It's a gimmick, but it's a damn good one, I think it's fucking dope as shit, and even if it wears off, so what, new games will come out, and then you'll be interested in seeing the 3D in that game.
You haven even play it to say if any of that even effect you. You just hijacking other people experience.Guild McCommunist said:I'd easily say 3D is a gimmick and a negative gimmick at that.
It's not only quite useless (in the end it's just eye candy), but it hurts your gameplay. It can halve the framerate, eat away at your battery, and in some cases, cause some irritation (like headaches or something).
I've said this time and time again but if I were to get a 3DS, the last thing I'd be buying it for would be the 3D.

Framerate is like least talk about and that was like one game.
And it isn't just "eye candy"

This is what gives me headaches. Trying to read your cryptic messages. 3d is kind of a gimmick but who cares as long as you enjoy it. Haters gonna hate.KingVamp said:You haven even play it to say if any of that even effect you. You just hijacking other people experience.

What I've seen is that people are really amazed by the effect... they're the normal consumers, usually fascinated by the things they don't know how it works and gimmicks like 3D without glasses ("WOW, seriously? How that works? Hey, it really works, AMAZING!").Nathan Drake said:Really guys, the 3D is just eye candy. It's fancy eye candy, but eye candy none the less. Once again, that isn't bad, but it is a relatively weak point to try to sell a system. I still want a 3DS at some point, but there is at least some denial happening in this thread.
Sadly though, the 3DS is just Nintendo trying to profit off of the the 3D boom going on. With the introduction of 3D televisions starting to enter mainstream more, 3D movies being released for said TV's, and 3D movies having been all over the theaters for at least a couple of years now, it is just the next big thing. In retrospect, I'm a little disappointed that the 3D is the big selling point of the system. I've seen little emphasis on the amazing library of games to come or anything of the like.
It's a society of gimmicks though. Hell, cellphones are sold by the sheer number of gimmicks that can be incorporated.
Welcome to consumerism.
WTF!?JasmineJewelThief said:I personally think Nintendo is trying to sabotage the industry. First they want us to get off the couch with the Wii. Now they want us to see things in 3D. We should all boycott them because if we wanted to move and view 3D we would be out in the real world.

Wasn't tons!!!Guild McCommunist said:Of course tons of other people say its a gimmick but since it's me you decide to argue. Oh joy.
Um, since when was drawing on facts and wide held opinions to support your argument bad? Fact is it can hurt your framerate. Fact is that it drains your battery. Fact is that it can cause headaches and some other minor irritations. The cons outweigh the pros.
I doubt that only one game in the 3DS library will take a hit on the framerate front from 3D.
EDIT: Your edit.
It absolutely is eye candy. The 3D isn't reliable enough to base a full game off of, which is why there's always an option to turn it off. Plus I've never had any troubles with depth perception in my video games. It's eye candy in every sense. Avatar (the blue people one) had 3D and it looked really pretty but that didn't save it from a mediocre plot and forgettable characters. 3D on the 3DS is the same thing. It can look pretty and interesting but it can't save a game from faults that have existed in gaming since its conception.

I'm saying if enjoying the 3D and doesn't effect you as you are playing then the negatives wouldn't be that much of a issue, if at all.
I mean the battery isn't infinite, I mean come on. Get a battery extender if it bother to that point.
And we just aren't going agree on usefulness of the 3D...
Did you even make a effort to try the 3DS yourself?
