OK Boomer Shooter: How indie games breathed new life into a dying genre - Lemmy Ninja Clan

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ninja/post/10393 [https://lemmy.ninja/post/10393] > “Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake. >

It’s been used for a couple years now. Seems like a pretty small thing to get so worked up over.

Hyperboles man. But in general I just hate the term don't subcategorize shooters based off of the era it's designed around. It's just stupid subcategorize off of different things
