Talk:Hack and slash

message: I removed the Deus Ex reference from the article, because I believe the game is anything BUT hack and slash. From the Deus Ex article: "Objectives can be completed in numerous ways, including stealth, sniping, heavy frontal assault, dialogue, or engineering and computer hacking." Dialogue? Stealth? Computer hacking? Hardly seems like a carnage-filled bloodbath to me.  Allandaros 22:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:DWARFAX.JPG

message: The image :Image:DW4Gameplay.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.  In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.
The following images also have this problem:

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:DW4Gameplay.jpg

message: I have already commented in the Deux Ex section above concerning Ultima.  Now that I look at the Lineage page, I am not sure Lineage is a hack and slash game either (I can't say, since I have never played or read a review of it).  What I did notice is that the Lineage game has an overhead view like Diablo and Ultima.  I am worried that Ultima & Lineage may have been included in this article because they superficially resemble Diablo in their interface rather than the game style.  -Anonymous  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.215.94.2 (talk) 16:18, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hack and Slash Definition 

message: Since hack and slash is derived from AD&D, and AD&D is derived from Chainmail and other wargames, isn't that the true origin? Does a trip start in the middle? 155.213.224.59 (talk) 13:05, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You would be better off looking for the origin of the term. Old Dragon magazines would be a good place to start. 65.126.152.254 (talk) 13:39, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
