Make Use Of: Hmm… what to play? Something I probably shouldn’t be asking myself whilst beginning a new article – but if you’re not me, have just finished work and love your games maybe you’ll find yourself asking the same question.
Raptr is a solution aimed at Windows users designed to marry the many platforms on which we now waste our time into one tidy application. Also included is a tasty selection of completely free games you can download, right within the application itself.
Gaming and bragging are synonymous with each other. The favorite word of any competitive gamer, Noob, can now be found in the dictionary. The irresistible need to ‘Tea-Bag’ a fallen enemy, also represents a portion of the bragging that takes place in the gamers universe. Now, trophies and achievements make up the gamers bragging arsenal online.
True hardcore gamer has bigger skills than ego. Does not brag, need to compare or teabag.
True hardcore gamer owns people and knows it is circle of gaming. Some are fragged so others can frag.
True hardcore gamer, when playing, is always all out of gum.
u would be doing the following at the moment:
1.) talking trash- After turning on ur preferred gaming console and is already in a online match ! the first words out ur mouth is majority of the time trashy.
2. ) Ur the best and u want everyone to know- weather its a headshot or achievements and trophies ! there is no reason to be that good.
3.) ur log on to n4g explaining whats a hardcore gamer - Im a hardcore gamer at least use to be! the only thing i do is get hype for games until i play the demo! after that i look in my bank account to calculate my money, then look at the bigger picture which is- 2 or more players available/ either split screen, co-op, or local multiplayer!!!!
i'm HC in my enthusiasm, average in skill like 80% of gamers.
and i don't have a single platinum
Seriously, the entire time I was reading that unreadable dreck that Nexgensensation was "writing", I was picturing Borat speaking it and now it makes sense lol
"True hardcore gamer " - Plays games.
Get over it people, you're not special.
Not a reply to you, I just want my comment to be placed high.
Whoever wrote this promotional article, whoever submitted this "news article", and whoever approved it should be banned from this site FOREVER.
Oh I didn't notice that, only read the first paragraph after getting annoyed at the headline. I use raptr all the time, it's a great website. Check my profile for a link to my raptr page if you're interested.
This article is really about promoting a stat tracking web-site. It attempts to draw in new users by saying that, in essence: “You're not hardcore unless you stat-track here.”
Personally, I don't see labels like “hardcore” and “casual” as measures of skill but rather measures of time and how both types manage their own.
The “hardcore” will schedule their time around playing the game. “Casuals” will play the game when they have the time and the game is lower priority. I've seen “casual” players with very high levels of skill, and “hardcore” players that struggle to break into the middle of the pack. Both these labels, as far as I'm concerned, should stop being used. They are just unfounded, pointless labels the community uses to segregate it's player-base.
Hardcore gamers play every console and just about every genre. casual gamers, mostly play Call of Duty & Wii. Its for the love of the game, not the console or the genre. That's Hardcore.
I disagree, a hardcore gamer doesn't need to play all consoles and just about every genre they just have to be gamers who view and treat games as a hobby instead of something to just past the time.
I mean I'm pretty sure there are core gamers out there who are content with one console, what right does anyone have to say they're not hardcore gamers if they treat their hobby with more enthusiasm than some of those with all systems.
Though I do agree with you on that a hardcore gamer is views at as for the love of the game.
Auto-Aim in online multiplayer fps ≠ hardcore by any stretch of the imagination , what were they thinking.
Casuals play iPhone, facebook, etc games mostly. Gaming is something they can take or leave. It's just a time waister.
Core are exactly that, they buy the most popular games and mostly just play MP (people don't want to hear it but core is COD, sports, BF3, Halo etc).
Core is the core of the market.
Hardcore need to master the game, think the more difficult the better or probably just game on $2000 PCs.
Rofl i don't need a website telling me that i'm not a hardcore gamer when i put my passion into it playing the game and enjoying them troughly until there is nothing left.
Hardcore to me means you play every type of game without hesitation. It means you play games for the love of it and not because its the popular thing to do. Also a hardcore gamer has at least has played and beaten more than 30 games in his/her lifetime.
Quan Wrote: This is some interesting information about the Raptr site and that means a lot of you gamers including myself will have to step up our game. The concept is to show off our skills on the site by showing off our skills and gaming experience which will eventually unlock exclusive site content. Raptr also states that with your skills we will also unlock retail products and game partners. Now in my opinion that almost sounds really tempting, but usually when it comes to these “Rewards” it usually is not that appetizing. I am about to check out my profile now since this new feature was launched today, but the funny thing is I never got an e-mail about it.
Neocrisis: Raptr, the leading social network for gamers, today announced the “Battlefield vs. Call of Duty Showdown” to determine which leading videogame franchise dominates the first-person shooter category.
Did anyone even win anything in the Summer of Raptr promotion. I haven't heard a single thing about that!
Thanks, Raptr never told us who won our NOX Audio Package Giveaway - Velocity Gamer
To determine which leading videogame franchise dominates the first-person shooter category? Explain dominate. If you're talking sales then Call of Duty wins. You can't argue with that.
Raptor is the best. add me- Arup02
Nope.
Ummmmmm....no.
It doesn't work for the ps3... O.o
Sounds kinda fishy.
