Casual Gamer Edit Meaning

1.

casual gamers make up the silent majority of computer and console game players that:

1, use pc and console games as a means of socializing or to connect with friends rather than as an achievement or to further their reputation as a skillful game player.

2, are by definition inferior in skill to any hardcore gamer.

3, do not play casual games.

4, play mainly console based games due to their ease of setup and "plug & play" capabiliy.

5, inherently feel a need to confront hardcore gamers due to their own inferior skills and the hardcore gamers inherent need to prove victorious.

Any casual gamer that successfully challenges a hardcore gamer is not a casual gamer, but a hardcore gamer in denial.

Obviousy, all gamers are bound by the desire to win at any given game, there would be no point to any game if that were not true, but the over-riding desire to connect with other individuals, be it close friends or distant aquaintances define the casual gamer.

Hardcore gamers have a generally negative, and often derogatory view of casual gamers, looked upon as the plauge of the video game industry. While hardcore gamers are in the minority of gamers they provide an invaluable resource to developers on both the hardware and software end. Without the hardcore gamers passion and dedication to the art, we would not have the quality games that are available today.

Since the purchase power of the casual gamer determines what becomes a best seller, it is understandable why the hardcore gamer has such contempt for the group.

2.

Casual Gamer's are the bane of the current gaming industry. Casual Gamers prefer to play games on an inferior console rather than on a superior PC. Most Casual Gamers are fans of only Sports and racing games as anything with a fantasy or sci-fi setting is "nerdy" to them. To them gaming isn't a hobby but just something you do for fun so games should never be complicated because that would require thinking on their part and would not be fun for them.

Causual Gamers attitude towards games causes them to only buy simplistic sports and action titles. This harms the development and evolution of the industry as a whole because hartless publishers like EA, Ubi-soft and Segawill use their influence to crush new and innovative ideas and push foreward titles which will sell faster to the unwashed masses.

A Casual gamer actually said to me once "Well *I* don't like to think then *I* play games" as if not thinking some how made him better than me. Yeah that makes a WHOLE TON of sense, jackass. Not thinking is obviously making you a better person.

3.

A mmorpg player who can't (or won't)play for more than 2 hours in a row. Usually due to real life commitments.

In the middle of a dungeon: "Sorry, I've got to leave. I'm taking my girlfriend to see a movie."

4.

One who claims to play a game casually, without a strong desire to compete against others, but actually calls themselves casual as an excuse for often repeated failure to complete novice level tasks within games.

5.

A person who playes games when they have the time, and doesn't commit their life to them.

Casual Gamers tend to buy the console that has the widest selection of games, is the cheapest, and is talked about the most. The games they tend to play are simple games that are like everyday life, such as sports titles or the Sims.

Sonyhas been the main console of casual gamers, and is really the company that invented them. About 80% of their sales have been made to casual gamers.

However, it looks as if this will change soon. At the time of the writing of this definition, Nintendois taking the aproach of simple games and a cheap console, which is what casual gamers tend to go for. The interface of the new console is even more simple then the controller that most are use to. Also, the high price of the Ps3 is making people uneasy about buying the system.

I don't like casual gamers, I think I'll post a rude entry on Urban Dictionary.

6.

A casual gamer is a misconstrued word (often moronically) whereby anyone who plays Sports games or is a supporter of EA are deemed casual. However, this is incorrect.

Casual gamers are gamers that can only find the time to play games every so often and when they feel like it. They don't feel the need to play daily or weekly. Often it's "harcore" gamers that like to use the term casual as an insult and these are the one's who are truly pathetic.

OMG's! dat H4rdcor3 GamerZ just called me a casual gamer as an insult. He must get Laid a lot!

3. VH1 and MTV supporters.

4. "Gamers" that will eventually bring the downfall to the gaming industry if us true gamers don't do something about it.

I hope casual gamers aren't let into Heaven, for their ignorance and obliviousness will be the downfall of my afterlife as well!
