I guess that says a lot about 2012 eh?
Can't see how ME3 is more an RPG than Dark Souls. To be honest don't see how it's more an RPG than Borderlands or Dishonored, it is on about the same level: an action game with sparse RPGy elements. ME3 just sucks more in the story department and is less polished (worst quest journal in ages, for example).
