Games targeted at a niche audience vs large audience

[deleted fren]

Company pandering to niche audience = they have a higher standard to live up to and have to make sure their product is up to snuff so they don't lose them.
Company pandering to large audience aka normies = they have much less to live up to and will continually streamline and dumb down core gameplay to expand to an even larger audience

FromShit with Elden Ring Nightreign

I will forgive them if they fucking release Demon's Souls and Bloodborne for the PC.

 

[CroatianManlet2]

But then normalfags end up trying niche games and completly ruin it with their faggotry

 

[Frail Link]

the remake craze

 

[Antorian]

Total War franchise

Crusader Kings 2 (kino) to Crusader Kings 3 (normie garbage)

This is why gaming, comic books, metal music, etc. were all better when they were just full-on niches. No cunts, faggots or normies around to fuck around with it since they didn't care for it back then. Remember when nerds got beat up in school because they liked DnD or Star Wars? That doesn't happen anymore. Now "everyone" is a fan. It absolutely sickens me. Fuck the internet-era for allowing this shit. This is literally why Globalism is so gay.

In niche communities, you also get to talk with the devs.

gatekeeping is good

 

[Skelly]

gatekeeping is good

No such thing as gatekeeping, that is just cope
Good luck "gatekeeping" when the company that owns your favorite game starts pandering to normies

FromShit with Elden Ring Nightreign

Nightreign is a expermit explain to me how a trail and error,high difficulty appeal to norime I know you guys dont like fromsoft but how do they appeal to norime when their game design is anti norime

 

[ToBurble&Pine]

how do they appeal to norime when their game design is anti norime

FromShit games get dumbed down every game to appeal normies and not overwhelmed them , each game has less mechanics than the game before
Bloodborne all builds are similar if not identical
Sekiro is just parry and attack
Elden Ring is a flask spam fest with no punishment for dying, bosses areas are now just a circle or a square, can't get invaded if you're alone, no weapon/armor durability, spirit ashes, etc

All of this in order to trick normies into believing that they're good, when in reality there isn't much to take into account to play at a decent level, which it is the only skill level that FromShit games have to offer (a.k.a Pro-Normie)
