Dear Casual gamer,

I am better than you at games. I have faster reflexes, I have more skill, I could kill you in any multiplayer shooter of your choice, anytime, anyday. I can beat System Shock 2 on the Impossible difficulty. You cannot. I can beat Resident Evil 4 on professional in 8 hours and 11 minutes. You cannot. I can play games that you do not have the skill or devotion to play. I am a better gamer than you, and I have no life.

Dear Casual games,

I will not play you. I will not play Zack and Wiki, I will not play WiiPlay, I will not play Dewy's Adventure, I will not play LBP and I will not play ****ing Viva Pinata. I am a hardcore gamer, and you casual games to not appeal to me in the slightest. And I have no life.

Dear Nintendo,

I will not buy a Wii. I will not stand on a piece of plastic and have it tell me what a fatass I am. I will not wave a plastic phallus erratically to make my game character do want I want him or her or it to do. I will not buy a system from a company that no longer thinks that I am important. I will not buy a system from a company whose biggest game at E3 was not a game at all, but rather a Fatass Accusation Device (fad).

I do not have to like or accept casual gamers, I do not have like or understand casual games. Am I close minded? Hell yes. Am I "slowing down innovation"? If innovation is a hunk of plastic that lets me know that I need to excercise, then hell yeah I am slowing down innovation.

Am I alone? Hell no! There are many gamers like me who would rather play Elder Scrolls than Dewy's Adventure.

I am not alone; I am part of a market. And Nintendo is ignoring us, and as such I will ignore them. To hell with your casual games!

I am a Hardcore gamer dammit! and I have no life

You =/= Hardcore gamer.

You = Snobby Elitist.

jetthrovegas

You say Elitist like it's a bad thing....

It means you have a blindly love of your own abuility like you're a god. That's not a good thing...

I do not blindly love my own ability. I love my own ability because I can see it plainly and clearly. I am an excellent gamer, and I am proud of my abilities. So what? Is it bad to take pride in your own ability now?

It's a bad thing to refuse to like a company purly on the fact that they're making a couple of games for a crowd that isn't you.

Go back and focus on my first line...

If a snob is someone who says that he is better than others in a particular area (in this case, gaming) then fine, I'm a snob. BFD.

I am an elitist also, and I'm prejudiced against casuals. Now what?

Pride is defined as an exaggerated positive evaluation of oneself, often based on a devaluation of others. It results in a kind of attachment to oneself and aversion to others.

No, pride is a good thing. Pride in ones accomplishments and abilities is central to the human ego and mentality, and there is nothing wrong with it. Ihave pride in the things I can do in video games. So what?

I will not respect another gamer unless he is my equal or better.

Dear "Hardcore gamer"

I don't care that you are better then me at certain games. Unlike you I have a life, I have other things to take care of instead of playing WOW for two days straight without washing. I enjoy going out making money having sex with women and keeping myself in shape. Like you I can beat games like system shock on its hardest level, I beat halo onits hardest mode andI also beat Ikaruga. However I don't brag to people about it cause I don't live in a cyber world when I turn my console off. I also like to take my time with my games. I don't find enjoyment in beating a game within a day. In the end you may think you are better then me within certain video games but I'm sure if I saw you on the street I would smack the hell out of you and you would cry the same way you cried the day you were born; that is if you ever leave your house. Take care.

Wonderful rebuttal. Personal attacks always work as an effective counterattack when there is no other counterattack to be made.

Your entire original post was a personal attack. Fail.

Not all of Nintendo's games are casual games, and not all casual games are bad. Metroid has always been awesome, and the main line of Mario games can have some very difficult achievements. And RE4 is godly on the Wii controls.

From a certain point of view I do agree with some of what you said, but the Wii can be a good secondary console to have. I'm not a casual gamer, but I'm not really hardcore either...I'm somewhere in between, but I almost always end up with all major consoles each generation so I can play all of the good games, even if the main focus of a console isn't my personal taste.

My attack was not personal. It was general; with respect to the general casual gaming population.

oh im sorry was that too mean? how about this then i consider myself to be a hardcore gamer i play Halo i absolutly love MGS ive played all the way the RE4 and every zelda game since the OOT and i completly rock at SSBM and yet when i have a party nowadays everybody including my friends who love the same things as i do absolutley love games like wii sports yeah we still break out halo and gears of war but everybody including the girls (whom i'm assuming you have never had one in your house before) get involved with jumping up and down when they make a hit or score point in tennis so what im saying is these new and original games actually can appeal to everybody and how dare nintendo try and save themselves from going the way of SegaSerraph105

You will not be able to play games like OoT and RE4 in 20 years, thanks to the casualization of the industry. Congratulations. Your 250$ has contributed to the dumbing down of the games industry.

ummm video games started out as a casual experience. Your acting like casuals are taking something from you? casual buy the most games because they dont focus on one type of game. They'll buy CC and then get diddy kong racing. Unlike you who would probably spend his whole day playing UT at some lan party

Absolutely NO ONE who has beaten it would belittle it like that. Go to the real Halo forums on Bungie.net and talk to members of the 7th Column, TRUE hardcore Halo players. They would eat you alive if you said that.

would rather play Elder Scrolls than Dewy's Adventure.jetthrovegas

By Elder Scrolls, I surely hope that you mean Daggerfall. If not, there's no way you're worthy of calling yourself a hardcore gamer. The audience that oblivion was targeted at simply couldn't be more casual. And don't use the lame 'but I installed the ui fixing mod'. No amount of modding will ever be able to fix that steaming pile of **** which symbolises the end of any hope for a true sequel to the original Fallout games. It's nothing short of anact of rape that Bethesda isgoing tocommit to the name, seeing how they had no qualms about labeling Oblivion an RPG.

