That wasn't really my point.

 

If you played CS back then, you knew it was a free mod if you had already owned HL.

 

I forgot how Steam worked when Valve made the switch, but I believe CS came free naturally on Steam assuming you had registered your original HL CD key.

All I read was the OP. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I miss the days of the old school Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon series. Back before the regenerating health and invisibility cloaks.

Not only that, but the bullet damage was alot more deadly in those games too.  Plus on harder difficulties, the direction of fire meter and other on screen 'helpers' were turned off.  Play with no re-spawns and **** got intense !!

 

  Give me Doom, Timesplitters, Duke Nukem type FPS that are fun but unrealistic or the true tactical shooters like these. (R6 Raven Shield and earlier, Ghost Recon 1, Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis)

 

  Screw the stuff in the middle, like the CoD type military garb that tries to put up this facade of being realistic, when it's really anything but the case. 

 

Generally I consider anyone that knows very little about the industry as a whole to be a casual gamer. ie. not knowing what a Bioware or Bethesda is would be a big red flag. 

 

 

 LOL..You do know Bio/Beth is like the definition of casual when it comes to RPGs these days, right ?

[Seraphim24]

The casual vs. hardcore seems to be always based on accessibility, like difficulty. 

 

I think it should be about the themes and subject matter. I'm irritated that a game that seems to have more of an edgy feel (Demon Souls, w/e) automatically also has to be really hard. I can't see why there can't just be a Super Mario Souls. Or Demon Mario.

[TurianRebel212]

I don't play Nintendo games, and too be honest. I never really have. So I don't really know.

Why isn't anyone else poor?

[L. Han]

Eh, seems like a really steep idea. Because there is always something more hardcore and something more casual. For example, many Call of Duty players get called by Battlefield players as casuals. Many Halo players call both Call of Duty and Battlefield players casuals. Many Counter Strike players call all three of them casuals. And hardcore Quake players call everyone else filthy casuals.

 

Really though, the term 'casual gamer' really only applies to cow-clickers or other iPhone games that lacks any real depth. Even then, that term is so loose you could fit ten elephants in it.

[Seraphim24]

See I think of that as defining casual games for the most part, the vast amount of mobile games. People forget how hard "casual" experiences like Mario or endless runners were back in the day. The one thing you are often guranteed not to get in a "casual" game isn't necessarily difficultly but some kind of morally gray demon zombie fighting for equally morally gray reasons. 

 

Also, I've seen plenty of super difficult and incredibly "hardcore" games be paper thin thematically, Mario is more intense than Left for Dead or whatever. 

[spinachdiaper]

i would argue the opposite with Clans, MLG, and Esports over running and making 95% of online shooters full of unbalanced teams and matchmaking lobbies.

[fchopin]

I rarely play fps as i find them boring but i don’t think you should be blaming casual players as they don’t make the games.

I have no problem with developers improving things that are sometimes boring in games or are like rinse and repeat as long as they don’t just chop them out like they did in ME2.
Don’t blame casuals blame companies that want to make quick money and hiding what is or is not in the game so people pre-order.

I miss the days when Rare never failed to make a damn good game.

[A Crusty Knight Of Colour]

I miss the days when Rare never failed to make a damn good game.

There was a period in the mid 90s and the start of the millennium where they didn't know how to make a bad game. Killer Instinct, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, etc.

 

Now the tagline of their website when searched on google reads: "Rare - Creators of Kinect Sports Rivals"

 

How the mighty have fallen.

Just dropping by casually before I go study the tables to understand the game I wanted to play tonight.

95% of tablet games p*sses me off. Funny thing is most of tablet games are rip-off of PC or old consoles games.

[dreamgazer]

Yeah, it was a running joke ever so briefly. Dreamy will never forget. LOL. It didn't quite have the staying power of Spear-Hoes though. 

 

I never forget. I also never give up and never surrender, but that's neither here nor there.

What is a casual?
 
Is that like a new word for n00b?

Casual gamers are evil people who play for fun.

Shadow Warrior, Rise of the Triad, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

[Ridwan]

You lot have nothing to complain about since it's pretty evident you aren't doing your homework. You whine about lack of "hardcore" games and that they don't cater to you, when in fact there are games that do, but usually these games fails to meet the expectations considering the budget spent.

 

I wrote three times now Shadow Warrior, yet this game seems to fly under the radar, and you lot have the audacity to complain about lack of "hardcore" fps.

[Blooddrunk1004]

It depends on how do you view the word "casual". When i hear casual the first stuff that comes to my mind is:

On this term i will agree. People had a lot more imagination back when it came to gaming. And more importantly the games back then were created only for fun. They didn't bother with stuff like: hidden meanings, messages, political corectness (like DA:I is doing), artistic and mature stuff and etc. Quite frankly i'm glad some games today are discussing this stuff. But i will say that FPS and RPG games were handled a lot better in old days.

 

It's pointless to argue that games are much easier or "casual" today since stuff like Bulletstorm, Wolfenstein: TNO, Witcher, Divinity, Wasteland, POE clearly say otherwise.
