardcores" play SSX and GTA aswell, theyre great games all-round theyre not the kind of games that hurt the market, unless the buyers intention is to buy GTA to "Sleep with a prostitute , kill her and get your money back" or "killing cops is fun" which lets face it kids think is cool, "Hardcore" or at least proper gamers of any level apreactiate it for the missions/driving Third person shooting and open-world.

 SSX isnt a main-stream sports game, I wouldnt of thought anyway.

Oh, but I thought anyone who played sports games was considered casual? I mean, that's what the so-called "hardcores" said.

You see, stamping stupid labels on video game fans as far as casul and hardcore go is a contradiction. This topic is already proving that.

Casuals don't play Zelda. Casuals see Zelda, look at link and think that game is for babies. And there are hardcore Madden players. You should go to Madden tournaments. Those guys play Madden all the time.

SSX had alot of effort put into it, and was generally out-standing in that particular sport, I think the "Casual" industry damaging games considered are Fifa , Madden , and the rest that just add a new game nearly every year, with 1 or 2 small features added (and gfx improvements) based on games these people play in real life anyway. Casual isnt a bad thing, the casuals that call gamers who play more in-depth games "Nerds" and shun them off for not wanting to play "Football virtual games" and think theyre the best thing ever ... works both ways ofcourse.

 And the "No life" comments made by designated "Casuals" dont help theyre case either.

I own a Neo Geo Aes, imported games, imported game boys, virtual boy, have beaten mike tysons punch out, i love space harrier, i still wish that the castlevania sotn for the xbox 360 was the Sega Saturn version, i deeply enjoy getting double star in everything in Chrono Trigger, i still play Starcraft every day on battle net. Hmm yet i consider myself a casual gamer to compared to some other people i know haha.

 P.S. Final Fantasy 7 still and always has sucked to me. FF6 > FF7

There's a difference between a hardcore gamer and a poser.
