6th Gen Do you play with 3D turned on or off?

  • I keep it off. I have never really liked 3D. Spy Kids 3D: Game Over pretty much killed 3D for me because the glasses hurt my eyes. I have always considered 3D effect a waste of money.

    The entire reason I bought the 3DS was for the 3D effect, and I'm very disappointed that the entire game doesn't use this amazing feature. I play with 3D on all the time, but it's annoying that only certain areas and battles actually take advantage. Nintendo really dropped the ball there.

  • I usually keep it off 'cause when I turn it on it seems to cause the battle to lag a little and the text is slower.

  • Off. My eyes start to feel like they are stressed out after awhile when I have it on.

  • I occasionally turn it on, I love the 3DS feature but I have to find a comfortable position for it not to hurt my eyes, and that takes forever :3

    Off. I think I've turned it on once or twice, but only for a very brief moment. Not a big fan of playing in 3D for prolonged periods of time. Not to mention the framerate hit.

    I never do, but it's mostly because I never remember to turn it on. For some reason or another it just doesn't ever occur to me. I tested it out once after I first got the system, but not since then. Anyways, I'm of the opinion that 3ds games shouldn't NEED the 3d function to be visually impresive, at least for hand held standards.

  • I usually have 3d turned off because I think it has a bit higher quality 2d. But that is not to say that I dont like 3d.
    A lot of the time it can be an up an down vicious cycle of 3d or 2d xD

    I noticed a slight discernment when I turned my 3D on. A slight one unfortunately. For the most part, I played with my 3D off, but I tried to turn the 3D for most of the Gym and E4 battles, and the cutscenes.
