Pachter: RTS is for the PC, not consoles

If you ask Michael Pachter, he thinks that RTS games are more for the PC than for consoles. Actually, even if you don't ask him, given the right opportunity, he'll probably tell you anyway. His opportunity came at the latest episode of GameTrailers' Pach Attack, and took it he sure did.

Pachter doesn't like the lot of you.

 

 

 

"I have long been baffled sa to why RTS games don't work on consoles. I think it is partly because of the nature of the gameplay, it's single-player and it's turn-based.

 

 

 

 

I play them a lot on my work PC, and I think games like this probably started with slackers like me who play games at work and don't tell their bosses about it.

 

 

 

 

For some reason, I think they just appeal to the more hardcre PC gamers. I personally play PC games more than any other genre, I just don't like PC gamers that's all."


 

 

Hmmm... it must be hard to not like yourself very much.

Of course I agree with Patcher on this one. I just don't know why he needed to state something that has been completely obvious for over a decade.

If Age of Empires III were turn based, a single battle would take months to resolve...
