Again: who defines that? You?No, Diablo is not an RPG. It never was.
Why has it been called ActionRPG for nearly thirty years if it is not an RPG?
The same goes for pretty much every JRPG.

Let's summurize my thoughs about the game :
- Someone in french Youtube called it an AAA narative game, which is quite accurate.
- The game lacks too much interaction in the world to be called RPG. Choice are not THAT impactfull, and the story is pretty much on rails. As a result, someone in US on Youtube told in CP77 the player explores the map and not the world, which means to me that CDPR miss the essence of RPGs.
- I'd call it a walk sim. With combat / driving / stealth, because this game, in my opinion, is a platform which miss about 50% of it content (or even more).
As a walk sim, it's not well received by the public because 33-50% of its current content have bugs, which breaks the fourth wall.
When the player explores an area, he immediatly receives a huge number of phones calls, which fills the map instantly. It's not well designed here. Between missions, CDPR should limit the spam of phone calls with a limit of 1 per 10 minutes. That would also cure that stupid double phone calls problem.
I want so much to mod that game...
Hello, I had many discussions about it with many people and I wanted to know your opinion. I understand that the industry today tends more towards hybrids than pure genre games.
Personally, I consider that it has rpg characteristics but is more focused on an action / looter sandbox.

clearly nobody can agree on what an RPG actually is.. Kinda like every other game genre right...
You know, I've actually been wondering that too since CDPR changed the genre of the game in the info part of their official Instagram. I was wondering what the difference is between an open world action-adventure and an RPG. According to Wikipedia both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are classified as Action RPG's while Fallout 3 and Skyrim are considered an action role-playing open world. It honestly depends on who you ask because you will get different answers. I know for me, an RPG is any game where I can customize my character and make decisions that affect the story in some way. So I personally would classify Cyberpunk 2077 as an RPG and apparently so does Wikipedia.

If it have level or progression of a character that might be enough. World of Warcraft is a MMORPG, Diablo and POE is also categorized as RPG. So I guess CP is as well or at least have just as much right to be categorized as such, since it does have levels and character progression/customization.
True RPG are in my opinion are game like Fallout 1 and 2, New Vegas, Diablo 1 and 2, Baldur Gate 1 and 2,Hello, I had many discussions about it with many people and I wanted to know your opinion. I understand that the industry today tends more towards hybrids than pure genre games.

Why are ppl always complaining about Keanu ?Comparing CybperPunk to Horizon Zero dawn, which has never crashed for me. CP is still in the Aloy baby stage of being trapped inside the cave and unable to get out? I wish it wasn't so, as I love the Witcher3 RPG aspects. The setting is so far off of a RPG?
I have lived in cities and playing in a city basically sucks-turds, it is why I stopped playing Grand Theft auto period.
They would of done better to have made a Witcher4 with Ciri as the main toon and Geralt as the some-time side kick getting old and maybe dying like Jackie? And that BS about gamers complaining about the Witcher 3 main story to long? NOT....
I have over 6k hours on all the Bethesda games and still playing. Why not post some of those complaints as now your reputation is so tainted who believes that lie?
Also making the game end? WITCHER 4 should have no level cap, no end of story? Why do you think Skyrim keeps selling products? Because the game never ends? Well ok there is a 250 level cap?
Modding with adult mods has Also made that so?

It doesn't even come close to a Sims game. The sale of cars is also spam?
How many people did they have working on C-P? The other mistake was changing direction mid-stream with Keanu Reeves getting on board?
Keanu Reeves was all about hyper-hyping and the insane ads about cars and fashions? Lame? With that ploy they basically were grabbing the infamous golden-calf-ring and like all WannaBs rich, they ruined there reputation to actually make more money?
A gamble that failed?
Can they fix the game along with there rep or stay a lame-factory-GAME-publiser? A pumping out garbage games?
I think you are right and one of the issues I think CP faces pretty fast, which is sort of the way they have handled combat. It is a weird mix. And maybe it's not even that closely connected to CP as it would any other RPG FPS game, like fallout.Modern games tend to throw all this on it's head. It has a story, characters, progression, loot, equipment, etc. Thus, it's an RPG. To me this does not an RPG make. Those elements should exist in a good RPG. How they work is what determines if the game sufficiently satisfies the requirements. A low body/reflex Netrunner kicking the shit out of our boy Buck by "running the gauntlet" for an hour doesn't do it for me. The player being unable to hit fuck all with a bow when Henry has bad archery does it for me.
PoE is similar to Diablo 3, just miles ahead in my opinion, when it comes to pretty much everything related to what makes a good ARPG.Diablo is a hack and slash loot treadmill with RPG/story elements. I don't know if I played PoE. Of course, I've played so many video games by now it's hard to remember them all. I'd rate CP as a cinematic ARPG with looter shooter elements.
You play the role as V and it's a game, Therefore an RPG
Glad you get my humourIn Pong you play the role as a paddle and it’s a game, therefore an RPG.
If you want to experience some real in depth RPG, one would go for Pacman or FroggerIn Pong you play the role as a paddle and it’s a game, therefore an RPG.
