I'm downloading now.

Single player or multiplayer first? Hmm.

 

[TheMoon]

God, think outside the box even just a tad! 4 player split screen, a small map would be in the middle of the screen. It doesn't have to be exact to know where an area is being covered. Its two basic colours.

All I'm reading is excuses.

All I'm reading is you not understanding what I'm saying. None of that had anything to do with a map. That's the final sentence there in that post specifically.

 

[fantomena]

Nintendo, I love Splatoon so far, it's one of the freshest and most entertaining multiplayer shooters Ive played in a while.

BUT PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF MY BRAIN AND EYES MAKE THE NEWSCASTER SEGMENT SKIPPABLE IT'S HURTING ME.

 

[twothunder]

Yessss. First Mad Max avoids bombing and now this.

I'm glad to see Splatoon seems to be doing very well.
Especially after Wonderful 101 and Codename S.T.E.A.M flopping.

 

[Revolutionary]

yes they do. 2 primaries (like having the same on a hat and shoes) are more effective than a primary and a secondary togetther. Because the secondaries seem less effective

Oh I wasn't aware that they were less effective. That's disappointing.

 

[Rebel Leader]

My first 15 battles in a row with #1 slot in all 15

 

[SmithnCo]

Changing stages.

 

[PadWarrior]

Out of work in 43 mins

 

[Fantastical]

This is dumb but how do you change weapons? All I have is Splattershot Jr.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Staaay freeeesh!

 

[twothunder]

Had quite some trouble getting the inkling Girl and Boy Amiibo.
Store I ordered them from didn't get them. And probably wouldn't get them.
Found one other store that still had them.
I got the last ones

As soon as I got home. Played Splatoon for several hours. Still love it.
It just keeps you playing. Been a while since a game did that for me.

 

[BlueSilver]

All with the Jr., right? =P

 

[Zing]

They interrupt matches in progress?

Sounds weird.

No, they don't. They make announcement after match ends.

 

[daydream]

No, they don't. They make announcement after match ends.

oh yeah, my bad

didn't mean to imply that they break up a match, just the lobby

 

[BlueSilver]

Go to the plaza, then go to the weapon shop. Or did I not understand the question?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

for sure, but spillt milk and all that jazz

You never know though. With as much as they're updating the game over the next couple months, if people talk enough they might get some of these options.

 

[Sendou]

I just love the banter between Callie and Marie. Such a great pair of characters.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I just get got Splatoon, love.

 

[Ricky 7]

In that news report they say Judd is awfully clumsy for a cat but isn't he the only cat on the planet?

 

[Lucifon]

No new clothes today? I thought they refreshed at midnight?

 

[Azure J]

They're a really charming duo.

yeah my comments are pretty much limited to the OT

 

[Sakura]

No new clothes today? I thought they refreshed at midnight?

You're probably not cool enough.

 

[NotLiquid]

No, they don't. They make announcement after match ends.

Ah okay. Yeah that makes more sense. I don't have a lot of super major issues with the newscast and I kind of like the banter but if it cut into the middle of the match that'd be really bad.

Hopefully custom matchmaking lobbies won't have them be in the way of assembling people since you're not reliant on being locked to maps.

It's 6 PM. I only got like three hours of sleep and am pretty tired. I feel like if I start Splatoon now I won't be 100% and enjoy it fully. If I get some sleep now I'll just further mess up my sleep pattern. I may surprisingly just watch a movie.

 

[Mocha Nova Coffee Scotia]

How is the single player so far for anyone who has put much time in? Is it worth taking a break from multi?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

I'm loving charger so far. It's not very effective for painting but it's great for defending spots.

 

[Simbabbad]

I think people should be able to complain about whatever they want about the game, considering they spent money on it.

Should someone who bought a hammer complain it's terrible as a shovel?

Same actually. I went to bed a little late last night even though I got up early to pick up the game and I don't think I got enough rest amid everything else I did today.

Might just call it a night... but even though I'm a bit strained I'm still having fun. I feel like tomorrow is when the real action begins.

Lol

Go outside and sprint for 5-10 seconds everytime you feel tired. Dump anything and everything on places where you would go to sleep to discourage you from layimg down.

 

[jmizzal]

If I change my character from a boy to girl will it reset my stats?

 

[Mr-Joker]

Hmm I am still not feeling the game as it isn't leaving a smile on my face, like The Wonderful 101 did.

What am I doing wrong?

 

[BlueSilver]

What scores do you usually get?

 

[phanphare]

haha

 

[Lucifon]

Seen a level 8 in the plaza with 2 star equipment, I'm level 10 and no option to buy any 2 start stuff. How do you get it?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I think people should be able to complain about whatever they want about the game, considering they spent money on it. Just because the developers made a design decision doesn't mean every single person playing it has to like those decisions.

You have to deal with their vision though.

It's a fine line between listening to fan's feedback and letting them design your game.

No developer should succumb to the latter.

You can say whatever you want though obviously.

 

[BlueSilver]

It shouldn't.

 

[Ferrio]

Ordering it from other players?

You're either with us, or against us. No complaining. *Nintendo Fan Motto

[TheOohChild]

I resisted the controls at first, but the dual sticks felt way worse. I switched back and it still feels a bit wonky at times, but I am really enjoying how this game controls. Great game so far

 

[CO_Andy]

Is there a GAF lobby?

 

[Oidisco]

It took some time, but I'm now a full in the gyro-controls.

 

[MrPanic]

Been playing this game for 11 hours straight, break time. XD

 

[EndlessSky]

So do all the slopes in the skate park count as ground and contribute to your team's score unlike walls?

Seems a learning curve but if you can finally get it, they are undoubtedly better.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

700-800 without bonus.

 

[Zalman]

This game is too much fun. I played for like 8 hours today.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Very good question.

My guess would be "yes" because they are attached and a continuation to/of the ground.

Yes.
