Hardcore Vs. Casual Gaming
ScrambledGregs:
I would say that there are Japanese games that are just as hardcore as MMORPGs, FPS's, or anything else you can name on the 360: Nippon Ichi's strategy RPGs such as Disgaea and Phantom Brave. The strategy guide for Disgaea 2 is like a fucking brick and there are all sorts of ridiculous tables, graphs, and number crunching in it. People routinely spend hundreds of hours on these guys as well.
Baggy:
I couldn't even make it all the way through the first Disgaea! And I put many an hour into it. Oh how I sometimes miss the the day of spending forever on an RPG.
just-another-andy:
I spent well over 300+ hours on the first Disgaea....I think that's when I turned round and thought to myself that I've just spent 12 and a half REAL WORLD days playing a game....wow
Baggy:
I think it was around the same time that I was thinking the same thing. It wasn't long after that that I began leaning towards more casual genres of gaming.
Although I'll admit I still buy the occasional RPG...they still have me hooked. I just don't try to gain the highest level and find every secret like I used to.
TrekkieTechie:
I really don't have the time or the money to be a 'hardcore' gamer, and I guess I'm too pragmatic to be one even if I wanted to be -- I don't think I could ever really care about something that doesn't actually exist. Don't get me wrong, I love video games, I love the escape they can provide, but devoting all my spare time to them isn't something I can handle.
I can handle Tetris while waiting in line or SSB when friends are over and we're reliving the good old after-school days, but most of the time I'm doing other things. My 'platform' of choice is the GameBoy Micro.
