why did you not mention the true ending of parasite eve 1 the one that is canon
Which one is that? Let me know and I'll pin your comment :)
@@MyraSlokov in new game plus you can go to a bonus dungeon the crysler building
at the top you can fight trueeve and it gives some more lore stuff (i forget the details)
and its the canonical ending of parasite eve 1
@@ladyaceina Ah yes.. I don't think I added it because of its ambiguity and seemingly random insert. I'll still pin the comment so people know, I just saw it as an extra dungeon and maybe missed the part where it's the true ending? Cos it falls pretty flat when you do finish it - as in no unique CGI cutscene, just Aya leaves, the end, nothing special xD
@@MyraSlokov I thought the same I spent a week fighting through the Chrysler Building, fought "true eve" several times till I finally beat her, and then, nothing. I was expecting some kind of FMV or something !!1
I love your mocking attitude towards some of the more bullshit aspects. You're hilarious while also being very informative. This game was so confusing back when I first played it, but you actually make it understandable.
The fact that you used OST from one of my other all time favourite games during video of my favourite PSX game (Parasite Eve 1) is a huge pleasant surprise to put it mildly! I have never heard NFS 3 techno OST used anywhere!
Just found you today, stellar video. The first P.E. is one of my favorite games to this day, and I thoroughly enjoyed your review of this series. You're criminally under-subbed for the quality of your content.
Thank you for such a lovely comment! To be fair, I'm also lacking in video creating so the low subs are fair haha. I do hope to make another game analysis in the next few months :) Thanks again!
What an absolutely stellar gift of a video
Why thank you! :)
Amazing video!
My last playthrough of Parasite Eve is a while back, so this was a nice refresher on the plot of the games (The 3rd Birthday was even further back as I never bothered to replay it). It was also my first time of hearing about the plot of the novel/movie, so this was great to see. I love how you weaved the scenes of the movie into the discussion of the plot of the novel. You did a great job of explaining the plot, so that even somebody who has never played the games could easily understand what was going on.
As a Chemistry major who later graduated university in computer science, I absolutely hated my Biology classes, naturally sucked at them and were it not for the meme "The Mitochondria is the power house of the cell" I probably wouldn't even have remembered that part either. Even so, I myself found the idea of the plot to be pretty cool, hence why I enjoy the series as much as I did (at least the first two games). Watching your video I realized how much actual science was behind the plot, so you managed to gave me a newly found appreciation for the games, even though some of it turned out to be a bit of a stretch (but sometimes you have to do that for the sake of story). I also appreciated your theory on why the SWAT team showed up at the wedding as that was probably one of my biggest gripes about The 3rd Birthday. Great stuff all around, although I wished you would've gone a bit more in depth on your personal opinion on the games. Furthermore, you should've mentioned what a banger of a soundtrack the games have!
Looking forward to see what's coming next! If you're taking recommendations, I would like to pitch one of my favorite game series: Trauma Center. Like Parasite Eve, there is plenty of symbolism to be found, and a surprisingly deep plot. Currently there is five games in the series, with one of them being a remake of the first game and another a spin-off title set in the same universe, but unrelated to the plot of the other games. In any case, I'm excited to see what's coming next!
Thank you for such kind words and a massive post 8'D My personal opinion of 3rd Birthday was fairly clear, did not like it haha I sort of summed up my opinions in the conclusion, but it was really short xD;
I would have never guessed in a million years someone would suggest Trauma Centre... I've only played one of them but I do remember enjoying it. I'll definitely put it on my list! :D
@@MyraSlokov Trauma Center, or how many prefer to call it: Anime Malpractice Simulator! It‘s a wild ride with some clever gameplay ideas. Looking forward to tomorrow‘s stream!

The guy wanted to do speedrun mode with the bad ending.
Good video, this is my favourite game series from my childhood and it got me into biology.
I absolutely love this video. Thank you so much 💜💜💜💜
I struck gold finding this! I been thinking of using a lot of PE elements as inspiration for my DnD campaign and this is exactly what I needed! I am definitely subscribing.
Not sure if you stick to just video games to break em down, but very similar creepy themes I'd love your break down style of the manga plot of Elfen Lied and the entire "Diclonius" phenomena within that story.
I hope to get back into the swing of making videos :) I've had a busy year so far with other things but thank you for your kind words! A PE D&D campaign would be sick, good luck with it!
