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

[ConAir]

Finally someone mentioned Disgaea :D That SRPG is very fun. It's pretty deep so it lasts long, but it's not to hard to start with. Same goes for Jeanne D'Arc.

For RTS, I'd recommend the old C&C and Red Alert over C&C 3. But Starcraft and Total Annihilation are great RTS games.
