immersed into call of duty? BAHAHAHAHA! "Im honored to finally meet the court jester"
im sorry but after reading that i can't take you seriously anymore
Well I was kinda exposing your faulty logic there.
"Divinity II immerses me, therefore it's *not* an action-RPG despite having the mechanics of one. Rather it's a traditional-old-school-RPG in the vein of RPG's like Baldur's Gate."
"CoD immerses me, therefore it's *not* an FPS despite having the mechanics of one. Rather it's a traditional-old-school-RPG in the vein of RPG's like Baldur's Gate."No, CoD has never immersed me, I don't even like it. Castlevania Lords of Shadow immersed me though and I truly sympathized with Gabriel but do I consider it a traditional-RPG for that reason? No. It's just proof that an action-adventure game can immerse you too. Action-RPG's are meant to immerse the player due to the importance of story (why do you think Mass Effect and The Witcher 2 are so popular?) so if Divinity II didn't immerse anyone, then it wasn't doing its job.
Diablo, Darkspore and Torchlight are all action-loot-RPG's (there's a fundamental difference) and are based upon killing, looting and leveling up. There's no role playing in terms of choices to make and the story is lite.
Action-RPG's have many things in similar with a traditional RPG but combat contains action elements and some aspects are down to player skill.
