This thread is giving me an headache.

Sounds cool but honestly i'm more interested in the rest of the game, not really into the whole randomization thing.

Actually I agree with you. Bloodborne is, essentially, a hack and slash role playing game. The focus is on the hand to hand combat, but the difference that Bloodborne has with DMC or Bayonneta is that those two don't have role-playing elements.

Aside from that you are basically right, Bloodborne is a hack and slash role playing game.


NO. Darksiders is a hack and slash RPG. Bloodborn is a dungeon crawler with RPG elements.

Isn't Bloodborne a Dark Souls successor? Those where hack and slash role playing games. I wouldn't define Dungeon Crawling as a genre, just a mere aspect of a videogame, otherwise we would have to define a Zelda game as an action adventure dungeon crawler game. Seems like a complicated way to define a game.

Sorry for the error but that doesn't change the argument one bit. Demon souls was a hack and slash role playing game too.

Dude Diablo is a point and click game.


...My brain melts. You win. You got me. Diablo is clearly not a dungeon crawler. It didn't literally birth the genre. It's combat is point and click! Bloodborne is clearly a hack and slash game. There's hacking and there's slashing! The Last of Us is a horror game. There are zombies. Duh. Fire Emblem is a JRPG. Made in Japan? Check. Anime art style? Check. Super Metroid isn't a platformer. The point is the exploration. Who cares if the entire system revolved around platform upgrades?

Diablo is just a point and click game. Clearly. I've got nothing. I've got nothing.

Dude, calm down. He didn't say that Diablo isn't a dungeon crawler. He just said that it is a hack-and-slash dungeon crawler. Everyone knows this.

I can detect your sarcasm and it stings like a bee to my balls.

If you think Diablo birthed the dungeon crawler "genre" then you are very misinformed, games like Wizardry or Bard's Tale did. Diablo is a point and click RPG.

So yeah, you have nothing.
