Splatoon |OT2| Prepare to Dye

On close range. Sounds like a optimised shotgun. Merciless on close range but low DMG in range.

I've been wanting a shotgun type weapon but the rollers are too slow imo, looking forward to this new gun to see how it does. Not really a fan of the sub/special but we'll see.
 
it's not like I really need the Kraken to become invulnerable
>
I like Japanese names because I generally have a very good feel for how much they'll lag since there's a small amount of lag with them but it's pretty consistent overall.

With English names it's a fucking crapshoot.
 
Just rage quit my first ranked match. Had an Inkzooka and started to shoot, charger teammate shows up and stands in front of me, and then another teammate shows up and starts bunny hopping and shooting in front of me.

C-rank is rough. While there are good games to be had more often than not there's no rhyme or reason to what's going on. Got to "B" and while the teams switch up, you win some/lose some at least it makes sense. Just have to grind through.
 
Is anyone playing or has everyone's interest in gaming been killed now

I played through E3. Remakes, sequels, spin offs, and kickstarters don't really excite me. Was an okay, E3 but nothing mind blowing IMO. Plus with everyone else distracted I've been having a good win streak.
 
Just get yourself an adapter thingy and use it on your PC. You get a ridiculous 80 hours life out of the battery. :Oo

Wait, can I just get any bluetooth adaptor for it?

Also, I'll use it for other stuff when I eventually get other stuff for the WiiU.

I think this whole E3 Hype and criticism has turned me off video games quite a bit.


Life was much better and happier before E3 because people didn't butt heads as much or whine about games we barely know much about.

Haha. It is abit depressing after that Direct :(

I'm pretty sure there's not going to be any dlc after the free stuff for this. All support will be pulled for nx, it's already heading that way. It's not even a bad move.
 
Damn not playing this game for a few days was a mistake, I'm so rusty
Edit: Damn Japanese lag rollers don't want to show up on my echolocater now apparently
 
Lovely Planet and Soul Axiom NEED Gyro controls.

I'm going to actively ignore any game with shooting mechanics on the Wii U because I know my brain can't handle it. I've already been playing something on my Vita and I started tilting it around when I had to aim.

Yeah I haven't played it in a bit and when you go back it's tough.

Reminds me of when I used to take a few days off Counter-Strike when I used to play it a lot. Feels like you haven't played it in a year after 2 days off.

I was in B rank. Then I took an arrow the knee. Or the rest of my teams did.

Now I am stuck in C rank and I basically go .500 or just under, and I never make any progress.

If it were un-ranked, I could understand the see-sawing. But this is stupid. One match I get 12 kills and 3 splats. The next, I go 1 for 2, and my team never has control.

I'm just going to start lagging out my connection with background downloads as I suspect a lot of other players are doing.

Final grip, I dig the motion controls, but the sticky recticle can't keep up. It lets me down more often than my team.
 
I'll jump into the game a bit more tomorrow after the new weapons come out and after this whole E3 thing has simmered down. It feels hard to co-ordinate things right now, tensions are high and such.
 
Beakon is the good part though

Who the fuck wants kraken on an e liter?
Beakon actually doesn't make that much sense to me. Chargers tend to hold back and be in safe spots anyway. If they move up they usually do so because they can get to an additional vantage point that they can safely attack from. Why not just jump to the Charger? Where exactly should the Charger be putting the Beakons?

The Custom E-Liter 3K is all sorts of odd. The regular E-Liter 3K already has poor charge rate and doesn't spread ink so well, but at least it has Burst Bombs to ink with. Custom E-Liter 3K is going to ink very slowly unless it lands kills in enemy territory often.

In theory it might work as a panic button if a ninja squid closes in on you.


Oh good, I thought it was just me. I think that was contributing to my 1W11L run yesterday. I was using lots of echolocator weapons and kept getting blindslided.
Maybe they are using Cold-Blooded? Cold-Blooded is supposed to reduce the amount of time you are revealed to Point Sensors or Echolocator.
 
Also as annoyed as I can get with this game sometimes I love seeing people in the inkopolis plaza who are like level 4 or 5 making enthusiastic posts about splatoon. It's cute

Also reiterating how much I love this. Right now there are two level 2 inklings in my plaza excited about splatfest
 
Thought you loved those burst bombs.

I thought I typed a coherent sentence. =P The Custom E-Liter has beacons and the Kraken, both of which I'm not a fan of, particularly the Kraken. I can see the usefulness of the beacons, but Kraken? Eh. And besides, I really do love my bombs. That includes every type of bomb. =D
 
They really should have announced something for this game today. It's been such a surprise hit for Nintendo and needs to get nurtured now more than ever. An announcement of a big DLC release coming in the Fall would have been really nice at this point.

Still gonna hop on later once the Treehouse stuff is done.
 
Hooray, took almost a year, but finally became a full-fledged member here. Thanks SplatGAF for giving me something fun to rattle off posts about.

I hope the splatGAF community doesn't die off, since E3 started its been pretty quiet here

Honestly, after the Direct, I was just kinda, "At least I still have Splatoon." I don't need to deal with the underwhelming 2016 schedule yet, I can keep playing Splatoon.

(Using Splatoon as a happy drug might be a dangerous thing.)

It hasn't turned me off games just gaming culture. Watching people's reaction has become more sad than funny.

I plan to keep playing games through E3 and try to read the news without the reactions or spin.
 
How exactly do they determine junior vs regular member? I remember noticing that I was a full member like a month or two after joining
