discussion Do you prefer 2D or 3D games?

[pur]

i like the old 2ds and new 3ds. But overall its both very good

It depends on the game I'm playing. If the art style is more artistic, I prefer 2d, But if the game has realistic graphics and characters, I prefer 3d.

Actually, i prefer 2D. I find they're the most engaging, with better art and gameplay. 3D can be good sometimes, but the art tries to make the characters look realistic, but instead make them look awful and ugly. 2D is king.

same option 3d some times just turns in ugly mess

Exactly, 3D should be realistic or at least pleasant to the eyes. I have seen so much cheap 3D art

The best games I had were drawn in 2D, maybe someone relates

 

[dr4amk]

2d or anime stylized 3D

 

[protons]

3d if done right.

 

[YoloYeet]

3d all the way. i like it when its animated

 

[Hypertext3087]

Good renders in 2d, might be nice, but in 3d it's more detailed, dépends of the day i play, each day is différent

 

[solaris22222]

I like both, but if I was forced to choose, I prefer 3D.

3D tends to create a way better universe for the storyline. 2D can be good for games that don’t rely too much on a story, like Slave Hunter.

I really enjoy both 2D and 3D games, as each offers unique experiences—2D games often have a and straightforward gameplay, while 3D games provide immersion and stunning visuals. However, in the end, I have to say I prefer 2D games because of their nostalgic feel and the creative simplicity they bring to gameplay.

I tend to prefer 3D more, but both 2D and 3D with great graphics are pretty rare. I'm also not so fond of most anime/manga styles, so a majority of jp 2D games falls for me in the "meh" or "visually unappealing" category. Also a majority of 2D games of the apst 2 years seems to be AI CG, and it all looks kinda same-ish. So with the rest of the handcrafted 2D Games, my expectation of quality are a lot higher, before i dislike the art, whereas with 3D the range is a lot wider for it be still okayish or bearable.

if the art is good enough it really doesn't matter to me.

I prefer 3d game than 2d but there are few 2d games that I can say that are really good ones. Also 2d game with good story is better than 3d game with shit story

 

[MrSunDragon]

Mainly 3d but for the most part it's heavily dependent on artsyle and design

 

[Eve D'Apple]

Mediocre 3D is better than mediocre 2D, but high quality 2D, rare as it is, is king.

If the 2D game is hand drawn, I prefer it. Sadly my favourite kinks are mostly found in 3D games.

 

[robinivanov]

love 2D, especially when handdrawn!

 

[putquid]

i definitely love 3d more, but I can always appreciate good 2d games
