Today we will discuss which games should win our award for "Best Shooter" and who should receive our "Gamers Are Dead" award for the worst piece of Gaming Journalism!
Once again, don't forget to leave videos of walk-throughs, useful reviews, and/or links to sale pages.
Here's a few contenders:
- Kotaku: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Fans Are Obsessed With A Yassified Water Starter Evolution (They want to fuck a pokemon)
- Kotaku: The Furries of GTA Online Just Want To Play, But Jerks Get In The Way (Furry GTA Clan advertisement)
- Kotaku: Report: Man behind Pelosi hammer attack was radicalized by Gamergate (Blaming you for the naked hammer-time attack that they do not want to talk about)
- Kotaku: Here's how to add U.S. Supreme Court justices to Minecraft for no reason at all (literally insinuating violence against SCOTUS)
- Kotkau: Stray Falls Into The Usual Orientalism Pitfalls Of The Cyberpunk Genre (The game where the protagonist is a cat and everyone is a robot is racist)
- Polygon: "GamesGames Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 setting has a problem with fascist fans. Alt-right partisans have tried to co-opt the hobby, using images of brutal despotism from its dystopian setting to further their cause."
And just as a reminder:
We're still right about Polygon: https://archive.vn/evgnA

I'd like to recommend Grounded for best shooter. Technically it is a first person survival builder with a melee focus but the gameplay is solid, the building and exploration are top notch, and it's just tons of fun. Also, not actively woke.
I'll also throw Deep Rock Galactic into the hat because it's still amazing though not really new. The seasonal content and new updates have made it continuously worth playing. Also, not woke.
It's been a lousy year for gaming in general. A few bright spots but I can't remember a year where we've had so many supposedly A-tier releases hit that ended up being complete garbage.
I haven't heard of it. Do you have any links to any playthroughs, and do you have any idea if it's being discounted right now?
One of many Grounded walkthrough examples. The feel of the game is very solid and satisfying like a lot of melee heavy first person games like Skyrim. It's made by Obsidian so this makes sense. There is a story but it's very creativity focused.
As for DRG, there are hundreds of videos and I'm not sure where I'd start you. The beginners guides aren't really indicative of higher level play and the mission variety and customization options aren't really done justice by anything that I saw on YouTube, but the game isn't exactly new either.
