That’s a good one. True enough, Splatoon doesn’t go boom, it goes splat.

Nope, that goes boom, too.

Okay, then riddle me this: which shooter DOESN’T go boom?

Raging against new slang is just gonna make us more out of touch, and intensify the feeling of being old, so I just accept it and try to keep up.

NEVER! I choose to embrace my inner geriatric and complain about kids these days and their hippy-hop music.

Oh, I’m liking this take. Get ready for “Z Shooters” and “Alpha Shooters”.

Get off my lawn and leave me to my prune juice.

It does roll off the tongue nicely, I have to admit.

It wasn’t? This is what Wikipedia says:

“OK boomer” or “okay boomer” is a catchphrase and internet meme that has been used by members of the Millennial generation and Generation Z (born between the early 1980s and the early 2010s) to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers – people born in the two decades following World War II.

Who was it targeted at then?

Hey, at least it’s shining.

I would love to see that take place, so sign me up for the Church of the Boomest Shooter. My only real concern is where do we go from boomest?

No, you’re not. But I like you anyway.

Dammit! Upvoted with great begrudgement.

Oh, they’re definitely better, no question. But by that definition, wouldn’t that make them Boom Shooters?

I know, but just let me have my old man yells at cloud moment.

It feels like everybody, here are just a few examples. And if that doesn’t cut it for you, Steam has a whole-ass tag for boomer shooters.

Are action RPGs okay? If so, Ys: Oath in Felghana. It’s a remake of Ys III, which is also available on other platforms. However! The PSP version has features that other platforms do not, the main two being voice acting (other ports just have beeps when text is displayed) and a whole new mechanic, which is reminiscent of Final Fantasy’s Limit Breaks.

One potential caveat, though: this is probably the hardest entry in the series. Fights are hard, but never cheap. If you’re okay with that, you should have a good time.

Eeeeh, kinda? Gargoyles weren’t specifically VR users, though they were using VR. They also had computer parts strewn all over their body and if I recall correctly, they had cameras for surveillance, too.

With all the negative press this game has been getting, they might as well rename it to Suicide Squad Kill Rocksteady Studios.

Incorrect. Last I checked, theft is depriving the original owner of their product or service. When it comes down to it, piracy is essentially making an illegal copy, meaning the original is still there.
