Is 3D just inherently better than 2D? I think all games could do with an extra dimension if they can handle it.
>>330065267
No, the reverse is actually true. 2D grants you the information and precision to make interesting decisions. With a 2D gamespace, you are making judgments about position. In a 3D gamespace, you are making judgments about distance.
2D is actually better.
God no, are you stupid?

Is 4D better thab 3D?
I think all games could do with an extra dimension if they can handle it.
If 3D is so bad, why are you living in it right now? Think about boobs. Boobs are great but flat isn't.
>>330065489
>but flat isn't.
Get out.
>>330065474
Me too, that'd be awesome. What games can handle a 4th dimension?
>>330065525
i mean hes right
now who picks a record player over an ipod is a different question
>>330065569
literally any game with a persistent universe, i.e. MMOs.
Throw "nostalgia" accusations at me as you like, but nothing will ever beat 2D for me. Specifically top-down 2D.
2D fucking sucks dicks. Whoever thinks 2D is better it's a pcuck who spends 3 thousand dollars creating a "PRO GAMERZ PC" and ends up playing shitty obscure indies that can even run on my dick.
>>330065372
All of that is true about 3D.
I like 2D in the way I like old video game chiptune beep boop music. You're limited to what you can do in some way and you work to be creative within it.
2d platformers and 3d platformers are 2 separate genres and are completely different.
>>330065267
i think it depends on the genre. 3d platformers are better in 3d whiles 2d sidescrollers are better 2d
Terraria > Minecraft
>>330065267
Whatever best serves the game. 3D isn't inherently better than 2D or vice versa.

What's a cassette player?
>>330065553
He's right. It isn't. Is that you Natalie? You are flat and it's not cute.
2D is the reason I don't play Lone Survivor or Dundertale.
>>330065912
This because Mojang is complete cancer, not really related to 3D or 2D. If Minecraft had all the stuff Terraria has it would be better.
visual novels are always better in 2D than 3D
>>330065267
>Is 3D just inherently better than 2D?
no, there's plenty of great 2D games that could be cool in 3D but are fine as they are. take Starsector for instance, great game that probably wouldn't have worked out financially if the developers had to make it up to modern 3d game standards.
>>330065961
This.
They both have great and bad examples of their genre. But 2D games shouldn't be forced into 3D, and vice versa.

>You are now aware that Notch has 2.5 billion dollars
>Thats not even a 'hes worth some amount but only because of assets, ect', that's a literal 2.5 billion dollars in walking around money
>>330065267
2D games are better in 2D, but i prefer my 3D games in 3D
3D is a smarter choice but if you fuck it up it can be worse than 2D. except for puzzle games like mah johng and tetris
2D has better looking environment, 3D has better gameplay
debate me
>>330065679
I don't follow your leap in logic, but you're right about 3d being better than 2d
>>330066164
>really want to get into it
>but that fucking early game
Its so bad, he really needs to introduce more smaller groups of AI around the map so you can always find smaller engagements. 99% of ships roll in massive fleets.
M&B does it so right with its bandits and outlaws, you can always find some small group to take a swing at.
>>330065267
You posted a prime example of why you're wrong. Terraria Vs. Minecraft. Terraria is the better game hands down.
>>330065267
No, 3d games can be disorienting.
You should simplify and refine your core gameplay as much as possible. Some games don't need the Z axis.
>>330066254
I don't like how Zelda can't Jump in OoT, it ruins the 3D part for me. if I could just fuck around like in banjo kazooie, it might be better than Link's Awakening
>>330066254
2D can have a good environment and good gameplay
3D can have a good environment and good gameplay
debate me
>>330066320
it's not better because it's 2d though
>>330065267
Nope, a good 2d sprite will always be superior ton 3d.
>muh realism
>muh graphics
^both of these are worthless because no matter how good something looks in 3d, as soon as something better looking comes around it looks dated as fuck, while 2d relies on stylizing (never gets old due to inherently unrealistic artstyle).
>>330066316
early game can be rough but you just have to pick your battles, I haven't played vanilla in a while but if you're doing SS+/Nexerelin, just pick on low end bounties until you have the fleet to take on the bigger ones, and start yourself off with more credits/ships if you need to.
>>330066254
>3D has better gameplay
How is that? Often platformers / platformer sub-genres such as SMB3, Mega Man X, Super Metroid, Terraria, VVVVVV, Cave Story, Shovel Knight, etc. have far superior gameplay than that of generic modern "AAA" trash. I don't see how they would be better just for being 3D.
>>330066501
Yeah im doing vanilla, Ill get some mods to fix it up then
>>330066009
They're those things indie bands release their music on because vinyl is too mainstream.
>>330066601
there's a lot of high quality mods, but be aware that a lot of them make the game harder, for example SS+.
>>330065267
You're why so many N64 games were bad.
>>330066752
I thought the games were bad because you needed to be a 3 handed mutant to use the controller
If we're speaking purely from potential alone of course 3D is better.
>>330066507
3D is better for platforming
>>330067747
This is a vicious lie.
>>330065267
Depends on the genre. 3D doesn't always add anything to a game, and frankly can take away if done poorly.
>>330065679
show the courtroom where the indie developer touched you
Ace Attorney would be better in 3D
>>330067789
3d platforming allows for more variation, 2d platforming has been basically unchanged for the last 30 years.
>>330069505
t. someone that doesn't play platformers
