I HATE “boomer shooter”

Boomer shooter isn't the worst genre name ever, in fact I think it fits the genre quite well. There are certainly a lot of things going boom in a typical boomer shooter, and the baby boomers are only one generation off of the "proper" generation, so it represents its age.

Certainly better than the -likes, do you guys really want the "doom-likes" term to resurface?

What are your Favorite and Least favorite genre names?

Whoa calm down, While I was a bit harsh, I definitely didn't mean any hostilities you might have picked up from this.

Genre names are just names of the genres. They have no bearing on the actual quality of the games that they categorize. There are good games in poorly named genres and bad games in aptly named genres.

I was just sharing my thoughts on what the industry calls them and wondering what other people thought about them

Games with good procedural generation?

Reply in thread

Same, though the base building is also one of the things that ties the procgen there together imo. Theres something just cool about being able to discover random player's bases organically by exploring, even if it is rare to actually find em in the quintillions of planets

Thanks for understanding, most arguments I see on the internet only escalate further, and I appreciate the calm discussion and the compliments

Looking back on your post history, I do see that people are being too harsh on you. It sucks that people immediately jump to the worst possible interpretation.

I hope that you don't get discouraged by these comments, and only look to the genuine discussions for ways of improvement

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach pre orders starting march 17th

Reply in thread

I'm gonna be that guy and say that death stranding isnt a walking simulator by definition, walking simulators as a genre are more like visual novels meanwhile death stranding id more call a hiking simulator about the logistics of going from A to B.

I'd say death stranding is more like euro truck simulator on foot than it is stanley parable.

Other than that pretty much my thoughts on the game.

Hands-on with Payday 3's expanded stealth heisting, in which everything goes wrong | PCGAMER

Reply in thread

Payday 3 seems to be abandoning most of the mechanics that 100% force loud like concealment so the horde shooter part is more likely to be the "plan B"

But of course public games will be public games, so unless you're playing with friends expect that some people will either just suck at stealth or just "didn't queue up razormind so that they could rob a bank quietly"

Welcome to Skyrim Mods! Let's get this party started! What are your favorite must have mods?

Yes, i’m sure - Among other things, makes it so that poisoning a weapon doesnt have an awkward “are you sure” popup for every single time you want to poison

TrueHud or any other hud that allows you to see enemy stamina and magicka, making picking elements to starve enemies of their energy a viable strategy without changing a thing

Elden parry (+ stuff to make it work on the latest version) - Might not mesh too well with skyrim’s combat, but damn if it isn’t just fun to stagger enemies
