So, I was playing this one game and I realized how low gaming has become...

Mostly action RPGs like Heavenly Sword, DMC4, Assassin's Creed, etc.

Most new rpgs on handhelds are also just 10 hours like Crisis Core, Tales of the World: RM, KH 358/2.

Did you just call Heavely Sword, DMC4, and Assassin's Creed RPGs

Wait, let me guess

Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, and God Hand are RPGs too

Excuse me I think my head is exploding

Even sports and fighting games nowadays have more RPG elements than these "Action RPGs"

Surprisingly nobody calls them SRPGs or FRPGs.

Except they ARE RPGs. You roleplay as the characters.

Furthermore, I like how hardly anyone brought up the handhelds I mentioned or the fact that, regardless of genre, the overall length of most games have become shorter for sprakly graphics that people put too much focus on.

But I can create a character in FIFA 10's "Be a Pro" mode and play with him in all other game modes and earn new skill points and even learn new tricks.

 

But let's be real. FIFA 10 is far from being an RPG, just like Assassin's Creed, DMC4 or Heavenly Sword.

FIFA 10 = Sports

Assassin's Creed = Action-Adventure

Devil May Cry 4, Heavenly Sword = Hack and Slash
