@phoebebebe13 There are very different definitions of "casual game". Urban dictionary says that it is any game which you don't like. It also says that if you like the game then it is a hardcore game ;)
But Wikipedia says:
"A casual game is a video game targeted at or used by a mass audience of casual gamers. Casual games can have any type of gameplay, and fit in any genre. They are typically distinguished by their simple rules and lack of commitment required in contrast to more complex hardcore games. They require no long-term time commitment or special skills to play, and there are comparatively low production and distribution costs for the producer.
Casual games are typically played on a personal computer online in web browsers, although they now are starting to become popular on game consoles and mobile phones as well. Casual gamers are typically older than traditional computer gamers, and more often female, with over 74% of casual gamers being female."
TS4 is just too big a game to be calls casual and the Sims games are usually not known for their lack of commitment by their fans either ;)
Wiki gives more of the definition I stated. Casual game is low end, simple rules can be played on any kind of computer/tablet/phone
casual gamer is just someone who does not game a lot , does not usually go out and buy a gaming computer. There are many who refuse to buy a gaming computer if they are only playing the sims which some are finding out is a mistake being in the tech threads. We even have people who claim they only play the sims and want to game a PC game on tablet. The sims does require a gaming PC
There are Hardcore sims fans however this does not make them hardcore gamers.
My son is a hardcore gamer. Has a gaming PC, Playstation 2, 3, 4 , a wii u , psp and a new 3ds. He owns at least 600 games maybe more. I classify myself as somewhere in the middle :p
