The term boomer shooter is just ... really? Like why?

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Because "Gen X shooter" doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way, and because they had their resurgence at a time when "boomer" was coming into its own as a more generic term for "old".

But it's still dumb AF.

It’s boomer because things go boom it’s a reaction name for looter shooter.

Dusk is so good, i played through it on the steamdeck. I tried ultrakill but it was a lot more challenging and I gave up lol.

Ultrakill is the peak of the genre

Do I see Dusk? I love Dusk! Go buy this right now. If you're concerned about digital rights management, don't be. New Blood never adds it to their games.

I saw overwhelmingly positive so I bought it. It has been a blast!

When the free HD DLC section is filled with people BEGGING to pay someone for their work, you know you've found something good

There's always https://xonotic.org/ for some classic feeling doom/quakelike multiplayer action

David Szymanski’s Dusk, Indefatigable’s Amid Evil, and Arsi ‘Hakita’ Patala’s Ultrakill are once again offered together as the publisher’s defining trilogy of FPS games. With respective Steam review scores of 97%, 94%, and 98%, they’re three of the most must-play games.....
