Read the thread. Somebody already said the same thing, and we discussed it. I do not want everything going back to this point and everything go back into an endless loop. |
But...selnor keeps throwing everything in an endless loop anyway, repeating the same three points.
I don't follow. The thread has been an endless loop for the last like 6-7 pages because of this.

So if you take them as credible back then as you do now, try to be consistent. I for one, find genres that make sense, and not because a developer or media personel labels it as such. Most Japanese developed "RPGs" fit best in the Strategy genre. Most American or European RPGs released are Action-Adventures. Neither of them are true RPGs. The video game definition of RPG isn't the same as a "real" role playing game. |
Both Nintendo and Sony define RPG as "A game which you take on the role of a character to obtain items or information to fulfill a journey or quest."
Considering two of the three major console makers define a RPG in this way, don't you think you can just leave it at that? Pretty much the genre itself is so vague nearly anything can fit in that description, from Metroid to Mario. Heck, next thing you know, you're going to tell me Mario RPG isn't an RPG because it doesn't feature Wizards, Monks and a DM.
