You started by asking the definition of boomer shooter, which I responded to. Then you added the fact Doom 3 came out in 2005. Since your context was, “what’s the definition of a boomer shooter.” I responded to that.

Maybe next time frame your question better to get the information you’re looking for?

A game is called a boomer shooter based on several criteria. Usually they’re first person. Does that mean a third person shooter can’t be a “boomer shooter”? No.

Quake III is just one game that boomer shooters are based on. Doom (1993) is a game that boomer shooters are based on too. Neither one is a boomer shooter itself. A Boomer Shooter is a modern creation meant to replicate past play style, video style, and audio style too… It’s more than just “pixelated/voxelated…”

I’m providing a best guess on that. I may be wrong. Who knows maybe it’ll be “xtxt” or xt^2 pronounced “extasy.”

Each one of the graphics in the article is linked to a demo of a boomer shooter with a female protagonist. I even mention a few in the article. I talk about female leads, and then apply them to boomer shooters. I didn’t think it would be that unusual…

Nope, regret to inform you it was written by a human. Was this commented by an AI? Nah, who am I kidding… if an AI wrote the comment, it would have known to capitalize AI…

We whole heartedly support blasphemy!

This definitely gives you one.

Now I know to go back and look for Easter Egg levels. Thanks.

I beat Myst in 19 hours of continuous game play without a guide or the internet. Best? Well, if you intend to beat it, it’ll take a lot of thinking through stories.

My response to this will look like a who’s who of Dreamcast games. The Dreamcast was the first console I bought myself, so I have lots of fond memories.

• Soulcalibur I & II
• Sega NFL 2K1 (and I was NOT a sports game person)
• Shenmue I & II
• Jet Set Radio
• Phantasy Star On-Line
• Quake III arena
• Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
• Hydro Thunder
• Fur Fighters

For reference, the same is true of all the tapes made for the ZX Spectrum. They would all fit on a single 2GB SD card (not even SDHC).

I run a community called Boomer Shooter over on lemmy.ninja. I’d pick games like Deadlink, Ghostware, and Prodeus. They check all the boxes for me.

Glad to be of service.

I’ve seen reputable publications call Duke Nukem Forever a classic. Look, I’m doing something here as a hobby. I don’t get paid for this, I do it for fun. I’m not absolutely right about anything I post. You’ll notice I opened this with an edit showing the mistake I made. It was a pretty significant oversight. Is this a hill to die on? I mean, why argue this? Does that word change anything significant in what I wrote? I’m asking honestly, and am not attacking. Does it really matter to the article that some people call that game a classic? Do you think I’m going to be motivated to write more and post it here by arguing this with you? Are you honestly open to changing your opinion on the subject? Or are you just here to be absolutely right? I could do like other people and just drop a link to someone else’s article, that you will have probably already read. Instead, I worked to create something. So, I’m going to make mistakes. Can I ask, how much did you pay for my time?

I spent my time researching and writing something, put it together, and posted it. I started by being nice. His opening move was to attack and insult me, directly. I attacked his arguments. I wasn’t fighting. Since you can’t tell the difference I’ll do you a favor and not return. I’m sure someone else will happily tolerate this nonsense.

I wrote n article on it. Go read it. I also mentioned in comments in several places… But I’ll give you a hint… Why do you think the title ends in a question mark?

If you wanted me to take you seriously, you wouldn’t have opened with a dehumanizing comment. No, I write my own articles.

“Steam reviews claim…” and Flat-earthers claim and theists claim and chem-trailers claim and anti-vaxxers claim…

Now what was that you were saying about writing just for the sake of posting something?
