We all know that Boomer Shooters are stylized FPS games that’s taking inspiration from Doom. But what about stylized TPS games? And what games would you recommend

I only learned of the phrase “Boomer Shooter” the other day. I feel old because my old bread and butter is considered Boomer material…
don’t worry, it’s boomer as in lots of big explodey boom-booms not boomer as in old and out of touch 😁
Really? Good grief. Really poor choice of wording, then. Thanks for confirming!
Nah, I think in reality it really was meant to mean “shooter old people used to play”. But personally I also prefer the “shooters with more boom” interpretation, because of course action games back then had more action and were better, now get off my lawn!
I blame the success of Halo for dragging FPS into almost 2 decades of slow af protagonists with shield mechanics who could only carry 2 guns. Then id broke the cycle with Doom 2016 and made shooters fun again.
Are, are you me? I basically stopped playing FPS when Halo and CoD made them slow and boring.
I just wish I’d known about the Doom community sooner. I played it when it first came out but had no idea that people have basically been making (free) maps for just about the past 35 years. I’ve gotten into it a bit recently but I could’ve just been playing doom during the long boring drought of Halo
I went and played Destiny 1 last night. That game has such amazing artwork, it’s really stunning, especially compared to Destiny 2. With the excellent Halo style gunfeel but faster and more boom.
Made me feel old, playing at nasty 30fps.
