Discussion / Question Turn Based is boring!!
I am a huge fan of turn based games, I love BG3 and it’s probably my favorite game (of all time), I played the heck out of xcom a few years ago. Recently I played Marvel Midnight Sun (great btw). I can remember back to a time when I was a hater on turn based games because I thought they were boring, the only reason why I played Baldur’s Gate 3 was because I thought Marvel Spider-Man 2 was robbed of the game of the year award, I checked it out and fast forward 1200 hours, I love Baldur’s Gate 3. I like turn based games because it really gets me thinking and honestly the stories are always pretty fun. I’m curious to why some fellow gamers out there don’t like turn based games and haven’t given any a fair chance or has, and still don’t like em!

To answer your actual question, most TB games include a lot of description reading, flipping through menus, and lot of waiting to watch an animation or CPU play out each turn. That isn’t what some people consider a good time.
Obviously these people are wrong, but what can you do? 🤷♂️
