real time combat or turn based combat?

which one do u prefer in rpgs.

Bit of both. Jrpg's mostly turn based.

Turn-based. Since RPGs are often managing a party and tend to have strength/weakness systems, I enjoy the time to think about my moves. I did find the real time with pause in "Pillars of eternity" interesting too.

Both.

[Rio]

real, always real

With some rare game exceptions.

Both are fun depending on the game...

RTS

I hate TBS. That's why I can't stand the Fallout games.

Doesn't really matter, as long as it works.

As a counter-example, Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 use a system that's basically turn based, with a lot of skills spread over menus and submenus, but with a timer to create artificial pressure. Luckily, it also has "auto" to automatically select a skill to use.

The combat in tenet

Just kidding

Real time combat is usually more my thing since it requires me to think on the fly rather than take my turn. I like implementing strategy in real time in a game than take turns

Unless I am playing civilization or age of empires where those are the rules

Total War campaigns do both move armies like a chessboard then engage in RTC.

BTW, Tactical Pause is NOT CHEATING!

I liked Star Ocean 2s combat more than Final Fantasy 7's. To give a side by side comparison of two games out around the same time. And I moved towards stuff like KOTOR, Morrowind, and Fable the following generation. So, real time I would say.

Either is fine in principle. But I think I've played more janky real-time games than janky turn-based games.
