Yeah, I agree. Monster Hunter is better.

Was not expecting to see Nergigante in this topic.
D2, D3, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, D1, Torchlight.

Pretty much everything out there right now TBH.

That the perpetual resident 40/40 troll isn't playing pretty much confirms this.

Just out of curiosity, what is this "RPG" element in poe everyone speaking about?
To me, it just pure hack'n'slash, straight as a monorail.

Character progression (stat/gear etc) is an RPG element.
That element has been defined as RPG through gaming history. It's not just about creating a unique character with a certain backstory and making choices/playing a role, in the storyline.
It's not that stricly defined.
You could even argue almost every game where you play a character is a role playing game, but it's not that simply defined. It's what gaming history has formed the genre as over the years.
There is no other genre name you could fit that gameplay element into. Except maybe stat/loot progression simulator :D

Dunno what could be more "RPG" like than assuming the role a of a random exile who destroys metric tons of monsters at a scale that literal oceans could be filled with their corpses and becomes a god slayer on their journey only to get randomly killed in a random location by a random noname skeleton archer with a random wooden arrow out of the random nowhere cuz the goddess of fucking randomness deemed it so...

Wait..doesn't the R of rpg stands for random? o.O
