Yea Heroes of Might and Magic 3, thats what I was talking about.

>.> RTS and TBS stand for Real Time and Turn Based, so I mentioned that there hasn't been a good TBS on PC in a while.

ANd if there has I would like to know about it. ;)

I found I wasn't big on Disgaea...

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is good, but that's not quite the same as stuff like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea, that's more turn based empire building...

The X-com games were awsome. Unparalleled. Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3 were both very good. Other then that, what else qualified? TBSes were never quite as popular as RTSes.

If we're arguing what you should play TBS games on 3+ years ago PC wins hands down.

Recently though the RTS genre has all but killed the TBS genre.

If theres one thing the TBS genre has going for it that is distincly better than the RTS genre, it is less intimidating to people who lack confidence in gaming ability.

Play X-com and tell me that's not intimidating... When you enter that alien spaceship and the aliens flip out, drive half your men insane, and hose down the others with plasma rifles, you realize that you've still got a lot to learn...

I dunno, I don't consider myself the Leet Mastah, but I've never found RTSes very intimidating... I also don't really take them online much though. When you play an FPS online, getting in for a few minutes then logging out is no big deal. When you play an RTS online, if you only hop in for a few minutes then have to log out, it's a lot worse...

I've played a little bit of X-Com, not much though (never personally owned the game).

Some people that don't consider themselvs good at games think they will have trouble handling that many things at once in real time. I know there are a few of those types on the forum so I'll let one of them argue this farther if it isn't dead by the time they get on.

That does nothing to actually resolve the issue of "Don't fucking do it". It just makes it tidy, without solving anything. So you can just shut up.
