streotype about nintendo?

[Skelletonike]

What people call hardcore gamers and casual gamers is mostly b/s.... For example, I know this one guy, he's one hell of a hardcore gamer, he spends all his days playing eroges, he's one sick pervert (and someone that lacks social life even more than me) but well, he is a hardcore gamer in his field of... 'expertise'...

Seeing people going on and on about casual and hardcore gamming everyday is annoying... Some kid plays CoD and I play Dragon Quest, he kills whatever people he wants and I kill monsters...That doesn't mean the kid is a hardcore gamer, just because he prefers games of a certain kind won't make him a hardcore gamer,
From my point of view a hardcore gamer is someone that takes gamming to the next level, tries to do every single possible thing that game lets, pretty much a gamer that goes for 100% completed save files in a game... Taking that into account, you can be a hardcore gamer with any kind of game, it's not a genre that makes you hardcore, but rather the way you play a game... I for one try to complete the most I can in a game, but I usually get around 90% at most and I'm not bothered to replay a game again just to unlock or see everything (in case of an rpg for example, it'd be the same as having all weapons, armors, secret characters, all quests and side-quests done, etc etc)...

I really find it stupid how people biase players according to what they play... Seesh... =S
*Finished rant*

Anyway... Why do people always go into fights about Sony vs Nintendo in this forum?

If you guys really think that playing an fps is mature, you should try joining the military and doing it for real then will see what childish nonsense those are compared to real life. Games are just an escape, they let you save a princess, participate in armed combat, play pro sports or anything else all from the safety of your home. The only thing that can really determine if a game is for kids is the difficulty factor, not the gore sex or murder content.

Why do Ninty fanboys like to whine so much?

because they haven't experienced hardcore games for hardcore gamers, such as ourselves.

Ah there was me thinking it was because they were overgrown children, who think saving princesses is better than shooting some modern international terrorists. Republicanism FTW lads.

actually its because of gamers that think "shooting some modern international terrorists" is the only way to game, we gamers cant game in peace.
also Call of Duty games exist on Wii & DS, & in the future Wii-U & 3DS (there not sony & microsoft exclusive) so i don't see you're point for that comment.

its like gamers play other consoles(ps3, 360) & every other game(not by nintendo) on nintendo consoles call of duty, conduit, medal of honer, no more heroes, resident evil, ect. become invisible to them & only the nintendo made games mario, & wii sports is what they see.

I have no ideia what you're talking about. *fixed*

 

[duel]

What's the definition of a "hardcore game"? Brutally killing people in FPS games? Or was this all trolling? I can't tell whether's someone's trying to make people angry or is just plain stupid or ignorant of the Wii game library and game content to call people children over playing Wii games.

The TC is just enjoying himself with this entertainment of a thread.

They'll complain about no respawn points.

It's ironic that this thread was posted on a site filled with children.

Alright kiddo.

Most members are 14+. There are children around, and people stupid enough to be children, but a majority are teens or people in their 20's.

No, they're not. For the record, I'm 19.

That made me crack up. Yes, people stereotype Nintendo a lot. "Oh. DS. Is that the 3D one? It looks dumb. There isn't Call of Duty on it is there? It must be crappy."

>Complain about stereotyping.
>Proceed to stereotype an entire group of gamers.

No, they're not. For the record, I'm 19.

So that makes you not a kid? I mean c'mon, you can't even drink yet legally.

For the record I'm 18 but I don't go around throwing the term kid (well, not seriously).

There are a lot of games that involving "shooting international terrorists". You're stereotyping as though Call of Duty is what everyone thinks about. He was clearly talking about Rainbow Six Vegas.

Also, the CoD Wii ports are rather downgraded. Graphics are worse, there's less content, and there's less features. The DS ones aren't anywhere near close to the HD versions.

Also, as said before, CoD games for Nintendo consoles are inferior to their HD counterparts. Medal of Honor isn't as good, No More Heroes is great but also has a HD version, and Resident Evil 5 wasn't even on the Wii, there was just a port of RE4 and some rail shooters.

Haix. Just face it. No matter how many shooters blah blah so called 'hardcore' stuff Nintendo has, minority will still regard it as kiddie. It's always like that on websites,

 

[Erdnaxela]

What's the definition of a "hardcore game"?

Casual : Someone who play video games for fun.
Hardcore : Someone who play for competitions.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Casual : Someone who play video games for fun.
Hardcore : Someone who play for competitions.

No, it's not.

Casual: Someone who plays games without much skill, knowledge, or pursuit of gaming becoming a large hobby.
Hardcore: Someone with a dedicated foot in gaming and usually have it as their main or one of their largest hobbies.

 

[Depravo]

What's the definition of a "hardcore game"?

That depends entirely on who you ask. For the people who are most vocal about themselves being 'hardcore gamers' it usually means...

Hardcore - What I play
Casual - Everything else

I think Guild's definition is more define.

Although I may think hardcore - is more than just a largest hobby.

the name "Rainbow Six Vegas" was never used.

for one this wasn't a talk about graphics, i was a talk about those games being on the console in general.
content:
for the wii versions of call of duty tho, only difference(besides screen resolution) between (wii & ps3/360) is no split screen & for black ops 1 zombie map. everything else story, & online & voice chat the same.
for the ds versions oveiously there diffrent games but they useally take on a diffrent story from the console games so can't really complain there about being the same game, they still have story, multiplayer, online, zombies, survival mode, ect.

2. "CoD games for Nintendo consoles are inferior to their HD counterparts" as said before graphics/screen resolution isn't a topic here. medal of honer that's up to you(its not mario & on a nintendo console tho), no more heroes were not talking about hd were talking about being on the console(which it started on wii), & i wasn't talking about resident evil 5 i was talking about resident evil 4(which started on gamecube a nintendo console & ported to wii), which wii also has resident evil: umbrella chronicles, darkside chronicles,Resident evil Archives: Resident evil, Resident evil zero. not to mention the DS/3DS side Resident evil: Deadly silence for DS, & for 3DS Resident evil: Mercinaries 3D & Resident evil Revilations(which is technically resident evil 4.5 takes place between 4 & 5). resident evil 5 was the only version the ps3/360 got i think besides operation racoon city coming to them.

 

[omgpwn666]

I play Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS. If Nintendo is for kids it does not hurt to be a big kid once in a while. After all, I really do enjoy my Zelda games.

 

[YayMii]

Nope. There's a lot missing from the Wii versions. No killcams, less customization, no player-controlled killstreak rewards (except for RC-XD), no DLC. It would be a huge list if I was to specify everything that was missing. But that's besides the point. It's also (for the most part) missing the whiny bitchy people on the other consoles.
