But the best thing is that you like videogames

Do you play gears 1 or 2?

It takes a whole lot more time, effort and dedication to play FPS games like I described. Reading comics is quite different.

Delta probably will agree with this example

If We have a comic reader that only reads Hulk comics, will you think he is a hardcore comic book reader? or will you think he is an avid Hulk reader.

I personally don’t consider hiw a hardcore comic book reader because He only read Hulk comics, yes he might be a hardcore Hulk reader, but by no means He is a hardcore in general comic book reader, He will probably don’t know anything about the other heroes and this is were I will have my reservation of calling him a hardcore comic book reader.

The same goes for gamers that only play shooter games.

But like I said, this is my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.

Even if someone only has a 360, and only plays Action/Shooters and FPS games, you don’t think they’re a hardcore gamer?

I would say it’s quite hardcore to spend sleepless nights to improve your place on the leaderboards. I’d say it’s quite hardcore to spend hours improving just one specific thing you feel is effecting your overall ability to perform. I’d say it’s quite hardcore to spend several days working with your clan improving communications, team work, learning the maps, and practicing tactics.

Even if they only play one genre, how is that not hardcore?

“How can someone call himself a “hardcore” videogameR”

Badong

How can someone call himself a “hardcore” videogames, When they ONLY own a X-BOX 360 and ONLY play shooting games?

I mean, I really don’t get it.

It will be like saying that you are a “Hardcore” rock fan, but you only listen rock from this decade.

Or calling yourself an Oasis fan, When you only have listen to the Wonderwall song

I went really out of my way when I purchased my PS3,
I made my own custom videogame computer and I spent $450.00 on a fucking video card
I have a fucking WII, a X-BOX 360, a N64, a NDS, a fucking Sega Game gear and even a fucking Sega Dreamcast, But just for the record. I don’t think SEGA is great and I’m not a SEGA fanboy.
On my fucking video game computer I have mugens, console emulator (for the systems I don’ have) and arcade emulators, THAT I PLAY.
My PS3 is backwards compatible, so I can play my old PS1 and PS2 games and I DO PLAY THEM
I still have my favorite games from the old X-BOX and I PLAY THEM.
I play sometimes the game gear and the Dreamcast I don’t really touch it because lets be real, you can only play so much Crazy Taxi , plus nobody wants that shit

But anyway I do have all those systems so I can play video games and I don’t play only shooting games. I play RTS, Turn based strategy, RPG, Racing, Puzzle, Horror, Music, Fighting, Side scrolling, Shooting and Sports games.

I don’t close myself to only type of video game, because seriously, what’s the fun of that?

And even so with all this crap I have and all this type of videogames I play, there is people out there waaaaaaaaay more “hardcore” than me.

So yes, someone might like shooting games, a lot, but If they only play one type of video game, they are not “hardcore”, if they only play in one console they are not “hardcore”, if they don’t take a shower, eat or have a social life outside of the network they are just obsessed and need mental help ASAP.

Thanks for your time and keep playing
