Honestly, there's nothing more to the gaming community that pisses me more off than the whole hardcore/casual bullshit.Gonic wrote:Really? Was this casual gamers by any chance or hardcore gamers? Cause most fans I spoke to would of preferred some sort of platforming adventure game lol![]()
First gamers whine their medium is being condemned and not taken seriously as a medium, and as soon as the developers and publishers decide to open the market to a broader audience to make games more accessible and taken seriously as a medium, gamers whine that the whole gaming industry is only catering to casual gamers.
You are aware of the fact that, the more money they make from games like these, the more likely they'll release "hardcore" games, right? That this benefits ALL gamers alike when developers and publishers make money? "Hardcore" gaming is but a niche. Always has been, always will be.
Aside from that, I have, to this date, NEVER received ANY definition of "hardcore" or "casual" gamers when this debate has come up. Because I really would like to be able to identify myself with one of those groups, but NOONE ever gave me a reasonable explanation. So please, enlighten me, Gonic, what makes a hardcore gamer, and what makes a casual gamer.
With that out of the way - I'm not big into sports games, so I doubt I will get it. But I guess it's OK they're making this a series.