Truly fantastic!
This is the analysis this series deserves!
This was an awesome find. Great job.
Thank you very much :) Makes it all worth researching and losing my mind over hehe
woohoo!!! Love this game but I only ever played the first one. Time to get educated. :D
The first one is all you ever need to play lol
Wow great video, needs more viiiieeeews
Thank you! Makes working on these long videos worth it - even though lately I haven't had any time... Thanks again!
The whole stuff with Third Birthday is why it is labeled an alternate timeline and not a true sequel
What a cool lady
Yesssss
Man I wish I could play the first and second game again without a pc or psp. Such a great series. Never even heard of the 3rd birthday before today.
ETA: I wish I could play them without shelling out 100s of dollars for them haha
finally watched it all and this was a very impressive video. its very interesting how different the book and movie was.
also just want to throw this out there but turd birthday was well...turds lol
Damn, why didn't I think of turd birthday? D:
Very informative! See, I knew there was a movie (but didn't know if it actually tied in or not), beat the first game, watched a playthrough of the second game, and nope'd out of the third one as soon as I heard them butcher the opening theme of the first game... but I didn't know that the novel was the origin of the series, or that a manga was made
That and it helped me learn the plot of the third game... and makes me glad I skipped out on it X'D
Though I want to mention one thing you missed plot-wise for the first game (unless, of course, you DID bring it up and I ended up missing it somehow haha). When you were discussing the book plot, you mentioned Eve child's form changing to a male, implying the male and female mitochondria are at war or something. I'll copy/paste the info on that from a wiki:
"Because the sperm Eve obtained from Dr. Nagashima had a line of male mitochondria that will be extinct if Eve's mitochondrial strain becomes dominant, a rebellion takes place within the ultimate being's body causing it to switch between male and female.
Eventually, Dr. Nagashima comforts the creature and tells that it can have as many offspring as it or she wants, but she will never reproduce her father. He then embraces the creature as it dies to avoid the energy unleashed from killing any more people.
In the film adaptation of the novel, the Ultimate Being is never born."
To go back to the game plot, Maeda says the following:
"Recently, it appears he was conducting research on artificial sperm... for Eve, of course. He wanted to exclude the mitochondria from the sperm and create new sperm... Sperm with no parasites... Sperm with only the nucleus..."
and
"He took the sperm that he created here and moved it to the hospital... There, he would artificially inseminate those who would volunteer for the experiment."
Which was what the HLA sheet was for, apparently.
So essentially they're saying that the only reason the Ultimate Being was successfully born in the game is because the sperm she used had no mitochondria to combat her own due to being artificially created... somehow. Idk, it's still weird, and I use the term "successful" loosely because you still destroy it in the end, kinda making it not so Ultimate X'D
ANYWAY, that aside, the video is still great, and I love the jabs you made at stuff, including a few I've made on the first game XD
Damn I love your dedication to this comment. I did miss that whole sperm thing from the book, thank you! You start to go insane when you research things to the bone heheh
@@MyraSlokov I can imagine haha
It's all good though, the series ends up forgetting about that kind of shit after the first game anyway, so whatever XD
Though I DID forget to include one other thing from the first game in my initial comment:
After beating the game, you get EX Mode, which does nothing super different aside from starting you off immediately with the armor and gun you rename in the first playthrough of the game. It also gives you access to the Chrysler Building, which is a 77 level maze of monster battles, where the enemies are tougher than in the base game, and every 10 floors is a boss battle with a checkpoint for each boss you defeat. There is also a shitload of items to find in the various dead ends and such. Oh, and it randomly generates on each new file, so there's no real ability to find a map to follow as far as I'm aware.
Apparently at the end you fight Eve and experience the true ending to the game, but I don't actually know what said true ending is... I may have to try looking it up or something, cuz I don't see myself ever earning it on my own file haha
Two hours!!
How have you been Myra.
I have been busy with this. Now I have all the free time haha just in time for going back to work.. how about you?
@@MyraSlokov Recenly been on a trip with a friend outside of town.
@@johanandersson8252 That sounds lovely... I cannot wait to go back home to Canada and hang out with friends
😂Oh crap😂
Daniel only drives at Ludicrous Speed.
BTW This game doesn't need to be Resident Evil, because it's better.
is... it normal to not at all understand the plot of 3rd Birthday??? what even was that... I don't...
I can see why no one likes it.
