Default Re: What Kind Of Games Would You Like To See Made?

There was a released game based on ASL (about 8-10 yrs, ago). I bought it and I couldn't even tell you the name of the game. It was in 'real time' and quite annoying to play! While you were giving your units on the north part of the map, the computer was chewing up your units on the south. I watched as one of my units just got shot up while standing there. If you didn't give them orders they would stand there and be a target. This was one game where pausing and giving orders would have worked better than the real time mode where pausing the game just lets you look at who's about to get whacked! You just can't compete with the speed of the computer to issue orders and run real time. Needless to say, I'm not a big fan of 'real time', unless it's a flight type simulator or you just have one unit to command. A good 'real time' game that I enjoyed was Breach 3. You could pause the game and give orders to each unit while paused.
