Neither of those is technically an rpg. But if he's just looking for something non fps he can't go wrong with either.

Tlou is definitely an rpg.

(Great) story + upgradable character attributes (well weapon upgrades but it still counts) + a quest to complete equals rpg.

Either way, if op doesn't have ps3 or didn't play it on ps3 he needs to pick it up on ps4. It is a 10/10 and one of my top two games of last generation.

tlou is classified as Action-Adv, Survival Horror. It may have Rpg elements as do many games these days including sports games. That doesn't make it an Rpg.

Would be the same as saying Bioshock/Infinite are Rpgs. Yes they have upgrades, but no they are not Rpgs

a progression system doesnt make a game an rpg

go ahead can call nhl 16 and call of duty rpgs if those are your criteria

Except they are rpgs, a lot of games that are rpgs don't get the rpg tag on wikipedia (which I assume is where you copy/pasted that line from), or other sources, because if you listed every genre+subgenre a game fits in you would have a full page of listings per game these days.

what makes it a role playing game besides sharing a few common gameplay mechanics?

would you consider assassin's creed a role playing game? it is under the criteria that you used to define the last of us as a role playing game.

Two people both explaining how you're wrong. We're the idiots. Okay. It's genre was determined both by the Dev and community as action adv, you're wrong. I know that's hard for some people to hear and actually get over it. But if you're mature (and not a stubborn cunt) you might just do that.
