What defines an RPG? Does the Genre even exist anymore, or has it just kinda been absorbed by everything else incorporating RPG elements these days? If nothing else, what would you consider a pure RPG?

RPGs, in my eyes, are defined by the conventions set by table top RPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons. These would include things like player statistics that can be changed, experience and levels, class-based structuring of abilities, loot and inventories, and a focus on dungeon crawling/monster fighting and/or NPC interaction

If a game has at least 4 of these 5 characteristics, you can call it an RPG. Otherwise, it merely has RPG elements

An RPG is a game where you throw out the role playing part and just keep the stats part that was a necessary evil to make combat work in pencil and paper format.

The RPG genre is composed of multiple, quite different, subgenres.

What it really needs is a proper classification of those.

Sadly, there is literally no proper academic analysis, since all people who professionally bother with video games are in 9/10 cases 'games=art' fags with pink hair, piercings and tattoos who don't actually know a whole lot about video games.

OP may the classic mistake of posting a picture more interesting than the subject.

Yes I do wonder exactly what the definition is, especially between an RPG and a game with RPG elements.

What you say so is true of JRPGs.

Aside from basic number crunching there's no real game. Don't test your reflexes like an action game or test your brain like a puzzle game. They merely test your patience.
>>
>>341660884
they're shit because the hardcore rpg fans are retards who think being a good game isn't a requirement for being a good rpg. their sacred cow mechanics like dialogue trees and quest hubs are objectively shit from a gameplay perspective, but you can't get rid of them without neckbeards crying that the game isn't a "real rpg."

It's a genre that's only real appeal is it's story telling, The same as walking simulators, and adventure games. Only with a Skinner box progress meter to give you a false sense of game play.

You can completely gut the 'zany satire' from GTA and it still be a fun sand box game. Hell huniepop without the porn scenes is still a playable match three game.

But an JRPG is basically no more than a cookie clicker. It can be a well disguised cookie clicker with memorable plots and characters. But a cookie clicker non the less.

Action RPGs at least let button mash, tactical RPG have an element of strategy with movement, unit placement and positioning.

Yea, i was started to think about that.
Fishes do take a shit, but they dont pee.
so it will take some shit from time to time.

Think that in the other case, you will have to somehow put the fish in a container with water just to take a shit, and then clean the fish and the container...

Both ways we are fucked, at least the fish head cant be recognized as a half human because it dosent have a human brain, so she cant take half of your shit if he decides to go back to the sea.
>>
>>341694805

Animals have inbuilt ways of remaining clean.

As long as the fish is in the water, it would probably be clean, you would only need to call the fishwoman back up if you wanted to fuck it.

Also, you're wrong, the mermaid wouldn't be able to take shit because most of them would be useless underwater.

I would like to have a more detailed anatomy of the lower part of a mermaid.
