Comments on: Thoughts on 2D and 3D game design http://loudnoises.org/blog/2008/03/05/2d-3d/ Writer Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:47:33 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Boris Stoke http://loudnoises.org/blog/2008/03/05/2d-3d/comment-page-1/#comment-9 Boris Stoke Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:17:25 +0000 http://loudnoises.org/2008/03/05/update-on-playing/#comment-9 Planescape is fairly incredible and I have to admit that when I tried it I was very impressed. I can see your argument that 3D still has a ways to catch up to that incredibly in-depth game... but let's be fair, no other 2D games are even as in-depth. I adore Planescape because it actually feels like an actual role-playing game, but at the same time it's completely overwhelming. There's so much to read, so much to look into, and so on. I would love another attempt that gradually gets the player into reading over everything but even so it's wonderful and I want to play more. However, some real character customization would have been preferred. Planescape is fairly incredible and I have to admit that when I tried it I was very impressed.
