Where is GoldenEye?
Besmerch my Fallout! How dare you! Good DAY sir!
It's only slop if it's bad. Otherwise it's core. In this case, Grampcore.
Thanks for the game recommendations. Can't wait to try them out!
Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!
What "slop"? Stop using "slop" for everything now. Fucking kid.
As soon as people started calling staples of the FPS genre "boomer shooters," I knew it was over.
That never made sense to me, since Boomers by and large weren't the ones playing games then.
Boomer is shorthand for "old". Accuracy is not a requirement for a snappy genre title.
I guess it irks me because us Gen Xers were the first ones who really started playing video games, damn it! XD
Oh I thought it was because stuff goes boom 😔
Is it called a "boomer shooter" because it has exploding barrels (or other things) you can shoot?
No, it's because they are styled like old fps like doom or hertic
-Slop?
The distance between a new term’s invention, its ironic use, to it then being abused is getting shorter and shorter.
If these games were cars you could register them as classics in California. If you played any of them on release, you should probably stand up and stretch after you read this comment
I remember playing the shareware OG doom after my not-uncle installed it on the family computer back in '94.
Yes, I'm basically dead now.
I find it amusing that the old meme dude looks like Heihachi from Tekken 2, one of their examples of "slop".
I ain't see no Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or Red Alert 2.
Sorry but "slop" has been reserved for AI-relater insults only and I will not accept any dilution of that.

Ow, my back and my feelings
It's fine. 40 is the new 30, 30 is the new 20, and this kind of youthful confusion about time and aging is exactly what I'd expect from a 10 year old, so it tracks.
Age of Empires II shouldn't be on this list, unless it's exclusively talking about the old CD version.
lmao this takes me back to the olden days of bait when you could just call something shit and people would argue.

This contextless superficial review of classics denies the groundbreaking gameplay, art styles, storytelling, and direction that these games contributed to the artistic medium that is video games.
Like saying that The Godfather sucks becuase it is derivative and stuck in the time that it was created.
Alright I'm done yelling at clouds.
This is so fucking stupid. If you substitute movies or books for the images it would just seem stupid.
It's weird video games get this strange space of "old".
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
Are they just mad that the best year in gaming was 1998. Games back then can still be played today they don't need a always online servers that will get shutdown. Every multiplayer game came with a free dedicated server and you could vote kick the cheaters or just people being assholes. Mods were everywhere and encouraged by the devs not lawsuits. Most games didn't come with with a rootkit pretending to be DRM.

I love my gramp games :(
2004 was 10 years ago right? Please?
I wasnt even born in 2004 and I will technically be able to legally adopt children in a few months
- The 90s was about 10 years ago.
- 2005 was about 10 years ago.
- The 2010s was about 10 years ago.
I don't know why and I know it doesn't make sense, but apparently everything feels like it was about 10 years ago to my millennial brain.
Except 2020, that was like last year.
