it's a flaw. I hope the dev team nerfs puddings because of how trivial their're are to exploit.

4.Overall the complexity is there, i can admit it. Its however not any fun complexity, its absence from the game won't be noticed.
to each his own, I guess? I find Nethack's complexity very fun due to to how many different playstyles it allows and how much crazy shit you can do, and how consistent it is within those systems.
5.Weak and incoherent narrative. It seems the developers added everything they liked at the moment.
that's true, I'm not gonna pretend it has a good story. it's not really a narrative focused game so it doesn't bother me, but there were games which kept similar level of complexity while having a better story - e.g. ADOM

Why people think that game difficulty makes it hardcore? Is high-level tetris hardcore?

obviously people who compete for tetris grandmaster world records are pretty hardcore

Because it's hard, I mean seriously, it's the first half of the word ``hardcore''.

Nope. A can could be barely playable with insane level of difficulty but require only simple reaction skill, like pong with x10 the speed.
Pong is obviously not hardcore, right?

Hardcore=Time Pressure X Complexity
----------
Pong = Time Pressure
Nethack = Complexity
Correspondence Chess = Complexity
Timed Chess = Time Pressure X Complexity

Tbh Chads only play Mass Murder Simulators and Sports/Racing games.

Hardcore games have an absolute loss condition:a "Game Over".
Casual games allow unlimited "losing", allowing to recover/reset to status quo state.

Progressive games have no win/loss condition.

I play casual games. In fact the only games I play are racing games and GTAs. If there is just a tiny bit of strategy, frustration, or thinking involved, I shut it off. I have a huge todo list full of things that require those things. I don’t need it in my entertainment too.

I also only watch pleb casual movies like Avengers. I only listen to the most primal, plebeian music like normie dance music and mumble rap. I don’t want any neurons to fire unless it’s making me money or getting me pussy. Having “taste” is for losers.

No, I'm exactly like everyone else *except anime neets*, which has always been my goal.

Its harder to find people who never played a video game. With mobile phone use, even the remote jungles of africa are video gamers.

Turns out Diablo at its core is actually a roguelike

Shiren the Wanderer is a pretty good roguelike!
