King's Field/YMMV

• Americans Hate Tingle: The three games released stateside got very scathing reviews from almost every source. Even so, they have a cult following.
• Vindicated by History: While not in a way that changes all of opinions, the runaway success of Demon's Souls and especially Dark Souls helped clarify to its detractors what From Software was going for, and the series as a result is more respected and understood, if not liked.
