In reply to Ramireza. We gave a broader list than just Quests and XP. But yes there are many variables that define a true RPG.

Quests, XP and an Inventory didnt make a game a RPG. In this case COD is also an RPG, lol. Pathetic.

In reply to DriverPadakaChessnuts. Thanks for the comment chessnuts. I agree with you there, but I do believe Mass Effect 1 was a true RPG. Then they make 2 and 3 more action orientated.

Heavy Rain doesn’t even have any RPG elements. You don’t make decisions for your character (the whole reason it’s called ‘role-playing’, it’s solely plot based.
