RPG or RTS?

[WhiteFang]

Which one do you prefer?For me this is extremely hard to answer since i love both

In the end,i prefer RPGs because its fun for me to play one,specific,important role.The choice and unique ways you can improve your one,special character is great.I especially enjoyed this in The Witcher 2 and Dragon Age Origins

Warcraft is RTS. Warcraft is Life. RTS = Life.

Absolutely

I remember when that badge was everywhere

Well Rpg-s are good, but Rts-s are are amazing, but Roleplay is da best!

Seems RTS is winning.

RTS, but not just because of Warcraft III.

RTS! <3

I still love RPG though.

 

[Chaosy]

I think RTS are good. But RPGs are awesome.

I guess that's an unpopular opinion since this is a Warcraft 3 site.

 

[Argos]

I never enjoyed Warcraft 3 RPG's so RTS all the way for me.

 

[Wasabee]

RTS and RPG are both good but I still pick RTS.

 

[RealHeavyRep]

I like both, but I like RTS better.

 

[VeljkoM]

So if everyone likes RTS then why are majority of maps Hero centric and closer to RPGs. I honestly can't compare as I love both differently.

Depends on which RPG you are comparing to which RTS. If it's a Bethesda RPG then I will pick RPG all day (fallout & skyrim ftw). Any other time I would pick RTS.

This was a hard decision for me too, because I like both genres.

Real time strategy games are my favorite genre because you get to build a base and army, on a unique map, and develop and use different strategies for your conquest, depending on your race or in game situation.

I remember the one attempt to merge RPG and RTS together. It showed promise if not for the terrible game balance, bad performance and poor design choices. The developers went in solvent shortly after release for that reason.

There's a game called Majesty where it's technically an RTS, but the units work like RPG heroes. It too is promising, but badly designed.(Stupid AI, mostly)

I have pondered many times about what a RTS/RPG combination could be like. The solution really is not a simple one.

Do you have each player with a sort of "god" hero unit and "worshiper" followers? Or do you allow them to be either a RPG or RTS? Or do you abstract the RPG element above the RTS element so that your RTS capabilities level up? Or do you have a hero which summons minions based on your power?

It is not easily solved. I would certainly like to dabble in it at one stage if I can find the motivation.

So far both WC3 and SC2 have failed to pull it off in a solid way. WC3 melee is about the closet I have seen but due to a lack of persistence it gets boring quite fast.

Weren't Warlords Battlecry and Spellforce kinda closer to the RPG/RTS hybrid than Warcraft 3?

Yeah,Spellforce was much more of a RPG/RTS hybrid

 

[GreeN!X]

I love playing both. I'm just better at managing a single unit, so RPG.

 

[Ragazine14]

I prefer RTS, because Warcraft is RTS. But despite that, I still like RPGs.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i am a big fan of both but there is very few rts games being released these days and even rpgs is in short supply these days. i have xbox one and playstation 4 and the only rpg i have found for them that i know of is final fantasy type 0.(i have found no rts games for them or pc.)

RTS games have kind of died over time. Not only are they inherently hard to program to look good (it will never look as good as a FPS/TPS) but they also have issues being competitive. Lack of competitive nature and ability to appeal to casuals has left them largely in a grave in recent years.
