RTwP is always inferior to TB or direct real-time.
This is frankly bullshit.
How would, for example, Freedom Force be a better game if it was strictly in Real-time only?
Same as every "Stop Hitting, I'm Thinking" game: the difficulty could have been designed around something other than the maximum combat duration that the player was willing to endure.

Perhaps it should be called Go At Your Speed, seems a much more fitting name.

RTwP is always inferior to TB or direct real-time. It's like finding something in between two options, but sacrificing good from both.

Like, "I don't want to stay sober, but I don't want to drink alcohol, so I drink non-alcoholic beer instead."
Or, "I don't like women, but I'm not gay, so I will fuck shemales instead."
no, wrong answer. You just fuck a girl in the ass-you must actually be gay to not know this...

I've always said it's real-time with queue. Every real-time game fuckin' has pause.
Some don't, just to be annoying. Others give you a pause option, but you can't DO anything with it, sometimes not even look at the damn game because it blacks out your screen when you pause.
