There is a line between true gamers and addiction. two hours isn't that long, but just because you play long doesn't really do anything. And what games are you talking about? PC, console, Flash, ect...
Uh I'm unsure what ur definition of "true gamer" is... I know I'm not a lying gamer.... Uh u mean "hardcore"? That's kinda me... I play if I have any free time over the weekends. My friends say I'm addicted. Pfft never *twitch* *twitch*
i guess im hardcore. i now play less because of my work but i remember i used to play almots 8 hours a day. i wish i had my old schedule like 3 years ago :/
Check this. When I was 13 I was hooked on a game called "Last Chaos" I would sleep at 10 pm and wake up at 3 am and play the game until 8am until I had to go to school.
Well now... when people ask me "are you a gamer" I say no. Or rather "well I do play the occasional game but not that much."
Then I look on Steam and note that I've got over 150 hours logged on each of the racing games I own.
>_<
But seriously I used to be addicted to games, now I have a job and I study and I do all these other things I maybe spend an average of 1/2 hour a day (or 3-4 hours a weekend), and I don't really like playing online PvP, because I lack serious gaming equipment (driving with a keyboard? Come on now.) This said I could drive rings around almost every other player in most driving games except when they a) cheat b) purchase some bonus with real money, that gives you game-breaking abilities. But don't count me as a gamer, I don't have multiple lvl 70 chars in WoW, I suck at Counterstrike, I didn't get in on this Starcraft 2 madness and I don't care whether BF3 or whatever it was is better.
Though I will definitely get around to TES: Skyrim. I just have to decide whether to play Oblivion first, and finish the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry series. Or maybe screw that and play Skyrim first haha.
Id say a gamer has 4-5 hours of gaming a day consistently for weeks. Thats probably the most hardcore gamers though. I think most people are just casual gamers who just play when they have the time. Though I wonder if Im becoming more hardcore as my TF2 playtime has recently passed 150 and doesn't look to be stopping.
i'm a gamer not a true gamer because i may only play 1 hour a day in the weekend while school i may only play a half hour! i hate it, ****ing home rules!
