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

    Just something I've always been curious about, working in a games store I get people asking me all the time how I feel about the 3D effect on a 3DS and using it for long periods. Personally I've found whenever I use it I find my eyes hurting after a few mins...

    So, do you keep it on or off? And when it's on do you have it at full or a lower level?
     
    I have it on, but at its lowest setting. Very rarely do I turn it all the way on, and more often than not I tend to have it off. The lag and slower frame rate that others complain about when the 3D is on doesn't bother me though. Actually, I tend to barely notice any change when I have 3D on.
     
    Definitively off :)) It kept my device work longer and so I go faster in the game :D
     
    I mostly have it off, especially if I'm playing later on when it's dark since it hurts my eyes a bit if I leave it on for too long but I do like having it on sometimes.
     
    I keep it off unless something exciting is happening (ie. Mega Evolution, an area in 3D such as select caves, or a regular evolution). The dropped frame rate during battles is really distracting to me so I very rarely use it during battles.
     
    I love 3D in other games, like Luigi's Mansion, DKCR 3D, Kid Icarus, Paper Mario, Ocarina of Time 3D, Mario Kart 7, yada yada and almost always have them on.


    But I will never, ever use the 3D in this game. It is the worst in the system and it kills the frame rate. Disappointing.
     
    Off. If any if you get a 3D feel out of it, then that's that. I defintely don't get a 3D feel from it. Thus no reason for me to use it.
     
    I have it on max all the time, never once have I noticed a frame rate drop. I guess my eyes are just used to 3D :D
     
    I don't really play it in 3D, other than for the occasional novelty use. Not that I'd like my battle frame rate plunging into the teens and not rising above it when I have 3D enabled. It comes to me as no surprise that it's not even an option in most of the overworld and in any battle with more than two participants...
     
    I usually keep it on, but not to full power. I've found that if you look at the 3DS from straight on, it doesn't hurt your eyes. But if there's just a LITTLE angle, your eyes start to hurt.
     
    I have it on unless I'm playing lying down. I have to hold the screen at a certain angle to my vision so I don't see the two images that make 3D.... And when I'm lying down, it's usually not going to be at the right angle.
     
    I tend to keep it off, though sometimes I'll switch it on if something super exciting is happening.
