How then, do games like Dark Souls manage to stay relevant despite being the polar opposite of what I just described? The way most modern games are, they're designed to appeal to everyone While I personally dislike the term since it's got a negative aspect to it-at least in the gaming world, it is true in the sense that these games don't ask too much of the player and so is more accessible to a larger portion of the player base, especially since these games are less time-consuming. These sorts of games have the term 'casual' coined to it. The kill streaks, the time to kill, the way the map is laid out.it all comes together so that even the most average player on the battlefield can feel rewarded. The reason why games like the Call of Duty series remain popular despite there being (arguably) better choices out there offering a more immersive/realistic first person shooter experience is that they offer the path of least resistance to someone new to the game. After all, the larger the consumer base the higher chance the game will do well. In order to keep copies selling consistently, appealing to mass market is the safer way to go.
