That's not a role you play, that is literally what you are when playing Tetris.
Jack Diaz
Skyrim
Luke Wood
I'll never understand this. Is it because it's in a fantasy setting? Because Zelda 2 is the only game with any substantial RPG elements
Oliver Phillips
No videogame has ever come close to actual roleplaying.
Tyler Murphy
Forza horizon 4 is an rpg
Carter Foster
Just like in ff7 you are literally cloud?
Juan Wright
because they have no gameplay.
Anthony Ramirez
They are roleplaying playing video games.
Luke Russell
Zelda is an rpg
Lincoln Foster
I never played FF7. Are you literally Cloud in FF7, or are you just playing as him?
Aiden Ortiz
You aren't literally in any game,Unless you have a going into games machine
Julian Hughes
Because it isn't a protected moniker in any way.
Quite many games accepted broadly as RPGs contain no role-playing elements at all, besides the idea of "playing the role of the main character".
Chase Phillips
Well, but in Tetris you are literally someone trying to fit Tetris blocks in a board, even without a going into games machine.
Christopher Diaz
>DURR EXP SYSTEM = RPG
Nathaniel Wright
you are also playing the role of each block
Owen Murphy
Because of Bioware and the 'we want the call of duty audience'

Not that guy, but he is probably correct. If you think "RPG" means "anything having levels", you might want to go play some proper pen and paper one of those days.

I'm going to end this once and for all: an RPG can be defined as a game where you can play any role (PREMADE OR CREATED), and progression is done by exploration, defeating enemies, and collecting items that improve on visible numerical attributes tied to your character(s).
Jeremiah Cox
wrong
Aaron Morales
The true answer is to know that labels are useless
If you use cliché definitions like you end up with everything that has a MC be an RPG
I blame how "Action/Adventure" got replaced with "RPG"
