It’s likely more than half of adults in the US play video games. About 40% of those play some kind of shooter. There are 258 million adults in the US. That’s ~129 million gamers, and ~51 million “shooters”.
Out of 51 million, they think they can link one to a game and condemn the genre?
Whatever. Try again. The only people that think so are the pearl-clutchers and the press.
This has been done over and over again to entice boomer parents to get their kids to stop playing video games. My parents didn't let me buy any shooter games other than jet force gemini becuase they thought it was a exploration game...
At least you landed on solid gold! Jet Force Gemini was the single best shooter for the N64. Far superior to Golden Eye. Yes, I'll die on this hill.
It was actually a really hard game. I never beat it, i sold my N64 anyways as i needed the cash.
Especially in the era before just looking shit up on the internet when you hit a snag. I remember scouring levels in that looking for a path that I'd missed when I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to go next.
Definitely a highlight of the N64 for me. It's up there with the Zeldas in my book.
beating majoras mask was the best thing ever.
...in an it was the worst thing ever kind of way - cuz that meant it was over Q_Q
yeah...true
