So, what do you think? Do we think too much about video games instead of actually playing them?

Yep. Still there is a difference between hardcore, and casual gamers.

What's the inbetween where you play hardcore games but don't get fanboy rage.

WAT!

I'm neutral. I play both casual and hardcore games, and enjoy them. I don't spend my time being a fanboy about a particular game, and raging about hardcore and casual.

This guy speaks the truth.

Im 28 now and when I was younger I would play one game to death (Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Battletoads, etc) until I could beat it easily and I labeled myself a hardcore gamer easily. Now today I have money and limited time and I did beat Mega Man 9 quickly as it was such a fresh feel to an old genre. Mega Man 10 still sits unfinished and I really have no desire to just get stomped on it when I can easily go online with my brothers and have a blast in whatever else of the 100s of games I own. I play all types of games and play everyday and always will.

The true hardcore gamers usually only play one type of game such as street fighter, donkey kong, etc. Games with infinate difficuly and can be beaten/played in spaces of time that you can easily stay awake in. These guys stand on a step of their own. Watch "The King of Kong" and see for yourself.

I think the third category is just plain gamer. Someone who just won't get caught up in all the BS of the system wars etc. Sure I'll instigate every now and then but I'm a troll...whatever...but when it comes to gaming, I'm happy as long as Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo keep making systems and companies keep making great games I can play on those systems. I don't own a PS3, but I sure did love the PS2 and I'm sure the PS3 is great, I have nothing bad to say about it. I do own a 360 and Wii and own around 20 games for each and they're all great to me. No need for all the hate and emotion that people put into the ridiculous console war.

Very Well said and I COMPLETELY Agree. I actually own 2 PS3s and a Wii and did have a 360 until very recently. All of them are great. 360 didnt so much fit my gaming taste, but doesnt mean its not great and I dang sure not about to go trolling here ranting on the system. People cant take criticism, and it doesnt help here when the home page keeps posting articles from other companies making statements about Nintendo, usually taking something that is just basic company criticism and makeing it out to be full on console war talk wich then heads into the forums by the truck loads. It gets very old.

Oh look today home page....

Slapshot, you are spot on. That is an issue I see, if it doesn't fit MY tastes then it must be horrible which is a crazy way of thinking. Case in point, there is a guy running around the amazon review section for the 360 Transformers game, not only telling people they're wrong that they like the game but that the younger generation don't know good games anyways because they consider GoW and Halo as 'great' gameplay. I looked up another review of his and he loved Williams Pinball which SCREAMS to me that he just doesn't like third person shooters, but instead of just realizing that he's the one with the issue, he has to run down a few of the reviews that glow about it!

Anyways, it's hard for me to blame the video game companies for fueling the fire. They know how to get publicity, good or bad, and lord knows the troll fanboys can't resist a company running down an opposing company...they live for it just so they feel like their misguided opinion is validated BUT w/e, I love games...games on all systems, games of all types. Sure there are those I don't understand and don't get but far be it for me to tell someone their taste stinks because they do.
