I'd call it action-adventure. RPG is used for D&D and the like, games like ME2 need a new sub-genre.syrus27 said:Sorry for a double post but:Daedalus1942 said:Mass effect II is not an RPG.Gill Kaiser said:Baldur's Gate 2, Morrowind, Mass Effect 2.
RPG is a role playing game, just because Mass Effect 2 did away with about half the stats and the little dress up game with your companions doesn't make it any less of a Role Playing Game, it's just a more action orientated one.
In that case, I think FIFA 11 and Modern Warfare 2 are teh best RPGs ever. Derp.8-Bit Grin said:San Andreas gets an honorable mention due to it's rudimentary stats.
Heads up to the Tales of Symphonia, dude.babinro said:Tales of Symphonia and Final Fantasy 6
Action RPG is still RPG. And considering you said System Shock 2, you really don't have much of an argument.Daedalus1942 said:Mass effect II is not an RPG.
