Mother/Earthbound fan here.
Gimgak said:That's not an RPG, that's an MMO. RPGs are a dead genre with hardly any major releases following this generation. Games with RPG elements are everywhere and you got your jrpgs but true crpgs have been long gone, even indies like spider web are turning away from the genre.glock said:Simple any RPG game.
There slow...
There boring...
I did fall asleep while playing one...
Most you have to pay to play a month 😛

Genres will evolve over time as well. That would be like saying adding in mulitplayer functionality killed off RPGs. It didn't. They still thrive well in the market as MMORPGs. Think of WoW. As much as people hate that game. It makes Blizzard rich. For them to have as many players as they do. Probably more then any other game out there. It can't suck to bad if that many people play.
As for the person saying they prefer turn based rpgs, well they didn't die off, what happened was, the fanbase for them died off, due to different genres being created. The fans went to a new genre because the old genre wasn't good enough anymore.
Yes, RPGs are dead. You can pretty much pinpoint the death of the genre to the release of Diablo, from which more action-RPGs have spawned and have replaced the genre. There is no such thing as C&C anymore. Tactics are gone from western releases. The crpg is dead. If you think there's no audience then just take a look over at the RPGcodex, the audience is out there. Developers just go for the action games nowadays and slap rpg onto the box.Delirious said:You don't kill off a genre by making sub-genres of it. Think of it this way. Games evolve over time.
