Turn-based all the way for me. I need time to think about my moves!

I want to love RTS games, but I just don’t have the executive function skills needed to prioritise tasks and make decisions fast enough to do well. Single player against CPU is sometimes doable if there’s an easy mode or cheats, but online multiplayer is just impossible.

Turn based is my jams, though I have been known to enjoy some Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander in my time.

I love both but online has to be RTS, I cannot handle the downtime of other people’s turns

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 from this perspective my favourite so far has been BSG: Deadlock, with its simultanious turns. It lets you think and skips the gimicks of normal turn-based games.

I have Deadlock. But I always felt you don’t get to move far enough each turn.

I’m guessing you didn’t use the Manticores with a +10 Defence stance :D

PythagreousTitties, 11 miesięcy temu

Didn’t get that far

I enjoy playing both (solo). But when I see the pros play RTS, I realize turn-based is where I belong. Love the old classic X-Com series.

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.

Turn-based all the way. RTS is a test of how fast you can click. APM is king. Turn-based allows you to think and plan and make decisions. Brain is king.

To be clear there’s nothing wrong with liking RTS, it’s just not for me.

I feel the same. Some rts games feel to me more like a test of motor skills than anything else.

Carighan, 11 miesięcy temu

Yeah same. Although I started liking RTS but then over the years realized that the stressful click centric realtime part was something I liked the games in spite of, not because.

So voer the years, I slowly went more and more towards TBS.

My current game of choice is Age of Wonders 4.

If you haven’t tried Total War it honestly is the best of both worlds. Economy and movement is turn based with RTS battles that let you slow down and pause to issue orders.

Their biggest problem is being so invested in historical settings and semi-accuracy when, quite frankly, a lot of classical military history isn’t very interesting.

PythagreousTitties, 11 miesięcy temu do games w Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

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.

Deestan, 11 miesięcy temu do games w What are the top 10 racing games available on Nostra, the premier game hosting platform?

Doom, Star Citizen, Solitaire, Pac-Man, Manor Lords, Elite Dangerous, Star Stable

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

Jakeroxs, 11 miesięcy temu do games w Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

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

FellowEnt, 11 miesięcy temu do games w Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

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.

De_Narm, 11 miesięcy temu (edited 11 miesięcy temu) do games w Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

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.
