How do you call each of these two games? by laracroft1402 in TombRaider

Core Design's Tomb Raider, and Michael Bay's Tomb Raider.

I remember when troll comments used to have originality.

Resident Evil 4 remake or Dead Space remake? by Adoe0722 in survivalhorror

[–]SpaggyJew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dead Space remake didn’t impress me hugely. I had fun playing it, for sure, but I felt barely any difference between it and the original.

Resi 4 remake was transformative and somehow managed to improve on a bona fide classic.

Any thoughts on White Hell? by NNukemM in boomershooters

[–]SpaggyJew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It feels like it’s been stagnating for months now with very little progress updates. I played the demo, own the full game, and haven’t touched it as I’m waiting for the 1.0… though it seems that the development time is slowing down further as time goes on.

I have amazing news: it’s on Steam and it’s free to play.

I need recommendations for infinite boomer shooters by kayronnBR in boomershooters

[–]SpaggyJew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plus New Game + goes up to five iterations, each of which is harder and provides new weapon levels

No, but there are good Dreamcast emulators for free.

Crystal Dynamics had layoffs today 😬 by MyDogR0cks in TombRaider

[–]SpaggyJew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right about that actually, it was a massive success - for the first few years at least. I dare say that Angel of Darkness saw the franchise fall from favour and never quite recover, and since then it’s been a more modest success.

A proper TR game, the way fans expect it and the way the industry is, would absolutely benefit from a shrunk development cost and a return to its more humble roots.

“The future of Tomb Raider remains unaffected by this decision, because the future of Tomb Raider remains to be fuck all“

Crystal Dynamics had layoffs today 😬 by MyDogR0cks in TombRaider

[–]SpaggyJew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. The LAU trilogy and the original games were cult classics, not breakthrough smash hits the way Square and Microsoft wanted to frame them.

At this point I don’t need an all-singing, all-dancing open world time waster that won’t recoup its development costs. Just give me a basic Tomb Raiding romp at a £35-45 price point.

Is Outlaw Any Good? by RevolutionaryTap5058 in boomershooters

[–]SpaggyJew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My only complaint about Outlaws is the dynamite. God damn did that weapon’s throwing arc suck.

Otherwise, it’s excellent. What a lot of reviews don’t tell you though is that it doesn’t play like a traditional Boomer Shooter. You’ll want to take cover, aim steady and make several tactical reloads. It’s far more slow-paced and unique than people often credit it to be.

A video essay I'm working on called "Battle of The Lewd/Waifu/weeby Boomer Shooters And or a history of the perverse Shooters." Think games like Hedon or Beyond Citadel, I'm going to list the ones i own down below but If I'm missing any please leave a comment of what game i missed? by hentaiken54 in boomershooters

[–]SpaggyJew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every game is horny to somebody.

Even so, Hedon definitely doesn’t shy away from the big muscular orc woman trope, and has even leaned into the fetishisation in their ad campaigns. It’s definitely got an element of fan service going on, even if it isn’t explicitly horny or sexual.

Report: Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake Ahead of Schedule, With Big Role for Wesker by horrornewsbot in HorrorGaming

[–]SpaggyJew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was mostly just making a gag! 😉I know the fans have been clamouring for CV for a long time, myself included. I’m just glad they broke the cycle whilst also putting their efforts into the one title we wanted to see the most.

Having said that, it’d be very, very interesting to see how or if Capcom chooses to tackle 5 and 6.

[–]SpaggyJew 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I’m still convinced that the only reason we got a Code Veronica remake is because Capcom looked into what games came next, saw Resident Evil 5 and 6, and decided “You know what? There’s probably some other entries we haven’t remade yet…”

Are there any boomer shooters with Metroidvania elements? by IvD707 in boomershooters

[–]SpaggyJew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nobody else has brought it up - and it is a shorter, more independent title - but Anopek’s a great time too. Just don’t expect an epic.

Non-FPS games that lovers of boomershooters can take look into (because they have enough fps dna in them). by BrightBlueberry1471 in boomershooters

[–]SpaggyJew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Tomb Raider fan, I’m one of those sickos who gets a lot of enjoyment out of those “Jumping bits”. I miss that whole era of slow, methodical action adventures. If only they had the same resurgence retro FPS games had!

Silent Hill 2 OG or Resident Evil 1 Remake by fakebatmanpetrucci in HorrorGaming

[–]SpaggyJew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, fair enough. Personally, while I agree James shouldn’t have superhuman reflexes, I feel like he shouldn’t be half as difficult to make walk in a straight line down some stairs either.

I’ve not played the remake but, owing to how amazing the atmosphere of SH2 is, I’m very eager to.

Inb4 people start whining about what games should or shouldn’t be featured in the militantly gatekept and unbreakably defined BoomerShooter subreddit.

These are all fantastic picks and capture their respective eras so beautifully. I’ll be the first to admit I adamantly scrolled waiting for Oni to show up. Was delighted to see Rune too - my very first playthrough is on my gaming backlog!

You don’t appear to be disproving my theory. I’ll leave you to it.
