I think these terms are stupid. There can be mainstream games, but if I play Fifa all the time does that make me "hardcore" or "casual", because that game can be played in a fashion that would be associated with "hardcore" ( ie tactics, transfers) or can simply be played for fun

Exactly what I was thinking. I am a gamer enough of this elitist crap, a game is a game and its how you play it that counts.

Or on legendary. Or the last few challenges in challenge mode. FIFA can be nigh on impossible at times.

They have low self-esteem and they just label themselves as real gamers to make themselves feel better.

I consider myself an avid gamer, not hardcore or casual.

From my understanding, hardcore gamers are just missing out on some fun games because they're not "explodey" enough.

I dunno.

I guess im 'hardcore' but i like casual games like any other games, and i mostley play games for fun; i never dedicate enough time to be 'hardcore' at a single game.

So uh I dont know where I fit into this poll.

The way I see it, anyone that has signed up to a gaming forum has crossed the line and are no longer casual.

I wouldn't say that I am hardcore....I think addicted is a better word

I can easily go either way. Highly competative games, Tactical RPGs, and puzzle games often have me playing like a hardcore gamer, yet I love playing other games in a much more casual way.

In the end, I game for fun, and if a game becomes more like work than fun, I know I lost the reason that I game.

I enjoy the standard "Normal" difficulty campaigns, and alot of multiplayers. I dunno what you'd call me.

I guess "recreational". That what my "zone" is on Live, lol. I enjoy hardcore and casual games, but I only play for fun.

Nothing worse than bumping into a kid that is a "hardcore gamer" on the PSN or Xbox Live and listen to him talk smack like I care.
