First and foremost, I'm the OP that first quoted your post, Rab. Borg was browsing and I saw the post and decided to make a quick reply without switching names.

Yeah mate you have a different opinion to me, doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.

That's quite the contradiction right thar if I say so myself! So because I think that the RPG series isn't dull, and I enjoy it, means I'm completely wrong and the entire genre is dull because you said so? I don't understand what you're getting at here.
Opinion != fact.
Also wasn't DQ:Swords an RPG with items and exp and the works? 'Course its more action based being as it's controlled with the wii-mote. But that still makes it an action RPG.
Then again, there are many different definitions of a RPG. Most purists will say a RPG is only something like D&D, or the computer renditions such as Neverwinter Nights. Those are known as Computer RPGs. Then you have console RPGs, which are watered down alot and follow a basic plot line that you really can't stray from such as Final Fantasy. One of my friends will label most RPGs as adventure games, stating that the only RPGs are the ones where you have control over the plot and such. I disagree with him, but again thats his opinion vs. mine.
So if you're saying DQ:Swords isn't a RPG, you're probably right in the sense that it isn't a traditional RPG. But nonetheless, it is a RPG with experience points, items, skills, and the menus.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
