Intentionally lists RPGs not made in US

"Why doesn't my list have RPGs made in the US?!?"

ಠ_ಠ

Elder scrolls, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, and Mass Effect would all like a word

    RDR isn't an RPG, it's an action-adventure game.

    I concur on the rest.

    I don't think those genres are mutually exclusive. I haven't played RDR1 but RDR2 is definitely an Action-Adventure RPG. You level up Arthur's stats throughout the game and can choose different moral paths that affect the ending. That's playing a role.

    Likewise, I haven't played RDR2 (started, but never got past the first 30 min or so), but RDR1 is pretty much just GTA in the wild west. You can buy stuff (like GTA), but I don't recall any stats to speak of, it's very much an action-adventure. Wikipedia claims RDR2 is an action-adventure, so I assume it's closer to the Yakuza series in terms of character customization than RPGs, and Yakuza games are very much action-adventure (despite having some skills to level up).

    Both RDRs do have stats though

    Stats don't make a game an RPG tho, but they're a common element. A game may borrow some aspects of RPGs, but the core of the game needs to be those RPG elements to be an RPG.

    RDR is an action-adventure game at its core, any stats or equipment is just tacked on.
