[QUOTE="CentricStorm"][QUOTE="charizard1605"]And are you implying that console gaming is casual gaming?charizard1605

Implying? It's factual.

Uh huh. So THIS is the PC gamers' elitism that everyone refers to... I'm sorry bud, but wake up: console gaming is as hardcore (whatever that even means) as PC gaming.

Hardcore normally means - in the case of singleplayer titles - massively in-depth and more advanced/difficult, whilst in the case of multiplayer games, hardcore usually refers to having a significantly large skill gap between new and veteran players. Most console games are completely contrary to this, with many singleplayer games becoming incredibly simplified, and many multiplayer games on consoles being designed for casual players, with assistance (auto aim), significant simplification (basic game modes), and the removal of skill requirement (less recoil, lower bullet spread, slower pace).

One thing that attracts to me FPS's are unique and crazy guns.nervmeister

Maybe you should try Crysis then. The multiplayer TAC Launcher should be 'crazy' enough for you, if portable tactical nukes are your thing. Certainly beats the tiny nuclear gun in Fallout 3 that failed to copy Crysis, and definitely beats the pathetic one-button-press nuke you don't even see or shoot yourself in Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer.

Microsoft abandoned hardcore gamers long ago.

Really? When was that?

When they started pushing their own console trying to get gamers off their PCs, and started applying the infamous "Horse armor" mentality.

Exactly.

And are you implying that console gaming is casual gaming?charizard1605

Yeah, I know. How about some new IP's, Microsoft? Halo, Fable and Gears can only sustain a company's lineup for so long, ya know. Incidentally, what's that second game in your sig? It's Fable 3, right?charizard1605

Microsoft would leave the core gaming market in an instant if the money moved elsewhere. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are all the same greed-fuelled businesses, and I pity their fanboys for actually believing that these companies are doing anything other than milking them for all they're worth.

I agree, perhaps if Kinect doesn't do so well, they will shift back to their main market again.SolidTy

Of course, yet the Microsoft fanboys will still rush back to donate their money to Microsoft and its shareholders.

Although yes, that Crytek game looks promising, like you said. If only we knew more about it...charizard1605

Crytek are already succumbing to the casual gaming lure. Crysis 2 is going to be an incredibly simplified and casual-based game, being nothing in comparison to the original Crysis.

anyone who says that the PS2 wasnt THE greatest game system EVER needs help.
bryn8150

As soon as someone points out that the PS2 has lasted 2 generations, people start hailing it as the most successful system ever? The PC has lasted, and will in fact continue to last through every gaming generation.

[QUOTE="mackey25"]

[QUOTE="CentricStorm"][QUOTE="nhh18"]

they are crazed fanboyson both sides but most hardcore gamers own all 3 consoles.

Did you just refer to console gamers as 'hardcore'?

So whats makes you a more hardcore gamer? Because you game on a pc :roll:

I never claimed that I was hardcore. Compared to competitive PC games like Counter Strike or Quake, every console game is extremely casual with only a fraction of the skill requirement.
