in common sense every games are made to be role playing where as you control a character,object or whatever in a story
the term role playing also can be use for movie because the actors role playing as a character also in the story
the need to differentiate every games or movies is how are they been presented.which means type/genre of the game or movies.
type or genre need to be specific to show the differences.thus the term action,figting,horrow,drama,survival,sports or anything else are being created.
all in all it just a term for games and movies and rpg games basically games that doesnt have specific genre to it and i can call it whatever i want lol
Nope, control a character in a game does not equal to role-playing. Many people has vague understanding of the term role-playing before trying to define what is a RPG. the term role playing also can be use for movie because the actors role playing as a character also in the story

By referring to the concept of PPRPG, RPG games should let you assume roles (i.e, good lawful warrior, evil chaos wizard, neutral thief) in the games. And when you are playing the games with the role you assume, you should make decision and act accordingly to your role, for example, good lawful warrior shall not act evil and could only do things accordingly to his/her skills, for example, not able to cast powerful magics which is only allowed for wizard. If any player does anything out of behaviour in the games, he/she actually fails to play the role.
So, playing as Ryu in Street Fighter is not role-playing, you merely use a character in the game and you have no role to assume, in particularly, you have no choice to act differently; you can't have evil magic casting Ryu, can you?
The most important aspect in RPG games is choice and decision to make.
