An action-RPG is still an RPG. This isn't about whether Diablo is a PURE RPG or not.

When in actuality no-one had ever asked if it was an RPG or not. A better poll question would have been: "What genre is Diablo 2?" With options for Action-RPG, RPG, Adventure, etc... and I bet we would have gotten at least 80% of the votes saying it was an Action-RPG. |

Nothing. This whole arguement is stupid, which I have thought all long. I didn't start it, Fifth did. I feel ashamed for having spawned this bullshit. It's just so silly. Not only is there no point in arguing about what genre a game is, but the people in here are like sooooo attached to their opinions, and are arguing about 2 contradicting things. It just can't work out. Most here aren't very reasonable at all. We've ended up bashing each other in one way or another. It's so unnecessary. I agree with it being an action-RPG, though. And I also agree with what AlumiuN said... I think.

Let's blow some shit up. That never gets old! And the emotion of seeing thing go up in flames could re spark the camaraderie lost in all this arguing. I propose we put fire to a gas station
I don't think that Action-RPG makes much sense as a genre (I remember I used to refer to this kind of games, when I was a kid, as an "Arcade with character sheet" ), but I'm not looking for arguing about this because it will lead us nowhere. And I find that this kind of arguments, when involving some of this kind of games about which people feel strongly, usually leads to fighting, bad blood and stubbornness. So now, let's all shake each other hand and agree to disagree. And blow some shit up :P |

What I'd expect from such a poll would be a result of about 30-50% in favor of various choices related to RPG (like Action-RPG), which would be the highest amount due to the so widespread belief that it is an RPG game... Largely due to the way the game itself was advertised, as I already pointed out earlier in this thread. Then the rest of the voters would be scattered around the rest of the choices, with a small amount of people voting Rogue-like for the simple reason that most people don't even really know what a Rogue-like is and Action being the second highest.

Me and Fifth simply happen to be strong believers of side which strongly believe that Diablo II is not an RPG. It is not the first time that I jump head first in such an argument, and as long as I do not firmly believe that I am wrong then it won't be the last time either. For me it is really not a matter of arguing. It is a matter of seeking the truth, and what make me think this whole argument or crusade is worthwhile is the fact that so many people (who don't know better) firmly believe that Diablo II is a classic RPG game... And I also believe that those "so many other" are also in vast majority. (*sigh*) Quote:

Really? I thought you said it was something like "A graphical adventure/arcade/simulation/action/racing game with any genre other than RPG" or something.

http://www.mobygames.com/game/cpc/ro...adventure-game See that genre? There's not even multiple ones. You'll have a very hard time finding any site that brands it as an arcade/action game which you claim it to be. And if Rogue is classed as RPG, why would a modern remake suddenly NOT be one? |
