> Whether you're one of the legions of hard-core Xbox players or someone who's only played with the game console casually, get ready for an all-new Xbox Live. >> Since the first announcement of the new approach to the massively popular service at E3 in July, some longtime fans have fretted that Microsoft is morphing it into a place for purely casual players at the expense of those for whom Xbox Live is nearly as much a home as where they actually live. >> Well, based on a demo I got recently of the (not quite finished) new version of Xbox Live, I'd have to say, fret no more.http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-10053868-52.htmlFret no more? The earlier announcement was what finally made me decide to sell that piece of shit console. The interface was the only thing that was somewhat decent about it.
"Casual gamers" can go and eat shit. They've fucked up the whole industry.

This new interface might make me never connect to live again. Ever. I'll buy a second Xbox for Live and forget about this cuntfaggotry new interface. I fail to see how the blades were confusing to people (which is MS' biggest argument) and this new interface does nothing the old one didn't except Mii- I mean, avatars.

Shit, I agree most games are nerfed to hell for noobs and casual players. Gears of War 2 is going to suck because of it. i mean come on the lancer is OP and the smoke grenades do more damage then before. It just makes me want to kill shit when they dumb down a game just so casual players can do good. Another example is Super Smash Bros. Brawl, They took away what me and my friends like to call space camping (when you hit someone off the edge and then jump out and use a down-a,on n64, move to kill them) they also made Ike, lucas, and Olimar. Oh and lets not forget Fable 3 I guarantee that it will be shit. If you are a casual gamer please turn off G4 and jump off a very large building, because you have ruined many games.

Guys…
when the fuck did we ever *NOT* have casual gamers? How many friends did you seriously have that cares as much as the Legend of Zelda continuity in contrast to the amount of people who liked to play Madden from time to time with friends?

@68,040We never had casual gamers before Nintendo invented the term as a stupid marketing ploy.

@68,053You mean back when they invented the
original Nintendo Entertainment System? "Hardcore" or competitive gamers (gamers who play for profit or recognition) are a fairly recent
minority group broken off from mainstream casual "for-fun" gaming.
