video game violence, injury mention, blood mention

I want more singleplayer shooters with really in-depth medical systems like #HideousDestructor. it’s so cool to have that gritty action movie moment at the end of the battle where you treat your wounds like John Wick and then you’re walking around with staples that might pop out and cause more bleeding if you run too fast

also I want more excuses to say “ain’t got time to bleed!” and pop a stimpack before rushing into battle, leaving a trail of blood behind me

#HideousDestructor should have been a genre-defining mod and I can’t believe people are still saying in 2025 “shooters are so oversaturated” and “there’s no room to innovate with shooters” while completely ignoring this masterwork of a game

there might be no room to innovate with multiplayer PvP SBMM hypersweaty competitive shooters, and those are extremely oversaturated, but don’t conflate that with all shooters ever (indie pixel art boomer shooters are oversaturated too but also I wish more of them would take after Doom 1 and 2 more in their design instead of trying to be as “fast-paced” as possible :/)

I’m not even sure if AAA interactive movie shooters could be considered oversaturated, though I am extremely not the target audience for interactive movie games

@kasdeya either way we would call most of them "uninspired" tbh

@tempest yeah omg that’s very fair. I probably can’t evaluate them fairly because I see linear non-environmental storytelling as a frustrating distraction in games 95% of the time lol. but that’s the impression that I get too
