Just like in RPGs-one of the two genres fundamental to this hybrid-the focus of these games is character progression, though whereas having a skill tree or level system is not necessarily required in a looter-shooter, equipment that continuously bolsters your character is.īoth of these qualities would go on to become hallmarks of looter-shooters and provide the sub-genre with a longevity matched only by MMOs, or massive multiplayer online games. In addition, looter-shooters have a tendency to strive for longevity, with the randomness of its loot drops and on-going content provided via expansions, season passes, and more, keeping players engaged. Looter-shooters, also referred to simply as “shlooters,” is a sub-genre of video games defined by its inclusion of procedurally generated weapons and equipment, fast-paced gunplay, and the grind to get said procedurally generated weapons in order to have the absolute best fast-paced gunplay. And in that sense, I cannot help but be reminded of one of the newest and most successful genres in video games: the looter-shooter.
Success is not random, but rather a grind, with the hope that the end result leaves you better. It is created through equal parts innovation and imitation, through careful observation and meticulous work.
#THE LOOTER MARVEL TRIAL#
Success is born out of trial and error-out of blood, sweat, and tears. It’s not spontaneous or unfounded, and it’s not a matter of sheer luck.
