why turn based why could it not be real time

[DOOM THE PRIME EVIL]

game loooks amazing but i can't wast hrs of my life on one damn boss encounter that would take a few minits in real time and to those how say turn based is better you do you

[Andivegito]

Personally I think these types of game are best suited for turn-based, now something like a hack n' slash, better for that to be real time.

This discussion again. -_-

Strangely enough there seems to always be someone who cannot be bothered to invest their precious time to deal with a turnbased game but have plenty to spare for whining about that on the forums.

There is a funny thing about opinions similiar to certain aspects of your anatomy. Yes you have one. We all know you do. But that doesnt necessarily mean we want to see it.

I'm so happy its turn-based...

I love turn-based. I would not play this game if it were real-time.

It's pretty rare that a game has both turn-based, and pause in real time. KOTOR 1 ( Knights of the Old Republic 1 ) comes to mind. Might and Magic 6: Mandate of Heaven.

It adds to the coding complexity and for what, to cater to the two people who lack the attention span required for turn based? I get that Gen Z is having a hard time with executive function and concentration spans, due to smartphone proliferation & endlessly scrolling on TikTok or w/e but...

Three people died in my coding program, back in the late 1990's, before the modern Internet. If coding was easy, we'd all be waving magic wands, and be coders.

Code your own game, and see how it goes.

What I don't understand is why they don't offer both - like PoE2, you could choose, or Pathfinder Kingmaker/Wrath, you can change on the fly.

Because it takes more time. They wanted to make a turn-based game, why do people always question that?

If you don't like it, don't buy the game. Do you go on forums for sci-fi games and complain there aren't enough wizards, too? FPS games and complain that you wanted third-person puzzle platformers?

It's not a valid criticism, it's just whining because you didn't get what you wanted in a product clearly not designed with you in mind.

Same reason Id Software didn't make Doom as a cover based shooter, Cyberpunk 2077 wasn't third person camera, and Street Fighter isn't a 3d fighting game.

Because games are different, and not all of them are going to cater to your personal taste. Part of growing up is to learn that you aren't the center of the universe and that your preferences aren't indicative of some universal truth.

This. ^

The game isn't meant for you. The developers chose the system they wanted to make. Complaining about it isn't just pointless, it's annoying. Find another game to whine about.

Or better yet. OP could find a game they actually like. It might be a good idea to just give the whining a break for a while.

Okay, I won't buy it and you can inform the devs personally.

They said they still don't care.

Because turn-based is based. It's right there in the name. Notice that Real-Time with Pause does not contain based. We are done here.

What about Real Time Base? Or Real Time With Pause and a side of Base?

Then play a different game, game was designed to be turn based.

Well that conviction didn't stand the test of time eh!

Judging by how it turned out in Arcanum itself, I'd rather they chose one mode and concentrated on optimizing it rather than having 2 modes that don't seem to be equally balanced and equally polished.

I agree with you here. One polished mode rather than two half done one's is best.

yeah im quite tired of turn based games myself. Lots of times, developers choose turn based combat because its the much easier option to develop. Theres sooo many upcoming games that would be so perfect and make an awesome RTS but the devs choose TBC.
Next festival, check out some of the upcoming games and youll see what I mean. I seen a pirate game recently that looked right up my alley but then I find out it has turn based ship combat. So throw all the action,suspense and tactics of naval warfare out of the window so players can move one square at a time on a grid. Dont worry about reloading skills, gunning skills or unit stats because all you have to do for a complete refresh is press the "next turn" button

P.S I dont mind this game being turn based because its an RPG, I was just agreeing with OP that all these turned based games are getting kind of old to me too, specifically when TBC takes away all the action and chaos leaving you with a stagnant feeling.

I am mostly turn based fan myself, but I completely agree with you on the naval combat. I absolutely loved naval battles in the old Sid Mayers Pirates as example, there's just something about that simple dance of two moving ships that is endearing.

I think it's frustration of seeing something you'd probably enjoy in a format you do not like.

I get that with puzzle and point and click adventurers myself, lot of interesting stories and games I like as concept but I know I likely wouldn't enjoy playing.

I am far less vocal about it however^^, but I do understand it.

i play xcom and that is turn based but that is not an RPG all so i never play phone games there trash
