A bit of both! RTS games are fun as practice-repeat challenges when I have enough free time to game while I have a bit of energy. Turn based are good any time. :)
I like both, but as others have said, the apm focus in RTS games really puts a cap on my enjoyment of the genre. In theory, I should love the genre, and I usually like the single player Campaigns or skirmishes against bots, but as soon as apm becomes a significant factor, I lose interest. Maybe I should learn some with a pause function, so I can see how I feel about those.
I like both, but definitely prefer RTS, especially if I am playing multiplayer or if there are a large number of units. I find Turn based games to become repetitive very quickly. Real time action is just more engaging more often, and I don’t find myself knowing I am going to lose but being held “hostage” being forced to sit through the remaining amount of turns to recover from my blunder.
Some of my favorite RTS games include the GOAT Age of Empires 2, Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, and the RTS 4X game Stellaris (with mods).
Some of my favorite turn based games include Galactic Civilizations 3, XCOM 2, and rhe Japan only PC98 game Tuned Hearts.
Technically it stands for “Computer RPG” but nowadays it’s more commonly meant as “Classic RPG”. It refers to any of those games like the classic Fallouts, Baldur’s Gates, Planescape Torment, that blend turn-based strategy game with RPG. Modern examples are BG3, Pathfinder: War of the Righteous, Pillars Of Eternity 2, Wasteland 3, etc.
RPGs, specifically turn-based or strategy ones. Action is sometimes fine too. I like stuff with complex battle mechanics and tons of customisation/planning - anything that gets the brain working is fun, really.
I don’t like FPS in general. I’ve only completed Borderlands 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. I don’t like the perspective and the gameplay often feels dull to me. I don’t feel stimulated by them.
RPG’s. Specially turn-based. But it was many years now that they started turning those into shooters “with RPG elements.” At least we got some of my favorite series, like Mass Effect, Fallout, Bioshock, etcetera, out of the deal.
FPS by far … Most of the time I’m uninterested or minimally interested in a game’s story. If I wanted to read a book or watch a movie… That’s what I’d be doing.
If I’m playing a game it’s normally because I want a challenge or something to do that doesn’t involve being totally idle … and also doesn’t involve a ton of thinking.
I like alternating genres when I get too much of one thing or another. Although it might be undiagnosed ADHD kicking in and preventing me from focusing on one game for long
