No.
Also boomer shooters are fun.

If a shooter game has a lot of explosions then it would be called a boomer shooter if you ask me.

yeah , most games I've seen use the term ''boomer shooter'' where in fact just games that had this 90's feeling to them , be it something like Doom or Herectic or other popular Retro FPS.

And why should we care about them, anyway?

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

up to now the only game I remember that used the term is Hedon and the game just feel like a modernized version of hexen with hand drawn sprites.

well the character design is nice but personally I dislike the map design , maps are too large and empty for their own sakes.

Only thing inappropriate is people thinking they need to police language. If you don't like what is said, ignore it. No one is forcing you to pay it any attention. No one is forcing you to listen. Just change the channel.

Bruh.

You're right. From a technical perspective, they should be called "Gen X shooters."

New FPS games which pay homage to old school FPS games like Quake, Doom and Duke Nukem.
It's a silly label, i doubt many actually "Boomers" play video games. Just call them retro FPS games.

I was thinking at first you were talking about those top-down scrolling "1943" type shooters -- we GenXers used to call them "top-down shooters" anyway. Before you Zoomers came up with the more appropriate "bullet hell" designation. Credit where credit is due.

Boomer shooter, more commonly known as rocket launcher

I was sure bullet hell was only used to design the harder top-down shooter like the Toohoo games and not replace the term itself for games like 1943.

Bartender, give me two boomer shooters and a scotch on the rocks.
