DOOM 2016 is the only good boomer shooter
you historically, culturally and figuratively CANNOT refute this.

Finally playing through Ion Fury for the first time, it's pretty good but I wish the explosives had some real power to them. The grenade launcher especially is disappointing when compared to explosives from classic build engine games, especially Shadow Warrior's grenade launcher.
Julian Hill
Ion Fury has probably the best levels out of all Build Engine games, but there's just a pussy-ass-ness to it. Protagonist is shit with shit one liners, gameplay/gunplay is not that rewarding. Also I wish so many enemies weren't robots, it's far more satisfying to shoot flesh and blood enemies to me
Hunter Cooper
Do not call it boomer shooter!!
Sounds retarded

I played the demo of 2 games whose names I forgot, they were fun and I want to play them but they are stuck in development hell for years now.
Fucking hate this shit, why let me play a demo and show sick trailers when you can't be arsed to finish this shit within a year or two?

One of them was Gloomwood, the other was WRATH I think.
Anyways, I added both to my wishlist fucking 2020 and now I don't really care about them.
Good job, might pirate once they come out you fucking faggot devs.

I have no idea who any of those people you just rambled off even are.

>went on a boomer shooter kick a couple of years ago
>played DUSK, Amid Evil, and Ion Fury and loved all of them
>see WRATH and Graven, pick up both of them
>2 years later and both are just completely dead early access games
>WRATH thinks it's acceptable to do an "dev blog" every 2 weeks to say what they've been working on, and every single fucking time it's barely anything, this has been the case for a year and a half
>Graven is just a fucking mess, the only good part of the game is the visuals, the actual gameplay is complete shit in every way, and the devs have basically gone silent and no meaningful content has been added in forever
this is the only time I have fallen for the early access meme, and it's going to be the last time

Sorry for your loss user, I also had these games on my wishlist.
Thanks to you, I now decided to delete every single game from my wishlist that is EA or "coming soon" because fuck you, you dumb faggots, call me when it's done.
I will never put anything EA on my wishlist ever again.

>he bought early access games
