I... don't think diablo is a hack and slash game.....

Devil may cry 4 was loads of fun, but I can NOT get myself to beat hell or hell... Makes all your hard earned blue orbs useless....Grumble.......
I did like Dynasty warriors for a time, until I realized that the ai is garbage...

 

It sure is a hack and slash. It's aslo a badass RPG.

One hero. Check.

Thousads of baddies. Check

Dozens upon Dozens of skills and spells with which to do horrible things to aforementioned baddies. Check.

Fast paced combat. Check.

 

Everything seems in order here.

 

Um, I really wouldn't define that as a hack and slash game. It's definitely just an rpg seeing as how its' from the top down view, weapons that don't have any hacking or slashing involved such as bows and staves, and the reliance on skills compared to other games.

I'd say hack and slash games are usually in a 3d environment where the player gets specific control onver how he is going to kill the x number of baddies using combos and the like. Not skills that buff your attack or make you spin quickly making a blade whirwind and damaging the enemy's hp.

 

Are you saying that the combos you learn are different than the skills and spells? The only difference is that instead of pressing 1 button to activate them you press 3 in a roll. Also correct me if I'm mistaked but even by your dfinition you damage the enemy's health with those same combos you mention. I get full control over how I'm gonna kill the 2 dozen demons in the next 10 feet of lava, hell Assassins even have combo points and finishing moves which do different stuff based on when/how they are used. Also if you want 3D, go play Titan Quest, that's in a 3D environment and the best D2 clone out there if you want 3D so much.
