Maybe so, but turn-based makes games more accessible to me, and most modern RPGs eschew turn-based mechanics.
Ah well, there's always Civilization games.
honestly, I split the difference. I really dislike first person shooters... because I aim for shit and all I do is die. So I stick with games that are fairly immersive, and don't have a turn-based approach to disrupt the experience... but I very strongly prefer games that either lock-on/auto-aim or have an 'easy' setting (or both!). The lock on is about the only reason I ever made it through Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2... but even with that feature I never did finish DS1, and I haven't really even started DS3 yet. I downloaded it, and I made a character, and I wandered around the beginning... and then I hit the very first mini-boss before you even gain entry to the real game. That bastard killed me, and I shelved the game for a bit.
Realistically, it's probably going to be months, maybe over a year, before I give DS3 a shot. For whatever reason, that particular game creates a lot of tension and stress in me. That's great for really getting into the game... but it's problematic when I have a lot of other real-life stress and anxiety. I honestly think it would be bad for my health to add that game on top of my other anxieties right now. Hell, those other anxieties are bad for my health already, so...
