TopicOk. So what exactly is a casual gamer?

Right, if the ratios were reversed, Dark Souls would be a casual game, and CoD would be a hardcore game.

"Hardcore" and "Casual" do not refer to quality. At all.


Never said a damn thing about quality in this argument.

A mainstream casual gamer is someone who only plays the biggest hits and nothing more.

Now what the f*** is this? A minute ago, you were pointing out how a casual gamer could play Dark Souls, and now it's suddenly they ONLY play the biggest hits? Considering the fact that Demons' Souls (no offense) finished 11th its first month out in NA, I doubt it can be considered one of the "biggest hits."

This is why this whole concept is dumb. You give this game a label based on something that has nothing to do with the game and everything to do with who plays it. If you label a game a sports game, it doesn't suddenly become something else because a majority of people who play the game are non-sports fans. It's a sports game. It will always be a sports game, no matter who plays it. But slap on a stupid tag like casual or hardcore and suddenly it can change based on something the game has no effect on.

Do you get my point now? Do you finally see why calling any game "casual" or "hardcore" doesn't make any sense? Do you see why it makes sense to label a game based on what it actually is, instead of what type of people like it?
