Raziel, what you are trying to do is clasify every single game into a single category. I'm not saying MGS isn't a FPS, I'm just saying it's also an RPG.

Okay then, King, by that definition
every game ever made is an RPG. You cool with that? Because, if every game is
technically an RPG, then the term shouldn't even exist. All games shouldn't be called "RPGs" they should just be called "games". So, why don't we just toss that term out altogether, hm? Why don't we start calling RPGs something more accurate, like "Epics". There's a reason the term RPG exists in regards to console games, and it's not to identify a game where you simply "play the role" of the lead character. Every game in the world does that, King.

And I'm going by definition. You seem to be pulling "rules" out of your ass, since I've never seen anyone but you set those rules in stone.

King, I want you to take a look at every traditional RPG in existence, okay? Examples would be games like Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger. What core gameplay conepts do all of those games employ? Stat building, party management and combat strategy. Look at any other traditional RPG in history, and the same rules apply. I'm not pulling
anything out of my ass, the facts are sitting right in front of your eyes. The idea that you're incapable of
identifying those facts is more than a little disheartening to me.

Now to be perfectly fair rpg merely means Role Playing Game a game in which you play as another character and make decisions for that character fits a loose definition of an RPG. On another note, we can all agree that dungeons and dragons is an RPG. D&D created the roll playing genre yet that does not require maintainance of a party it can be played by one person with one pc, its just slightly less interesting

YOU "PLAY THE ROLE OF THE LEAD CHARACTER" IN EVERY GAME EVER MADE. IS EVERY GAME EVER MADE AN RPG? NO.
That definition only applies to paper and pencil RPGs. Console RPGs are a completely different type of game, people. Console RPGs refer to a game that focuses on stat building, party management and combat strategy.
