Is IGN Right?

Dark Souls is hardly an RPG. Also why are you even asking if IGN is right, of course they're not. They're IGN.

Hello IGN

wouldn't call mass effect or witcher rpgs either then if dark souls falls out of that category

I know, right? Dark Souls does so many things that typical RPGs don't that I have no idea how anyone could discount it fro mthe category without throwing out hundreds of other games that clearly have less 'RPG elements'.

There are really only two feesible objections, one being that it's an action game instead of turn based, but still more of an RPG than almost every ARPG, the other being that it lacks filler NPCs and large amounts of dialogue sequences everywhere.

How is DS not an RPG but these games are? Fuck IGN total cringe shill company

I don't fucking know, what games are listed?

>Dark sois and fromdrones eternally btfo

Why didn't you link the article or at least screenshot it you fucking brainlet?

This is IGN's ranking list.

1. The Witcher 3
2. Fallout New Vegas
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Divinity Original Sin 2
5. Persona 5
6.Disco Elysium
7.Skyrim
8.Dragon Age Origins
9.Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen
10. Dragon Quest XII for the Switch

Disco Elysium, Persona 5, Mass Effect 2, and the Witcher 3 don't have any character creation, which makes calling them RPGs and Dark Souls not, very suspect.

>Mass Effect got in
Neat, don't need to look at the rest.

>character creation
Hardly. Your character design and choices you make in the game don't really impact the game world you find yourself in; which is pretty much how something becomes a "role playing game". You are allowed to decide on the role of a person you play, and the game world around you reacts in some fashion. Just because you can equip your character in Call of Duty doesn't make it a role playing game.

Me2 good game but linear and no character creation. IGN is shilling for those bucks

Not gonna buy any of your games Bioware, and just waiting for the inevitable closure when your next game is gonna bomb.

Mass Effect 2 is fucking great. Fuck Bioware, or at least what it is now.

Mass Effect 2 has character creation dude. The fuck are you talking about?

Some good and some bad. Overall normalfag list.

Demon/Dark Souls literally saved the generation from the bankrupt creativity that was the 7th gen. I am so glad it came out when it did because those were dark fucking times. So yes, it belongs up there, but I really dont give a shit what e-celebs or what video journalists think.

Everyone's titled to an opinion i guess. Some good and some bad on that list for sure

You dont just need character creation in an rpg, you can do fine without it, what matters is the effects of writing and the choices involved.
I would consider disco elysium to be a text adventure no matter what fancy gloss you put over it.
Also theres no baldurs gate or even neverwinter on that list.
Btw dark souls isn't an rpg, its just an action game with more steps.

This is the dark souls of posts to Yas Forums

>Dark Souls is hardly an RPG
Dark souls is one of the few TRUE RPGs left

>cram a game full of commie allegories
>onions journalists hail the game as brilliant and remarkable
Like clockwork.

We lost xenobros...

>dark souls
>rpg

Just because it has items, stats and abilities it's automatically an RPG? Then I guess both DOOM Eternal and nuGod Of War are RPGs then? Throw hero&looter shooters in the mix as well as most arcade racers out there. Let's keep broadening the definition 'cause you basedlsboys are insufferably insecure.

Why not. Might as well give you something more to ruin with your cancer eh?

Replace Skyrim with Oblivion and Disco Elysium with VTMB and Im okay with this list, mostly. DS really should be there though.

This. If they spent more than 10 minutes on the characters and dialogue however...

It's a true rpg compared to maybe Borderlands lmao
