Also, for what it's worth, Dark Souls isn't nearly as difficult as people make it out to be. I find both Doom and Quake to be harder. On a very basic, abstract level, they are somewhat similar: enemies can kill you in a short amount of time, and gameplay is based around dodging incoming attacks. A major difference is that the aforementioned two have quicksave/load, but DS doesn't, which means it's not a good game for people lacking time (and time is money, as we all know).
As with anything popular, ignore the annoying fans. Example: look at any youtube comments about Doom mods.

Seriously - if this is going to be your attitude you might as well just turn around and walk away from here. Gaming attracts all sorts of personalities and if "casuals" bother you then you really need to take a long hard look at your life because whether you like it or not, one day you will become one of those "casuals" due to actually having to live, and you know, pay the bills.
I don't want to start shit, but this attitude is just as obnoxiously condescending as the "git gud" crowd. Whether it was your intention or not, the implication here is that anyone who plays difficult games is either a child or still living with their parents because they have "48 hours per day for getting gud". Tone is difficult to ascertain via text, but half the burden of understanding lies upon the one writing, so if that wasn't your point it would be nice to clarify that.
