If adventure does not define the thing, that is not its genre. ParanoidObsessive posted... Also, for funsies? What defines a "roleplaying game" isn't "Well, you're playing a role" either. Otherwise every video game ever made other than stuff like Tetris would be RPGs, and the term would be completely useless as an indicator of genre. An RPG is primarily about playing the role. Even when you are controlling a character, if you're primarily taking the character on an adventure, or progressing a storyline, you are not playing an RPG. ParanoidObsessive posted... Just like most video games ever made would fall under "You're having an adventure", which is why it's useless as a term of classification (and thus, why it's not the defining trait of the genre). You can call a load of games a CoD clone because they are, similarly every game where you're primarily on an adventure is an adventure game, no matter how numerous. They can be other things, but those just happen to be ubiquitous. Basically every other game on PS3/360 was a shooter so the term became useless, but they still were shooters. --- Doctor Foxx posted...
