Fucking hell this is super weird. I was going through my comments history, and one of them was "what's a boomer shooter?"in reply to someone who mentioned the term a few weeks ago.
Since it wasn't replied I looked it up like a minute ago, and came across this very article.
The very first thread I clicked on after I came back to my feed was this one :0
I mean, the article specifically states that, as high-budget games, Doom 2016/Eternal don’t really fit into the category:
While they aren’t necessarily boomer shooters due to their higher production values, faster-paced first-person shooters like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, and Halo Infinite are earning more goodwill than the latest Call of Duty and Battlefield games, proving that a faster-paced and more fantastical FPS still appeals to mainstream audiences.
Fallout 4’s more modern gameplay? Oh shut up. They lost me right there. Not that i did not enjoy Fallout 4, do not get me wrong. But it sure is not modern in any way that counts. Quite the opposite. It already feeled aged at release.
I did not compare Fallout 4 to New Vegas but to the time it came out. Which is 5 years later btw. New Vegas had a compelling story telling and role playing while Fallout 4 could barely shine with some minor modernizations.
George, you don’t even own your movie anymore. The mouse bought it for four billion dollars.
Art belongs to its audience. Nobody has a right to censor it after-the-fact - least of all the artist. If you wanted it to be yours alone, you had the choice, and you instead decided to publish. Any control after that is a gift from us to you, and it’s a gift for the explicit purpose of getting us more art.
I agree. It’s a pre-apocalyptic movie that gets as close as possible to crossing that boundary, without doing so.
Though I would argue that there’s not a hard cutoff between the pre-apocalypse and post-apocalypse. There is also a period where the apocalypse is actively occurring. So there’s a pretty big barrier to it becoming post-apocalyptic.
Is this from the Nintendo part or from the Of America part? (As in, is this Nintendo philosophy or just because it’s supposed to be that way in the US?)
Ah I see it doesn’t work with the Gamepass or VR versions of 4 which are the ones I have. That’s a shame. Maybe they’ll port to Gamepass in the future.
