hot take: only isometric games can be RPGs

>>3806744 (OP)

Okay. Explain your reasoning for this bizarre position.

You've got to include top-down, bro. The very first rpg was not even iso.

>>3806745
i would but youre a tripfag so its waste of my time
>>3806747
top-down means its RTS

>>3806744 (OP)
No. Only text-based games can be RPGs.

>>3806752
WRONG these are MUDs, not RPGs
so many amatours here these days

>>3806744 (OP)
Every game is an RPG because you take the ROLE of someone other than yourself

>>3806793
NO but if team has more than 6 characters its an RTS game

>>3806793
>Every game is an [noun] because you [verb] with as an [adjective]

midwit irony is such a sad display

>>3806744 (OP)
That's not a hot take, that's bait

>>3807099
it's not bait, it's an open invitation to participate in a retard circlejerk.
congrats.

>>3806744 (OP)
I'm biased to isoshit so sadly I will have to agree

>>3807255
based 1:0 for me then

>>3806744 (OP)
>perspective SoMEhOw decides gameplay mechanics/intricacies

get your head checked, m8

>>3806744 (OP)
that makes no sense

>>3806829
that makes even less sense

RPGs can only be turn based.

>>3807558
Of course it does, top-down and isometric both have their faults when it comes to platforming, especially when it comes to judging height. Compare Alunda and Landstalker.

>>3806745
Apostle? I didn't vote for you.

>>3808206
yeah but that's not the point. damage calculation, resistances, elements etc. work the same in a first person or 3rd person perspective RPG and 3D environment as it would work in a top-down isometric settting. but nice ragebait threadopener you had there.

>>3808246
>What is line of effect

>>3808148
BUT with exception of using space to pause

>>3807100
yeah, I got BAITED into participating in a retard circlejerk.

Actually any game where you upgrade stats is an RPG

>>3810305
By this logic this board should be flooded with gachaslops then
truthnuke, more like psyop

>>3810305
So you wanna truthnuke huh? Well i mii old white interenet. There i said it

>>3810415
Plenty of gachaslop does indeed have RPG gameplay though, that's undeniable.

>>3810545
RPG gameplay = daily grind + pray for pity rolls to get your PNG/3D model
Also timewalls and paywalls all the way

That said I've yet to see a isometric-styled gachaslop
