I'm not sure how you define RPG but I'd add Dark Messiah to that list

...Dead Island's an RPG?

Call of Duty? Battlefield? Dead Space?

I mean you did put a load of games which are not RPGs anyway, let's add more to the list.

Real time combat is what exactly - I thought you meant the game plays in real time, like the days are like they are in RL etc

Like what? borderlands & bioshock are the only ones not worthy of First person RPG with real time combat title.

System shock (1994)
System shock 2 (1999)
Bioshock (2007)
STALKER: Shadow of chernobyl (2007)
STALKER: clear sky (2008)
STALKER: call of pripyat (2009)
Borderlands (2009)
Bioshock 2 (2010)
Dead Island (2011)
Bioshock: Infinite (TBC)
Borderlands 2 (november 2012)

None of those are RPGs. Nearly all excellent games which I love, but not RPGs. Having stats and some inventory is not what makes an RPG. I don't want to get into a definition of an RPG debate, but arguing over some games is one thing, arguing over that list is another. Those are clear cut FPSes.

No point in getting picky over definitions, just say that first person games with RPG elements are allowed too. Then Dark Messiah/STALKER/Bioshock fits.

There's also the indie game http://store.steampowered.com/app/91700/. Haven't heard many good things about it though.

Hellgate: London is one FPS/RPG hybrid I can think of that you don't have on your list. Never played it, so I can't tell you if it's any good.

Hellgate: London is an action role-playing game that builds upon the core design of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike by using random generation of maps, monsters, and loot to allow for replayability.^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellgate:_London#cite_note-7} The game can be played in either http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-person_shooter perspective or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-person_shooter perspective. Melee classes are set to a third-person view and cannot select first-person perspective, whereas ranged classes default to a first-person view but can switch to third-person if so desired. Precision aiming is not required to use most weapons; which track their targets, "lock-on", or carpet an area with explosives. The game contains sniper rifles and other weapons that require accurate manual aiming, though most are exclusive to the Hunter faction. Hellgate: London can be played offline or online without a fee. Players can pay a monthly fee to gain additional content over time, including new areas, weapons, monsters, classes, quests, events, titles, game modes and other content.^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellgate:_London#cite_note-8} The game consists of six acts to unify the areas a player travels through on a greater scale. All acts account for approximately 25–40 hours of single-player .

Tell me why is Stalker not an RPG? I picked that one out because you seem like one of those where an rpg HAS to have dialogue options, otherwise it is an FPS.

Red = Bad

It's not an RPG because you can not define any role in the game other than what is provided, and you are not given choices to define your path or your character, and and player skill trumps character skill in nearly every possible aspect.

Hence, the STALKER series are not RPGs. This isn't even debatable when it comes to this particular series.

Like I said, I haven't played it. I've never gone for randomly generated content (my main problem with Daggefall).

So does Call of Duty (it has dialogue too).

Whatever, anyway. The only problem I have with it are incorrectly defined games which waste my time when I'm filtering genres during my monthly game search.

Cod doesnt have dialogue options, cod is a clear cut interactive movie (by interactive I mean shoot and move down a straight path). The multiplayer however has a good leveling system & challenges etc and you can play many different playstyles, could maybe be called a FPS/RPG hybrid(not really), but only multiplayer. I want singleplayer.

Lets not try to make Call of Duty a RPG by any means. No way, no how!
