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?
>>4003264Dark Souls and Mount and Blade are ARPGsDAO and Morrowind are RPGsDAO 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.
>>4003268morrowind is absolutely an arpgdiablo and its clones would not be arpgs by your logic
>>4003264would definitely include Diablo on the list
>>4003278>DiabloI 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.
>>4003264If you're going for most known Skyrim is far above Morrowind, it's not even close.
>>4003274they aren't. Gothic is more of an ARPG than Diablo
>>4003264hyperreal 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 RPGDark 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 RPGMegaman Battle Network>Muso large party or army based action RPG...Yokai watch, Dragon Quest heroes I am probably missing a category >>4003278nah, I wouldn't. It' point and clickish similar to league. Hardly action based at all.
>>4003431When I learn about a new vidya series, I always try starting from the first entry.
>>4003264>no mention of VTMBCmon guys its gameplay isn't THAT badI'd swap DAO for VTMB or Cyberpunk2077.
>>4003584well I couldn't find a high rez image of battlenetwork 1, sue me.
>>4003597When 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.
>>4003589Not medieval/fantasy
>>4003618I beg your pardon?
bump
>>4003295>I forgot to mention it must be played from third person perspective, not top-down.that excludes DAO, Morrowind AND M&B then.
>>4005224It still counts if it can.
>>4003431This is a terrible list of influential ACTION rpgs. FF7 remake has a great battle system, but it's not influential. Megaman battle network really isn't an action RPG, it's not turn based but you don't control the character like an action game, and Dragon Quest Heroes it legitimately a baffling pick. It's a dynasty warriors game with JRPG window dressing while also not being an influential as a dynasty warriors style game.
>>4005452> but it's not influentialWuddya mean? I could have easily put legend of mana instead, but this one is a tad more current. I have never heard of Mount & Blade.>Megaman battle network really isn't an action RPG,It's a new style of action, with input based commands.>Dragon Quest Heroes it legitimately a baffling pick. I could have put the Yokai Watch title instead that has a large musou style with action..
>>4005453Musou is niche as hell, the sphere of influence for it is super fans of that specific series or die hard Musou enjoyers without bleeding over into other genres at all.
>>4005453We have yet to see anyone copying 7R's combat.But the reason I don't put it here is because FF is not popularly known to be an action RPG series. That still has ways to go.
Replace Dragon Age and Morrowind with Bannerlord and Diablo. Bannerlord action > Warband action. Replace warband with system shock or something.
>>4003264Replace Morrowind with Oblivion, Dark Souls 1 with 2, and Dragon Age Origins with Fallout 3

>>4003264Replace Mount & Blade with Mount & Blade: Warband>>4013383pic rel
