There are some things that have become accepted over the years. Do a lil Google search and there's loads of articles on this subject. Having an opinion on something is fine. People are entitled to their opinion.
The problem is when people start trying to defend an opinion that is wrong, or very close to wrong. Contrary to what we are all taught in the second grade, opinions can be wrong.

Except there's misconceptions being placed around here about being hardcore, being competitive, and being an all star player who gets paid to play.(I don't see any way of the latter being possible in PS2)
I'm not defending anything, i'm saying be realistic about others having the idea that being a "hardcore gamer" can be interpreted very differently which you seem to understand so I don't get why we're arguing about it. Also i have to say this, hardcore/=/excessive playtime *ALL the time, for some players yeah, but not everyone. Also depends on the game, i've played plenty of games over the years at different levels of "fucks given" to understand the difference.
