Don't know what brought this up. Talking about it anyway.
Personally, I can't stand the RTS genre. I have nothing wrong with taking things slowly and strategically looking them over, but for whatever reason, RTS games bore me to all Hell.
What I would do to make them more enjoyable for myself would be taking more part in the action-- being a part of my own plan, seeing right in front of me how good or bad my strategy is. I find it hard to sympathize with a bunch of tiny, insignificant, expendable dots on my screen when a plan goes wrong and thus have little motivation to actually do a good job. However, if I was to BE a member of my own troops or somehow be right there on the field, doing my own fighting and whatnot, I'd have a much better time. I mean yeah, it'd be a bit of a pain the ass do be directing an entire army whilst having a one-on-one with a member of the opposite army, but whatever. Just an idea.
So yeah: what genre of games do you hate the most and what would you do to make them more enjoyable for yourself?
