Are Strategy/RPG's and RTS games hard to get into?

[Imperial]

Well my first ever RTS , Age of Empires 2 had a pretty easy tutorial and i learnt how to play the game pretty fast.

RTS aren't (and shoudln't be) the type of game you can master in a couple of weeks , even after years of playing the AOE series I still feel like a noob compared to some players.
