Your parent's point is that Portal's tech (portals) is most exciting in a 3D space, which is enabled by advanced graphics.

Sure, the number of pixels you fit or the lighting effects are not key to Portal being a good game- but being 3D certainly is.

You think only one of them is in 3D. That is not correct.
