This has been done over and over again to entice boomer parents to get their kids to stop playing video games. My parents didn’t let me buy any shooter games other than jet force gemini becuase they thought it was a exploration game…
Especially in the era before just looking shit up on the internet when you hit a snag. I remember scouring levels in that looking for a path that I’d missed when I couldn’t figure out where I was supposed to go next.
Definitely a highlight of the N64 for me. It’s up there with the Zeldas in my book.
It’s rock music. It’s “reefer madness”. Then it’s metal music with satanic messaging when played backwards. Now it’s video games. Same old blame game while never tackling the actual problems of lack of psych care, real societal pressures like financial difficulties, and more.
Boomers’ children are grown ass adults with their own kids now. Those parents are the ones who grew up playing games. This dumbass narrative doesn’t play anymore

At least you landed on solid gold! Jet Force Gemini was the single best shooter for the N64. Far superior to Golden Eye. Yes, I’ll die on this hill.
It was actually a really hard game. I never beat it, i sold my N64 anyways as i needed the cash.

I mean aside from LSD being introduced by the CIA into the public, everything else the government tries to blame someone else.

I’m talking about boomer parents. In respects to the millennial parents, of course they are laughing at this shit (or I would hope so)
Boomers are the parents of Gen X kids.
What you’re saying doesn’t make any sense.
my parents are boomers and im a millennial (90)
That’s cool. Playing the outlier game could go on all day, but it’s obviously not the norm.
Ok. Maybe it was just me then, but growing up in the 90s there was a push for “video games bad they are violent”
Yea. They’ve been doing it since the 70’s, and are still doing it now by trying to say Among Us made Luigi violent.
That doesn’t have anything to do with the millennial or gen z generations. The first “video game generation” was X.
Silent> Greatest> Boomer> X> Millennial> Z
