I just used my amiibo on my console to unlock the DLC. It's not giving out costumes for my friend sitting next to me. Is it a one and done?
 
Ok a few matches into my Splatoon career..

I like the game a ton.. BUT a couple things I know I have to do.

1) Order a pro controller .. ( Just did , splatoon version through best buy)

2) Keep this in the doc. Maybe I am just used to online shooters on the TV but I am having a hard time keeping up.

3) Get good.. screw you Splatoon vets.. when I get the hang of it I will destroy you.

4) Only wanted to use the app for stats... it does that well, info is reported instantly.

5) Do not tell anyone but this is the first game I have played on my switch (played a ton of them) that will make me want to play..
 
Why can't I select "The Square" on the main menu? I've talked to both dudes and it's still greyed out.

I like this game a lot but man it doesn't explain some stuff very well or at all.

EDIT: Should I be always buying new gear and using it so it levels up? If I don't want any of the abilities I can just that as a way to get lots of ability shards, yeah?
 
I can't tell if people are quitting or disconnecting due to the poor wi-fi in the switch, but it feels like it's more rare for a match to finish 4v4 than it does 3v4 or even 2v4.
 
Alright. The release day hype got to me. Never played the first but figure I'll give the sequel a go since there isn't much else to play on the Swtich right now. 3 minute matches sound great. Hope I enjoy it.
 
I love Salmon Run, but I really can't stand beeing handed the Splat Charger. It doesn't have the range I want to comfortably sit back and snipe, and it's too slow up close. When things start getting hot, I'd rather have the other three weapons.

Still, the mode is pretty fun and I hope it will get more maps down the line.
 
Ooh. Erm. No split screen support eh? Huh, that's strange coming from Nintendo.

Yeah i was going to ask just to make sure- but it appears there is no way for me and my daughter to play with each other, barring me buying her a Switch?
 
I'm 12 wins vs 18 losses.

Smfh... I'm always on the side where I have a teammate who disconnects, rage quits, and even just stays at home base without moving the whole match. Then there's the bunch who doesn't ink the stage and tries to take on the opposing team Call of Duty style.


I'm going to try Salmon run or single player.
 
About an hour in and have gotten 3 disconnections and now I got the warning message about quitting which is really annoying.

My internet is fine dammit don't pin this on me!
 
To be fair, they were down a person. But as a Splatoon 1 veteran, I'm kicking ass and taking names early on, lol.

What about style? :D +3000

Lots a complaints about quitters/uneven teams. It has to be launch day problems since the game gives temp bans for quitting right?


What about the guys who sits at home base the entire match and ends the match with 0 points? Maybe you're right maybe I'm dealing with idiots. My record makes me feel like a noob and I'm no noob. I hate losing.
 
Time for a small break after 5 or so hours playin the campaign only the final boss left....

It has been fuckin amazing so far the levels are longer the weapon variety is good and i had tons of fun way more than Splatoons 1 campaign imo.

What an awesome ride that was.... After this break it's showtime!

P.S. Marie still is awesome:P
 
Like many of you.. getting stuck on the team with a quitter or bad player is killing me. Is there a thread for Gaf people to add to friends list?

Edit: Found the Discord info
 
Story mode spoilers for section 4 (mechanics, not plot)
There's a level that lets you try out the Brella, and it is AWESOME.

Yeah, the Brella is a really cool weapon though it's a bizarre take on a simple Shot Gun. It would be a real shame if couldn't take it into other levels to experiment with it more but you can so it's great.

I notice when a team loses, they lose big time. I've experienced few close matches so far. It's usually an assbeating and during the respawn I feel like I'm only seeing three characters at times. I wouldn't be surprised if people are quitting during a match.
 
Sloshers are gonna wreck so many newcomers to the series. I remember it took awhile for people to learn how to deal with Sloshers in the original when it was updated into the game.
They're pretty tricky to deal with cause the range is incredibly deceptive, it shoots moderately fast and they hit like a truck. Plus Suction Bombs help for baiting/luring opponents into a trap. Such a great weapon!

It's the first day of the game so it will take some weeks before elo is correctly balanced and skilled players are in the higher ranks. Old Splatoon players are essentially smurfing now.
 
Hey, fresh gaf, how are you doing in zwei land? Anybody got the hang of gyro yet? No wrist injuries yet? ; )

I'm getting zwei next month as I used up my monthlies on bj and hookers, so I'll be splatting vets in eins till then.
 
Love splatoon to death. MP is great. The SP was pretty lackluster and the finale music was kinda lame. Also I still cannot believe we don't have a "back out" of the lobby option. It's 2017 and I have to close my game and relaunch it because I get stuck in a bad lobby that won't find new players. And give us an option to skip the daily news intro. I've seen it too many times already.
