"Hardcore gamers are typically self proclaimed, and always on the border of obsessive when it comes to games. They come in all shapes and sizes, all ages, colors and creeds, but have one thing in common – a deep love for gaming. Just as there is no genre that defines all games, there is no type of hardcore gamer that defines them all. For simplification, I've divided them into a few archetypes. Bear in mind, no one archetype will define a player - most gamers are a mix between the three."

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
Of course Christopher would submit this lol.
PS fanboys like Christopher for years: “OMG visuals!”
Xbox releases a game with better visuals than any Sony game: “visuals don’t matter!”
Not better than any Sony games. Hellblade 2 visuals aren't really impressive and anything we haven't seen. Plus everything else about the game is shit. Wouldn't be different if it was multiplatform.
You sound like you have first-hand experience with playing the game. Also, I have to ask, what games have already been released are graphically superior to Hellblade 2?
Also, let me know what game on PS5 has graphics comparable or is even better than Hellblade 2?
The hate that this game has garnered is getting ridiculous at this point. Most of it is from people who haven't even booted up the game. These developers spent years of their time making the game but just because it is exclusive to Xbox, almost the entire gaming community is going out of their way to discourage people from even trying the game. Stop worshipping these pieces of plastic.
You mist be late to the party.
Christopher submits most VideoGamer articles... because N4G is owned by VideoGamer...
Nevermind alt...
And 100% of those articles just happen to be negative Xbox and positive PlayStation 😂😂
Remember when we had 1 approved article for PS layoffs and 100 approved duplicate articles for Xbox layoffs?
😂😂
Yeah, waste of time arguing with them. Always that one alt to ruin the fun. :P
Anyway, graphics can still blow us away, but I'm not blown away by Hellblade either as I play. While the game does have industry-leading moments, it's not a complete shutout. Look at textures up close, for example. Or the water.
@obcurednewaccount: “Of course Christopher would submit this lol.”
You don’t learn do you expect to be closed soon 🤦🏿🤣
The graphics in the industry are getting less shocking than 10-15 years ago but now and then we get games that look great like like this new game from ninja theory.
“ You don’t learn do you expect to be closed soon ”
English mothafucka - do you speak it!?

🧐Tally ho good sir and good luck in your future endeavors looking for a new name less peasant 🧐
This person "MyDrip" is more likely the person you say it really is. One thing that stands out in "MyDrip" reply to you is that they always start their replies with what you wrote in your initial comment. They love to repeat what you wrote, again it's probably exactly who you say it is.
Elda - yes, I am obscure observer!
I’m buddies on discord with Chris and cl1983 so I won’t get banned 😇
Nothing to see here in the above comment but another alt account splooging over a glorified photo mode.
PS fans love a good photo mode though, no?
Or did that goalpost move now that an Xbox game looks better?
Imo Stellar Blade looks way better than the bland & drab Hellblade 2 & the gameplay in Stellar Blade is top notch, immensely fun than Hellblade 2. Hellblade 2 can't even do 4k/60fps on the XBSX...lol! Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.
Of course a PS fanboy would say that though.
And SB is made for weebs who jack it in their parents basement
''Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.''
Not to mention it's a 60fps game and on top of that a big open world with lots of things going all at once. ;)

Oh god, that 5fps water, was it made in MS Paint?
My eyes are bleeding piss now, thanks!
@MyDrip The pot calling the kettle black. You're clearly an XB fangirl. Praising a boring game that looks drab & bland when it comes to colors nor can the game that is mostly just walking can't even run at 4k/60fps on the XBSX...lol! That's pitiful & pathetic.
It’s 0k0fps on PlayStation 😂😂.
Its unfortunate the PS studios don’t develop games anymore
I personally don't like photo mode in any games. Don't use it, don't need it. This turd game used all 12 tErAFlOps of the Series X for each on-rail diorama scene with no substance and still cant do 60fps. I've seen older games look better on PC. Meanwhile your Xbox is hotter than your mom's bed.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
We are the hardcoriest bunch...I guess. But I know loads of core gamers too. And for the record, "core" is the dumbest and least original term I've ever heard.
I would have added some more classifications like the guy who plays more than anyone in the world, yet sucks a lot.
id say yea, Xbox owners are on average more hardcore than anyone else, but a good thing is we have a bigger diversification than other systems
Those are some pretty accurate statements. Sadly i dont fall into any of those categories, but for me that is a good thing.
wen is E3
on topic
i think ms is not going for hardcore anymore i think there going for casual and rpg people, and maybe a little of bit of hardcore but there focus is on casual and rpg
