My explanation was not very clear, I meant that the game is not realtime. It's turn based, like civilization or chess.

One player plays, then it switch to the other player turn that sees what changes happen, and the game evolve step by step incrementally. What is great with Go is that you do feel territory interaction, simultaneous war on different front than can, possibly, connect, extend. You can have slow pace positionning or very quick attack.  But technically speaking the game is turn based. I miss the game, I didn't play for years. I feel ashamed I stopped playing, but at some point I just thought "I will never be good" lol CGoban is really impressive in fact, in any way I want to diminish its quality. And sure, it's really a splendid board game.

But anyway, what is different in a realtime game like Starcraft is that the game flows continuously with real simultaneous action, the timing and instant thinking is required, and that makes it really hard.

I understand clearly now. I'm tired. It's really late here right now. I should have understood what you meant right away. Dx

In any case, it's never too late to go back to the game. ^_-
You'll be rusty at first, but just like any sort of reading, what you've learned, you've learned. It just takes a little getting used to at first, to dust out that part of your brain. But you'll get back to the level you were when you stopped quite quickly. But just like any other strategy game, you have to invest some time into it to get better. Doing some tsumego helps quite a lot. And you don,t have to do more than like a few minutes per day. 

What I love about this game is that not 2 games are alike. The rules are very simple (it's one of the oldest game, if not the oldest game, still being played with its original set of rules!), but it's the situations that arise throughout the game that make it so complex and limitless. It's such a pure game. I stopped playing chess once I learned about this game. And never looked back. Sadly though, there's not a lot of people around here who play. So my board and stones gather dust.

And I don't meet a lot of people who are willing to learn how to play. I wish I had someone to play for real (not just online)... Maybe one day. xD

Well, he has never worked on a strategy game IA ;)

"(...)A single-player strategy game will live or die based on its AI. I've never written something like this (...)"

He thinks that strategy IA is a context-sensitive IA that plays by the rules, which of course would take a lot of effort from the devs, hence why what you explained is what it's used.

The article's bottom line doesn't change though, more power won't improve IA, the ball is on the devs' roof.

That's such a terrible attitude to bring to a games forum full of enthusiasts.

And in all fairness, the PS4 will stay at it's current price for more than long enough to not make it a factor at all.

This really REALLY needs a TL:DR version!

Tl:dr titanfall would run fine on wiiu and ps4, without cloud.

And before a fanboy chimes in, no, you don't need the cloud for the server style, you could jump in and out of servers just like in titanfall in critereons burnout Paradise and a bunch of other games long before cloud was even mentioned.

My attitude?

It was a joke. I bought an Xbox on Day one... Midnight in fact. As an enthusiast, I knew what I was getting into. As do we all with launch consoles.

forgive me for my lack of omniscience

A lttle dramatic, don't you think?

It's really a pure strategy game, very deep. I was really possessed and obsessed by the game for only about 6 months, then I slowed the pace a lot with some kind of desespair... ;)

I should give it a try again when I get some time. I've just checked, I even have 2 clubs not too far away (10 min walk), but I'm shy about going to what could be an empty place with only a few  senior and hardcore japanese players.
