Maybe shooters aren't? I'm not into it and i still find the "just one more hour" games pretty much as regularily as ever (except the 2017-2019 which were really fucking dark age if you weren't into button mashing or platform jumping)
Shooters definitely aren't. I'm a dyed in the plaid Unreal and Quake head; and... There ain't shit for us anymore. I don't have words for how much contempt I have for the pvp FPS space between the Pentagon propagandizing on one side, the lackluster live services on the other, and battle royales at the very center. Like... XIV and Minecraft used to be my 'there's no good matches right now' backup games. Now they're my mains.
UTRAKILL has that fast quake combat and OP weapons, it's only singleplayer
Yeaaaaah, I've got like half of Ultrakill prime-ranked by now; the only reason its lack of pvp isn't a detriment is because I don't wish netcode development on any solo developer. I've seen what that stuff looks like; and I don't blame Hakita in the slightest for not.
