Does Diablo qualify as 《RPG》?
Well... I don't know. I never think about these kind of questions, I just play the games. If they are fun, who cares?
It's an action RPG.
>>12218552Yes, it's essentially what the orginal D&D was intended to be in essence.
>"action" rpg>all you do is click peopleNever understood this.
>>12218568this
it sure as hell ain't a racing game
>>12218571there are action rpgs where the entire combat system is just walking into enemies
>>12218576turn based ones too. never got the appeal of bump combat roguelikes
>>12218552personally I don't consider action rpgs to be rpgs. the label is meaningless now though so what does it matter
What is.. an RPG?
a hotdog is a rpg
It qualifies as "hack and slash"
>>12218568No.Kingdom Hearts and Secret of Mana are action rpgs.
>>12218762dumb weeaboo
To make it a true RPG, you need to add dialogue trees where you can suddenly and bizarrely turn demons to the light side by passing [Speech: 100] checks on them.
>>12218552Yes, but the RPG label is basically meaningless these days. I've seen normalfags call shit like Horizon Zero Dawn and nu God of War RPGs.
>>12218752Ceci n'est pas une RPG
>>12218720>never got the appeal of bump combat roguelikesDiablo was originally going to be a turn-based roguelike too before they switched to making it real-time. I think the main dev has mentioned Angband as a big inspiration.
>>12218568nah that's stuff like zelda 2, diablo's an mmorpg
>>12219026retard
>>12218917this would've elevated d1 immensely
>>12219026Diablo 1 isn't multiplayer, so it's just an ARPG.Diablo 2,3,4 is MMORPG thougheverbeit.
>>12218762Kingdom Hearts is an action-adventure game.
>>12219304>Diablo 1 isn't multiplayer
>>12219308Zeldort is an action adventure game. Kingdom Hearts is an ARPG
>>12218752A game with experience points and stats.>>12218775Sounds like a CYOA to me. Maybe a CYOA with RPG elements.
>>12218752Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are RPGs.WolfET because you pic a role and gain experience and skills.Stalker because you build a character and choose how you play and for which factions and what events.Your gear and some skills improve.
>>12219663Zelda 1 qualifies as an ARPG. Maybe Zelda 2, but none of the others after that.
>>12218552No video game can ever be a true RPG. At most they can approximate raw mechanics. But unless all you play with are braindead railroad GMs the freedom and cooperation of RPGs can never be translated to vidya. The limitations of code just stop it.
