Real time with pause won the 2000s, but turn-based won the war.

    One benefit of RTwP is (at least combined with the typically poor AI of the time) that you can sort of get past trash encounters rather quickly. In true turn based there is really no such thing as an easy and quick encounter. Unless you can literally one-shot stuff, I guess.

    Naah. I was always taking perk where it costed 1 less AP to shoot and used an smg.
