What do you mean "from a shooter" ?

This is neither a shooter nor an FPS specifically.

I'd classify it as a shooter, in the same vein as Control. Just not an FPS.

It's a third person action adventure game. Just like Control is.

With shooting, so.. shooter. *shrug*

Tomb Raider games are also third person action adventure games, so are the Just Cause games. Last of Us games are also third person action adventure games, and all of these have varying levels of action in them.

Third person shooter games are another subgenre of games, which often overlaps with the third person action adventure games. Gears of War series focuses more on this third person shooter gameplay, and are an example of third person view games which fit the category of third person shooters than any other genre of games.

As Guardians of the Galaxy offers more adventure game elements than Gears of War, I wouldn't quite call it a third person shooter game. Third person action adventure feels like the most accurate category for it.

If this is a shooter then Call of Duty must be an adventure game...

It would if it had any adventure in it whatsoever. Tell me what on earth constitutes a shooter if not shooting? Genres overlap. Calling it a shooter doesn't override also calling it an action adventure game.

Gears of War games have some action adventure elements but overwhelmingly base their content on the third person shooter element, so these are third person shooters instead of action adventure games.

Even if CoD games had a small amount of adventure game elements they would still overwhelmingly be first person shooters.

Anyways, I'm not arguing semantics, I've presented the official categories for these games. Guardians of the Galaxy is an action adventure game.

User defined tags aren't the same as the official category. I gave Mechwarrior Online a NASCAR user tag because the pvp matches often devolve into rotating circles where players chase the other team's tail. It is not a NASCAR game of course. People can add all sorts of funny & strange tags to games on Steam store.

Enough people think it's a shooter that you shouldn't be making a big deal out of someone calling it one.

I'm not making it a big deal at all, you are free to add shooter tags to it. You can even give it a mega-shooter and hyper-shooter tags if you wish or why not a dating sim tag too. It's your freedom and I encourage you to use it creatively, the end product could be quite funny. My NASCAR tag for MWO has amused quite a lot of people.

The Nascar meme is old though and started during the poptart meta, is it even still a thing?

It has never stopped from being a thing.

Poptarting is now viable once again but not quite as devastating as it was during the days of gauss+ multiple ppc's. Jump jets got a big boost all over the board so even 100 ton mechs can jump on top of buildings now with just three jumpjets if you specc a bit into the jump jet skill tree.

Currently sniping meta rules tier 1, and lurming is almost completely ineffective in high tier matches.

So not much has changed then, sniping has been the dominant playstyle since the 3D and HGN came out. The difference being the switch to acs+ppcs instead of gauss and then the switch to laser boating. Is there still a comp scene? I'd rather not get dragged back into that again if decide to play the game again at some point. Playing all the time to keep a comp spot on both AS EU+NA rosters and then to get into Lords rekt my sleep.
