Please people, help me out with this, which game popularized any modern game to be a huge ass open world action RPG?
My best bet is that it is The Witcher 3's fault.
GTA3 is the one that started the trend.
Hmm, it lacked the RPG part though... GTA San Andreas on the other hand 😀
I wouldn't call most of the modern ones real RPGs either.
