Paragraph 1: Relatively seasoned gaming friend hails Dark Souls

Paragraph 2: Opposite to the common consensus, he prefers WW's visual style

Paragraph 3: Zelda has sported a multitude of art styles and is acclaimed for that


Paragraph 4: WW HD's sales are low. Opinions about that realistic TP HD would've been better.


Paragraph 5: Above is opposite to reactions regarding other franchises.


Paragraph 6: Thread title is basically presented as the OP's main question.


Paragraph 7: Visual style does not influence on the maturity of the game's theme.


Pointless thread.

I am sure youve taken an marketing class. ive taken that and commercial art and yes art style does imply market demographic in most cases.

Not quite sure if you're agreeing with my post or not?

In any case, I just think that it's such a convoluted OP wherein the stated 'facts' are mostly open to debate. If not entirely untrue.
