Which Version 3D Graphics do you put in your console?

#3

i put the most expensive best really

First console i made was with 3Dv6 and had about 5M fans and made #1 on charts.
So i don’t know whats wrong with your console, sorry.

I’ve begun to suspect that putting the absolute best graphics you can on the console isn’t wise. Next time I play through, I’m going to make consoles with the worst graphics that are competitive… Consoles are so profitable at first, they’ve always paid off for me. If I produce three consoles (at 3DV5, 3DV6, then 3DV7), I bet I can earn even more than I can by going straight to 3DV7.

You say that you have 10.9 million fans and all the games you’re making for the consoles are 1’s. Are you past the 30-year mark? You may have literally produced the best possible games for your company. The game is much more balanced during the ‘normal’ period of play, so try starting a new game.

it is way past y30 my best 3d is 3dv1 and best 2dv5 i have 8 billion pounds there is nothing more to research on my how did u get 3dv7 thanks

Don’t get distracted by the 2D route. It’s important to focus on 3D graphics. To unlock higher level 3D tech, use lower level ones. After 1-2 games at 3DV1, you’ll unlock the option to research 3DV2.

The game is only balanced for play to the end of the story. Once it records your high score, going past that is going into uncharted territory. Going way past y30 can cause odd results (such as the images people have posted of selling more copies of a game than there are people on the earth).

To get to 3Dv7, you actually have to start making games with 3Dv1 as soon as its available. You will get experience points for 3D and be able to further upgrade.
3Dv6 and 3Dv7 is researched in the R&D lab.
