This has been a debate for a while. I don't consider myself hardcore, but I do consider myself avid. So here is my take on this debate:
Internet gamers - Mostly Facebook players whom play alot of time managment games and like collecting odds and ends to show off what they've built up
PC Gamers - stick to "WASD" keys and a mouse or if they're oldschool a mouse and spacebar.
MMO'ers - This is a branch of PC gaming which is online but still in thier little click so I think it's fair to say they get a fair call
Console gamers - Stick to a console and play just about every game out there even if it sucks.
Portable gamers - similar to Console Gamers but like to have something they can play in public.
Cell phone gamers - play alot of tetris and puzzle games on their cell phone
Avid Fans - play a little bit here and there of all the previous categories, but don't try to specify thier likings to a simple platform
Truly Hardcore Gamers - Will play anything on any format at all times day or night can't live without gaming
I broke down the categories of gamers I encounter. Sad thing is most people that claim to be hardcore are usually PC or Console gamers that play games to the point where they play on super hard and like to badmouth anyone who calls them out on being just a multiplayer jackass. (I'll go a bit deeper on online gaming jackasses in a later post) So what if you're better at Call of Duty than me or that you got a scopeless kill and teabagged some poor noob. Yeah alot of the hate comes in on Shooters. See the Definition of Hardcore means there is no limit. The difference between Hardcore and sofcore porn is you see genetalia and penetration and soo much more in Hardcore. So why would someone that holds strong to a category not be hardcore in their category? Think before you speak folks.
