I do not play those games anymore, it was serval years ago I did so.
I'm more of a fan of games with a deeper story, games with a bit of artistic feeling and advanced tactic games ^^
You've got a point in what you are saying, but I still don't really agree on calling that hardcore gaming.
It would be like putting myself in the same group as those 12 years old kids calling themself hardcore gamers because they have spent s**t loads of time on CoD and managed to make a half-assed video of them going around quick-scoping.
But the most annoying conversation I've ever had with one of those calling themself hardcore gamers was on Minecraft, when I played on a quite large open server, when I was going to assist on a larger project, I were invited on skype with them.
The other guy: Do you listen to Hardstyle?
Me: Eh, yes?
The other guy: Cool, then you are a hardcore gamer too.
Me: Ehm, Hardstyle doesn't make you a hardcore gamer. I mostly listen to it for dancing purpose, not gaming.
The other guy: But only hardcore gamers listen to Hardstyle.
Me: *facepalm*
