Popular Post DaivRules Posted February 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2015 I play my Vita for at least 20 minutes a day. I'm a hardcore gamer. Ask my wife. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShaka Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hmm, I don't think that is about AAA or indies, IMO is about to play/beat challenging games, let's say, a very casual gamer couldn't get all the collectibles in Guacamelee (indie game), or beat the Challenge of Gods in God of war 1. Hardcore trophy hunter would be to plat everygame and 100% of completion. hmm, because they Buy every game? Hmmm Idk, many people buy and buy games because gaming is his/her hobby, some beat them all, some just the campaign, hard to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post edu_gamer Posted February 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2015 Is it someone who buys every editions of a console ? -That a rich person, or a collecionist. Or plays AAA games and ignores indies ? -I heavily doubt ignoring indies makes you Hardcore, I'll say its the other way around. Or maybe someone who obtains platinum of eveygame he plays ? Thats a dedicated trophie hunter, nothing to do with been "Hardcore" I think that a Hardcore gamer is just someone that loves gaming, haves it as one of their most important hobbies, enjoys most of the genres and is well informed about the industry, I don't think you have to be amazing playing games to be "Hardcore". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful84 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) IMO, I believe its someone who plays games as an active hobby and wouldn't be caught dead playing some Disney licensed P.o.S. (that more than likely they have zero interest in) just for the sake of increasing their gamer score.

antithesis Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) A hardcore gamer is someone with a lifelong obsession with gaming. Someone who loves gaming like a first-bon son. Someone who lives, breathes, eats and shits gaming. Someone who will die with a controller in their hands. Someone who will be buried in a mountain of games. That my friends is a hardcore gamer. Anything less is not good enough. Edited February 4, 2015 by ant1th3s1s 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post damon8r351 Posted February 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) A gamer is someone who has made a hobby of and derives enjoyment from playing video games. A hardcore gamer is one of those annoying little shits that are overly worried about their self-image as a gamer, makes it a point to make fun of others for what games they play and how much or how little they play them, and believes in the false superiority of one particular gaming platform or brand over the other and derides other people for their choice of platform. I.E., "The PC Master Race", people who use "casual" as a noun in reference to another gamer, people that wouldn't be "caught dead" playing a certain type of game, system fanboys, etc. Edited February 4, 2015 by damon8r351 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A hardcore gamer is a term used by people who play a variety of games, usually for multiple hours a day, to differentiate themselves to other, in their mind lesser, gamers. In reality a hardcore gamer does not exist. We're all just gamers trying to have fun. Our reasons to be a gamer are irrelevant to everyone but ourselves.

Grample_Gust Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A hardcore gamer is defined by their commitment to gaming. It has nothing to do with the console, or the games he plays. If someone plays games all the time because its their favorite thing to do. Then they are a hardcore gamer. Simple as that. Close up the thread. Argument over.

DaisyVilla102 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The term "hardcore gamer" is subjective. In general, whoever is defining it is doing so relative to how they view themselves as a gamer. So, the search for "The" answer will be fruitless... unless you just want to watch an argument unfold.

merciful84 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yup, "CAUGHT DEAD" because people who play games that they have no interest in *cough*Hannah Montana*cough* but are easy platinums/100% do exist and personally I don't take them seriously. Oh and if you're going to call someone out on something, please have the balls to quote them personally on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neputyunu Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A gamer is someone who has made a hobby of and derives enjoyment from playing video games.

I.E., "The PC Master Race", people who use "casual" as a noun in reference to another gamer, people that wouldn't be "caught dead" playing a certain type of game, system fanboys, etc. ^ This. For the "PC-Masterrace" a consolegamer is a casualgamer. Because with our stupid controllers we cant play serious, you know? And our stupid consoles are weaker than Masterraces toaster. They think PS4 and XBO (which have the strongest APU ever created) is based upon smartphonehardware... Also we would all die if PSN, XBL and Steam would get connected, because we would get farmed because PC-Masterrace is so hardcore, that they need to farm consoleros due the lack of skill to beat other Masterraceplayers. #noob #consolegay #dirtypeasant #casual #yourmother ... ... These Retards forget years ago what gaming really is about. Most of them are playing just AAA, because Graphics. And... Your PC can run Witcher3 (the new Crysis1) on Ultra? Buddyyyy, you are soooo #hardcore ! (With 3.4GHz i7, 8GB RAM and GTX770 you get 30fps on HIGH-settings and FullHD!) And for Kids, you are a hardcoregamer when you play every CoD and tell others how nice their mother is. And dont forget to flame every girl you might maybe encounter, so she can go crying to newspapers. Seriously, in my country, there is no week the newspaper "DerStandard" isnt wirting about "poor and offended" females. And now we have this feminism bullshit and it seems because of that I cant import japanese games because its supposedly oversexualized pervert bullshit ... parcels got multiple times intercepted... tsk... And in Australia they banned GTA5... holy craparonie... whats wrong with the society? It doesnt matter which definition you take, all of them lead you to the same short answer: They are just idiots, ruining fun for others, directly or indirectly. Sorry if I offended someone of you, buddyyys But deep in my heart im just pessimistic about humanity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBloodmoney Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The only 'standard' is that if someone describes themselves as a 'hardcore gamer' they are likely a total chud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I think 'hardcore gamer' is very subjective. Some see it as getting a completion percentage of 100%, others as getting as many ultra rare platinum trophies, or gaming for 15 hours a day, etc. Something like this: LOL that episode was hilarious.

No. That person would be an economic moron. Or plays AAA games and ignores indies ? No. Any person who ignores a segment of games simply because of a classification can't be "hardcore". Or maybe someone who obtains platinum of eveygame he plays ? No. It might work as a sufficient condition, but it's certainly not a necessary one.

funboy1246 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) i dont think fanboys can't be defined as hardcore gamers as someone said above. they are hardcore for that partcular system, but not in general. i think a true hard core gamer is someone who plays as many games as they can get their hands on regardless of the system, myself am i "wannabe" hardcore gamer. if finances allowed i would have every system availble and every game for it that i could get my grubby hands on. alas i only have a ps3 soon to have a ps4 Edited February 4, 2015 by funboy1246 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
