Real-time examples:

Borderlands
Demon's & Dark Souls
Kingdom Hearts
Nier
Fallout 3 & New Vegas

Feel free to post other examples.
Please refrain from posting irrelevant shit such as spider-man for an example.

Where's the as long as the game is good, I don't care option?

I like 'em both but I prefer real-time. I'm impatient.

Like others said i like them both when they are well done. But i personally find real time more satisfying.

I am fine with either one when they are done well, but I much prefer real-time usually. The only thing I hate is in games like Oblivion when NPC's on your side get in the way.

lol Bethesda has never been very good at programming follower AI. They're almost as bad at that as they are at treating their fanbase well.

Both are really good, I chose real time symply because I have been playing them far longer. That being said, I just got Valkyria Chronicles and it is an awesome strategy game! Persona is also an amazing series.
