Livestream Q&A with the Executive Producer for Mass Effect 3 is starting at 2PM PST at http://live-event.ea.com/e3/ Following that at 4:30PM PST on the same stream a Q&A with DICE on Battlefield 3. Make sure to ask some good hard hitting questions if you want. It's a chance to interact with the people designing the game and potentially getting your voice heard in the grand scope of things about the direction that the game is going. Enjoy. | ||

The PC also get's every single game that the xbox and ps get. Your theory is flawed. Nintendo upgraded the hardware, because there currently is no reason not to. Widescreen hq televisions are common now (compared to hq and bluescreen years ago). Graphics don't make a game hardcore. In fact no one has given the qualities of a hardcore game. A hardcore game is a game that caters to hardcore gamers. Qualities of a hardcore game: * High quality graphics * Typically rated Teen or Mature for realistic violence/gore, sexual themes * Hard to master * Highly competitive * Great online support * Tons of achievements/trophies/secrets to earn/collect/unlock | ||

Graphics don't matter, rating doesn't matter (ahahahah), and good achievements are just like the other two in where they're window dressing that makes a game appear to be fun when it actually has little depth. Quake has stats and even achievements now and no one gives a shit. The game could barely pick up a T rating with most people's settings too. | ||

Hardcore games are an imaginary term made by gamers with a superiority complex over so called casual gamers. Because in their eyes there are only 2 kinds of gamers one that plays nintendogs and others that only play cod. Completely ridiculous. The reality is that the vast majority of self proclaimed hardcore gamers arent remotely competitive at the games they play. They just play them alot like wow addicts. SC2 is a supposed hardcore game but half the server population is bronze. So hardcore.. .. . | ||

Something it does exceptionally well. @Leto: You're way off on what constitutes a hardcore game. Basically out of the things you listed only "Hard to master" and "Highly competitive" (doesn't need to be multiplayer, btw) are true. | ||

If it caters to hardcore and casual then it cant be a hardcore game. Thats why hardcore gamers are a paradox and arent a real demographic. "Hardcore gamers" are just people that play alot of games or spend alot of time playing games. There isnt anything special about those games that make them hardcore. | ||

"Hardcore gamers" are just people that play alot of games or spend alot of time playing games. There isnt anything special about those games that make them hardcore. So you would call somebody who spend allot of time playing facebook games hardcore, and somebody who plays 3-4h of competitive games, or more complex games like space rangers 2 a week a casual? I think that casual should rather refer to somebody who plays in a casual way, who wants easy games, without wanting to put any effort into learning more complex game rather then based on how much somebody plays. | ||

Then explain me how farmville and those shits have around 50.000.000 active users each month. And explain how many of my friends, and many of yours, and probably yourself, are playing those freaking facebook games, or the unicorn game, or flash games at newgrounds, that are not hardcore at all... but we just seem to like them... and some of them we actually keep playing. God's forsake me if I ever play another facebook game again, but I did it once. | ||
