Comment on What would a 3rd person shooter equivalent be to "Boomer Shooters"
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 8 hours agoI’d say that’s a pretty arbitray and weird way to think of it.
I’d say considering Tomb Raider, Uncharted and The Last of Us to be a shooter is a weird thing. Especially so when we talk about a thread where we compare it to Boomer Shooters, where the shooting element is the main genre.
Otherwise with your weird of thinking GTA 5 is a racing game and Final Fantasy 7 Remake is an action game, not an RPG.

Honestly, I don’t really think the original FF7 (or any FF for that matter) is much of an RPG in the first place. The only thing it actually shares in common with the genre is turn based battles and leveling up to get stronger. They’re closer to a visual novel than a true role-playing game.
But that’s what they are called by their developers.

And you call me arbitrary and weird way of thinking.

“Doom isn’t a shooter. It’s a labyrinth game with shooting mechanics.”

With your logic Breath of the Wild is a Jump’n Run, because you can jump and run in the game??
