MODERATORS
You did this specifically to avoid Skyrim and Mass Effect? Last ten years weren't exactly very rich in good RPG's. Good, yeah but nothing "I'm taking a vacation and shut myself in" good. Probably Baldur 3 or Rogue Trader but both have some significant drops of shit in honey.
subjective opinion
GTA (V) is an rpg. So is red dead I’d say
No and no. Both are action adventure. And even if they were, GTA bored me in few hours and RD after looking at screens, so naturally i never mentioned them in a thread about favorite games.
EDIT: now that i thought about it, RD2 came out in 2018 which was the height of the worst period for computer games ever, where multishit mobas, looter shooters and fortnite clones reigned supreme and not only entirely eliminated RPG games from new releases but nearly did it to most other single player genres. Thankfully that amok passed in next two years gradually (and 2023 was best year for RPG in a long time), but it was so bad back then that even many players really hailed RD2 as "rpg" game.
GTA and RD2 were fun as fuck but then again, I’m not a gamer/masochist. I just found the stories engaging.
Well i liked GTA 1 and 2 back in the days. Out of later games in that genre Mafia 1 was great. I hated the action parts, especially racing, but story and game climate were good enough for me to finish it.
F-Zero is a JRPG- Burnout is a Western RPG
Bejeweled is a mobile rpg
