Agreed. As you can play Fallout 3 in First and Third person, so that part of the description is moot. A role playing game can substitute shooter in place of the rather unspecific "game" noun. So, RPS = Role-Playing Shooter. Then soon we'll have to deal with the MMORPS & MMORTSRPS.pha kin su pah said:
I think Fallout 4 should be on the Wii and have an online musical family orientated brass band simulator section and we can call it a FPSRPGMMOMUSICPARTYGAME
I know what it is! Let's call it an 'RPG'. As for FPSRPG I consider that to be a more Bioshocky thing, where the focus is clearly FPS, but has elements of RPG. FO3 is opposite that. The focus is clearly RPG, with elements of shooting.
As an outsider to both genres, as soon as you have levels and gear stats and chit chat with NPCs, it's an RPG. Even though it may be first person and it shoots, it's an RPG. The RTS designation has a storied and respected history of online competition. Levels and gear throw balance out the window and are unsuitable for hard core competitive play.
As for the MMORPG, I haven't seen and don't recall an MMO which isn't an RPG, so I just call them MMOs and I think that's what more and more people are calling them lately.

I'm guessing that the reason is that BG2 is turn based and thus isn't real time.Jandau said:
If anyone has responded, sorry for the repetition.
The whole debate is stupid. Games are getting more complex and thus you cannot classify them in nice little case like you used to do.
