Hmm. Are they going to be any other opportunities to try out the game other than those Testfire sessions? Some kind of demo?

I've had a passing interest in the game, checked out a japanese stream last night, and it's still tough to tell if it's something that I'll really like. I don't think I'll have any irl friends to play with but there's always GAF for that. Decisions!

I thought some best buys had a demo up?

It's still not there as I said. But you don't need both for singleplayer so it's a bummer they didn't at least support it for that.



Except not. You always end up using something no matter how you slice it. It has been discussed/argued to death in the other threads before launch. They'll never update it for multiplayer. Singleplayer is your only chance.

Lame and annoying. The UPad seriously hurts my hands.

They do indeed, but I don't think every BB has the demo. The demo itself is of the single-player, and it gives a idea how to play and all that jazz (The tutorial from the Testfire was in the demo at BB); it was pretty fun, and I wanted to play a bit more if I wasn't strapped for time. :<

While I am really enjoying the game, I feel like some of the maps really don't prevent spawn camping enough since there's only one exit to it. Especially with how you lose special progress on death.

Boo!!!!!!!!

I was really hoping to mix and match. Oh well, looks like I'm sticking with the Splattershot Jnr.

Once you start playing the main game you'll realise why it's locked, if it wasn't some weapons will be so unbalanced, it's a shame but at least you know everyone has their weakness with each set.
 
The game comes out tomorrow, and I have a big exam on the 30th, gotta study. Gonna be so hard having the game but not being able to spend any/that much time with it. :(

Yeah, If people could mix and match everyone would use the exact same set up (the strongest)

It was put really well in the Gametrailers review that each set has it's strengths and weaknesses, and learning to play around the differences and weaknesses in each weapon set is way more fun than just picking the best of the best all the time.

It's the same with the maps switching up all the time. If you could choose, everyone would choose the same one, and it would be boring.

I trust it's for a good reason. Man I can't wait for tomorrow. This is going to be one long night shift.

It not being there for singleplayer should get fixed as it's really easy to implement Off Tv Play.

But yeah, this will likely never get it for multiplayer because the whole point of the Gamepad is to see the way the match is going and warp to your teammates.

Why not just jump to another in your team? Spawn campers will never get any points if they just camp.
 
there's no spawn camping per se, just putting on serious pressure on the enemy team in their spawn area

they're fault if it even comes to that point, though. it'd require one team to get clearly outplayed at which point a loss would be deserved.

If all your team is stuck in the spawn, you can't. That's the point of spawn camping. ;P

I dunno, I don't particularly agree due to how some of the maps are designed.

I'll admit it doesn't happen often, but it can be annoying when it does.

It's possibly a fault of the matchmaking being iffy due to low player count until release, though.

Digital or physical can't decide

Digital: It'll always be on your system, thus eliminating the need to switch discs.
Physical: Always have it on you in physical form in case you need to bring it somewhere. If you're worried about Nintendo's online "account system", this gets rid of that fear.

FWIW, I only went physical because of GCU with Best Buy.
