Again, I saw a definition, chose a few random games, and stretched the definition you saw to cover those random games. No, I didn't stretch anything. The definition is the definition. I chose random games that are well known, and they fit the definition. I did not change the definition. I did not edit the definition. Why is it "stretching" when the definition fits? Oh, and for the third time, Muffinz0rz posted... Feel free to provide arguments, whether it's a different definition, games that don't fit said definition, or what have you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questionmarktarius posted... Muffinz0rz posted... So are you saying the definition is wrong? Or are you saying that games commonly associated with the term "RPG" aren't actually doing any of those things in said definition? The definition seems to be for pencil & paper RPGs. And no, very few "RPG" videogames actually bother with P&P conventions, apart from number porn. Nowhere does the word "number" appear in the definition, neither does "pencil and paper." It simply says game. Xfma100 posted... Would you consider Metroid an RPG? I've never played a Metroid game. I'll let someone else take this one. --- Not changing this sig until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.
