How long until someone re-skins boomers onto a shooter?

That kinda sounds like something s serial killer would do...Ed Gein...

So is it shit like og DOOM or is it shit with explosions. Or both?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

It's more like Quake than DOOM in terms of shooter mechanics (but the levels are very similar to both). They usually have rocket-jumping/bunnyhopping and stuff. IMO, the high skill-cieling movement and/or combat is integral to living up to the OG boomer shooters like Quake and Unreal

Damn. I'd play all those games, too.

Yes it's annoying because realistically they should be called millenial shooters or something, but "boomer shooter" is somewhat alliterative so I get it
