Dead Space 3 RPG elements

I've been hearing it both ways when it comes to DS3 and the RPG elements in the game.  Some people say it's pretty much standard action fair: you can upgrade guns and build a few things, but nothing special.  Some people are saying there are a ton of things to build, upgrade and find in the world, adding a lot of depth and variation to playthroughs.  Which are you guys finding to be true?

The optional side missions are some of the best parts of the game as well....

It appears quite a few games lately are incorporating RPG elements into games. Far Cry 3, Darksiders 2 and now Dead Space 3. Personally I really enjoy RPG elements within a game.

did u enjoy the rpg elements in far cry 3.:)

so many games use "some RPG elements" now, FPS : you'll get new abilities and spend points to choose them as in RPGs, racers : you'll get more otpions for your cars, survival horror : you'll get either equipment or skills to get better to survive or kill things, golf : you'll get some kind of XP to get better at things, and equipment that boost your stats ... it's so widespread in every genre I don't even consider it an important element when I choose a game ; and even it seems thrown in your throat and it doesn't bring anything good, or it's just there and you won't use it at all, you just get this nice knife that does damage, not caring if it's +2 damage, +1 critical rate, +2 durability, it just kills zombies or else, the "hey, buy this game cause it has RPG elements" has grown old

Yeah I did, gave exploration even more purpose :)

This is the 2nd thread I've seen about this. DS3 is not an RPG it has greater weapons customization than previous ones is all.
