Wikipedia Hack-And-Slash

Just because a game has real time combat, doesn't mean it's a hack n slack game. I gave you 3 definitive examples of games that fall under the hack n slash genre. Bloodborne, and all of the Souls games, do not. That's like calling Zelda a hack n slash game. Darksiders, Heavenly Sword, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Dante's Inferno. All Hack-n-slash. Bloodborne is not. It's a dungeon crawler with rpg elements. Not even a little bit hack n slash. 

Unless you have a better definition of Hack-And-Slash I can't agree with you. According to the definition I found Bloodborne falls under the Hack-And-Slash gameplay.

Well if where using wikipedia If you look down the hack and slash wikipedia page you will see a link to a dungeon crawl wikipedia page and it is called a genre there , also it mentions dark souls as an example of a dungeon crawler and Bloodborne fits that bill .
