This website must have given up hope for anything 3D anime.
I'll never understand how you can look at all these 2d stuff and still think its accurate and believable. I see those 2D animations and its just whacky. Only some with audio voice work makes it enjoyable but it just outright looks like a corrupted file being played you might think static imagery are better for 2D games and should never have been animated.
Lots of pixel titles are on dlsite front page and very popular rn. So I don't believe your "let us pixel lovers have some titles for pete's sake". You have a rich amount of them and ci-en shows an avalanche of pixel games are still following up the next years. So you're well fattened up for the next years, except for 3D anime games and I also don't mean the trash western realism junk. Guess we have one thing in common. Although cell shading are deal breaking. Smooth shading > cell shading.
3D>2D just for the default level of immersion it provides in every game that isn't another VN.
for me personally, i find 3D a bit janky for most of the game i see in this site (hmu with good 3D games if you got one)
and rather, the opposite of immersion for me, especially on some of koikatsu type game, where the pussy doesn't move or shi
reason why Pixel Art are far more engaging for me is that if they really made a great animation, the fluidity, the creativity on how they make things to a certain shape
sometimes, Pixel Thighs are somehow much more thicker than 3D thighs
well but i understand that some people have a different prefrence, but for me, Pixel art made me imagine things not the way it showed it self
The illusion of Pixel making things much more thicker and rounder
Edit : And most of the time, pixel art/2d style have much more engaging gameplay, and sometimes i come for the sex, stayed for the game,
