Considering the fact that the only other RPG elements in these games are stats (rudimentary) and collecting items (utter shit), the only other way ER could've been "more like an RPG" was through NPCs and environment interactions, which are negligible.Holy shit, you're tearing up the roots of the genre now.
I mean, this is completely wrong unless you're a complete storyfag (disgusting creatures).
... have you even played any classic CRPGs? Go try Wizardry and Might and Magic and get back to me.Considering the fact that the only other RPG elements in these games are stats (rudimentary) and collecting items (utter shit), the only other way ER could've been "more like an RPG" was through NPCs and environment interactions, which are negligible.Holy shit, you're tearing up the roots of the genre now.

Yes. Exactly what about Elden Ring is "more like an RPG" than other Souls games which are action games? Since its "storyfag" aspect is inadequate, and the "combatfag" aspect is also inadequate for Elden Ring to be an RPG?... have you even played any classic CRPGs?

More fleshed out NPCs and quest lines is a big one. More open world structure and items to allow you to decide on different approaches to situations. The entire thing felt less "gamey". From's level design has always been great, but also quite artificial, whereas Elden Ring felt less artificial than the prior games despite continuing the same tropes such as one way doors.
I didn't say their combat systems are similar (because they aren't)
I can see how someone from the outside might think that Sekiro and ER combats are similar
The biggest problem is that despite being one of the worst PB games ever and a huge disappointment in general, Elex 2 is still 10 times more of an RPG then Elden Ring or even Arthur the Knights tale (and I love that game). Just like Black Gayser despite being a very watered down, sugar free BG clone should have been way way higher on the list simply because its still 100% pure CRPG while crap like GOW never should have been on that list in the first place. But the entire voting system is completely broken. DECLINE!!
There's always a tension in these lists between "best game" and "best RPG excluding everything I don't feel is RPG enough".
Possibly would have been higher if the poll used the Felipe 1-4 scale, but 3/5 it is.

That would require having a spine and also playing RPGs, which excludes most of the people that whine every year. I've checked up on some since the raw data is available and most don't even vote or troll-vote and then proceed to complain about troll-results. It's amazing.
I don't know about that. A game with 3, 4 and 6 would make for a pretty strong RPG. Granted, it is harder to find than something with just 1, 2, 3 and 5.
I found Souls games to be pretty much always "rythm game design". Enemies have a pattern, you exploit that pattern. That's pretty much it.
Are you questioning the ancient Codex tradition of
Let's see here...
"Roll"
Because a majority of the codexers are completely retarded and there's a minority of decent guys now. Not that the watch is doing any better, just have a look a their thread , its shameful.
