It's funny how both of these games are like not RPGs at all whatsoever
most RPGs aren't RPGs. It's like how people calls Souls games RPGs for some reason.
Who cares, they could be classified as racing games for all I care, they're still good games
It's a game where you play the role of the witcher.
>>727790574They’re called Action “RPGS”. They’re not actual RPGS
how is it not a role playing game?
>>727790910too fun
>>727790910you aren't your own character you're either boston boy or dyke
what exactly is an RPG?
>>727791176It's whatever you need it to be to shit on games you don't like.
>>727791176It's when you waste 4 hours on character creation and play the game in 1st person
>>727790574How that funny. Who cares. Its there some sort of consulate that cares about what games are what genres
>>727790574CDPR's writing makes me wanna fucking puke
>>727791176Deus Ex used to be an RPG, but its not anymore. It's a simulation now, I think immersive simulation is the genre.
>>727790574You role-play as those men.
>>727790574>It's funny hownot really, it's sad.
>>727790574>the games that buttbroke /v/aginas
>>727791372this
>>727791176Linear story with branching dialogues and skill tree progression.
>>727790986DnD isnt a RPG either because the fag DM always blocks my characters>I'm Pope Augustus XVII, a gay pedophile cleric who->nah ur not, get out of my house
>>727791353What would your grandmama and grandpapa say
>announce the game in 2016 with a no-gameplay cinematic trailer>actual development is 1 year before releasegamers are subhuman nigger cattle who enjoy getting scammed
>>727790574You can choose dialogue options, so it means you play a role, like... in visual novels.
>>727791963I think you mean post-release
>>727791963>in 2016buddy, it was 2013
>>727791176a game where you have an avatar character or party that you do battle with. the battling is statistically derived and uses a turn based ruleset
>>727790574Both of these are Games, in which you Play a Role, as either Geralt, the Witcher, or V, the Edgerunner. Hence, RPG. Just because the character is predefined, doesn't make it any less of an RPG, since you can essentially go about the missions how you want. >KOTOR is an RPG where you play as Revan, a Sith Lord with amnesia.>Mass Effect is an RPG where you play as Commander Shepherd, a Specter.
There has never been a good definition of RPG. Even Gary Gygax thought that people were playing DnD incorrectly. Almost immediately people played it in a way that diverged from what was intended.
>>727790574it's been this way for 20 years now. putting xp bars in hack n slash or fps is one thing, but calling them rpgs is retarded
>>727790910You play the role of Geralt, and can customize his armor and abilities.You play the role of V, and can customize they/them's appearance (though hardly ever see it) and abilities. They may not be PURE role playing games, like being a villager, but they are RPGs. If that still doesn't work for you, can you please name what an actual RPG is to you?
It's funny how this game is like not RPG at all whatsoever
>>727790910action combat witcher is a hack n slashcyberpunk is a first person shooter
to really role-play the witcher you should read the books to get to know geralt even more
>>727790574Literally took me about four tries to finish CP2077 and I still felt gypped.It's not a good game and never will be. Fuck you.
>>727790574Those games are as much an RPG as Fallout 4 is
>>727790574There's like an entire genre of W3 clones. Nu-AssCreeds, Tsushima, WWM. Hell even Horizon Zero Dawn can be considered a W3 clone, just with wacky combat
>>727793581Ruh roh, the uncs in here won't like this.
