RTS using active pause +1
(without it its a no buy for me)

[SteahmChip]

Check my profile, I have a list of games as they come up INCLUDING speed adjustments if known,

[Sloul Des Tucs]

Thanks for your valuable feedback SteahmChip. It's greatly appreciated.

[Tytalus]

Really good list here... The Steel Division bullet time is an interesting case in my opinion... it is very slow, so a lot of people argue that it is as good as a pause... and it probably is from a gameplay perspective. But from a de-stressing perspective the game is still "on", so pressure remains.

Its the example I like to use of why 'very slow' is not as good as paused when are using games to relax and unwind.

[hobotone]

Here are the games from my libray that are not on the list (All have active pause).

7.62 High Caliber
Ancient Space
Battlvoid: Harbinger and Sector siege
Dawn of discovery

We made a list for RTS only, and we made another list that are referencing other genre.
I'll be inspecting your list more closely and add them wether on this thread here, or the one I linked.
Thanks again

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is on the AP list, but actually does not pause.

Dawn of War will pause unmodded if you have a Pause/Break key on your keyboard, but I'm fairly sure there's still no way to pause 2 or 3.

[Sloul Des Tucs]

Dawn of discovery
Looks extremelly gorgeous, damn. I never heard of it.
And I don't know if I should classify it RTS or Gestion/Strategy, I might decide to put him in both lists.

edit: I'll keep it in the other list, under the Gestion/Strategy category.

[Sloul Des Tucs]

Yes, they added the pause in a patch for Homeworld: Desert of Kharaks

[hobotone]

Just my opinion, but I love party based rpg with active pause.

Awesome, I had no idea!

[Sloul Des Tucs]

Atom RPG and Stardrive 2 are per-turn.

World of Chaos: invasion looks great! I mean, the graphics are cheap of course, but the gameplay seems quite interesting.

I'm surprised it went EA. He's working hard on it, and the combat is fun, but it has a LONG way to go.

Grey Goo was moved to ''Not using'' instead of ''using''.
I don't get how I did I do this mistake... really weird.
