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.
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. :(


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 is the way of Jay.

Then why can't you "Live and let live" people who have a different opinion to you about how casuals are ruining the industry?

Fail logic is fail.

Because opinions aren't equally valid. Just because Person A and Person B have different opinions, doesn't mean they're equally right.

For example, "ruining the industry" isn't grounded in any kind of reality. There's more variety and creativity in gaming than we've seen ever before. We're finding new ways to play and new ways to play with other people. A growing audience is bringing much-needed diversity to the world of game development.

But Co M4N is mad at CoD and Angry Birds, so his opinion matters just as much.
Reminds me of a great bit by Dara O'Briain, who is a fantastic Irish comedian, where he discusses the ridiculous idea that for the sake of "balance", we need to consider the opinions of people who are uneducated, ignorant or just plain wrong as somehow equally as valid as the opinions of (for example) scientists who are at the top of their respective fields.

Not all opinions are equally valid. Someone who says that the gaming industry is being ruined forever by people who play Angry Birds obviously doesn't have a leg to stand on, whereas someone who points out that people playing Angry Birds aren't preventing anyone from pouring hundreds of hours into innovative indie titles or award-winning RPGs is quite clearly backed up by reality.

The reason I haven't responded to anyone in this thread who's gotten mad at me for my opinion is that I already know I'm right, and I feel no need to further convince myself.


You are such an ignorant mother -blam!-, I know this thread was all to get people mad and to get attention from complete strangers to make yourself feel like people acknowledge you. If you are going to make a thread like this at least reply to people that put up a good counter argument. If not go attention whore somewhere else.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Games in general are dumbed down for a wussier generation. Remember Contra? Didn't have your infinite continues like we do these days. A -blam!--ton of lives, maybe, but not infinite.

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


Totally feel you on that.

Hardcore anything is sad and annoying. Just enjoy your freaking hobby without needing to poop on others for not being as good as you.

One time this guy was getting betrayed so I went after the person who was trying to betray him. Then the guy who was getting betrayed comes and starts to shoot me. Is this the way of the casual?

What's funnier is that supposedly, they determine what makes a game competitive. What's also funny is the conception of the word "casual" in gaming terms.

I still can't get a concrete definition because it differs with each big-egoed bigot that calls themselves a competitive gamer.


That's why it's stupid for anybody to ever care one way or another. I am competitive in the sense I play to win the game (hello) Am I hardcore? No. Am I casual? No. I play video games. That's that.

And that's how I feel. This whole segregation thing is what sparks elitism. No one is better than anyone else here, and in the end, we all bleed, so what's it matter.

Enjoyment...?

Yeah you're right. That's why I don't care about doing what I did when I was in TFS. The truth is the truth. It's just people like the OP who like to overreact (or pretend to, I never take her seriously) to minor things that mean absolutely nothing.

Casual gamers will have fun regardless of how much effort went into making a game.

I don't find that to be entirely true. According to a couple of competitive gamers, I'm considered a casual. By your logic, I don't care about how much "effort" is put into a game. I'll just have fun. No, that's not true.

I sure as hell don't have fun trying to play Call of Duty, and personally I wasn't entirely satisfied with the last Crash Bandicoot game to come out.

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.

There is a thing between hardcore and casual. It's not one or the other.
