So peoples of #Gaming, I've noticed that a lot of you don't exactly have fondness of anything casual. Most notably; Battlefront. I don't know if it's just me or this is really a common thought amongst gamers, but is it really that bad to play a shooter that you can just play for the sake of playing a game? Like I wasn't aware that every game needed you to be an MLG elite player to enjoy.
So enlighten about this, is casual gaming really all that bad?

People like to confuse casual for accessibility and wide appeal. If the game is so 'casual' and 'easy', then they should have no problem winning every match and placing on the podium, yet they don't, and then they blame it on the gameplay or faction imbalance or what have you. People seem to think that a game's difficulty revolves around them. They think that if a game is 'casual', then everyone else playing is 'casual' except them, which is not the case. If it's supposedly too easy for you, then the same could be said about your opponents, and everyone else playing; it's also easy for them. Thus, you get a level playing field. In other words: newsflash, making a game more accessible != making it casual. Sometimes you annihilate the other team, and sometimes they obliterate you. I can't believe there are people who don't understand this, people who seem to think that they would dominate in a 'casual' shooter like Battlefront It's almost like thinking you'd be above everyone else at Dodge ball. I mean, it's surely a casual sport given that the objective is simply to hit the other players with a ball.
