Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Are people unable to understand the difference between not liking how games today are continuing to get easier and easier and being a gigantic ass? Christ, it's like you people try to demonize someone you don't agree with.

Oh wait.

Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

Jay, why you being mean to yourself?
I've never found "attention whore" to be all that much of an insult, and it amuses me that people say it about me as though I should be mortally offended by it.

I love attention, guys. Attention is great! Most people feel the same way.

But that's another discussion for another time.


I don't mind if you like attention but I won't call you an attention whore or some other variation of it. That OK?
You can call me or not call me whatever you like, love. I don't mind.

None of you are hardcore gamers, I probably would be the closest one to a hardcore gamer if you take into account my prior gaming "adventures". I was ranked for 1v1ing on MW3 on When they had a ranked portion, they moved it though and I was ranked 9th in North America on here, if you want me to prove it just look at my gamertag here and go off of that and look at the rankings on either channel or just look for a video by sin bulletproof on SLB, he's on my FL and I actually trained him.

Don't think I'm arrogant about that, because I'm not. I only bring it up in threads like this.



Just to make you guys mad.

It makes me laugh because you actually "trained" someone to be good in a video game. Don't take offense, though.
Well, it was on a national level...
Also, it wasn't a straight up ," Come join my training program". I normally join matches and play a regular game in pub and after a while I just give a huge mass message out offering 800 MS points to anyone that can beat me in a 1v1 (it never happens because most players are casuals and I used to be continentally ranked). I normally beat the people that join pretty badly, around 20-5 is my average game messing around and quite a few of them try to add me or try to get me to teach them how to get better. So I just begin playing with them more and more and over time they get better but with Sin Bulletproof, he 1v1ed me more than ten times a day and took it pretty seriously.

If then pen is mightier than the sword, then why do actions speak louder than words?

I was a bit late to the gaming party because when I was small my parents always got me game systems a generation behind. As such when the SNES came out that was when I got my SEGA Genesis.

I don't think of myself as a casual or hardcore. The way I see it I'm in the gray area. I play a lot of AAA titles and dab in some of the larger indie titles such as FTL and Braid. But I'm not one of the gamers that believes that not holding an interest in lesser known titles make a person casual scum.

The title of hardcore gamer has drastically changed ever since the FPS war started.

It used to be a respectful title.

So because people haven't played older games their not hardcore?
I'm not sure what you mean could someone clarify?

blarg.

Being good at a game and playing games for a long time don't really have much in common unless the 'hardcore' gamer in question is both.

I always understand hardcore gamers as people who simply play games a lot and understand how to completely appreciate what they're playing. But then people dumb the term down when they call people who play "competitively" hardcore gamers, and I really don't know what the hell a hardcore gamer is now.

I like to call myself a hardcore gamer but I don't want everyone thinking I'm a competitive douche that only plays multiplayer. Playing a single-player game no longer qualifies as being "hardcore" anymore, apparently.

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

So using your logic, Car Enthusiasts that were around to drive the first cars ever made (assuming they were still alive) would have a better opinion than Car Enthusiasts today?

  • 01.08.2013 3:07 AM PDT

I agree, completely. I was playing games before some gamers today were even born. Yet so many are easy to say hey guyz I'm the best at this video game 1337. When really, who cares? Nostalgia glasses on/ I miss the adventure collection genre anyways. Fps is stale and boring now.

I cbf reading this thread but ill just say this.



Hardcore gamer: someone who plays LOTS of games.

Casual gamer: someone who plays games casually when they have the time.

Anyway I agree with the op.

I find it hard to care whether a player is hardcore or casual because... it's a damn video game.
