Wow, first time I've seen someone call Diablo an RPG...

and stfu stage, it's not called an JRPG only because of Turn-Based combat

And looooool Bethesda WRPGs full of soul and life, does that include Oblivion (only bethesda game I've played)? xDDD
That's just horrible, the game has no people at all who you ever feel attached to. There only like 10 people in the whole world pasted 1000 times. The game has one of the worst stories I've ever seen, it's at the same level as your average FPS story. The game is only long if you want to do those horrible side quests that repeat themselves over and over. The only interisting things in the game are those guilds, but after you get the top rank it doesn't really matter at all.

Let's compare it to a JRPG let's say... Persona 3 FES, is that alright? The game has great characters, and many of them. There are small stories going on between minor character (like the boy and his stalker). It's the major characters that are the most awesome though, I mean all those characters and I felt attached to almost all of them. The game has an awesome story, and solid villains. The game is also longer than most WRPGs, and has more replay value. And even with all those it manages to have choice and a mute main character, which all of WRPG fans seem to adore. The game is turn-based, but it still manages the be faster and more interesting than Oblivion and Mass Effect's combat.

And yes I DID play Mass Effect, though only for a couple of hours.


So you're rating a game on two hours play before the story was even apparent, remind me never to trust your judgement of a game.  Also if you cannot argue a point without resorting to telling someone to stfu then it just about proves your intellectual prowess in a discussion.

For the record Diablo as always been classed a RPG, shows your knowledge of the genre.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_(video_game)

I didn't say anything about the story of Mass Effect, I said the gameplay was slow. I can usually judge gameplay after 5 hours.

Nice Wikipedia article "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name." Nice way of showing your knowledge. Besides I just checked it's an Action RPG and if we go by stage's standards that would mean it's not an RPG. =)

Most people call it hack 'n slash anyway, and I didn't get any sort of rpg feeling from the game. I wouldn't say you get to choose very much in the game, so where's the "role"-playing?
