(Seriously, who gives a crap what arbitrary genre label retailers file it under? That game is what it is.


Agreed. Genres especially mean less nowadays. Both Call of Duty and Bioshock are both classified as FPS, but those games are barely similar.


They are barely similar because one is an FPS, the other and FPS with RPG elements. Different genres.

Sorry if it seemed like this, mine was not to argue against your point, it was agreeing that retail and industry genre labels suck. Another example is putting Mass Effect and Chrono Trigger in the same RPG genre. Usually the genres they choose are completely unhelpful in making a purchasing decision.
