Fallout 4 is an FPS and not an RPG?
I'm not sure how you're defining FPS but to me it's a mix of both.
I actually had more fun with FO3 when I fought battles like an FPS instead of like an RPG with VATS or whatever.
I actually had more fun with FO2 when I fought battles like... chess I guess instead of FPS...
FO2 is closer to a tactical RPG/SRPG, isn't it? Isometric perspective and all?
Yes it is... Only when Bethesda took over, the switch to "FPS" happened.
I can't imagine trying to play FO2 like an FPS, in that case..lol
It is an RPG that has blurred the line into FPS with its mechanics to the point where it has so much of both that trying to put it into a single category is pointless.
