EA's online store is not an online store? Oh OK.
You're merely assuming that ME3 is not to be considered an RPG because there's nothing on the game's official website saying, in bold letters: "Mass Effect 3 is a Role Playing Game" or "Mass Effect 3 is a RPG". You're making this whole thing up to support your point of view based on a single website, just because it does not contain what fits on your criteria to classify something as an RPG, despite Bioware/EA claiming time and time again on multiple interviews or other gaming sites that ME3 is a RPG.
If you want to be selective on what you pick to support your opinions, that's fine. This, however, does not change the fact that Bioware and EA have always been marketing this game as an RPG.
In the other thread I listed two articles written in the past two months where Dr. Ray and Casey Hudson call it a RPG. Jaesun is wrong.Even the people who made the game don't consider it an RPG. Case closed, Jaesun is right.

Fair enough, that is your opinion, and I have mine. I'm still standing that if a game's official website has no mention of it being a RPG then I am considering it not being marketed as one.
According to the official website (in the About Page) Mass Effect is:
- Interactive Storytelling
- Customization
- Adrenaline Pumping Action
- Ruthless and Intelligent enemy AI
Also of note, neither does Dragon Age on the official site.
EDIT:
I will be willing to concede that Mass Effect 3 IS a RPG (that is being marketed as a RPG) if you could find an official press release on the game, where in the release it specifically states RPG or role playing game. IIRC even Skyrim stated the word RPG or Role plaing game in it's official press release.
Case closed. Please don't make this an issue again or I'll demote you. The point is not to be anally retentive about what is and what isn't an RPG. The point is to have a forum where we can discuss RPG type things and argue about whether shit is or isn't an RPG. Not to keep moving shit back and forth between forums like petulant tards.
And now to wait until someone comes up with a RPG that has neither stats nor level ups, so the subforum can finally be called GAMES WITH NUMBARS

I don't want any further drama.
Yes. Try voicing a different opinion in a thread about whatever overhyped shooter with stats was released recently in a shooter with stats forum and enjoy shit flinging at you for several pages whereas all other posts are "yes this new Bethesda/Bioware/Obsidian/CDP game is so awesome, not like that shit by retarded Bethesda/Bioware/Obsidian/CDP" - varies depending on what dev is cool or not at the moment. Right now Bioware is becoming the cool dev again with a random Mass Effect thread getting to 150 pages in no time (because ME3 is close to release and Codex is overloading Origin with preorders already). Guess Bethesda will be the ultimate evil this season (cuz no game is close to release yet by them).Excommunicator said:"This is not a real RPG so I am moving it" is really no different to someone else not approving a message because they don't like the views in it. Does that sound like the Codex?
