Should we evolve from "what is a RPG?" to "what isn't a RPG?"
How is going from "defining RPGs" to "not even defining RPGs" a form of evolution?
Well, on this very site, Witcher 3 was nominated the best RPG of the year, at this point, anything that has dialog trees, multiple endings and a shitty progression system is a RPG, by this criteria, even Assassin Creed Odyssey can be classified as a RPG. Maybe we should start judging what isn't a RPG at this point.:lol:

Honestly I see no reason to not have fishing RPGs.

That said, why are most fishing games set in our world/mimic it closely? Where's my sci-fi fishing sim, or fantasy fishing sim. I don't know why I think about these things, but I do.

How is all this an improvement of these games. Now you even have to "unlock" their shitty gameplay in some screen.
