The TRUE reason why 2D games remain superior

Haven't read it, yet, but oh, hey, looks like another bait thread that will somehow devolve into civil discourse.

I must admit I have engaged in some civil discourse in this thread.

2D games may not be universally considered "better," yet they shine in areas such as precision, artistic style, design clarity, and accessibility. Rather than competing with 3D games, they coexist harmoniously, frequently providing more concentrated and fulfilling experiences.

All I know is I like 2D Mario games WAY better than the 3D ones.

2D games are simply better for the environment. Uses 33% less D per game than 3D.

4D would be DANGEROUS. the CPU would provide unlimited savestates like an emu... but every time you set one, when you resume you find yourself in a completely transfigured gameworld with completely different controls n non-euclidean environments where aLL previous intuition means less than 2 tickets to FUCKALL n IRL wouLd warp into complete abstract paradigms where you realize you're just a 2D waLL wearin a hat - lookin for the gold 8-ziLLion lifetimes ago you were promised by ppl who never existed.

...yea 4D's a gamestranger. NO MICROSONYTENDO, DOOOONNN'T DOOOO EEHHHHTTTT *in deep-voiced melodramatic slo-mo with arm out useLessLy*

If an alternate reality version of me save stated itself into existence, I would kill him before he kills me. Because clearly I am already thinking about this scenario, he would have to. Can't risk it

Don't have anything to add. Just wanted to say this is a good community

I dunno about that, I feel some 3d have done much better for some games. To be honest, it really depends on the developer as some i know does really great 2d games, while a few others do really really great 3d games. When technology and programming improves, so does the art....but not necessary the game.

2D and 3D games both have their charm yet 2D still wins it out for me.
