Atleast use the dictionary man, it means committed , ideology and outlook on something or particular view

No, it doesn't.

I'm sorry, what? So all these years where i've been playing games hardcore and strive to be the best at what i do wasn't being competitive because i wasn't in a tournament? Damn, what have i been doing this whole time.

This is true to a degree yes, but there's a difference of playing the game casually, and playing the game to be the best because that's what you like to do, not everyone strives to be that way.

How about we all agree that everyone's definition of competitive and casual are all over the place lol.

hard core 
noun
1.
the permanent, dedicated, and completely faithful nucleus of a group or movement, as of a political party.
2.
an unyielding or intransigent element in a social or organizational structure, as that part of a group consisting of longtime adherents or those resistant to change.
3.
those whose condition seems to be without hope of remedy or change.


See? Everyone here's hardcore. You all win!

That's what i said before...lol, everyone has their own opinion of what hardcore is.

Just a discussion, but it's irritating when people think that what they think is right is the only thing that's right and attack others for having an opinion

The problem lies in trying to sum up the entirety of the playerbase with two words.

It's not enough words.

I will play for fun.

[Landtank]

Well seeing as I have 16 corporate sponsors I'll be playing competitively.

That definition you quoted completely contradicts what you tried to define the word to be.

Look, you're a dude with a my little pony avatar. You and I will likely never agree on anything.

You can be ignorant and high on yourself all you want. It ain't no thang to me. But when you start spewing crap about ideology and e-fame, expect to get checked.

It's for your own good.

I was told by a shadowy figure that if I shoot Vanu and NC I would receive a cookie. For 9 years I have been shooting these animated monsters who somehow bar me from my sugary nirvana. And I suspect it will be many more years before I am able to end this madness.

The craziest part? I don't even know what kind of cookie it will be. It could be oatmeal raisin. I hate oatmeal raisin

You gave me a hearty Lol and I am going to save this someplace. Perhaps quote it in my sig area or something.

I'll be a hopefully successful and smart casual player, I suppose.

I like to learn the ins and outs of the games I play, and apply what I learn to increase my efficiency and inform my strategy. My twitch skills aren't what they were 15 years ago when I was playing UT. I gravitate towards squad leadership and support roles to force-multiply my squad. And I doubt I'll be able to play 3-4 hour sessions nightly, but will probably get 12-20 hours in a week and itch for more.

So.. whatever that makes me.
