E3 was a blast, first of all! I skipped doing this blog 'cause I was watching E3...as I'm thinking you were! Mr. Iwatta said something almost word for word in the E3 press conference that was in my last blog!:D I finally got my1000th post on GS! I know it doesn't sound like anything big, but it is when u get 1/9th of your total posts in two days:P!

Part one of my two part series is going to be about hardcore gamers. Most hardcore gamers that I've met have around two things they like about games; they are either too easy, or they don't have a long enough single player mode. That's there main criteria for if they like a game or not (although graphics are also included).

So you can probably imagine what games are being excluded from even being THOUGHT of being bought by hardcore gamers. Sure a great few of the games are excluding aren't really good. But think about this, would you have bought wii Sports if it wasn't bundled with the wii? It doesn't have ANY single player mode (unless you consider single game mode single player). It is also not vary difficult, so why would you bother even buying it if it was a stand alone game?

But there is a third thing I like (and you do too) that hardcore gamers in my area overlook; fun. If a game has a long single player mode, but isn't fun, why would somebody buy it? Also games that need 4 players to fully enjoy need FRIENDS for you to have a fun time; ENVITE SOME FRIENDS OVER!!!

Sure lots of people that are critiquing Nintendo because they are making very easy games, with medium length story modes. But if you need around 4 players to have the most fun in a game; at least 1-2 of your friends that you invite over AREN'T hardcore gamers!!! So if they can just go over to your house, knowing that they can still play, and not just watch, than EVERYONE has fun! So Nintendo is living to its legacy, just not in the preferred way we would want it. I'm sorry if I didn't mention Microsoft or Sony in this blog, it is just 'cause I can't fit it all in one blog!!!

Wow!!! I'm defiantly getting better at this blogging thing!!! :D
