And Super Paper Mario is in no way or form a RPG O.o

Take it from someone who's completed the game, yes it is. In fact, it's more of an RPG than a platformer, the emphasis is squarely on grinding, subsystems and exploration (just like Paper Mario 1-2), only now everything's realtime.
|
But the gameplay is nowhere near a RPG.
|
Uh, have you played it? All it did is take Paper Mario and make it realtime without a separate battle screen, the structure, subsystems and progression are definitely RPG based. Basically, if Paper Mario's not an RPG, then neither is any action RPG on the list (Fable II/III, Infinite Undiscovery, Folklore, etc).

"All it did is take Paper Mario and make it realtime"
Thus making it a whole other game and genre. The gameplay is much closer to the platformer genre.
And of course I played it. It's my biggest disappointment this gen.

So... if a game's realtime, it's not an RPG? Mana, Star Ocean, Tales of, Kingdom Hearts, Dark Cloud, Ys, Fable, MegaMan Battle Network... none of them are RPGs?
I'm honestly at a bit of a loss of how anyone can actually play the game and still say "Super Paper Mario is in no way or form a RPG". Unless maybe they have no idea what an RPG actually is... how exactly would you define an RPG?
