What do you consider a Casual gamer?
For the past few days, a certain person and I have had a discussion about the term Casual gamer. The discussion is about whether a person who plays 2 hours a day is considered a Casual or Hardcore gamer.

What are your thoughts? And thank you for the input. :)

a casual player never touched a single monster hunter game before and has not finished Iceborne story / Alatreon yet.

+ It has to be at least MR100 for Ruiner nerg

All our answers will vary from person to person due to different experiences, but I believe two hours a day is casual, yes.

So basicaly for me if you don't want to be considered as a casual player in this game you have to be MR100+ with at least one Alatreon killed

Edit : and someone who is playing just for fun is casual for me

My opinion ...


A casual gamer is one who plays for fun, plays for short sessions and most likely will move on to another game sooner rather than later.

A hardcore game is a player that really invests into the game they are playing, sets goals in game and achieves said goals, takes time to 'study' the game (YT vids and guides) and sticks to a few games they want to master.

The other definition is the difference between gamers that play only Candy Crush types , and those that play games that require more time investment, say like Dark Souls.

Neither type is wrong, a gamer should be free to play whatever game they want, just in my opinion dont expect the game to adjust to you, you need to adjust to the game.

imo its more then just play time. some one could play candy crush for 8 hours a day... that is far from casual.

then you could have some one who plays monster hunter a lot, but they don't understand how the game works, like hit zone values, or how status builds up and proc's.

then you could have some one that plays the game once a week, but they make many sets and compare the math on the damage output. they make the effort to learn how the game works and optimize what they do within the game.



I think its not always about time invested that makes a hardcore or a casual, its the depth they put into it.

Imo gametime has nothing to do with being casual or hardcore. A casual gamer is someone who plays a few games lets say after work to chill. They arent tryharding in the sense that they try to hit everything perfectly or speed running or whatever. They also usually have less in depth game knowledge even after countless hours.

A Hardcore gamer is someone, who either played a lot of different games or someone who plays specific games very intensly. He is the type of guy that can tell you all about the secret mechanics and inner workings of a game. Often they are very competitive in their game.

Really depends... for me, playing for fun and having a laugh, able to stop anytime regardless, casual. playing for speed and raging, unable to put down your game, hardcore.

To me, a casual gamer is anyone who likes pineapple on pizza. Disgusting weirdos...

To me a casual gamer would be some one who plays only casual games.
Most mobile games and clicker games are casual games, also games like plants versus zombies and peggle, while fun, fall into the casual category.
Basically games your mom could play and successfully finish are casual games.

Then there are games that are, at their core, too difficult to me considered casual.
Most moms will not understand how to play games like monster hunter, rainbow six, starcraft etc.
I consider people who play these types of games regularly for any amount of time no longer casual.

I call myself a casual gamer. While I play probably on average 4h+ a day and have some games with multiple 100h, I also switch from game to game. I rarely stay long enough to "master" it.

2 hours a day is really casual

when I was younger I grinded 10 hours a day on some stuff

I feel it has less to do with playtime, and more to do with learning the deeper mechanics. You could still be a casual and invest a lot of time into a game. Some people just like to hunt a lot of monsters, others are interested in speed running or min - maxing their skills. One takes more dedication to learn everything (a lot of this tends to be researching on websites / discussions outside of the game) - but both types could have equally as much playtime.

I know who you are referring to as him and I have also clashed over this. The whole 2 hour argument came from me saying to him 1500 hours would equate to about 2 hours a day since the pc release. Nobody said it required 2 hours of gameplay per day, or that it is even what I have done. I tend to play a lot when new content is released, and then I take a break. I wouldn't say I'm casual or hardcore in this regard - somewhere in the middle. I know enough about the mechanics to be competent and clear the content, but not enough to speedrun.

Case and point - Warcraft, i used to play that game a lot when I was younger. Even with that I would say I was a casual - I wasn't interested in progressing into the harder raids or end game content (certainly not min - maxing or optimal rotations). I basically just used to log in to have some fun with my friends.

Someone who plays a game for the journey or the ride, but doesn't stick around once they reach the destination. Plays it because it's trendy, or only plays it when their friends play it. They only scratch the surface of a things complexity, enough to experience something to say "I was there" but not really enough to take anything away from it.

There's too many definitions, though. I like to consider myself pretty casual considering I don't care about kill times, meta sets, offence vs defence based skills, the amount of damage % people contribute in a fight, or even what I do with my time in game - happy to hunt LR monsters if it's fun and the company is good, etc.

But I've played enough video games to pick up on all the usual tropes and tricks almost instantly at this point, like you get, without trying to sound purposefully cringey, a form of "gamer sixth sense" which I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. Things just click instantly because you've seen it a hundred times or more by now.

So basically not gaming "journalists" who fail to solve even the most basic problems within video games but still think they're qualified to review games, etc.

Any hunter who has never played the Freedom 1, 2, Unite, 3rd Portable, Tri, U4, Generations and has never done fun challenges like killing White Fatalis with a yellow sharpness weapon is pretty much an estus sippin' casul.

2 hours a day is fairly dedicated, especially if it's 2 hours EVERY day.
