Which is better?



Around the Network

Turn based for me.
I still like action rpgs :)



"And yet, I've realized that maybe living a "decent" life means you won't ever have a "good" life."

 

I have to go with action RPG, of course I am a fan of Western RPGs and dont like JRPGs.  I do like turn based games though, but more along the lines of strategy games like Civilization and Total War.

I think Action RPGs are better because you are into the character and story so when something happens (monster jumps at you, friend gets killed, whatever) its a better in real time than in a turn based format.



Not really a factor to me, I like both.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I'll go for action.Games like Tales, Star Ocean, and Kingdom Hearts were soooo addicting.



Turn Based any day of the week.  I don't hate Action RPG's but the combat sytem drags me down.  Plus, I am a very nostalgic person.



I prefer action. :)
