How the fuck its not an arpg

These two games are neat, almost like a 16 bit Japanese Diablo. I quite enjoy them though I wish there was some visual progression of your character (like armor etc) but eh it's not a big deal
>>
>>12589227
My main complaint would be that usually in these kinds of games you have a pretty big spike in your powerlevel towards the end, but in SS it's pretty gradual.
>>
>>12589234
Yes they're very good games that seem to be strangely slept on? I barely ever hear people discuss them or bring them up.
>>
>>12589176
Trash genre.

Both Oblivion and OP game are arpgs, why are you all so weird
>>
>>12589345
Because their idea of genres is extremely narrow. They probably don't count it as an ARPG for some retarded reason like because it's in 1st person.

>Because their idea of genres is extremely narrow.
No, your idea is just off. Having combat doesn't make it an ARPG. Usually when people say that they mean games that are basically 95% combat, with a high focus on loot (like the one OP posted or the ones in pic related).

Having action combat doesn't make Oblivion an ARPG and being from japan doesn't make Dark Souls a JRPG. It's really not hard to grasp.

>>12589176
Playing the archer on 4x speed was an extremely fun experience. The enemies move fast and your bow becomes a really satisfying burst fire. Easily in my top 5 gba games.

I literally included the screenshot of the google search to demonstrate to you that most people mean "diablo-clone" when they say ARPG.

>>
>>12589398
Oblivion is ARPG & WRPG
and Dark Slop is ARPG & JRPG
deal with it faggot, no one cares about your reddit circlejerk thinks
>>
>>12589492
So Oblivion, Dark Souls and Diablo are basically all the same according to you?

yes faggot just like Wizardy 8 (first person like Oblivion), Persona 3 (third person like Dark Slop) and Fallout 2 (isometric like Diablo) are all turnd based RPG's

i don't why understand why you social outcasts insist on denying this and pushing for meme labels like ''immersive slop'' or claiming ''JRPG'' is actually a genre for RPG's with tranime aesthetic rather than just a term for RPG's made in Japan

Because you're a fucking retard.

Google is not "most people", it pushes whatever corpo bullshit to the top of every search, repeats those "results" ad infinitum, and suppresses anything that didn't pay up.

Were you fucking born yesterday or just a third worlder
