It was a joke. People didn't really react to that thinking it was real. It was just a big joke playing on those who want hard core games, nothing to stress over.
I know it was a joke, that's not the point of this thread.
Dzapper said:Yeah, but comedy is only effective if it holds some truth to it. This does acurrately depict how most "hardcore" gamers view "hardcore" games. In my opinion Metroid Prime 3 is the most hardcore game on Wii. It has complicated puzzles and an enemy difficulty which is not easily outsmarted. Yet most "hardcore" gamers would probably put Madworld over Metroid Prime 3 on the "hardcore" scale just because of the amount of blood and gore in the game. Nothing against Madworld, I'm sure its a very good game, but in the end it looks like a lot of mindless waggling and blood splatter. We need to truely redefine what hardcore is, cause it sure isn't bucket loads of blood splattering everywhere.
Thank you

No I wasn't. Read again.
Bio said:It does hold some truth to it. It pokes fun at the absurd mindset of most hardcore types who attract themselves to games with loaded blood and gore (Case in point: Several gamers have been complaining that the upcoming Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 has reduced its blood content). It doesn't at all define the behavior of all hardcores, but it definitely applies to many of them.
Buckets 'o blood appeal is what we call a stereotype of the hardcore community. And stereotypes always hold an ounce of truth.
There ya go. That's my point.

Instead of worrying if a game is hardcore or not just play it and enjoy it after all who would want to play a game they hate?
Nice. I can't even walk into a damn gamestop and shop freely anymore without some idiot pointing out that this and this game is rated E so its not hardcore, and that I should buy this game cause "It has tons of blood bro! Plus ITS RATED M TOO!!!"
