We were calling them Doom-likes before FPS became a thing, maybe it's time to bring it back as a sub category.
Doom clones!
Appending "-like" to any genre is so unoriginal and uninteresting.
It isn't intended to be interesting
That's abundantly clear.
The burn you think you are deploying, to a casual categorical label and those who use it, is not very effective.
It's an observation, not a "burn".
If you observed it to be abundantly clear you wouldn't have made your original comment.
Speak for yourself. I comment on obvious things all the time.
Not a bad idea, but like which DOOM?
I ask that sarcastically, but 90โs DOOM, 00โs DOOM, and 10-20s DOOM all play very differently lol
Any of them would be more accurate than Boomer shooter.
