hzd isn't an rpg

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I'd say it's just barely an Action RPG. But there's no real decision making in the story, or even an attempt at it like Mass Effect, The Witcher, Cyberpunk.

Other than the fact that it is. It's even got a skill tree and experience points...

[–] phuntis@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

and you can get all those skills and will before you even finish the game there's no choices in the story or even how the character fights really everyone playing hzd gets the same experience those are rpg elements but rpg elements doesn't make a game an rpg it's just triple a game design needing to have everything from every game ever

Doesn't this definition exclude the first dragon quest from being an RPG?

Role playing game just means it's a game where you play a role, right?
