RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

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.

I’m fully turn based. I could never get into RTS. StarCraft for example was never fun to me. I don’t know, I just like the slower pace.

Honestly, we should call FPS games for what they really are… point and click.

CRPGs like Dragon Age Origins and BG3 are awesome

spleaque,

What is a CRPG?

bionicjoey,

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.

spleaque,

Ah i see, thanks.

Used to play a ton of FPS, don’t really have the desire to do so anymore these days. Started up another heavily modded run of Skyrim the other day

I almost exclusively play VR FPS these days. I only have time for short <1hr play sessions so my RPG days are on hold until life allows it.

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.

RPG without only focusing on FPS. I quite don’t like ARPG these days that don’t have a good story but add a lot to combat mechanics.

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

The Castlevania games have been organized into a couple of collections that are very inexpensive, and I would HIGHLY recommend those. They’re on PC and Switch.

I replay Castlevania 1 and 3 at least once a year.

I think RPGs are a lot better at telling a story, but many of them don’t have interesting stories to tell. It’s also admittedly hard to develop that hook. So, while my most memorable games are RPGs, I usually get drawn more to FPSs.

The one exception to this feel is Half-Life 2. Something about the lack of ceremony behind level transitions, lack of objective markers or excess UI, and being “in” the environment in which characters are trying to accomplish their goals helps it feel more immersive. Sadly, not many AAA games have aimed to have expressive faces during gameplay since then to help sell the visuals.

Which RPGs are you playing that don’t have interesting stories to tell? Also, I feel like most FPS campaigns since Half-Life 2 have had similar or better facial animations.
