Dark Souls - It's a series for proper gamers, not casual bitches like me.
Legend of Zelda- I just didn't enjoy it. I guess it's one of those games that appeals to proper gamers and/or people that were N64 players in those days. Because of this I've never really been interested in any Zelda stuff.
Minecraft- I just couldn't get past the graphics aspect. But it's also been a long time since I tried it. Maybe it would be different now.
Braid- It had good music and cool mechanics but I didn't get far. Again a game probably more suited for gamers.
dark souls is pretty fucking casual, hence its popularity