Why hate the casual gamer or show your superiority against them. If you play 24X7 no doubt you will be better that anyone who plays simple games occasionly for fun. I don't know, but if you play any outdoor games or not, but to don't see any professional athlete sending a letter for people who play sports for fun ??

And Nintendo is ignoring us, and as such I will ignore them. To hell with your casual games!

I agree with the above point, there is no way I am buying that console

sorry bout that my internet went down for a min. anyways i have not contributed to the dumbing down of videogames because eventually these casual gamers will want to pick up these much more hardcore games which is a part of nintendos ultimate a, if a long ways off, plan so it because of these games that i will be able to play these types of games in 20 years time

would rather play Elder Scrolls than Dewy's Adventure.jens_1

By Elder Scrolls, I surely hope that you mean Daggerfall. If not, there's no way you're worthy of calling yourself a hardcore gamer. The audience that oblivion was targeted at simply couldn't be more casual. And don't use the lame 'but I installed the ui fixing mod'. No amount of modding will ever be able to fix that steaming pile of **** which symbolises the end of any hope for a true sequel to the original Fallout games. It's nothing short of anact of rape that Bethesda isgoing tocommit to the name, seeing how they had no qualms about labeling Oblivion an RPG.

I would like to say you just owned him

he still hasnt put up any proof of his hardcoreness, and every time he is asked to show proof he ignores it, so basically hes just blowing out his ass right now, which is strange, cause i heard he usually likes it the other way....

I consider myself to be a hardcore gamer.

I always thought being a harcore gamer was knowing the history of gaming and how the industry works. I always thought being a hardcore gamer was enjoying games, regardless of the target audience. For intance, I like to play Halo and I like to play Nintendogs. Why should I limit myself as a gamer to only "hardcore" games?

i myself am not a pc gamer, so i cant say how good/bad my test results are. I play an array of things, from viva pinata to final fantasy to halo. you name it, i would probably play it at least once. the only thing im not a fan of is racing games, i just cant get into them.

I've been gaming since I was 4. That was in 1981. I'm 30 now, AND I'm female. Personally I think that makes me more hardcore than 99% of the chumps on here. ;)

Actually, I don't care for the labels. I'm just a gamer. I play games because they are fun. Not once in the TC's original post did that word come up. If you're playing games to stroke your ego, you don't deserve to be called a gamer.

You sir, are more of a true gamer than anyone who claims to be hardcore.

You still really are just a video gamer, on top of a video gamer who is a graphic whore and elitist. unless you cross over from video games into table top games like D&D, WoD, Warharmmer, Shogun, Puerto Rico.

To truly be a "hard core gamer" you need to play more than just video games.

Dear Casual gamer,

I am better than you at games. I have faster reflexes, I have more skill, I could kill you in any multiplayer shooter of your choice, anytime, anyday. I can beat System Shock 2 on the Impossible difficulty. You cannot. I can beat Resident Evil 4 on professional in 8 hours and 11 minutes. You cannot. I can play games that you do not have the skill or devotion to play. I am a better gamer than you.

Dear Casual games,

I will not play you. I will not play Zack and Wiki, I will not play WiiPlay, I will not play Dewy's Adventure, I will not play LBP and I will not play ****ing Viva Pinata. I am a hardcore gamer, and you casual games to not appeal to me in the slightest.

Dear Nintendo,

I will not buy a Wii. I will not stand on a piece of plastic and have it tell me what a fatass I am. I will not wave a plastic phallus erratically to make my game character do want I want him or her or it to do. I will not buy a system from a company that no longer thinks that I am important. I will not buy a system from a company whose biggest game at E3 was not a game at all, but rather a Fatass Accusation Device (fad).

I do not have to like or accept casual gamers, I do not have like or understand casual games. Am I close minded? Hell yes. Am I "slowing down innovation"? If innovation is a hunk of plastic that lets me know that I need to excercise, then hell yeah I am slowing down innovation.

Am I alone? Hell no! There are many gamers like me who would rather play Elder Scrolls than Dewy's Adventure.

I am not alone; I am part of a market. And Nintendo is ignoring us, and as such I will ignore them. To hell with your casual games!

I am a Hardcore gamer dammit!

sSubZerOo

LOL the people your speaking to on this forum are anything but, no casual gamer would come on to a forum to try to voice their opinion because they feel too insecure with their purchase.

i dont agree im a casual gamer

I agree with everything you said. Wii gaming is not true gaming. I will never buy a Wii because it simply the opposite direction of gaming I want to play. I think it's also sad that people who say the Wii has got AAA's like Mario, Zelda, SSMB, Mario Kart, etc. Those are the SAME f***ing games as before, but now with *slightly* improved graphics and gameplay. I mean come on Nintendo show us the real innovation in gaming not some damn balance board.

no prob. i shouldve been more clear in the first place anyway, i made it sound like i was against gay people, but im not :P. just those who act all macho and stuff but are secretly gay.
