What is a "Hardcore" Gamer?

[Yepi69]

If you play Call of Duty, you're a hardcore gamer.

Yes, Call of Duty > Everything
If you play Call of Duty and minecraft, you're a hardcore gamer that doesn't play games about graphics only.

I think it's silly trying to divide people into groups. It only leads to a "us VS them" scenario and quite frankly I think we all could do without those.

Call Of Duty doesn't means hardcore.

You can be a hardcore gamer by playing anything, like Nintendo games. The thing that matters is the time you spent, not what game you play.

I'd say it's someone with nothing better to do.

Who WANTS to be a hardcore gamer? With all the latent racism, homophobia, misogyny from all those pimple faced 12 year old mamaboys I wouldn't want to be one if you'd pay me for it. I'd rather be "just a guy who plays games" or something...

There's something Chris Avellone said during an interview about Fallout: New Vegas that stuck with me.
He was asked if Fallout: New Vegas would appeal to the hardcore gamers and he responded with along the lines of "What we consider a hardcore gamer at Obsidian is someone who knows what they're talking about when it comes to games"

Playing Rated M games doesn't make you a hardcore gamer, it's silly to think that.

I think it's silly trying to divide people into groups.

Not if you're an insecure little butt monkey that has to create arbitrary distinctions in order to make himself feel superior to others.

Whenever some clown is playing a game which is not rated 'M for Manly', the brave Hardcore Gamers stand up to publicly defend the honor of the true grown-up videogames in Internet forums, often through expletives. More than anything else, Hardcore is what separates the men from the boys, with the immeasurable power of blast processing.

I so picture such with an arrogant grin, popped eyeballs "pwning" multiplayer shooters, fapping over their "achievments" .. Between the age of 7 to 14 should fit. Ah, stereotypes!
