Do you think Animal Crossing is an RPG?

[Jeremy]

What do you think?

 

[Monkey09]

Yes

 

[Smart_Tech_Dragon_15]

Yeah, in a way.

 

[picklewarrior098]

not really.its more like a hobby

 

[DSCUBER9000]

Well, you play the role as somebody and it is a game. That's enough to make think of it as an RPG.

He has a point.

 

[GAMEQ]

yeah I think it is. "A Role you're Playing in the Game."

Wow. Look at the capitals in that message lol. ^^

 

[Lone_Wolf]

kind of

 

[DarthGohan1]

i voted for this a while ago, and forgot what i voted for, but it's not really an rpg, more of a sandbox game with some rpg elements.

 

[Bulerias]

No, AC is a simulation game.

 

[Mino]

It's not, not in the traditional-video-game sense of the word.

 

[Bulerias]

There is a lot of confusion as to what an RPG is. It's not if you only play a role. You play a role in an adventure game, but it's not called an RPG. An RPG is when you not only play a role, but there is also character development, like leveling up.

Yes, more or less.

In the traditional sense.

According to Gamespot Animal crossing is an RPG.

According to Gamespot Animal crossing is an RPG.

Well, that's just because they don't have a broad range of choices. They probably only have about 10 genres in there.

Gamespot is kinda, uh, stupid.

 

[SMRPG1]

In some ways it can be and some ways it isn't.

 

[DarthGohan1]

I'd say it's more of a sandbox, but that doesn't have its own genre...yet.

 

[Flummoxer]

Yeah because it won Best RPG in one of those NP magazines.

 

[YesManJr's_Cohort]

I don't think so.For me, an RPG is an adventure game, one where you journey to far away lands, with a goal.You venture with other people and level up.In Animal Crossing, you hardly have any of that.You do travel places sort of...but you don't really have a goal, except to live a good life and pay off your debts.But there's no levelling up or adventure.

 

[AVGanondorf]

I don't think that Animal Crossing is an RPG because there is no leveling-up.
