Forums - Gaming - The ultimate question - Real time strategies or turn based strategies?

RTS can be fun if implemented well (I did enjoy the Age of Empires and Empire Earth games up to both of their 2nd installments for example) but Turn Based stradegy is king for me. I played CivIV for literally 2000 hours before uninstalling from my computer because I played it too much.



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

Turn Based.

Real Time is cool too but I'm too used to Turn Based.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Turned-Based is me. Like how Final Fantasy I to X are, I like those battle systems. I'm about to buy FFXII again to try out that new battle system. But I like turned-base.

RTS couldn't get into those games at all, I have no interest and the same can be said for Strategy/RPG's those board like games i.e. Final Fantasy Tactics and etc.



real time.

with turn based its too easy.

Is this PC related or gaming related on RPG's battle systems?

 



RTS usually (my favorites being Age of Mythology, the Battle for Middle-earth II, and Supreme Commander) but TBS is certainly fun. Hybrids like the Total War series are great as well.



Turned based!
