It's similar to them in how you go through the game's quests and locations, yeah, but it definitely has RPG mechanics and actual roleplaying even if it's very constrained to Geralt's story. It's far from the worst offender of games that stretch the definition of RPG.
>>683869285the game is bad>shitty bamham combat>detective vision which nullifies any need to actually pay attention to the environments>lots of empty space in the world and time spent riding your horse doing nothing at all>boring inventory management and crafting componentsthe only good part is cutscenes and the experience would have been better if you cut out all the "game" and just made it an until dawn/telltale games CYOA style interactive movie.
>>683869285>RPGDon't exist and never have existed. No game has ever been an RPG. If it doesn't involve somebody rolling a dice with a dungeon master then it isn't an RPG and impossible to be one.
>>683872335roleplaying games have existed. you are describing a roll playing game.
Third person action RPG.RPG in this case means you put points into abilities and level.
>>683872462The video game You are a set character and have a limited set of choiceD&DYou are anybody and have an unlimited set of choice
>>683872769>99% of people agree that a certain subset of videogames can be called RPGs>anon has an autistic fit trying to claim they aren't and there are no videogame RPGsyou don't dictate language. everyone else agreed that RPG is a sufficient descriptor of dragon quest games, you don't get to change that.
>>683869285RDR2 is literally an RPG and deserves to be talked about on /vrpg/
>>683874880RDR2 is a goddamn piece of shit that deserves to be thrown in the trash.
>>683869285>playing anything besides deathmarchu didnt bat the game
>>683869285I mean why do you think its so popular? The Witcher series is essentially Gothic for casuals.
>>683869285RDR 2 is more of an RPG than The Witcher 3
>>683869285I’m just glad Geralt is an actual character.I’m sick of silent protagonists in RPGs. What’s the point of every NPC talking and the protagonist just standing there like an absolute retard?
>>683872335>No game has ever been an RPG. If it doesn't involve somebody rolling a dice with a dungeon master then it isn't an RPG and impossible to be one.there is games like that, you retarded fuck
