"I definitely don't agree in your "turn based" decision making thought, because that would eliminate the Fable, WoW, other great games that most people consider to fall within the RPG category."
Fable is not an rpg but an action rpg. WoW is not an rpg but an mmo or persistent world rpg.
"I believe that the RPG category has sub categories."
Well, that is correct.
"I don't know if you are old enough to remember, but when games like Wolfenstein 3D first came out, they were just called "shooters" but then other types of shooters came out and the category sub'd off into "1st Person Shooter", "Third person shooter", etc, etc."
I played the original Wolfenstein on my PC Jr. It was a better game.
"I think that the RPG category is the same. There are sub-categories within it, each with it's own style of game handling."
And I think if you're compiling a list of the best rpg games, you don't throw a bunch of action rpgs on it. Maybe strategy Jrpgs and mmo games fit but not action rpgs. I guess in retrospect the only thing I agree with rhis list on is that FFVII is a better rpg than the Zelda games they put on the list.
