I agree with you . Look at Dragons Dogma Capcom bills it as an action adventure game yet critics and fans call it an rpg. Just don't call it that are you get responses that typical go its an rpg not an action adventure game.

To get back on topic is anyone surprised at the game. It's the typical hack and slash your way for hours with minimal plot. The last games in the series were no different.
