Comment on What would a 3rd person shooter equivalent be to "Boomer Shooters"
Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 hours agoGames can be more than one genre. If you read my replies, you’d understand that many action adventure games are also THIRD PERSON SHOOTERS. TLOU: Action adventure 3rd person shooter. Uncharted: Action adventure 3rd person shooter. Tomb Raider: Action adventure 3rd person shooter. Metroid Prime: Action adventure FIRST person shooter. Borderlands: First-Person Shooter Action RPG.

GTA is a racing game, because you have cars. Breath of the wild is a third person shooter, because you have a bow and can shooter. Is that where are at? Oh did I already mention that Breath of the Wild is a Jump’n Run too, because you can jump and run? As said, the shooting element of Tomb Raider is not what it makes to be a Tomb Raider. Therefore calling it a shooter is wrong. It is an Action Adventure. You totally ignore the context in what we are discussion:
3rd person shooter equivalent be to “Boomer Shooters”
And Tomb Raider is not that. The shooting element doesn’t matter for the genre it is in. Off course games can be categorized in one or more genres. But depending on the game, its not important for the genre.

You clearly misunderstood the question OP is asking. Doom is the granddaddy of “boomer shooters.” OP is asking what the granddaddy of TPS are, not what TPS games are similar to boomer shooters. 🤦♂️

Are you seriously considering GTA is a racing game now? omg are you actually trolling?

Are you illiterate? Because I did not say that it is a racing game.

Tomb Raider is not a boomer shooter for third person shooters. And surely not comparable to what DOOM did for shooters. You conflict Action Adventure with shooters. Clearly you misunderstand what these genres are. As in your opinion GTA is a racing game and Zelda a boomer shooter with Jump’n Run elements. That’s not how genres work.
There is no Boomer shooter equivalent for third person shooters. That’s the simple truth. And Tomb Raider is surely not one either.

You really don’t get how inspiration and evolution work or, again, what the premise of the topic actually is, do you? If you think Tomb Raider hasn’t been wildly influential on multiple genres, you must be too young to have actually played the original games or to know the landscape of gaming at the time.
