I must share one opinion about Age of Conan. I think it is just another hack and slash combat game like so many others. I sometimes despise that, because I have always thought that this game is like no other on the market. This revelation is not good for me because I will probably stop playing AoC. What do you think about this and do you have similar opinions about the game?

How can you say something like that regarding Age of Conan? This game is not just another hack and slashes combat game. Of course, there are many games like this one, but this is the best you can play. There are so many game that you can say they are clones of this one, but many things are setting apart AoC from them. There are many fantastic quests and stories you can take part in, and the pure fun you can always have is just unbelievable. If you are considering stopping playing Age of Conan, then you must know the following. You will make a big mistake if you do that. Nowhere will you find such a great game like this one.

To be honest there is nothing about AoC that reminds me of a "hack and slash."
The combat in AoC is very slow and strategic, almost cumbersome at times. The only redeeming quality are the things like some of the story, PvP, and quests and guild cities etc.
I'm not necessarily defending it, but hack and slash to me says the focus is on tight responsive action, and everything else is secondary. Just didn't get that when I was playing the game

Button mashing is inherent in any keyboard / mouse oriented game. What do you expect really? I'll have to disagree with Monkeus, PvP combat in AoC is fast pace and there isn't much room for error. It's definitely a different game mechanic than previous MMOs, in a good way. But I feel it has the same amount of "strategy" as others.
