Machinima.com has posted my review of The 3rd Birthday. As a Parasite Eve fan and a fan of developers working on this game, I was expecting greatness. Instead I got…uh…goodness. Aside from amazing graphics, there’s nothing all that special about the game and it has little to do with its predecessors. Here’s a quote from the review:
One of the biggest changes in the game is Aya Brea’s characterization. In the first Parasite Eve, she was a strong NYPD officer that kicked ass and didn’t shove sexuality down your throat. That characterization is completely out the window in The 3rd Birthday. Aya still kicks ass, but due to (convenient) amnesia doesn’t possess the strong spirit she had in the other games. Her clothing also shreds as she incurs damage, so you’ll spend a lot of time staring at her legs and ass. There’s even a shower scene that seems like it was included to titillate gamers with a glimpse of her boobs. Aya is definitely hot (uh…you know, for a videogame character, I mean), but what the hell happened to the strong warrior that captivated gamers in Parasite Eve?!?
I’m quite proud that I was able to use legs, ass, and boobs in a review.
Anyway, please check out my review if you have a moment and leave a comment at Machinima if you have two moments. Thanks!!!
Nice bro I'm still playing PE1 which is a great game. As you know I went to CO for a few days. My girlfriend and I went to her dads place and she found FF7! Black label too, no greatest hits round these parts lol.
Wow. If it's in good condition you can still fetch a lot of money for that game on eBay.
Yea she didn't understand why I was freaking out. She knows that I love the game but I had to explain the black label vs greatest hits things then she went on Amazon and Ebay and truly understood my excitement. Since we love numbers I would say the discs are at a 7/10 overall, the 2nd disc is damn near perfect and the other two have some minor scratches. No skipping so far!
@BB
you lucky mofo!
Read and commented.
I think I commented, but I don't know if it worked or not. What I said was that I was thinking about getting it, but I'd wait for a while; plus, I hope it comes out for NGP to fix some of those gameplay problems.
