Comment on What would a 3rd person shooter equivalent be to "Boomer Shooters"
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 9 hours agoTomb 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.

Just because I do not agree with you does not mean I’m young. Tomb Raider just does not fit the description of 3rd person shooter equivalent be to Boomer shooters what Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM and Quake did for the genre. In fact, there is a chance that I’m even older than you. But age doesn’t matter for opinions about genres.
