It makes sense imo. Games these days should focus primarily on telling Hollywood quality stories and having an immersive narrative. We aren't in the 1980s anymore. Games have shifted towards being an interactive story rather than being all about the gameplay. And that's a good thing because it shows how gaming has evolved over the years. You can play any game and forget about it later. But the ones you really remember are games like Heavy Rain that do their best to engross you in he experience.



All of those games that only focus on gameplay are holding back the industry. Sonic's Earth IS Earth. This has been proven through science~Nacho_Burger This is just something I've noticed. Hardcore gamers prefer to play games with a bigger emphasis on telling a memorable story or creating a vibrant world such as Mass Effect, Metal Gear solid, and Professor Layton. Whereas casuals prefer games that only focus on gameplay such as Candy crush, Super Mario Bros, and Angry Birds.It makes sense imo.

That's a bit of warped logic but whatever.



Hardcore gamers play games regardless of if they are game play driven or story driven. They play what they like and everything else doesn't matter. There is room for both game play focused and story driven games so I don't see why you are trying to split the user base by making such baseless assumptions.



The only thing holding the industry back are people who don't like change and people who for some reason cannot understand that people have different tastes.



You are also misusing the term causal. A casual is someone who doesn't devote much time to gaming, they know little to nothing about the industry, they don't care about what games are coming out and they play whatever is convenient.



I remember a game like Dark Souls more then Heavy Rain thats for sure. http://www.terra-comic.com --> Terra: a Science Fiction Webcomic That's a bit of warped logic but whatever.Hardcore gamers play games regardless of if they are game play driven or story driven.

Hardcore games are primarily "core" gamers. They like classic, legitimately worth-the-money games, and vary from person to person. Most hardcore gamers vastly prefer gameplay(See people that play MOBA's/RTS/Fighters/Shooters) to story at that. PSN: HunterSunbro. Dragon's Dogma DA Pawn: Odessa/Odette(Starting fresh) Your examples and interpretation of Hardcore/Casual are bad.Hardcore games are primarily "core" gamers.

"So it is and must be for all existence..." So what about MMO and online that focus more on gameplay than story?
