FPSs with the sole exception being Fallout 4. I don't know how people can tell that a single pixel moving far off in the distance is the enemy. And what do you mean someone's shooting me from behind at exactly 161.8°? How can you tell? HOW?
A lot of the time, the answer is actually cheating
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.
I don't know if this answers your question, but I was very good at Where's Wally as a child.
