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.


If it help I agree its a RPG. Granted it is a bit different, but yes still a RPG

Well, Demon's Souls is the GOTG so you'd think I would vote for Sony, but the rest of the games on Sony's list are garbage. Microsoft has one garbage game and 4 good games, Nintendo has 4 decent/good games and 2 ok games. I will vote MS/Nintendo tie because of that, but, just to reiterate, the best game on that list by far is Demon's Souls.

I'll go with the one that made this beauty.

All you do is run and jump?  Did you play for 5 minutes and quit?

RPG elements include a consistent overworld (complete with "dungeons"), experience system for character leveling, exploration based puzzle solving (though that's more of a JRPG trope), heavy NPC interaction, multiple party members, complex subsystems (cooking, cards, etc), a currency system, inventory system (complete with spell/healing/boosting items)... still waiting on that RPG definition btw...

Why not count Zelda then?

Tell me what are the RPG gameplay elements then?

Because as far as I know, there are none.

All you do is run around and jump. RPG? No thanks.

Boutros, would you consider Muramasa and Odin Sphere RPG's at all?

Fable makes this an easy choice. Also the best selling series on that list.

Zelda has its own genre: Zelda genre.

If Fable is included, then Zelda definitely needs to be included.

I disagree.  Zelda is the seminal Action/RPG.
