Orphaned references in Action role-playing game

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Action role-playing game's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "gamedesigntheory":

  • From Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss: Rouse III, Richard (2005). Game Design: Theory & Practice Second Edition. Wordware Publishing. 500-531. ISBN 1-55622-912-7.
  • From Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds: Rouse III, Richard (2005). Game Design: Theory & Practice Second Edition. Wordware Publishing. 500-531. ISBN 1-55622-912-7.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 07:06, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Offline (possibly permanentaly air gapped) and Online requirement are totally distinct forms of game software

[edit]

These are 2 totally distinct categories of game software and their distinct nature is also of critical and unavoidable importance to the gameplay and "life cycle" of a given release. The type of gameplay of each game needs to be distinguished either by including explicit language in EVERY article, or else the organizational terminology used to categorize the wiki articles needs to be modified to include the distinction. The latter is the simplest approach. I came here and added this because it would seem that Action Adventure RPG is the category where this distinction is most commonly encountered, and where it has become increasingly important in the modern game industry, with pressure to shift to subscription models, in game purchases, a built in urgency to continue to play with onging content updates, and as an indirect but potent means of curbing piracy (since such always-connected games are almost impossible to pirate at levels that are economically meaningful for the industry bottom line). However, as I researched contemporary games, I kept running into the problem that the type of software environment was not being explicitly stated. The only vague reference is the existence of "single player mode", which historically "implied" that a game possessed a fully offline air gapped mode of play. This has been confused, as it seems current Wiki editors have mistaken "the ability to play a multiplayer online game in single player mode" as equivalent to historical "single player mode" when they are in fact either distinct types of gameplay, or yet again there needs to be a clarification about which type of gampeplay mode is possible.67.165.122.133 (talk) 17:31, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove games that did not significantly affect the genre

[edit]

Each game in the history section of this article should include a sentence explaining it's historical significance to the genre. If nothing can be added, the game should be removed from the article.


Many parts of the History section are just lists of action RPG games. Such lists should be a separate list article, or a category.

For example, Hogwarts Legacy is listed in a section alone, with no justification on why it was significant. It reads more like an advertisement for the game than useful information. Steven (talk) 23:52, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this, there's a whole section dedicated to Hogwarts Legacy, that did not change a single thing about a genre or games. Elden Ring, even if it is derivative of "Soulslike", had more of an influence, that might be a good one to put in 20s, or Final Fantasy XVI. 77.46.226.25 (talk) 10:39, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
