Why is Real Time Strategy games addictive?

[Ini]

Generally, real time strategy games are very addictive. Maybe because they allowed you to influence the game storyline and due to the fact that its multiplayer is highly competitive. I like the way it lets me build bases and command armies.

What do you think makes RTS games so addictive?

For me, I so much love the thrill of the competition. With the multiplayer modes, I can compete against other strategists and that has really pushed me to improve greatly .

One factor that keeps me engaged is the customization features in the RTS games. I’m able to unlock new units and upgrades any time I want. There is something about the sense of accomplishment when I conquer a tough campaign. RTS games offer endless fun to me.

Entirely the opposite. I don't play competitively. I'm not good enough to do so. I just enjoy the build up and the result of long plays.

Isn't all of them addictive if you're the type that loves playing such games? It's the same thing with other genres of video games. Being able to play it in real time and building up something how I want it done is why I'm addicted to RTS games.

There's always a lot for you to do whenever you're playing RTS games. It's not a game that will bore you when you start playing it because you will be engaged from the beginning to the end of the game. This is what I believe that makes RTS games very addicting to play.

There's so much to do when playing RTS games. It's not a game which you're stuck with doing only one thing. You build your team, manage resources, micro manage task and so much. It makes RTS games so much different.
