Hardcore

[Mudran]

Why always when someone wants to describe hardcore player he imagine something nobody else can do or... want to do? Usually some long combat with a lot of punishing.

Why roleplayers don't name themself hardcore then?

Isn't extreme long stealth missions hardcore aswell or jumping action like in the last Tomb raider everyone said it is the worst one, but it turned out to be the best "returning to roots" kind of game in the last trilogy - why those players don't view themselves as hardcore?

 

In this view - what is casual then? Why casual is always someone who doesn't like combat or raids? if in Roleplaying games he could be named "hardcore"?

 

I wish this would be made right, because then we could have games we want and not games which are so annoying nobody wants to play them or so streamlined there is no point playing them.
