The 3rd Birthday - a rant

To start this off, I have a love/hate relationship with this game.  On the one hand, it’s a fun, kinetic and challenging little action/RPG hybrid.  Even on the normal difficulty, the game is extremely unforgiving with a decent learning curve, leading to a frustrating, but rewarding experience.  Top off the sleek action and presentation with a relatively deep customization system and you’ve got one hell of a game on your hands.  I’ve played through it about four times now and still, the game is as cathartic and interesting as when I first booted it up.  On the other hand though, this game is a complete fucking asshole and practically goes out of its way to ruin the legacy of a character and franchise I cared very much about.
