Who would you consider a 'hardcore' gamer?

Who would you consider a hardcore gamer?

For me it would be someone who plays and enjoys games of most genres and doesen't buy the same game every year *cough* Call of Duty *cough FIFA. And also someone who isn't put of a game buy graphics.

I think that anyone who insists on making the casual and hardcore distinction should be hung by their heels in a scorpion pit in front of a sign reading 'There Are Only Gamers'.

I don't know. Somebody who can finish Dodonpachi on one credit?

Not me in other words.

And if videogames are part of your personality.

This. Those terms are dumb. There has to be better ways to make a distinction.

would you prefer "vanilla" gamers and "Neapolitan" gamers?Allicrombie

They'd be better than the current terms we have. Doubt they'd be widely adopted, though. Most would probably struggle with "Neapolitan."

Since you can be hardcore and still suck at video games, it doesn't really mean much to be hardcore. Yes, you've played ever single release this last year, but since you can't get past the first level on Dark Souls I won't be impressed much. There are friends that only play fighting games and they kick butt at them, but I don't consider them a lesser gamer just because they don't play COD or Uncharted.Lostboy1224

I would consider hardcore pretty much someone who doesnt just play mainstream titles like Call of duty and/or casual games.

A person who:

is an expert gamer

comfortable with all genres basically the mains like FPS, RPG etc.

has an unbreakable bond with his games

has quite a knowledge all about games

is a master of at least 1 platform

A person like ME! Addicted!
