discussion Do you prefer 2D or 3D games?

[Rads95]

Between those 2 options, I prefer 3D. I don't dislike 2D but I like more the 3D models.

3D because of realism

 

[hajimawizard50]

Both are good, i usually go for 3D games but theres the issue of the models being really bland and generic looking its especially bad when the MC is shown and I remember playing a game where it was 3D but had little to no animation at all which resulted in it getting dropped.

I haven't played a lot of 2D games but most were good so far

In my opinion it goes something like this
Great 3D games > Great 2D Games > Average 2D Games > Average 3D games.

I prefer 3D. Don't mind 2D, but yeah, more for 3D.

 

[hobry411]

Depends what kind of mood I'm in, I will most likely lean towards 3d for the animation and realism. I might go between phases where I'll go full 3d for weeks and then some 2d.

3d games on average better but nothing beats a really well drawn 2d game

 

[Rad_eater]

I like 3d games but 2d can offer some unique art styles. I think either can be overly generic sometimes. Just got to find the good ones.

2D is for story, 3D is for plot ;D

 

[badboy696]

I enjoy both, but i rather play 3D in renpy and 2g in rpgm.

 

[Ciri]

Both of them have advantages and disadvantages. I like both of them.

100% this for me. I feel like bad 3D can easily ruin a game while 2D is most of the time okayish

I certainly play way more 3D games, I guess it's just harder to make quality 2D games. And no, there's no chance I will ever try those games that look like they were hand-drawn by someone's nephew. That's just not ever going to cut it.

 

[Vindex Indomitabilis]

In my opinion a high quality 2D game Blows 99% of 3D games out of the water

 

[jabax69]

I prefer 3D, but can enjoy both

 

[NerveTrooper98]

I understand when a 2d games is reviewed really well, but I can just never get into them as much as I can with 3d ones. So 3d for me

 

[Jakeisone123]

I feel like 3d games are way more common

 

[johnny_reb_21]

prefer 3d but have seen some really great 2d art

OP probably means renders vs hand-drawn, because technically all AVN's are 2-D. As for the question itself, i always check new hand drawn games, even if their theme isnt that interesting to me, because there are always some artristy behind hand drawn graphics. In comparison all games with renders look samish, because most of them share assets, which detracts from experience.
In my opinion from highest to lowest is: 1) hand drawn/quality tracing ( EvaKiss games ), 2) quality AI "drawn", 3) DAZ and VAM renders, 4) koikatsu/other illusion powered games, 5) real porn.
This is purely how games pick my interest and do not represent actual quality of the end product obviously. For example HTML real porn game College Daze i would rate way higher than majority of games with "proper" graphics.

3D. Many 2D games reuse assets.
