Retro_Link Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 don't know anything about hardcore games What do you class as a hardcore game?
c0Zm1c Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 What do you class as a hardcore game? The term is often used to describe a game that demands a great amount of skill/patience from the player. Games like F-Zero GX, Viewtiful Joe, and Ikaruga fit into this category. So, if substantial challenge is the description of hardcore, then (to my knowledge) there's only a handful of hardcore games on each platform. Good thing too, as I'm far from 'hardcore'. ...unlike whoever it is playing here!

I know what i class them to be (pretty much what you said; a game that requires a great ammount of skill and dedication) and therefore IMO I think (as you do) the GC has plenty of hardcore games (if not the most?); But xino said that Nintendo and its fans know nothing about them, so i just wondered what he'd class them as?!
c0Zm1c Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 I was trying to find out what 'xino' classed as hardcore games!?? Well, going by what he said when he first mentioned the word 'hardcore'... so you are trying to tell me, a hardcore gamer that play games like Unreal series, doom3 and telling me those hardcore gamers will be playing Animal farm and HARVEST MOONyou got to be joking I'm not sure about Unreal (Tournament) as I only play those games online where the difficulty is defined by the other players I'm fighting. However, Doom³ certainly isn't what I would call hardcore. Nightmare mode is just that, but the three difficulty settings below that aren't what you would call a serious challenge. I love Doom³, but Metroid Prime (for example) beats it for challenge. Oh and by the way (xino), I also play Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. So it's true that gamers who play Unreal and Doom³ also play Nintendo games.
