Topic	Is Dark Souls an rpg?
Colegreen_c12 04/12/20 11:05:21 AM #37:	NeoElfboy posted... I'd say no, though it's all arbitrary of course. I usually come at it from the point of view of genre tentpole games. Final Fantasy is definitely an RPG. Devil May Cry is definitely not. So the operative question for me is: is Dark Souls more like FF or DMC? To me, it's definitely the latter, so it's not an RPG: it's an action game with RPG elements. Something like Tales resembles Final Fantasy more than it does Devil May Cry or Street Fighter, so I'm happy calling that an action RPG. By this logic tales should be an rpg with action elements. the fact that you call it an action rpg means you realize something can be more than one genre. basically defeating your entire argument --- DPOblivion beat us all. <cite>Colegreen_c12 posted [p:937248606] in Is Dark So...
