 Why D&D will never leave Hack -n- Slash   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
If D&D is considered hack and slash for having a lot of options for combat rules, and a listing on the character sheet..
Here's why I think the term Hack and slash is annoying: first of all, I don't care what anyone says: it's a very primitive style of roleplaying.
If there is a standard (of what causes a system to be or not to be 'hack & slash', and thus inherently primitive and thus suitable only to "beginners" or "weak roleplayers"), it should be standardized and applied to everything, or nothing at all.

 Hack & Slash: Lovable Idiots
Hack and Slash (blue and red with the reverse) from episode one are shown to be (1) not that smart (2) so stupid as to be funny.
Hack and Slash are also very close, best friends that look for each other for support (hugging close during Restart) and very concerned when one or the other is endangered (see Slash's response when Gigabyte drained Hack's energy, though Slash's punch ruined Bob's immediate plan).
They are ultimately lovable characters that luckily could continue on as aids to the good guys, though one fears their stupidity might just hurt them sometime in the future.

The game does have some RPG elements as well, but this is nothing more than winning a few battles to gain higher stats and the ability to equip new types of weapons.
Overall, there really isn’t much more than boring hack and slash gameplay coupled with a tactics mode that isn’t fun.
A game that requires you to do the exact same thing throughout the entirety of your adventure just isn’t fun, especially if the main selling point of the game turns out to be nothing more than button mashing.
