Boomers my ass. This is Gen X gaming.

Millennials as well. I get bored with modern games. Grinding all day for a pink weapon skin. Tf, I don't care what color are my skins. Give me a good old challenge

I mean it is a nice extra, if and only if the core gameplay is enjoyable. Porbably most triple AAA titles would be fine with all the secondary stuff, if they whould have just put a little more effort into making a fun game first and foremost and then add the other stuff afterwards.

But of course adding loot boxes to a fun game is a different process than designing a loot box ecosystem and then trying to fit a game into it.

I'm a Millenial and I was the target audience age when CS released.

If you aren't doing it already, I strongly encourage you to undertake an aggressive workout routine, including lots of stretching.

I don’t think this is even Gen-X. Certainly this Gen-Xer grew up on Atari with very obvious 8bit and even text based games. I don’t recognize this one and we had few or no first person shooters

My “complex world” game was the computer texting to me “you have entered a maze of twisty passages, all alike”

I don’t know what the tail end of the Xers played, so maybe.

I had to look it up, but the last of the Xers were born in 1980. This looks like a 2000’s game, so they would have been adults

It’s Counter-Strike 1.6, which is from the late 90s.

Lol

Me: Hey Dad, wanna play Counterstrike?

Dad: Hell no, we just had that tile installed. What's wrong with you?

Yup early millennials too. That game was my go to for most of 2000.
