Um...no. Rockband music sim that allows you to create a character. You don't determine anything, besides enjoying the fun of playing music and hoping to get 100%. Skate 2 isn't an RPG. GTA from time to time tends to show bits and pieces of RPG action. The last GTA let you choose who you would align yourself with or kill. Even with all that it wasn't an RPG, because you weren't playing a role and you couldn't relate with the character. |
I'm not sure I follow that last statement. I relate to characters in books all of the time, despite having no control of what their actions are.
I think an RPG is simply what we make it to be. We don't need these rigid definitions for genres. Certainly the genre of RPG has expanded since the 70's.
If we were to look at music, for better or worse is a matter of opinion, clearly the Rock genre has expanded and has accepted sounds that would never have been considered as rock if solely adhering at a strict, traditional definition.
