Can you be a hardcore gamer if...

[AlaCarcuss]

You mean their parents.

I'm also in the habit of not-removing-from-inventory a lot but finishing very few games, though.

Yeah, me too.

I finish perhaps 1 in 10 games I don't remove from inventory - sometimes regardless of their quality. Yet a friend of mine who never downloads, but buys (at full price) maybe 2-3 games per month always finishes them (again, regardless of quality).

I guess torrenting does have it's down side in that you're less compelled to get your money's worth. Of course it's also true that most games these days are just not worth the time to complete, and I hate forking out big bucks on crap games.

I actually have a whole 1TB hard drive set aside, full of games I've yet to finish but would like to someday - I call it my "must get back to" drive (yet I hardly ever do).

I tend to finish all games I start, even those removed from inventory. That said I do not start as many games as I used to.

I even forced myself to finish Bloodrayne, and it was the only case where I used a cheat mode to get it over as fast as possible. Actually I lied: I did the same for Bloodrayne 2.

BloodRayne was actually pretty good. For what it was. Back then.

There are many better games nowadays, though. Like DMC3/4.

Can you be a hardcore gamer if...you play games just for fun and don't care whether they're intelligent or not?

Obviously. Playing Quake isn't "intelligent", it's completely reflex based. But if you spend 16 hours a day playing it and competing competitively I'd say you're "hardcore".

I think in the context of cockdex the question should be altered to:

...you play just for fun and don't care whether they have a storwie und chwacters with xena dialogue that makes me feel intelligent?

Can you be a hardcore gamer if... you dont give a shit about Codexian response yet followed intimately their 'discussions'?

I say yes. Maybe. I think.

 

[relootz]

Discussing games being intelligent is stupid anyway. What makes a game intelligent and can games even be intelligent anyway?
Being 'intelligent' doesnt make a game enjoyable. And if a game isnt enjoyable you wont play it.
