    It’s about games that match what a boomer thinks of as an FPS.

    Can you give me an example?

    I can’t think of anything in the last three years that have massively changed what an FPS looks like.

      A game like Tarkov stands in drastic comparison to a game like Quake. Compare the weapon selection (many guns for one role vs distinct but limited) or gameplay loop (enter zone->loot->fight to extract vs spawn->kill->die)

      Quake, Battlefield 4, Rainbow 6 Siege, PUBG, and Tarkov are all FPS games but they’re drastically different in design.

        Duke Nukem is the quintessential boomer shooter.
