I am correct. Saying Dark Souls is an RPG just because it has levels/stats is ridiculous. Even ignoring the "Soulslike" label, the series is an action game at most.

The "RPG" genre implies that the stats/role playing is the core of the gameplay. It isn't. The only thing you do in Souls is roll around and hit the slow ass attack button once a minute.
It's action based and has zero story, party members or anything else that are core pillars of RPG design, both J and W.
