Games: Real Time vs. Turn Base

[tangaloor5]

Which is better?

I personally prefer turn base because it gives you a chance to think instead of hitting buttons as fast as possible. Also I'm not very good at real time, my timing always seems to be off. :o

i tend to agree with that, i like turn based more.:) but in some games real time is better and can be more fun cause it makes it more spontaneous:eek::eek:

[psychosk8r]

to be honest i cant really tell the difference so its all good to me

I think it depends, some of the final fantasy games you needed turn based just to survive your first run through the game, but some of them it was just too easy if you didn't put in in real time, so in the end I guess it's not a matter of which is better, more which is better for each individual title

i agree doesnt really matter it is nice to have a game that has both in it

Couldn't agree more. Some games just work better turn based while others are better using real time.

I agree with Corwin. Some games need the turn-based fighting system to implement some strategy into a fight, where as other games are slow to start the story and the real-time fighting helps to pick up the pace getting you into the game.

I agree, Oblivion won't be so fun with turn based game play.

Come on people this is supposed to be a debate. Stop sitting on the fence and choosing both. Which one do you personally prefer to play.

if that's the way you wanted it then you should have asked which one we preferred from the start, asking which one is better is what got us into this particular line of discussion b/c both have their own merits and neither can really be said to be better than the other
