    CRPG is at least as rock solid standard of a term, with decades of history, as JRPG or ARPG. They’re all very clearly different genres, with common ideas on progression.

    Computer RPG was established to differentiate from table top RPGs many years ago. It doesn’t mean “cinematic”, and it shouldn’t need to be defined in an article on gaming any more than FPS does.

      It’s bad writing not to define the acronym. Refer to the 10k comic from xkcd.

        I promise you less than 1% of writers define FPS. Probably in either context.

        Defining acronyms in a 4 sentence article is dumb.

          It’s dumb to use acronyms in a title at least, use the full term in the title and then acronyms afterwards

          Then it’d be a five sentence article

      Been gaming 35 years and never heard the term and to top it off, at least according to you, they used it wrong.

        Your lack of understanding of a basic term isn’t anyone else’s issue.

        And no, they didn’t. You failed to read a sentence correctly.
