Mass Effect 2 is not an RPG.

It has the combat dept and complexity of WoW.The first two levels of WoW that is.If you want to call it an RPG be my guest, but you are just downgrading other real RPG games out there. If we call ME2 an rpg we might as well call Infamous RPG.Mass Effect 2 is not an RPG.
Its more of a shooter then an RPG, but that is what Mass Effect should have been in the first place.Mass Effect 2 is not an RPG.

By that logic, every game is an RPG.

Still doesn't make it an RPG.
Call it what you will, amazing game no matter which genre you count it in...
[QUOTE=''JangoWuzHere'']Its more of a shooter then an RPG, but that is what Mass Effect should have been in the first place.[/QUOTE]Agreed.
The Mass Effect series' strength lies in its presentation, not in the depth of its choices. Mass Effect 2 might've simplified a lot of the RPG elements, but that suited the game well.I'm not sure if I'd go as far as calling it ''not an RPG'', but as soon as player skill started determining how good you were in combat...eh, perhaps that's an accurate description.*edit* Still, it had some interesting ideas. If the interrupt system was expanded upon, allowing you to choose from a number of different options (rather than just ''left click for badness, right click for goodness''), then that could be very useful for other RPGs. More choices is always a good thing.

Knew the TC just hate ME2 from past posts, so any other arguments on him would be wasted. Just go by the definition of the words and he can't argue.
It's an action role-playing game.
just a question wouldnt comparing it to WOW make it an RPG since WOW is a MMORPG?
