people don't actually like playing games in isometric

I like it with mouse controls. But shit like ff-tactics I just can't get into it due to its controls. Mario RPG had some of the worst platforming ever. Also that one treasure game was shit

Some people prefer it due to nostalgia. Devs prefer it because simpler graphics look better from far away.

In an ideal world all RPGs would have graphics like The Witcher 3, but unfortunately that kind of quality is expensive - CD Projekt S.A. can only afford it because Poles work for low wages.

I am ashamed of being white #dicklet #privilege #cuck

I think I'd prefer a something like Dragon Age Origins where you can scroll down between isometric and 3rd person

I meant "look as good as" The Witcher 3, not being locked to the same perspective.

So what if I do?

>>378273937
then you're a fan of a genre that can only be supported by hardcore fans donating to kickstarters

>>378272957
it's a niche genre at this point, but it's a good view for wrpgs. it's actually oblique projection view, but whatever.

>>378272957
All RTS's, MOBA's, and Diablo-esc RPGs are isometric. What's wrong with it?

>>378272957
Fucking love it.

>>378272957
User display isn't enough for me to be turned off of a game
Unless it's to a major extreme like Dwarf Fortress or some of the more complex roguelikes

>isometric camera is a genre
Shut up imbecile

>>378272957

Not that one at least.

I like Diablo II, Fallout, and the Sims but I can't get into Disgaea or Tactics Ogre because I'm too used to the top-down view of FE and Advance Wars. So it depends on the genre.

>>378274745
crpgs specifically are shit for this

>>378275690
Which view perspective do you think is better without increasing the graphics?

>>378272957
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy was an awesome game. Good for bonding with your little brother.

>>378275690
>>378276480

Like NWN2 or Dragon Age Origins without shit camera controls

>>378272957
I liked Wasteland 2 and XCOM

>>378275154
Considering it's basically only CRPGs that do it, he's not 100% wrong.

Don't rts games like age of empires and command and conquer use an isometric view?? Or is that considered top down?

>>378278375
isometric view lends itself better to strategy games since seeing everything in clear view makes it easier to micro manage

>>378278505
Right so this

there is literally nothing wrong with any given perspective, all that matters is how the game around it plays

>>378278756
Yeah but its still true for crpgs

Land Stalker is my shit

>>378277078
RTS? or is that not 'isometric'

>>378274745
Modern RTS, MOBA and Diablo 3 are not isometric. They are 3D.

Isometric games are 2D games. They don't have perspective, so pre-rendered backgrounds and tiles can be used.

I'm willing to play an isometric game so long as it has other more entertaining qualities.

Fallout for example was fucking amazing and it had utter dog shit controls. Take Fallout 4 on the other hand, great non-isometric gameplay with a terrible.. everything else

>literally autisming over (height/2, width/2) * basic trigonometry to render a 3D perspective instead of projecting every single viewport pixel as its own render vector

>>378279778
3d games can still be isometric. Project zomboid is one of them.

Isometric is fine. Point & click interfaces where you don;'t control your character are not fine.
Isometric works just fine if you have direct control over your character with a good input device. Pic related, it has good controls.

What are you talking about? It's awesome in RPG and RTS games.

if you have shit taste maybe
