No issues for me so far. Minus the addiction.

 

[Woffls]

Hmph, I can't sign in now. Getting 106-0112. Tried re-opening Splatoon, will reboot now.

 

[reggieandTFE]

Rollers are so easy to kill

Really? I played for a half hour with a roller, won 4/5 matches and scored the most points on my team 4/5 times with a roller. Maybe because it was the warehouse with it's tighter environs? The only match I lost was the one that was outside.

I enjoyed it, think it's looks great, controls well and just feels right. I'm not sure if I'm going to get it because...4 person teams just feels too small for a mostly multiplayer game. It should really be 6 a side.

 

[Zombegoast]

A lot of disconnection today

 

[Tuck]

A good chunk of the mechanics are built around the GamePad.

"Good Chunk" = Two?

 

[Mike Double U]

44% to 44.4%!!!!!

Spoiler

We lost.

 

[sonto340]

Has any other console's primary controller gotten this much bitching? Like even the original Xbox's giant piece of shit, I don't remember people downright refusing to play games because of it. But I see it all the time on GAF: "Ugh, you have to use the Gamepad? Pass."

The Gamepad is a perfectly fine fucking controller.

I prefer the gamepad. I like to feel like the controller has weight instead of feeling like it might fall apart in my hands. My xbone and PS3 controllers feel downright fragile after a long Wii U session.

 

[Revven]

I swear the OT is going to need a section explicitly detailing where and how to turn off gyro aiming, every other page has someone asking about it lmao.

 

[Isomac]

Nice, I actually got this to work now. Gyro aiming seems better than I though. I mean it already feels better than analog aiming. I think I'll get this at launch!

 

[Maxrunner]

So some people like gyro but others don't why????

 

[SalvaPot]

Holy shit I just stole that last game, went full rambo and got 3 kills in the last 10 seconds with the granades frenzy, winning the match by 2%

 

[Octavianus]

The gyro aiming sucks ass. I don't mind the gamepad, but can you switch to normal right stick aiming?

get good

 

[EndlessSky]

If you lower the sensitivity. gyro aiming is A LOT better

 

[Deleted member 125677]

This is very convincing! Keeping my preorder

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

yes, during weapon select

Sweet.

Thanks, friend.

 

[Cody_D165]

precision vs comfort

btw this game is godlike and I'm putting my order down today

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

The best thing about using the Roller is that it's the best at covering up spots while fights are happening elsewhere.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

44% to 44.4%!!!!!

We lost.

 

[Nibel]

This is legit.

 

[jediyoshi]

Damn, gyro does indeed suck :/

It's a better scheme for the charger than stick aiming, overkill otherwise.

 

[Kodaman]

So some people like gyro but others don't why????

people like different things... both are right

 

[Loco4Coco]

the demo is live again?

 

[RedFyn]

Anyone know if in the actual game you'll be able to change your loadout in the lobby in between matches?

Yes you can. Im assuming they just chose not to have a lobby system in the demo so that you get into games quicker.

 

[Like the hat?]

Fav weapon: splattershot jr
Fav map: the rig

 

[Razmos]

Has anyone had a tie yet? is that even possible?

 

[L95]

I like the gyro, but I really need to get used to it.

 

[Neoxon]

Barely won, & I was the MVP.

 

[Isomac]

So some people like gyro but others don't why????

I like how it's easier to make smaller movements with it but also fast quick ones. Analog aiming has always been all over the place for me.

maybe for you, but not for me. it's almost like people have different preferences. weird. it's too god damn wide to be comfortable.

 

[_woLf]

Game is fun, but I don't know if it's $60 fun. I'd pick this up in a heartbeat if it was $40, probably even $50.

Even if there is more game modes, there needs to be some kind of long term goal...

 

[Paulie_C]

Tried it for half a hour. Seems fun but I suck badly at it. I normally suck at online deathmatches but I got my ass handed to me worse than any game I can remember.

Pity theres no local multiplayer as this wouldve been fun with the family. Will wait to see how the single player holds up because I wont have fun losing so bad online.

 

[commanderpepper]

Played for 40 minutes today and I got my first unstable connection problem. Too bad I was having fun too.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Sniper is bloody terrible
But they gyro controls are indeed amazing

 

[Anteo]

the sniper is cool, really accurate and easy to aim with gyro

 

[Jintor]

Holy shit some guy got 0 points with 2 kills and 3 deaths! How is that even possible

 

[Juni_]

Can't really get into the gyro control right now, maybe in the full game I can put more practice with it.

Is it $60 over there? Over here, it's £30 and even then can be found for £25.

The single player component? The unlocks? They've already broken down the bunch of modes they've planned post launch.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

Snipe dem enemy rollers while your team paints turf with their own rollers

I can't hit anyone. Maybe it's just me (but I'm generally pretty bad at shooters).

Yeah, that's where I kinda am right now.

Splatoon |OT| Gyro may or may not be terrible, Roller may or may not be OP*

I picked it up for ~£22 I think. Can't you find it cheaper somewhere?

 

[MouldyK]

3 Rollers and 1 Slattershot VS 1 Roller and 3 Splattershot?

40% and 50%


Not OP!

 

[sonto340]

What does this even mean? How does holding your hand further apart ruin a game.

 

[oreomunsta]

Rollers are definitely too OP

 

[Papercuts]

Holy shit, I just went 22 and 3 against an all roller team with my roller.

 

[Blunoise]

I'm a scattershot JR convert

Same here buddy I use that and won five in the row with gyro controles. Rollers had nothing on me lol

 

[Blueblur1]

yep, this is still awesome.

preordered.

Do you go by Tesseract on Wii U? Pretty sure I played with you earlier.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I haven't been matched for quite a while now. I mean, I'm in a match, but it hasn't started, and it's taken several minutes.
