Ron Gilbert on Nostr: What makes a game a RPG? Ultima, Fallout, Diablo are, but Binding of Issac, Nuclear ...
What makes a game a RPG? Ultima, Fallout, Diablo are, but Binding of Issac, Nuclear Throne are not (IMHO). Is Zelda? If you're playing a "RPG" what do you look for? What makes it a "RPG". Is it more than just collecting weapons and bumping stats? Most game have a form of this that I would not consider a RPG.
