Self proclaimed competitive or pro players is just another word for someone who simply takes video games too seriously.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Someone who doesn't devote their life to the game in question.

Commonly used by self-proclaimed pros to justify the amount of time sacrificed on a recreational activity.

Casual gamers are the reason video games are still alive.

Don't be ashamed.

There is nothing wrong with being a causal gamer. I play most of my games causally but sometimes I like a good challenge.

I only care about people being casual gamers, if it affects my Monster Hunter experience, which it does.
Evade +2 no longer being as useful as it use to be, no G-Rank, Armour values increased, ect. It just lowers the skill ceiling, which I know is rather elitist and try hard of me, but I like saying I am good at Monster Hunter and it actually meaning something.

You guys are bad because you are ruining the game industry, simplifying games and making them too easy. Seriously, you barely die in most single player games anymore, and if you do, you're a casual.

Casual gamers are saving the game industry. If devs listened to sweaty tryhards, sales would drop and burn.

Casual gamers = Best gamers.

The Flood definition of casual:

Stupid retarded asses who are killing the video game industry.

Real definition of casual:

People who have fun playing video games.


What manner of -blam!- up logic is this? So you're saying that competitive players don't play for fun as well?

Newsflash: EVERYONE plays video games for some kind of enjoyment or fun (excluding gold farmers and that -blam!-) no matter what "class" of gamer they are. Of course competitive players play for fun! Why the hell else would they play video games in the first place? Video games are an entertainment source and these players obviously find some kind of enjoyment in the game or why else would they play it? For the gamer, Video games don't yield anything valuable except entertainment in most cases.

The statement that "WELL WE CASUALS ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME TO HAVE FUN!!" is absurd and retarded.

I can't wait until every game becomes an easy over-simplified action game like COD because every developer is trying to get the casual COD audience!

If a man is not willing to die for something then he is unfit to live.

That's not what I think of a casual gamer. To me it's a person who mindlessly buys games because of hype, someone told them to, or the tv told them too. Someone who doesn't realize what they're promoting instead of playing games for themselves and seeing the vast variety of what you have to play. Mindless drone. I always tell my friends to play whatever they want to play or find interesting. I'm a big Mobile Suit Gundam fan and I still play Crossfire on my ps3 because it's what I like. Nobody plays it but I don't care.

Me too. then all the nerds can go elsewhere and video games can go back to what they were made to be.

Entertaining and fun.

You don't get it son. This isn't a mud hole, it's an operating table. And I'm the surgeon.

Non casuals and hardcore gamers are usually fat neckbeards who cant get laid.

My legit Killtrocity

Camping like a 'mouth breather'
If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

I just play to enjoy games on occasion, don't consider myself either "casual" or "competitive"

  • 11.29.2012 12:10 PM PDT

My troll sense is tingling.

Cas4life

I really don't see why so many people take an incredibly hateful approach to those that aren't as competitive.

intentionally left blank

You're not competitive, until you've raged about your quit ban.

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

Casual is the the new scrub.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

How is it not a casual game? Anyone can pick up the controller and become a top scorer.

You're deluded if you actually believe that.
