Just admit your wrong 
when a game comes out, first thing it gets reviewed. That's how it's recieved, theres no "after the fact"Do your googles if you have to. You might learn something
Bloodborne is still the king of PS4

I didn't read metacritic back then. But all I remember is people saying how hard slow and confusing the game was with shytty controls.
So much so that when i bought a PS3 I didn't even try to play it. I bought all the other hyped exclusives uncharted, killzone, etc.
A lot of those reviews and the story you posted were written well after the game came out and the series took off.

At the time it came out it wasn't even mentioned with the heavyweights. I just googled and it said it was not in the top 10 in sales when it came out and and U.S. Sales were about 250k.
In 2010 if you asked "PS Stan which games should I be playing on my PS3" Demons souls would not have been the answer.
The reviews were not after the series took off. They were right when the game came out. Cmon man that doesn't even make sense .
Sales were slow because it had ZERO marketing. People never even heard about it till reviews came out an word of mouth spread
I get your overall point about reception. But you might want to check the date of a lot of those reviews. I agree not a lot of people were mentioning it like a top exclusive. I don't even think IGN put it on their 25 game to own thing they do for PS3 even though they gave the game a 9.4.
I just went down through a handful of them into the scores that were low 90's and they were all form 2009 except for 2 French reviews that were 2010 cause the game came out in 2010 over there.
Lot's of big sites gave it a 9 or better on release. It def took a while to gain a lot of fanfare though.
I clicked on a couple of the top scored reviews and they were done after the game came out.
And again you gotta remember reviews scores then can't be compared to now. An 89 in 2009 is at least a 75 in 2016.
Back then a 80 was considered a bad game.
Metacritic was not popular back then.
No way 89 reviewers reviewed it in 2009.
Hell there probably wasn't even 89 review sites in 2009

Wtf is this historical revisionist bullshyt.
An eight of ten wasn't considered a bad game in 1989, 1999, 2009 or any other year or decade you want to mention. Some of us have been gaming and reading game mags for two decades, save your lies for the CoD babies.
You said it's barely a good game. I said it's a great game that people loved. I never said it's a huge game I knew the story behind it and how it had slow sales at first. Of course some of the reviews came out after. But it was clearly well recieved.Most of them, yeah
Demons was the first one. There's no question it's the worst. It's barely even a good game. Great foundation, but needed a lot more. Kinda like a lot of IP, the first one was just laying the groundwork.
I've gone through lengths as to why Bloodborne sits where it does in my opinion, and it has absolutely nothing to do with exclusivity.
That's Yall projecting cause the only reason Yall pretended to like the game is cause it's exclusive.
Bloodborne supposedly the best game of last year, yet none of you give a fukk about the follow up to the series
God damn stans
That's all I got. Have a good day man

89 being a 75
So reviews scores weren't generally higher back then?Wtf is this historical revisionist bullshyt.

Again playing dumb for arguments sake
Perception is different in 2016 than it is in 2009.You said it's barely a good game. I said it's a great game that people loved. I never said it's a huge game I knew the story behind it and how it had slow sales at first. Of course some of the reviews came out after. But it was clearly well recieved.

Hindsight is 20/20.
At @MeachTheMonster making shyt up as he goes along.Couldn't be more obvious dude hadn't even heard of the game until dark souls.
I bet he's never even played demons souls. Let's see the receipts.
I bought demons souls BECAUSE of how well received the game was like wtf.
Game had 0 marketing and relied on nothing but the critical praise and word of mouth.
Game wasn't originally even going to come to north America. Fans demanded it.
You're showing your complete lack of knowledge about the series in here.
It's only xthots that were late to the souls series.
Dark souls 2 has the lowest user scores across the board.
The fans spoke and it's the worst game in the series.
