>>1270423 You have to be more specific.Do you mean the 3D aesthetics meeting 2D gamplay, like DKC? Do you mean 2.5D gameplay a la Doom? Is it any kind of 2.5D aesthetics, including a isometric playing field? 2.5D means multiple things.

>>1270493 Like when a game's graphics are 3D but the gameplay is 2D

>>1270616 Fair! For your question, I have not played with games on 2D field yet with 3D graphics. I meddled a bit with DKC, but I have not gone deep enough into it to say I've played and enjoyed it. The one game that follows your OP I believe I've played the heaviest was Ori and the Blind Forest. While it is one of the easiest Metroidvania, it is well made and polished enough to keep me entertained the fifty hours I poured into it. I'm actually surprised that there are not more Metroidvanias with 3D graphics. I think Bloodstained has 3D as well as the recent Metroid: Dredd, but I have only played the beginning part of Bloodstained and none of Dredd (Never bought a Switch and probably never will). The other well know modern Metroidvanias are all in 2D, like Luna Nights and Hollow Knight.

I like marina from shake shake

That’s a gorilla dough

2.5D games a shit (usually)

>>1270423 Why do people say DKC2 is better than 1? I remember playing both as a child and hating 2

>>1270423 Not sure how many of those even existed. 3D models rendered into weird looking sprites was, as I recall, a very short-lived phenomenon that people generally agree subsequently aged like milk. - Rise of the Robots - Super Mario RPG - Treasure Hunter G - ??? >>1310503 I can kinda see that. I played 1 and 2 last year and found 2 to be littered with dumb mechanics and noob traps. >It's a barrel only dixie can go in. <Why tho? >Because her picture is on it. <Ah, well. That explains everything.

>>1310503 As an over all I like 1 more than 2. As individual elements there's a number of things that I prefer 2 over 1. Dixie's probably the biggest and no I don't mean just for hot loli monkey sex reasons. My Ideal CKC game would be 1 but with some subsequent stuff added in as well. >3D models rendered into weird looking sprites was, as I recall, a very short-lived phenomenon that people generally agree subsequently aged like milk I am not one of those people. I live the mook and would like it to make a comeback. You're also forgetting >Killer Instinct >Clay Fighters (lol) >arguably the 2D MK games (actually were real people, and a few stop motion puppets, but beyond that the process and end product was basically the same) If you're expanding it to backgrounds and not just sprites then it was a hell of a lot of games.

>>1310503 DKC2 has hot monkey girl and pirates. More flavour. What's really a crime is people hating on DKC3, which is easily the best of the three.

>>1311954 I don't like how they tweaked some of the kremlings though. I really prefer 1's bosses more. They were more memorable despite seeming like they were last minute ideas. The two K. Rool fights in 2 were great though.

New Super Mario Bros

>>1313501 The bosses in 1 are decent but they're repetitive. You fight a green hopping gnawty and then a brown one. There's two bird heads. Two bees (iirc). The only really uniquely good boss is k-rool.

Does Isometric count? Or 3D models being used for 2D sprites. If it's the latter, Tooth and Tail did extremely well with making 3D models look like sprites while being isometric.

>>1313722 You forgot the greatest DKC boss of all.

>>1270423 Easily The Sims, replaying that game is hilarious because if it released 10 years later there was no way it'd get a T rating, even with the whole "NON ALCOHOLIC DRINK" thing.

>>1310503 dkc1 is straightforward, go through the levels to win. dkc2 and 3 are "find the secrets then get to the super special levels dood". most people are going to think thats rad.

>>1426551 El barril

>>1311954 I don't like how you have to pay to save in 2. That just bothers me the whole time and it makes me not feel comfortable saving or taking a break. Seems small, but significantly decreases the fun.
