TGH: The 3rd Birthday Review

TGH Writes: It’s been nearly over a decade, since we last saw Aya Brea in action. It’s time for her to return and save the world from its ultimate destruction in The 3rd Birthday. Unlike Parasite Eve I & II, the 3rd Birthday feels like a completely different game. Taking it into somewhat into a different direction then before with story and gameplay. Should this be a birthday to be celebrated? Or will it get completely twisted. Find out within this review of The 3rd Birthday.

Was looking forward to picking this up but all the mediocre reviews are really not helping its case.

Totally agree. It looked like a cool TPS but now all the camera angle issues and bad reviews have definitely put me off. Will wait till it drops around £15.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle16d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger16d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag16d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg20d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
