Subject: Today's "hardcore" gamers make me laugh.

When you talk about a hardcore gamer, it depends on whether you put the focus on the word hardcore or on the word gamer. "Hardcore" gamers are young poop in a sock gamers who take modern FPS games too seriously. They put too much focus on being hardcore and not enough on being gamers. Personally I find it a sad existence to only play shooters when there are a variety of different types of video game content out there.

Every post whining about the weekly update delays it by 5 minutes.

nobody cares about what you group yourself into......

as long as you enjoy games as a hobby then you are a gamer.....


HEY LOOK I BEAT DARKSOULS AS A SL1 IN 5 HOURS DURRRR

you are no better or worse than the single mom that plays farmville of the jock that plays cod

each of these people play the game that they like and it has very little to no effect on you.

Halo lost a whole lot of fans when they removed the 1-50 system.

No u

So let me get this straight, you're basically saying that anyone who didn't play games when the older games were released aren't hardcore gamers? You're also saying that just because someone plays mainstream games, it means they're not hardcore? Sure.

I knew you were bad at trolling Jay, but at least try a little bit. any person with a small amount of intelligence should be able to see that every thread you make is a troll thread.

Yeah who would've thought removing a good reason to get better would do that.

The term "gamer" is nothing more than a mere title. It's only a hobby, not a profession. I don't see the big deal. It's like the term "girl gamer". We don't go around calling guys who cook, male chefs, do we?

With that said, I only consider "hardcore" gamers to be people who put a lot of time into gaming. While "casual" gamers are people who only play here and there. Everyone got their own definitions though. I don't tend to put titles on something so insignificant anyways. Like I said, it's only a hobby.

People didn't like that. It was better when it was split between ranked and social playlists.

Funny story.

Games should be catered to hardcore gamers because they're the only who care about the finer details and are the ones who appreciate quality games.

Casual gamers will have fun regardless of how much effort went into making a game. Like people who don't see the difference between Inglorious Basterds and Step Up.

I can see how someone who is incapable of understanding the point of any thread I make would feel angry and confused, and therefore come to conclusion that every thread I make is a troll thread.

Beyond feeling sorry for you, there's really not much more I can do. :(

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CHROME.

My issue with "hardcore" gamers these days is that they are too picky with their games. Every little thing becomes a big issue and they suddenly don't like the game anymore, and it is deemed "unplayable" because of it. If you were a hardcore gamer, or even a real gamer, you'd learn to adapt to it, and overcome, or deal with the "issue" otherwise, you're just a pissy casual game player.

Because that was the best way to do it. This credit/point system is annoying. I like to win and don't want people just coming in a game just to suck a nut and not care.

What the hell are you PMSing about?

  • 01.07.2013 6:56 PM PDT

Casual sounds like such a filthy word. Social gamers sounds better.

Get off your high horse. You made an insulting thread that generalized entire groups of people, and you posted it in a way you knew would get people's jimmies rustled.

This whole thread is basically you getting angry over imaginary titles people have created to classify themselves. Besides, your OP is completely inaccurate anyways, as no "hardcore" gamer insults people who just play say Angry Birds. I dont' even think you understand how "hardcore" and "casual" are used for gaming, especially in this forum.

Yet you didn't address the two points I did make. Look at the first paragraph.

Sucks when you get the highest rank and you don't have to do anything. I can sit in a corner and still get to SR130.

>summarised my point several times ITT, including within the OP

What legitimate response is there other than "you missed my point"? I can't exactly have a discussion with someone who thinks we're having a totally different discussion.

Just an FYI, MLG specifically goes after games that have mainstream appeal. If they cared about having the best competitive shooter on the circuit, they would probably have Counterstrike.

Exactly. I put up games where I go 25-2 and such but the guys who lost us the game ranks up just the same.

MLG is not hardcore, it's tryhard attention-whoring galore.
