Kingdoms of Amalur is a hardcore RPG too.
But honestly, I can understand people disagreeing with me about what's "hardcore" because my own definition pretty much includes most games in the RPG genre. Any game with lots of RPG elements to me = a hardcore RPG.
Skyrim has tons of elements that 10 years ago would have been reserved for the more nerdier among us. Same with Amalur. Hell, 15 years ago when I was in school only certain nerds played games like that. They were too hardcore for most people then and they still are, though it seems people have come around and being an RPG nerd is cool these days.
And I just go by feel. Those 2 games feel like hardcore RPGs to me, with their tons of dialog, tons of quests, tons of loot, tons of inventory management, etc.
I really can't recall an RPG I've played that I didn't think was hardcore. So take that for what it's worth.
