This is his favorite genre?



Devil May Cry 1 or 3, Chaos Legion was pretty good too.

does TNMT:IV count?

Sadly, it's a Beat 'Em Up... but shhhhh, for the good of the cause, we'll say it's a Hack 'n Slash!

Also, this.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I would say Bayonetta but you asked for opinion. Bayonetta is FACT.

Bayonetta isn't hack and slash......

Yes it is. Is Diablo 2 hack and slash?

hack and slash games center around close combat, Bayonetta main weapons are guns, hence it definitly can not be hack and slash.......

So you haven't played Bayonetta? 

I have most likely spent more time on Bayonetta than you have seeing how I have the platinum trophy

 

Bayonetta is not a hack and slash.....

As it has already been pointed out H&S do not focus on stories  but on slaughtering hordes of enemies quickly...

D2, Golden Axe, Titan Quest, Sacred 2, the Baldur Gate game on PS2 are all good examples of hack and slash.

As for the people claiming a game is an RPG and can not be a H&S it is kinda laughable.

H&S historically appeared as a sub genre of RPGs...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2)

I have no snappy come back for that.

 

But then you must realize that a huge portion of Bayonetta revolves around getting a score for dispatching hordes of enemies quickly and that the guns are pretty useless compared to the swords (used for slashing) or the axes (used for hacking) or the claws or the ice skates(!?).  A hack and slash can't have a story?  News to me!

 

*edit*

Well, whatever Bayonetta is, it's the best of its genre.
