A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Really scary 2D horror games? (lemm.ee)

I am fascinated by games with 2D art that still manage to give you a good scare. I guess what I find interesting is if a game can manage to translate the scares and audio design which we know from 3D environments and movies. I have never really played any though. I would love to hear some suggestions, especially with Halloween coming soon!

That's 3d tho

[–] Daefsdeda@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it tho? Yeah you have maybe levels in a house, but more than that no. It is Y symmetric, which I find 2D.

[–] FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, yes it is 3d.

Damn crazy argument back. I don't even care who is right or wrong but arguing with you fullfills no purpose.

[–] FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Argument? Dafuq? It's a measurable fact, no argument to be had, if you want to deny it in your head cannon because of the lack of verticality that's completely fine, but that doesn't change what it is.

I love it when people get way to worked up on the internet and start getting salty without saying anything with content.

Isometric is a 2D way to make 3d visuals. So okay semantics, answer is, depends on the way you look at it.

Isometric is a perspective, I never said anything about it not being isometric, I said it's 3d. Again, if you want to not consider it 3d for the sake of your head canon that's fine, but it's factually 3d regardless.
