Looking for some validation XD

Simply put just posting a post to start being more involved in this community so here comes my controversial post!!!

I really really dislike 3d models for these games.

There I said it and have no regrets.






So to explain more I have played and enjoyed games that use those odd 3d models for their females and heck some of them got my engine reved up and ready to ..... well masturbate like all of us do here. But if I'm being honest I usually found myself attracted to these models in spite of their weird 3dness. Usually its because of the premise or story of why we are fucking them. Then after that the image grows on me.

so to make a long story short HI I'm coco and I was wondering if anyone else was tired of all the 3d girls in games?
#edit because i apparently had a stroke and all my ideas/spelling died on the floor.

I don't have a direct preference either way but tend to have more luck with 2D because the niche content which interests me tends to be easier to create well in that format. It's also much easier to create halfway decent (in context) animations in 2D because cartoonish exaggeration and symbolism (e.g. floating hearts) fit the aesthetic better and animation breathes far more life into the characters than a slightly more realistic art style. On the flip side live 3D Unity/Unreal games can look absolutely stunning, they just tend to be very vanilla and/or character creation tools more so than fully playable porn games.

BAM!! Thank you wise word smith for putting forward my own feelings onto this page. I fully agree that 2d games just lean toward the kinds of kinks I prefer. (My signature is a good example of those i find exciting) I also think that I can just appricate 2d art more than 3d. It seems like its harder to get close to the uncanny that way. What are some examples of really good looking 3D games?

I don't really have anything to add here I just wanted to say hi because I am also trying to be more active here and actually start talking instead of lurking like I have been for a while now. Though I will say that I agree that 2d games usually have more kinks that interest me and, depending on the artsyle, usually look better imo.

AI Shoujo/Honey Select 2 are used to create renders for quite a few still image games on this site but are playable games themselves. Mostly character creators though, and AI*S also has a house building mode. Or Koikatu for a deliberately anime-esque style. The tech behind the furry games like Rack 2 is pretty impressive too though I wouldn't call it "good looking" by most standards.

Past that it's mostly a matter of settling for the most competent DAZ stills relevant to your interests, for example Gates Motel is very heavy on the body hair and smell fetish and rather than the typical incest-romance the story is so ridiculous you don't make the mistake of trying to take it seriously. Abandoned (AATOFL) is a little dated but has a lot of content and definitely serves as an example of live animation making 3D much better.

But honestly I've had much more luck searching for fetishes or gameplay concepts and skimming the art than focusing on an art style and hoping to find some hidden nugget of enjoyable content. I haven't played Bones' Tales but if you enjoy turn-based combat/general 2D RPG mechanics you might enjoy Spiritbound as a middle ground between a 2D overworld and 3D characters/scenes. Bit light on the actual sex though unless you constantly run into goblins butt naked.
