Some TB vs RTwP drama - douchbags with very strong opinions
Owlcat literally ditched Real-Time-pause in order to cater to BG3 cute twinks, it's literally over forever

If every decision matters and a misplay means failure, turn based
If your APM should determine how good you are, real time
Pausing real time makes people think they're doing both but it's just an extremely straggy variation of turn based

Real time with pause is just better because the pace is entirely in your control

Its only better because in 90% of fights you can?just send your team in, wait 15 seconds, and be dont with that's shit. Turn based fights take forever even if there's no challenge.

Total War is RTWP on the battlefield
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Although it's actually a good version of RTWP because you don't really need to pause
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Because the "WP" aspect shows that the game devs completely failed to make a system that could be played as intended without being a complete sperg and mashing space/pause
It's a shit system lol, just go RT or turn based, quit being a centrist cuckold

As always, it's a balancing act between
accessibility 
and depth of play, and RTwP is absolutely brutal 
compared to turn-based. Who's surprised 
it's less successful?

Hey why is CODslop more successful than Boomer Shooters right! Good FPS shouldn't have the right to exist !

Boomer shooters don't have the feature of yelling slurs at people on vc, that's the birth of their failure in the market.
Tbf newer CODslop doesn't have that feature either which is why the original's better

If you want the next boomer shooter to succeed you need to let the player yell BIPOC at the demons/zombies/aliens they're shooting at, but this'll never happen because they've been infested with the T menace

Unity is dogshit, hope it dies

Getting things to even work poorly on 20 platforms was and is really ambitious, but to be fair so much open source shit for everything is getting better and better the last 20 years.
Like give it 10 years and I could see godot just doing everything better, but until godot runs on every phone and console and browser under the sun with less seams, I feel like it's not the best idea to bet on having 1/5th the potential audience for your game or having to pay or do a bunch of research and testing for how to port it.
Especially if Nintendo or Sony go out of their way to offer support for that kind of thing. It'd help game devs a ton too.

I can't read all of that but
Baldur's gate 3 early access wasn't even out when kingmaker was rereleased with baked in turn-based mode, which was just a polished very popular mod. And their real time pause was really clunky and criticized from the get go because it was this weird psuedo-turn based dressed up with real time pause. If they've fully killed it for their next games, it was already destiny, not as much BG3.
Don't worry. Before AI does absolutely awful things to gaming, there's going to be a short Renaissance where all these niche game types get AI dev buffed, so some spergs will be able to make a few AAA esque real time pause RPGs just for you and 100 other people.

Oh look it's (((you))) again. It's incredible that out of the sheer volume of shit I've seen spew out of your keyboard you have never even stumbled on a crumb of intelligent thought, even by chance. You don't even have the grace to be moronic in an entertaining way, it's just non-stop forgettable drivel.
