I tried listing action RPG games. I think these four are the ones that embody the wide spectrum of the genre the most.
These aren't the title themselves, but more like the series they represent, and also other games of similar gameplay and vibe.
Note that I don't mean that these four are better than the rest, just maybe the most known and influential ones.
Wdyt? Do you agree? Would you rather have one be replaced with another else?

Dark Souls and Mount and Blade are ARPGs
DAO and Morrowind are RPGs

DAO is not action, its has light mmo type of system, Rtwp. its shallow and boring but its not action.
Morrowind plays in real time, but your hits are calculated based on dice rolls and not skill based or dodge input. Skyrim & Oblivion are ARPG, but Morrowind is RPG.


I'd personally take out DAO and put Demon's Souls in its place. DAO is just mid and aged like milk.

Dark Souls is good and all but its a cheap rip off from Demon's Souls so it doesnt deserve to be here, you can swap that for something else.

Morrowind is one of its kind so im fine with it, I prefer New Vegas to it, but its close.

morrowind is absolutely an arpg
diablo and its clones would not be arpgs by your logic
>>
>>4003264
would definitely include Diablo on the list
>>
>>4003278
>Diablo
I forgot to mention it must be played from third person perspective, not top-down.
The feeling is just different.
Again, not to say Diablo is bad, it's what the listing means.
>>
>>4003264
If you're going for most known Skyrim is far above Morrowind, it's not even close.
>>
>>4003274
they aren't.
Gothic is more of an ARPG than Diablo

hyperreal games from embody the spectrum? Idk man, you sound protozoomish (92-95)

Morrowind and Darksouls are under the same umbrella of type let's widen the spectrum.

We got four categories.....
>Solo build a character action RPG
Dark Souls, Demon souls, Morrowind, Disgaea Mayhem
>Party based action RPG with platforming elements
Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy 7 remake, Star ocean
>Solo input powerup action RPG
Megaman Battle Network
>Muso large party or army based action RPG...
Yokai watch, Dragon Quest heroes
I am probably missing a category


>>4003278
nah, I wouldn't. It' point and clickish similar to league. Hardly action based at all.
>>
>>4003431
When I learn about a new vidya series, I always try starting from the first entry.
>>
>>4003264
>no mention of VTMB
Cmon guys its gameplay isn't THAT bad

I'd swap DAO for VTMB or Cyberpunk2077.
>>
>>4003584
well I couldn't find a high rez image of battlenetwork 1, sue me.
>>
>>4003597
When I started the list, I didn't mean to include eastern games.
I like Remake combat though, but the whole east v west does feel different.
Western games have less focus to the story and more gameplay.
Fromslop is west.
>>
>>4003589
Not medieval/fantasy
>>
>>4003618
I beg your pardon?
