 But it's not considered a hack and slash game. I really have no idea where you are getting that from. It's considered an RPG or an ARPG. Demon's Souls was an RPG, as was Dark Souls. You can't redefine the genre just because you replace a shield with a gun.

 

Giant Bomb Demon's Soul Overview

Its gameplay is largely hack and slash-oriented, though it requires levels of strategy, thoughtfulness, and precise use of a stamina meter that are not common in the genre.

You can have hack-and-slash gameplay while still requiring strategy, and using a stamina bar.

You're pretty much saying most action adventure games or rpg are hack n slash. Zelda and Elder Scrolls are never considered hack n slash because that title is only reserved for actual hack n slash games like DMC, God of War, Metal Gear rising, Bayonetta. The whole point of this crazy discussion is because you called it a hack n slash kind of game instead of an action rpg which it actually is.
