| Anfebious said: You don't compare stuff such as the battle system, music and setting? Those are the most important parts in an RPG! Im comparing the principles of RPG game and world mechanics in general, not individual implementations which will always be different. And you should try to compare them to see what I'm talking about. You can't compare them. One is set in a futuristic setting and the other one is set on a medieval one. Both use an action battle system but they play very differently. One is similar to a hack and slash game and the other one is more like a MMORPG. Even the music is absolutely different in style but thas has more to do with the setting in this case. Surely this applies to the Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 as well? Like I said, this doesnt stop discussion there and I dont feel thats a reason to avoid discussion here. And you can't compare them because they are different in style, from the very core. One is a western developed RPG and the other one is Japanese. I dont believe that. Country of origin doesnt stop people from comparing Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Games with different aesthetics and mechanics that are ultimately just 2D fighters. These games are ultimately open world RPGs period and they have a lot in common (at the core). You can compare the Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 because both are Western RPG's and both will feature huge world maps to explore. When you compare Xenoblade Chronicles X (open world but not that huge) to the Withcer 3 then it doesn't make any sense. I dont see how you can say its valid to compare Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3, but not valid to include Xenoblade Chronicles. Ignoring superficial diffences (artstyle, music, setting and country of origin) they are all
