Mercenaries looks better with the 3d off, anyone else think so?

so i got the mercenaries today and, while i enjoy it, i feel like the 3d really doesnt add much of anything to the visuals. in fact, i prefer playing with 3d off. ionno, i just think the jaggies are a lot worse in 3d mode and as previously stated, it doesnt even take good advantage of the 3d

The only thing I don't like about the 3D is trying to stay in the sweet spot. It's too easy to lose it with this game, because there's always so much going on and you end up stabbing at buttons which makes you move the system/screen. There are some pretty cool 3D effects though. A lot of it is subtle, like the barrel of your gun or whatever, but then there are also moments you only see every once in a while.

Yesterday I was playing online and my partner killed an enemy that blew up after it died, which sent a second enemy flying towards me. I was standing on a different platform, 20 or so (in-game) feet from my partner, and it flew right 'into' my screen and had a cool looking pop out effect. Little stuff like that makes me want to keep the 3D on as much as I can. I turn it off when things are too hectic so that I don't have to worry about moving around too much.

Yes, the jaggies are unbearably horrible with 3D on, so I prefer 3D off for that game. I also feel the same way about the Metal Golid Solid 3 video. Pure ugly in 3D but beautiful without it.

really, the only thing about the visuals that really bugs me is how it renders enemies at a distance. when you see them move their animations are simpler so it looks like a slide show. ordinarily it isn't "terrible" but during the boss fight in level 3, when the bat thing starts flying and you're far enough away it just looks awful

So how's the framerate in this game? Are there severe problems like IGN stated or were they actually talking 'bout enemies having fewer frames of animation when they're in the distance. They did choose to show that on their video review when they talked about the framerate so that kinda confused me. Didn't notice other framerate problems at least from that video review...

So the reviewer was just talking out of her ass. Good to know.

The framerate problems I've seen (not counting the enemies at a distance) have been very few and far between. Usually even when there are 10+ enemies on the screen and things are blowing up it's still fine. Every once in a while it drops a little, but never enough to take away from the gameplay at all.

i take back my initial statement about the 3d adding nothing. it doesn't add much, but sniper rifles are pretty cool, cause you actually get the sense that the scope is in front of the enemies and you're looking through it. i find it kind of cool

Is it me or the scope from the sniper rifle gives me double vision on the red dot when the 3d is on

Maybe you have the slider up too high

I have 5 games for the 3DS

Dead or alive, Samurai warriors chronicles, Zelda, Street fighter and ridge racer and I'd say dead or alive is the only game I really think works well in 3DS

If ur seeing double at all you just need to adjust the slider.

Personally I play with the 3d on the majority of the time, and I think the game takes excellent advantage of it. The only time I turn the 3d off is when my eyes start to hurt (usually around 45 minutes into it) or if im trying to conserve battery.

That said, a few things I notice with the 3d off are, the images seem to be slightly sharper otherwise known as better graphics. The framerate seems to also benefit slightly but only for the much farther away enemies.

My friends also mentioned that they often play with the 3d off, and I just had to ask, why get a 3ds if your going to play with the 3d off the whole time or the majority of the time? Sure its got some sweet titles right now, but the major draw of playing them for me is the fact that they are in 3d.
