Why Do So Many Looter Shooter Games Have The Same Problems? - TNSS #80

<p>Welcome back to The Nerd Stash Show!</p> <p>With the recent backlash involving Marvel’s Avengers and Destiny 2, we wanted to have a larger conversation about the looter shooter genre. Why do so many games in the genre seem to fall flat? Are people starting to get tired of the genre, entirely? We (try to) tackle all those questions and more in this episode.</p> <p>Also on the show, we share our reactions to EA finally revealing Battlefield 2042’s Hazard Zone, potential details on Obsidian’s Avowed, and some Back 4 Blood reviews along with our first impressions of the game. </p> <p>As always, you can check out timestamps for every major topic down below.
