Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

I may join you. -adds you-

Ubisoft made me question my gaming again.

Either i'm interested in too many games...

...or i'm interested in none of them and I am unsure. :/

yeah they didn't really show anything I was too interested in but they showed some cool stuff

just accepted your friend request although I've been playing mostly ranked recently. fell back to C+ lol
 
It's 5-6 hours SP Campaign, personally I haven't finished it so I can't comment on how good it is - I've only done two of the areas. Very different from the multiplayer, but I bet people who are good at platforming would also be pretty good in the multi. The good thing about Splatoon is that movement plays into the game quite a lot. I would recommend you try Turf Wars after doing the SP, the multi is brilliant.

Don't get this game if you aren't going to play multiplayer.
The single player is ok. But it takes like 4~6 hours tops to do everything, and can be easily beaten in less than that.

The single player is really good, the levels remind me of Mario Galaxy a lot, but it's rather short, only 5 hours or so. Wouldn't mind getting a longer stand alone Splatoon single player game in the future.

Its okay for what it is but for $60? No, not at all. I'm not typically a multiplayer person either but I've been playing it a ton, its fun.

Thnaks to all of you!

I will read reviews and stuff, because for example I play online in Mario Kart but I relly spent my time in the single player content... I was expecting the same from Splatoon.

Yeah, that's me and gaming in a nutshell: Interested in too many games, but I know i'll barely touch them if I get them.


I don't know, I think I just feel I need to by many games to justify my console (or GFX card) purchase. But i'm trying to get out that habit!

And I might not play right now, but it's always nice to know I have people added if I want to sneak into their Turf Wars. :D
 
Hey, when I just jumped in the game there was no announcement from Callie and Marie. Was that some kind of bug or has it been turned off?

Edit: Never mind, it says I'm not connected to the internet :/
 
It takes a lot of work to get it inked, it's easy for the enemy to spot you jumping onto the path, and it's awkward to actually navigate corner paths.

Short vertical routes are efficient, repaintable, and easy to use. So we'll likely only ever see Spots 1 and 3 get used.

While I was looking at this in recon, I noticed for the first time that ninja squid doesn't work on walls. I feel like it should.
 
So I've come to the conclusion that the octarians
have so many weird varieties due to years of inbreeding after being stuck in those underground zones. Though there are a few normal ones left of course (octolings). Even they're leader is full on octopus. Whereas the surface dwelling inklings don't seem to have any genetic abnormalities whatsoever. The sunken scroll you get from level 16 shows an octarian before the Great Turf War. The difference between him and the inkling next to him is only in style of clothing and tentacle hair.

I think Cuttlefish is meant to be the young guy there and the guy with the celery is meant to be the final boss due to both having that celery.

Possible. Maybe
Octavio was just in octo form during the boss battle, never bothering to go into human form. But there's still gotta be a reason why all those messed up octarians exist. lol

EDIT
There's also gotta be a reason why Octavio seems so much younger than cuttlefish. Mutation?

he's a dj, so he's powered by energy drinks and pizazz

You know, I'm disappointed you never fight
a straight up giant octopus
 
That terrible feeling when you make a key mistake that loses your team the match in ranked :'(

On paper I had the best K/D by a large margin but I still know the truth ;_;
Seems we gave all our comm errors to you. Sorry. ;(
Funny enough I had a problem with the cabling at my house and had all kinds of network problems for a few weeks. Felt bad... how do you do it? :P
 
Have only got online to work one day (and it worked flawlessly). The other few days have been communication error after communication error or it just telling me I don't have an internet connection twenty seconds into a match. No internet problems with my PS4 or any other machine hooked to internet, what's the deal?

I mean,
the octolings look *just* like him when they're in squid-form. My guess is inbreeding, there are purbreeds like him but most are gross tentacle guys. You never see cuttlefish as a squid, so he could look just as young in that form, and DJ would also look like an old man?
 
Just had an epic ranked match in the mall. I went around the alleys to get into enemy territory and kill the sniper, right? On my way there across the grating, an enemy shoots me from behind. Without skipping a beat, I turned into a squid and fell through the grating into the floor before—turning around as I fell.

I shot him from there as he attempted to confront me and killed him. Then I went up and killed the sniper, who was unaware to all that action behind him.

Haha.
 
There are some Japanese players online who are really good at Burst Bombs. Regular Splattershot users too.

Had one player just camp the sniper hallway in Urchin Underpass the entire time. If you go into their hallway, they just back up and throw bombs forever. If you leave them alone, they just poke out and throw bombs forever. They didn't even seem to be doing anything with their tactical advantage... It was just go back and forth between spots while we respawn forever... We were able to win both games, mostly out of sheer attrition, but man was that a lot of burst bombs. I'm honestly not sure how they were able to keep it up for so long.
 
Is there a way to change the main gear ability on gear? I have the Amiibo gear, but the main ability is shit so I would never use it :(

I love Burst Bombs, but I've been pretty poor at using them these past few days. =/

I've been experimenting with the E-Liter lately but I rarely use the bombs, just not my thing even though you can get a splat with one direct and one indirect hit with them

I'm waiting for the new E-Liter with a different sub/special weapon loadout, not much of a fan of the current one

I came here to post this. The regular communication errors aren't so bad, the ones when searching for a game. It happens but not that often and its easy to search another game. Sometimes though, maybe once or twice per session, the game all of a sudden decides I don't have an internet connection. Any other device works, and when I played Smash and Mario Kart before Splatoon came out it never happened. But with Splatoon for some reason it doesn't see my router even though it was working fine before that. Restarting the console fixes it usually.

I've read other posts on GAF with similar issues. Is there enough evidence to say this only happens with Splatoon or could it be faulty Wii U's?
 
take this with a HUGE grain of salt

I have never had a single problem with Mario Kart 8 online so I doubt it is a console problem (better not be, anyway).

This better not persist because I really want to get in some matches. Luckily the single-player is great, otherwise I would be even more pissed.
 
Saw it earlier on Twitter and thought fake immediately, but Jesus I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the shirt is absolute fire.

I need it. :lol
 
These trucks are bs. Their only purpose is to redirect you into enemy Wails. Should that fail, an enemy roller will squish you.
I got use to this map on ranked and I didn't understand why they have the trucks there. I still don't.

Damn you blue.

You and that sniper... ugg lol like running into a wall.
