Well… which one are you? 8bitrocket has made a manifesto and the term “mid-core gamer”. For people like me who aren’t hard core into gaming, but aren’t exactly casual either…
He writes…
Hardcore gamers consider me a casual gamer and casual gamers consider me a hardcore gamer, so what am I? …In any case, I have decided to call myself a MID-CORE gamer. I have no idea if there is another term for me or the millions like me, but I like this one and I’m sticking to it. I know it’s not CATCHY or SEXY, but it is accurate… I always hear industry people talk about CASUAL and HARDCORE, but never the in betweens like me. I have to search online and bargain bins for games that fit my needs.
Although MJ is most definitely a Hard-core gamer… I’d say I’m between casual and mid-core… making me mid-casual? say what? do we really have to be politically correct about this? Maybe MJ can write a new thesis onthe strata of gamers in modern society to supplement his theses in “Islam and video games” (told you he was hard core)…
Anyway.. my favourite game that I played is Thief II on PC, loved it ever since I played it. My latest completed game is the classic, award-winning, “Another World” and lately I’m playing American McGee’s “Bad Day in L.A.” and “Stolen” which is like a mix of Thief II and Tomb Raider.
so…back to the question…Are you Hard-core, Casual or Mid-core?
